Hey Guys quick update,
Got a lot of writing done this weekend. I'll be writing throughout the week when I have time. I think you guys are really going to enjoy this chapter. The plot is really coming together.
Thanks as always for your patience :)

Date: August 21 2022 6:24 PM Title: Chapter 32
So i have been rereading the story for the last month, and first off i want to say again this is the best story on giantessworld. This story is still holding up, and i will say favorite section is so far the beginning to around chapter 10. I am also massively enjoying the giantess individual chapters. I am really looking forward to Naomi's chapters and then the back story for Annabelle, and then the climax of this story.
So I have noticed there is something wierd going on with Naomi. She has had weird interaction's on screen with Annabelle and may very well be the most caring and understanding of the 4, which is weird to say since this is miss vore fetish. I don't think Annabelle has thought on her very much, but I am thinking that she may actually be in the lead for imprinting. Naomi showed some understanding in chapter 3 when she took Annabelle to her room to put on night clothes, and then there was the vore chapter, and then the kiss chapter, and now the bear incident, where she smelled Naomi on the bear and it started a micro imprint. There is also the fact that she is very unwilling to so her caring and loving side to anyone, not even around the girls ( maybe especially). So I really want to get in to Naomi's head and see what is going on.
Now this weird imprinting episode that has been going on is interesting. I think what's going on is that she has finally been around one girl at a time enough that the presence of the others is no longer a factor, so she is pinging off one and really imprinting, Harper was the smell, but also the fact that she isn't around the others now, and the past connection, Molly was the fact that she was sleep deprived and Molly stepped up and protected her ( from the BITCH). Leah does what she does best and simply dominates and overwhelms little Annabelle. So I am very interested to see what happens with Naomi.
I also don't think the meeting with the resistance is going to go how Annabelle hopes. I think if the commander is who we think it is, than i expect Annabelle to perhaps run and let Poppy out for a bit, cause she will not no how to react to that situation. Also I really hope we get a meeting with mother, who is still big, I think that would be a very interesting meeting, cause her mother has apparently abandoned her As well. There is only two people in story currently who haven't abandoned her, Byte, and Cloe.
I am rooting for her staying with the 4, but not imprinting. I think that is where she could do the most good long term for shrinkies as a whole, cause i do think, (as long as she does ward off the imprinting) she could eventually at least curb the worst of the 4 excesses towards shrunken. and since they will mostly likely come to be in charge of the BSA that might change the BSA. Now for an actual happy end for Annabelle personally she would be with Cloe, sorry Byte, but a tiny needs a giant, and a giant needs a tiny. As Annabelle said Cloe is her best friend, and Cloe will fight for her.
So I am really looking forward to the next round of chapters when ever u get around to posting it. THis promises to be one heck of a ride.
PS. Cant wait for Zoey's return, ( which i am pretty sure will be caused by Naomi). Also i am really curious to see what the BSA is going to do to facilitate the imprinting.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much Ralgar, your words mean a lot.
You're comments on Naomi are very astute. Can't say much but this will be delved into pretty soon.
As for the imprinting episodes and their catalysts...you are definitely in the right frame of mind with how you're viewing them.
Oof, yeah the resistance plotline may not go the way some may expect it to.
Interesting comments on Annabelle's mother. If she is still in fact alive, can you explain why you would want her to still be unshrunken? Just curious.
And also interesting what you wrote about Chloe...
I want to comment more things, but I'm going to wait a couple of chapters so I don't mistakenly spoil anything.
Thanks for your support Ralgar!
[Report This]Date: July 21 2022 8:39 AM Title: Chapter 32
Monsters is really the best word to describe the governor and it’s friends/family. They fucking ate children! Did the giantesses participate in that? If so, I would prefer cutting my own head off than ever imprinting on any of them. Leah’s chapters managed to really made me understand this feeling of dread and fear Anna has when confronted with the giantesses, so much so she is comming back to some old habbits... not that other chapters didn’t but... they fucking ate children!!
And Toe Jam... talk about being indoctrinated, but I guess anyone would become strange if your own mother wanted to kill you and your best friend enslaved you... Monsters. Oh but Leah cried and she couldn’t get rid of Toe Jam... FUCK THAT! Anna is right, she stripped her of any sense of self, she treated her as a thing!! Monster.
Sorry for ranting, but, as I said, Leah’s chapter was heavy and eliminated any sympathy I could ever feel for her as a reader... so I must ask: did all the giantesses ate children like her parents?
