"Side note: I hope you're still writing as well. Really enjoy your work and was digging The Castaways."

Yeah...I will...eventually.  This semester of grad school was a massive consumer of time and energy.  I've got several chapters started on The Parvian Perspective but haven't gotten around to finishing any of them.  Even though I've been on summer break for a month already, as you probably know, once you stop writing for a while it can be hard to start it up again.

Once again, you've produced an excellent series.  I enjoyed the characters, the new setting in the Old West, and the predicaments that our protagonist encountered.  It was a fresh perspective that I think was good for you as a writer to explore. 

I wasn't anticipating this story going as long as it did.  I think it went just the right amount of chapters.  This is not a criticism.  Just noting that I agree with your decision to wrap it up when you did.

Great job!



Author's Response:

I wasn't anticipating this story going as long as it did either! It was a combination of falling in love with the characters and the ending just getting further and further away as the scope expanded. Glad you liked the conclusion. I agree that it was time to bring things to a close.

Side note: I hope you're still writing as well. Really enjoy your work and was digging The Castaways.

Author's Response:

Yes, this story mainly exists for self-indulgence of my fantasies but I've done my best to balance that with the plot. Glad you appreciate it.

I'm also glad you liked the Eulalia section. I was unsure about it. Eulalia took a rather progressive view for the 1800s and I wasn't sure if it was believable. But I couldn't see her rejecting Mina after they were finally reunited.

 Yeah, nothing wrong with that, it's how I would write. Self-indulgence is a pretty big reason a lot of people are here in the first place, I feel. If everyone wanted to cater to a larger crowd, writing giantess smut is already counter-productive to that. :P

And I think Eulalia's stance still makes sense. That sort of progressiveness might not have been common in the 1800s, but I can't imagine it being absent entirely. And on top of all that... she has a daughter who can fit in the palm of her hand. I feel like that alone would require some open-mindedness to accept.

Anyway I just love the whole thing, keep doing you! I read through some of the reviews on your previous work and saw some of the complaints you've gotten from "helpful critics", I'm sorry you've had to put up with that (and I hope I'm not coming across as demanding or anything either). I for one am grateful to see a writer who shares the same view as me, in that a story can be gentle and lighter in tone, and still convey all the depth and impact and suspense it could need to make a compelling read. If a writer's can't make their story interesting without killing off a character every time, maybe their writing needs a bit of work elsewhere. ^^;

I can't think of anything witty to say, it's THAT exciting. Love the direction this is going, Pixis. Lesbi-onest, this might be my favorite piece you're written yet.

How have I not seen this masterpiece in progress before? This is easily the most adorable, light hearted story I've read on this site that simultaneously has a intriguing plot. Instant favorite, instant 10.

Oh this is a lovely beginning! I have always held a fondness in my heart for Thumbelina-sort stories, and this looks to be a quite good one. I hope you will see it through to its conclusion!

I hope you keep the unaware going! saphire might not have very good eyesight!!!
great work. 



Author's Response:

Thanks. Sorry to say that this is the main chapter that I planned to have unaware interaction. The women need to discover Mina for the plot to move forward. That said, she is very small so there could be unaware moments later on if they fit the story.
