Hope you will be returning to this story. I’m hoping to see a triumphant return of Olivia

Author's Response:

Don't worry, she's the focus of the story. She'll be back. I don't have a lot of time right now and have also temporarily shifted focus back to my old story (Growth Potential) but I'll periodically plug new chapters here. I'm very happy with some upcoming things I have in mind for this story so I'm eager to get to them. Thanks for reading.

Not a huge fan of Ginger or Elektra, understand stories of this length need more then 2 characters.  However I like the 'painfully' gentle teasing that Jack recieves from Olivia.  Plus Olivia needs him for her plans.  Basically like story but would like even more Olivia!!!  Thank you!

Love the introduction of the new characters .Can't wait to see what new things Olivia and Elektra come up with!

Oh yeah, I think good writing and sensible storytelling is hugely important (looking at you, Game of Thrones!). On the other hand I can't stand the way shows like Star Trek forcefully tie things together by nerding out, making sure both the audience and the characters understand exactly what's going on through painfully annoying and seemingly unnecessary technobabble dialogue. Nor do they ever simply admit when their writers make a mistake or decide to throw away an old rule for convenience, but insist on retconning it. Initially I was thinking maybe Olivia just steps on some sort of growth ray platform every morning and shrinks back down on the same platform when she leaves work, along with shrinking whatever she's carrying, and then the E-Reactor would offer a more powerful growth capability not limited to the size of the original platform. Your setup has some limitations but it certainly allows for some interesting possibilities, and I guess the E-Reactor and related technological advances might add an entirely new dimension to the whole thing. I'm also taking Jack's claims at face value for the moment, maybe he's not telling the full truth either.

 

If Olivia and Jack are still able to breathe, it seems like ordinary molecules must get entangled with active macro/micro particles once they're sufficiently absorbed, so perhaps Olivia can safely eat something if she waits long enough to digest it and eventually expels whatever her body doesn't absorb? If she eats something with micro particles in it, will her body just flush it out or will the micro particles get expelled by the dominant macro particles already set in? Also keep in mind nail polish and clothing, these girls must be getting a fresh dose of macro particles every day so it all grows with them.

 

Meh, I'll let you figure things out to your satisfaction unless you feel like you're getting stuck somewhere. If you find it getting too complicated, I would just edit a few lines in the last few chapters so the collar is still there, but it's more like a safety mechanism which is required to be used in conjunction with the company's shrinking/growing platform/ray, in order to prevent giants from running amok at large, or random unqualified people shrinking themselves and others as a stupidly dangerous prank. In that case its purpose would be to restore the wearer to normal size if they try to goof off (or whatever it's tricked into thinking normal size is...). Then either Olivia's sock is still huge back at Jack's house and his clothes are still tiny at hers (definitely simplest and most flexible), or else the collar's safety effect is weaker and slower when it acts on something being inappropriately removed from the wearer's body, due to other considerations (such as averting the possibility of shrinking someone with the collar by shaking their hand and then letting go, say).

 

Under that alternative scenario, if you want it to get real wild, maybe with a little hacking the collars have the ability to arbitrarily dial back and forth between their max/min size as set by the platform and "normal", along with everything inbetween, and the E-Reactor will be found capable of resetting just what "normal" is in addition to its intended use as a power source. In the meantime perhaps Olivia can shrink and grow stuff by holding onto it when she changes size whether using the collar or the company platform, and Jack can make ladies grow a bit by reducing himself to midget size and growing while holding their hands (or that other kinky thing I suggested).

 

Looking forward to the next installment, whenever it comes!

Author's Response:

To your comment about Jack's claims being truthful: there's what he says to her and then there's the narrative dialog that betrays that he was telling the truth. I'm OK with deception but we're deliberately telling the reader that he's being truthful, so to just spontaneously say he's lying later in the story would be very underwhelming. I won't do it.

The "how can they breathe/walk/etc physics I'm disregarding, as all growing/shrinking stories have to do. Some amount of suspension of disbelief is necessary. These physics are impossible. The best you can do is establish a consistent set of rules for a fictional world, and abide by it. I don't think it's too complicated, it's actually pretty fun. It's already been worked out, what Olivia can and cannot do. I'm really enjoying writing this story, to tell the truth.