I even wish Toe Jam had touched some of Anna’s blood. She would be better off worshipping Annabelle. On that note, Toe Jam interactions with her and Annabelle scenes as a giantess were the best, the highlight of these last two chapters. The dream scene was as perfect as ever and it made me wonder if the 4 co-ed also ever dreamed of Anna as a massive giantess. The irony: the BSA top dreaming of being the size of a speck.
About Oliver I simply can’t bear to think Anna will end up with a man, and this chapter is a warning: Byte will betray her as Oliver did. No. Anna has to open and come to fall in love with a giantess. Only then she will really find balance as a tiny – she will feel safe but also free. A difficult task even if she wasn’t the size she is.
There is more I wish to talk... about Naomi, about Poppy and how Annabelle did not forget her real name during the imprints (thanks God. Annabelle is such a beautiful name, much better than Poppy), but I will leave that for another comment.
Yes, I hate Leah and no, I don’t feel sympathetic towards her because of her mother, since she was also part of the BSA (probably choose to mary the governor because of that).
Great chapter, I can’t wait for Naomi and Nell next. For holding own to her kindness, Annabelle is the true goddess of this story.
Author's Response:
Ha! I won't confirm or deny if the FF have ever eaten babies before, but I will say they did not eat those particular babies that the colony Shrinkees are referencing.
Hahahaha, Mr. in A suit, sorry to say, but you seem to be in the minority of your feelings towards the FF. I personally believe the things the FF are not forgivable, but I'm not a Type 0 Shrinkee with hormone-filled thoughts.
God, I honestly cannot respond to anything else you've written without spoiling anything (seriously, I've tried) . All I can say is that I look forward to your comments for the upcoming chapters.
(You're always trying to slip me up)
Thanks as always for your dangerous review, Mr in A suit.

Another absolutely excellent chapter, thank you!
Leah has been my favourite (alongside Zoey) since the start so really pleased to have such a long chapter with her as the focal point. Love when Anna slips into Poppy mode, including the subtle nuances of things like capitalising 'Her' (religious...)
Tragic story with Toe Jam. I would kinda like to have a 'flashback' to that moment somewhere down the line. I love the idea of the friends dynamic - one suddenly becoming the all powerful force in the other's life, and I just know you would write that brilliantly.
Like other commenters, would like Anna to imprint (still harbouring a dream of it being to Zoey) rather than escape this nightmare.
Author's Response:
Thanks redfoot,
Good catch with the capitalized pronoun thing, that was exactly what I was going for.
Hmm I did consider adding that ToeJam's origin scene. The story is already so long, so there were some things that I had to cut out. Also, writing minors in a fetish setting--even if it's obviously not sexualized-- is a tricky line to walk for me (it's why I cut out Annabelle's cousin plotline from the progressing story). But maybe I'll include a scene as one of the side stories I'll publish after the main story is finished (I mean if there's interest for it). Also, I love the power shift of a friends to shrinkee plot too, so you're not alone.
Hahaha it's crazy how you and so many people are pro-imprinted Annabelle.
Thanks for commenting redfoot! If you have any other side story suggestions, just let me know!
[Report This]Date: July 18 2022 5:12 PM Title: Chapter 32
Okay so the Leah chapter is here and is every bit as glorious as I have expected. It tell us that Leah, after losing her mother at such a young age and then "losing" her friend, one to a disease and other to what she perceives is a disease, has some horrible trust issues and in general anxiety over diseases so is no wonder that a small person, genetically made to adore her and love her unconditionally who is virtually immortal is a dream come true for her. Despite looking the most confident of the group she is actually the most insecure, and her possessiveness makes a lot of of sense now. She is terrified of losing the people she loves.
And with that it also comes the weird relationship she has with her father where apparently they see each other as equals and compete fiercely over anything and everything which...could be good if you see it as a sign of respect, and I'm sure Leah sees it this way but to me competing with your child like that is just...not good parenting. You are essentially bullying them, and telling them you are not and will never be a parental figure to be trusted, but a rival and for a girl that lost her mother I say she needs a parental figure more than a rival.
I think is interesting that it gives the society of shrinkie haters an extra dimension. They see shrinkism as a tragedy or horrible disease, to the point a mother would be willing to kill her own beloved child over it. Reminds me of people that would want a dead child rather than an alive gay or trans child and it makes them seem more real in a very sad way. The toe jam revelation says a lot about them and how they are and behave.
