Hey! Great conclusion for With Great Power! Hope you have had some down time, but wanted to check in to see how the alternate ending to Babbysitter is progressing. Can't wait!
Author's Response:
Hello,
I did have a little downtime, but I had ideas on several projects I wanted to get jotted down and start work on. As for the alternate ending...(see main page)
Now, this, obviously, is only the first part, and I'm putting it out relatively quickly, but with the exception of most the Shannon parts, much of it was already written and just re-arranged to fit the new chapter. The second half (and I'm praying it's only a two-parter) is still a work in progress, and it will be a while before I'm even close to finishing. Thus, this is your opportunity to give extensive feedback/suggestions for what I've done so far: do you like the setup? Where can I go from here? Etc...
As I've said before, this ending is going to be BIG (as in length): the first part alone was, like, 25 pages of writing, so I wouldn't expect anything until the end of October minimum. No matter what, however, I really want it finished by no later than the end of the year. Hope you like the work I've done so far, and keep checking back.

Ah...glad to hear it's going well, and good luck with the reworked ending to WGP! Have to say, I know you want to keep Shannon manageable, but would love to see her get to 400+ feet in the city. That way Chris (if he grows back), Sue Ann, etc would look as small to her (1 inch or smaller if she grows past 400 ft) as Chris previously looked to Shannon in a great twist! Not to mention the city would be much more a playground. Glad to hear about the footplay, and either way, I'm sure it will be awesome!
Author's Response:
Yes, thank you for your support. If you haven’t already, I’d appreciate a review from you on “With Great Power...”
If I didn’t mention it before, the alternate chapter is going to take place right after Rachel finds out about Chris while he’s over at Sue Anne’s. He’s definitely going to be growing, but it’s going to be in relation to how tall Shannon is growing; that way he can end up trap with her again, possibly between her toes.
I’m not sure as of yet exactly how tall I want Shannon to grow, but I want her to be a or to interact with other people with them at different sizes relative to her: with them the size of dolls, tiny figures, etc. I’m hoping to have a little bit of everything so that giantess growth fans can find something that they like.

Thanks for responding! If you're looking for ideas, I'd suggest the below without getting too prescriptive. I think the chapter should pick up with the prospect of Chris ' parents coming home and Shannon thinking she would likely be arrested for what she's done. She has tiny Ray and thinks, if he can create a growth formula, she can grow out of her problems because, if she was big enough, neither Chris' parents nor the police would be able to hold her accountable for what she did. She tricks Ray into producing it by seducing him and promising to use it to use it to restore his size to be her boyfriend. He makes it and Shannon is, just then confronted by Sue Ann, Rachel, and very tiny Chris. The police gather outside with Chris parents to arrest Shannon. There's a fight inside and the formula spills on both Shannon and Chris. Both grow proportionally and slowly. Shannon grows out of the house as the others flee. She plays with the police before growing again as the formula continues to take effect. Each time Shannon grows, Chris does too. In her fun playing with the police and Chris' parents, she momentarily forgets Rachel, Sue Ann, Chris and Ray who escape. Shannon remembers themand heads towards Ray's labi.n the city before they can recreate the formula and stop her. We jump to Sue Ann, Ray, Rachel, and a now full sized Chris downtown. As tiny Ray recreates the formula, he reveals that, as Shannon and Chris got equal doses, they will grow proportionally and, as Chris is now full sized, Shannon must be (select the size) 800 feet tall. They feel a rumble as sirens sound. It's Shannon's footfalls, and her foot or something fill the view from the window. Shannon sensuality urges Chris to come out reminding him how he loved her feet and he would love playing with them at this size. Beyond that, defer to you. Perhaps Shannon gets her hands on the second dose of growth formula and grows thousands of feet tall and it becomes Shannon's world. Perhaps Rachel grows and challenges Shannon. I'd love to see lots of footplay. Maybe also interaction with the army. Maybe there's a harbor next to the city and Sue Ann, Chris, and Rachel try to escape by boat to see only to have Shannon picks the boat out of the water and plays with it like a bath toy. Maybe she gets hig enough to do it with the whole navy. If Shannon gets the second dose and grows miles tall, she could play with whole buildings between her toes as Chris initially tries to escape and is slowly seduced my their gigantic size. He could explore the vastness of her soles as Shannon enjoys and comments on her titanic size.