Yeah I'm more or less done speculating and just excited to see what Olivia and her colleagues end up achieving, and I hope it takes them a good long while to fully figure things out!

 

Just another little thought about toe sucking... If Jack is wearing that collar and he's near normal size, then shrinks a little bit while sucking a girl's toes, and she's already been exposed to macro particles up to a certain size limit... Then she would theoretically grow bigger at the same time and retain that for a few hours, no? It wouldn't work when Jack is smaller because of the reasons you already gave, but he can certainly go around giving the ladies a boost, and resizing himself to top them up later when it starts to wear off!

 

Sorry to throw so many ideas at you so quickly, I just want to get them out there in case you haven't already thought of similar ideas yourself. Whatever that reactor does, I definitely hope it sets a whole new paradigm for sizing possibilities.

Author's Response:

Really great question, with obvious implications. 

So, I didn't really need to make the growth/shrinking mechanics as complicated as they are in this story, but I really liked forcing the main character to figure out how to exploit a system, show off her ingenuity, and prove her superiority not just physically, but mentally as well. Of course, this also means I've been trying my best to anticipate how these mechanics would plausibly work and where it could lead the story. I have a few different story trajectories in mind, just gotta run through all the permutations to see what makes the most sense. I don't really like when stories just magically defy their own rules to achieve a certain ending, so I'll do my best to avoid that here. Apologies if it gets a little complicated along the way but I'll endeavor to make things clear in due course. But I also don't want this story to be a damn manual for how the story actually works (Looking at you: Inception), so the pacing has gotta be just right.

Thanks for sticking in there. I promise it'll get real interesting!

Really exciting and sexy stuff, keep it coming! I'm thinking since Olivia already has anklets and toe rings to go with her sandals and flip flops, why not go all out and paint the nails with some artistic designs, gemstones, sparkles and decals, or alternating colours? Nails like those would be such a great place to shrink down smaller and smaller and smaller, watching yourself get dwarfed by the tiniest of details. Even something as simple as having one colour on her big toes and another for the rest would be really hot.

The shrink and growth mechanics are definitely interesting and I'm intrigued by what Olivia has planned as far as taking advantage. It seems Jack may be something of a pioneer in the whole size changing field, so I imagine Olivia will be putting him to use accordingly. I'd like to see how Olivia is handling the power trip of being one of the largest, fastest and most powerful people in human history whenever she's on the job; maybe she can even have Jack help her set some new records?

Author's Response:

Lot of good ideas here. No promises but I'll see what I can do!

This is so erotic and sexy, I love the whole concept. I assume since Olivia's sock is still huge, there are ways to keep things big and small without the collars, like she could shrink the sock back down with tiny Jack inside and he'd only be 1 or 2 millimetres tall, and only a few inches when his own collar is inactive. If that's the case she needs to seriously abuse this shit!

 

Imagine one day Jack is Olivia's anklet, the next he's spending the day as a 4 foot midget rubbing her feet in public on a date, the next he's a half inch tall painting gemstones on her toenails, then he's driving around in his truck on a city-sized flip flop... I really hope some of Jack's nightmares end up coming to pass, but in a more positive way without him becoming a victim of course. Maybe some thieves attempt to break into the facility after hours to steal valuable equipment, but giantess Olivia captures them and shrinks them down with her as she returns to normal?

Author's Response:

The way the collars work will be expanded upon in the next chapter, but your assumption is *roughly* correct. It's mostly written but I likely won't have time to finish it until Monday.

Also, keep in mind we also haven't even gotten to what the E Reactor actually does, so more on that later.

Let's hope things turn out well for little Jack.

This story as well as your last story are both amazing! One question I have though is if the collars reverse the size change when taken off, how did the sock stay enlarged when removed from the body wearing the collar? Does it only apply to the person wearing it and not what they have with them?

Author's Response:

Fear not! This is covered in detail in the next chapter. Glad you're enjoying :)