Also, I'm kind of happy Leah did what she did with whatshisface because I really, really, reaaaaally didn't care for him. As a love interest he is like bland and uninteresting. I'm sorry because I love all your characters and I know you put a lot of effort in writing them!But I really hopes he never comes back. Also, I LOVED that Leah heard Anabelle singing and I dont know if I want her keeping the recording to herself or if I want her to share.
Also like someone before me commented I dont want anyone to get their just desserts. For me the ideal endings are Anabelle imprinting in one or all of the girls and remain more or less herself and actually learn to love one or all of the girls, or for the girls to organize a coup and throw over their parents. That would be fun. But then again I have always vouched for the imprinting ending
Author's Response:
Really interesting comments Naoru.
Annabelle really is a godsend for Leah. She seems to check off every item on her list, so it's no wonder that she views her as hers by right. And yeah, all of the BSA Founders have...interesting ways of parenting. They do truly love their children (yes, even Mrs. Gates) they just have very warped ways of viewing the world and that features into the morals/lessons they wish to instill into their children. Yeah, HDD is a not so subtle metaphor for (insert marginalized group), they believe they are doing the right thing by eradicating them because of how society treats them, without maybe considering how their own actions are a symptom of said treatment.
Hahahaha I think the Oliver hate is very funny. Personally, I like Oliver but I also have the advantage of having his and Annabelle's past history in my head.
As for the ending...we'll just have to see.
Thanks for your comments Naoru you gave me some good insight.
[Report This]Date: July 16 2022 9:15 AM Title: Chapter 32
Steven seemed to be in a pickle there with Leah hovering over them like a tiger mom. I don't really blame Bitsy as she likely had an easier time of things than Anna or even Steven...or well I -hope- she did.
Not sure why Leah is so glower at the moment but I am sure we'll find out hopefully with minimal bloodshed for all involved!
-----
Anna can only wear one collar in life, dear sweet loving Zoey's of course.
Which I am sure Steven will learn all about as she spills her life out for him next time. It really never gets any easier for her but if one person actually can fight off Poppy with some persistence it would be Anna. Now for how long? Nobody really knows but the fact she has gotten this far is commendable in itself.
----
Ah wholesome Leah in her garden of zen and tranquility!
The beauty of the scene, the heartfelt words, the loving embrace really helps you forget she's a mass murdering titaness who could scare even the most hardened criminal with just a look. If only Bennett had not been a major peeve maybe Anna could've had a way out sooner without a trace...but fate has other plans for the poor girl.
Though you do feel for Leah losing her mother, a heartwarming tale that lead to the creation of one of the most cold hearted beings...well outside of her love of Anna.
---
Leah seems to have a devious plan up her sleeve to crush poor Anna's will power, it's gonna take all she has to fight off whatever she has planned I'm sure.
Really shitty to see her getting that close to being able to get legit answers to those burning questions from one of the big bads and having to play the good little pet instead. Anna deserves happiness after all she's been through but at the price of being Leah's mindless and possibly remorseless little drone doesn't seem the peace she's hoping for.
-----
Good on Toe Jam helping Anna get better at pampering the evil titaness. If more tinies worked in harmony we would likely live longer more fulfilling lives!
Maybe not but still it was a nice moment in a likely not so nice existence for poor Jam so at least she gets to be proud of something! Now as for the reward who knows if that will be something to be happy with but hopefully she gets something nice.
---
Wow...I was expecting some deep reveal of her possibly being family like a sister or something but here we have Leah actually showing empathy for a tiny who isn't Anna. She really seems to get the shitty end of the stick with loved ones which makes her reason for wanting Anna to imprint on her AND her unrepentant destruction of over people's loved ones quite clear and shocking all the same.
Quite the reward indeed.
---
Quite the scene you've crafted here...
Not sure how many Jesters get -that- duty on their job description but leave it to Leah to be the one to implement it on poor Anna. This one feels like it is the worst one yet honestly, even worse than having her wedding turned into marrying Harper's tootsies.
All the bloodshed from her simplest of movements and worst yet she gained -pleasure- from committing mass murder all for the chance to lick her Queen's womanhood to bring about a happy ending from the senseless slaughter while creating more..
All with glee..
---
If you pleasure a giant homicidal co-ed in your dreams then you pleasure a giant homicidal co-ed in real life!