Well, once again, thanks for your suggestion.

Hey! While I'm loving the emerging dynamics in With Great Power, I wanted to check in to see if the giantess Shannon chapter was still possible. You had mentioned you wanted to get a few one-offs out by end of the year including this, but not sure if it got pushed by Great Power as you're on a roll with that. Thanks as always!
Author's Response:
So, in all honesty, it most definitely IS ON MY “TO-DO LIST”, but I’m a little stuck on the outline: I’ve got the first part pretty well mapped out, but the second half is giving me trouble. I want to fit in several giantess tropes and scenarios, while still being true to the characters, as well as delivering a solid chapter to the story. I’ve taken many of your, and other, suggestions to heart, but obviously, any more suggestions would always be read and appreciated.
Right now, I don’t want to start the bulk of the writing until I have a solid outline, as this is probably going to be the LONGEST and GRANDEST chapter of the story, but it’s been set aside until “With Great Power...” is finished (which I hope to have done by the end of the year), and I certainly hope you’re enjoying that one in the meantime. My overall plan, moving forward, is to complete the alternate chapter, as well as several small, one-chapter stories, before I start any larger project.
Rest assured, however, I fully intend to write this alternate chapter. I just want to make sure it’s well worth the wait, as there’s been a lot of hype around it.
Sorry for the delay, but thanks for checking in.

Well, well, well. Look who's back! When I saw this on the "most recent" page, my heart almost skipped a beat but then I asked myself, "wasn't this story finished?" So I read the story notes and I see you added this little plot synopsis in the beginning. I'm not sure why it's called "forward" though. I'm curious as to why you picked that word. I would've expected maybe "intro" or "background" or something. But that's just a minor detail.
Anyway, my favorite chapter is the alternate chapter with Mrs. Carson but you probably already knew that. It's easily my favorite because my favorite giantess gets to play with Chris!
Lastly, it's great to see you back online here, which will always make others including me wonder if you might consider making a new story or sequel or something else in the future. I'm not expecting much since the world has gone crazy and it might be difficult to write something new now. However, if you do continue to write, I would be glad to read it sometime.
I can't wait for your next story/update!
Author's Response:
Yeah, sorry to get your hopes up, but I’m glad to see you’re still a fan, and I wonder how many ticks of that read count are you reading and re-reading the Mrs. Carson chapter. I also wonder if you picked up on her shrinking a tiny bit after sniffing the empty vial that once contained the shrinking potion.
In any case, I have plenty of stories coming up: some short, single-chapter stories, and several multi-chapters stories. In fact, I was just recently inspired to do a short story involving some “giant couples” interaction. But as for my next project, If you’d like to see, check out the “With Great Power...” preview on my page. I’ll be posting a “forward” for it soon.

I think the intro is terrific. Having detailed context adds so much depth to the story and enriches the interaction of the characters. It also makes it easier for the reader to put themselves into the story. Then, once that is done, you can jump right into the text knowing the personal dynamics. Great add!
Also, do you still plan to do an alternate ending with Shannon becoming a giantess? I'm still hopeful, and great to see you posting to this story again!
Author's Response:
That’s the exact reaction I was hoping for! I want readers to know what they’re in for, which requires a detailed summary; the problem is, I don’t want to turn them off with a long summary as they’re scrolling through the recent stories. I figured this was the best option. The other challenge was making it long enough without giving away too much of the plot: The website requires chapters to be at least 500 words long, so I had to add a lot of colorful and descriptive language, which I guess shows off my writing style and hopefully attracts readers to continue with the story. <br /><br />
I want you to know that I am fully planning on doing an alternate ending with Shannon is a giantess. Unfortunately, growth stories aren’t my forte, so I’m working hard to make sure I get it just right. Not only that, in order to do it justice, the chapter is going to be long…Very long....probably is the largest in the story, which I guess is fitting. I refuse to do a half assed job, and I want the chapter to flow smoothly. I’ve got parts of it written, at least the parts I know I want, but I’m not sure exactly how to end it. Slowly but surely it’s getting done, but I have other stories I’m trying to work on in tandem as well. Keep checking back, and hopefully you’ll be pleased and impressed with the final result.