I guess this one time Anna couldn't escape nightmares but it makes sense with Leah it makes perfect sense given that she wants to own Anna like she's never owned anything before. a hopelessly devoted mindless drone to the Queendom.
Long live, Queen Leah.
---
Well you've effectively stuck knife through Anna's heart so deep and thorough that I don' know what Naomi could do should of murdering Chloe or one of her family sans Zoey in front of her.
I don't blame Oliver for this as he was dealing with a world class manipulatrix using a Desert Eagle while he only had a BB gun but fuck man that has to be one of the most painful portions to read from Anna's perspective.
Godspeed to her.
Author's Response:
Hahaha, conveying the FF's domaining presence purely through their physicality is one of my favorite things to write.
--
Ha! I'm very much certain that Zoey would prefer something a little more permanent for Annabelle.
--
I really do like the juxtaposition of the wealth and over all fanciness of the FF's houses, dwellings, cars, etc, with the bloody and grotesque things they do.
--
Ah, Leah and her plans. Unfortunately for Annabelle, they usually work.
--
Ha it's really admirable that you're still hopeful the FF would do something nice for a non-Annabelle Shrinkee.
--
Yeah, Leah's familial history does bring some insight as to why she is the way she is with Annabelle. If this ultimately will tug at Annabelle's heart strings...we'll have to see.
--
Yup, I think that's Annabelle's biggest fear--not so much imprinting--but becoming someone that will hurt others without much care.
--
Ha! I really like writing the shenanigans the FF get into while sleeping. I think of it as a way to showcase their mindset.
--
Hahahahaha! Well Leah and Naomi are natural rivals, so maybe Naomi is up for the challenge.
--
Thanks for your comments Adam. So observant and funny as always.

Date: July 16 2022 2:45 AM Title: Chapter 32
Well first of all welcome back. This chapter was amazing. Leah has been one of my main contenders since i first started reading this story, and this chapter did not disapoint.
Leah is probably the most selfish and and cold heart bitch of the 4. I am not surprised that she would use Oliver that way, but damn how that played out still hurt. I did at first think that he may have hdd, but then even worse i thought he might have leahs sensibilities where shrunken are concerned, damn that he gave up the music for only 5 grand, i get why he did, but damn dude. I was right about Leah being extremely possive. Damn girl owns her former best friend ( though honestly i want to really want to know whats in her head, cause i dont know if i fully buy her statement about how she see Toejam ( and damn poor girl has completely bought into their ideas)). This chapter kinda made is clear that their is very little hope of Leah coming around to thinking of letting her go now, or changing her thinking on shrunken in general. Damn her dad and prob her mom to.
I also caught that statement about Annebells mom, damn that sucks, I really cant wait for Annebells story. But at this point i dont know how she will react when she finds out her sister is alive (probably), I mean she has thought her sister dead for ten years or more at this point, and her sister never contacted her, yea Annebell is not going to probably take that well at all. Another person who has either abbandoned her or failed her, or turned on her, and whats worse is it is her sister ( who she has kinda put on a pedestal). So yea that will be a very interesting encounter that i am looking forward to.
You know if the 4 were just a little different Annebell would have all but fallen for them i think, She is so starved for real love. That is one of the reasons i think she may be succombing and that wierd imprint stage where she is annebell and not, ( also damn Leah for trying to take advantage of that, but fully within her character to), Is that she has acknowledged on some lvl that these girls actually value her and she is being drawn to that like a moth to a flame. Damn if they had got her away from the massacre she would belong to one if not all 4 for sure. Also I caught that statement that she maybe imprinting on all 4 of them, i want to know how the girls will handle that if it is true, which what i have been rooting for from the beggining.
Author's Response:
Hey Ralgar,
Yeah, Leah will always go right for the soul of something, rather than a short-term infliction of pain. Out of the FF, Leah is probably the most "indoctrinated". Toe Jam's story isn't finished, so any lingering questions you have about their relationship will most likely be answered in upcoming chapters.
Good catch, Ralgar. Spoilers for Chapter 33: Annabelle's reaction to Beth/the Commander being alive will be interesting for sure. It's a complicated situation, so there's going to be a lot of complicated emotions.
You're also so right about the FF and Annabelle. I mean they're objectively heinous people and Annabelle is still struggling to resist the urge to sympathize with them. If they weren't how they were, I think she would've imprinted within a few weeks, if not sooner.
As always, good points!
Date: July 15 2022 7:26 PM Title: Chapter 32
Such a great chapter, as always! It’s so hard to choose who my favorite giantess is but it’s probably between Leah and Harper. And this chapter definitely may have pushed Leah to the top for me.
I originally thought that she was going to shrink Oliver but her plan was so much more cruel in a way than I could’ve imagined. And I love love LOVE Toe Jam’s backstory. The absolute cruel betrayal is exactly the kind of thing I love in these stories. Really makes me want to go back and reread past scenes with her in it so I can enjoy them even more knowing her backstory now.
I also want to say that I’ve been reading some of the other reviews and I just want to say that I absolutely hope that the giantesses or BSA do not get their comeuppance, so to speak. I really hate when cruel giants/giantesses get what’s coming to them. It undoes the very reason I love cruel giants/giantesses and it makes the stories less fun to reread knowing that that’s how it ends lol. With Byte and the resistance being introduced, I know that that’s probably where it’s headed, I just wanted to put my two cents in and let you know there’s some of us who don’t want it to happen 😂 I know I’m probably in the minority there though so I probably sound like a grumpy man hahaha. Either way, I’m gonna enjoy the giantesses and BSA having all their power while I can!
And I’m eally really hoping to see more disposal of shrinkees soon, especially from Leah 😁
Author's Response:
I love how even when you guys rank the FF, even the first/second rankings are still different combinations.
At the very early stages of writing out the plot, I did have the FF shrinking Oliver/Chloe/Izzy in the story for a while, but I figured there were better ways to use them. Oh and you're going to be doing a lot of re-reading of other characters, GhostWriter. Not going to spoil anything, but crazy things are coming up.
As a reader, I agree with you 100% about villains getting their comeuppance. I've skipped so many final chapters for that very reason. I cannot watch composed villains unravel and get humiliated. Now as a writer... we'll just have to see, haha.
And there will be plenty of Shrinkee casualties to come.
Thanks for your comments, GhostWriter!
[Report This]Date: July 15 2022 7:57 AM Title: Chapter 32
Well this was a treat. Up to this point I felt like Leah was my least favorite of the main 4 giantesses, but this chapter may have changed that. Not because I like her anymore as a person, obviously, but this chapter just hit so many emotionally complex notes that I love in shrinking fiction. I loved Annabelle clawing her way back from her temporary episode, and I felt for her during that ending segment. She had me going for a moment, I thought she really was unfazed by Leah's evil ploy, now I just feel for her.
Love learning about Annabelle's past from before she shrunk. Would one day hope to see her with Zelda or Zoey but not sure if the story will go that way, but I find her old life interesting.
Poor Toe Jam too, I felt a little bad for her before, now I really do. I feel for her so much, I really hope she gets a happy ending. I mean, I hope everyone outside of the BSA gets one for that matter.
Anyways, thank you for the update, I look forward to the next.
Author's Response:
It's so funny to me how some of you guys are changing your rankings so drastically, but in completely different directions--though I really relate to your reasoning. I am a sucker for flat characters--archetypical disney villains, etc-- but in order to make this story work, the FF really need that layer of complexity that is often revealed through how they treat/are treated by other characters.
God, can you imagine if I just never told Annabelle's backstory after hinting at it after over 30 chapters? That would actually be hilarious--don't tempt me, DarkStarGoddess. But what I will say about the moment when we go into her past, is that it will be the most nervous I will be publishing a chapter. It definitely is my most "out there" plotline and stands to run the risk of jumping the shark (which is why I'm taking so long to write these next few chapters as to mitigate that risk). I know on some level it's silly to care about believability in a story where a secret organization kills people who are predisposed to randomly shrink down to three inches, but I know a lot of people like this story and I want to respect the time you guys have given to this.
Oof yeah, I also really like Toe Jam (I like all of my characters). I can't say what will happen to her, but know her story isn't over yet!
Thanks for your comment!
Date: July 15 2022 6:39 AM Title: Chapter 32
This was probably the most unpleasant chapter I had the pleasure of reading. I was just coming off of Grace, a nasty little gremlin, from Deliverance getting her just desserts ... and here comes this monster of a Chapter to really sour the mood.
Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic chapter, but there better be a reckoning, I better see the God Emperor of Mankind mistake the BSA for some filthy xenos. Dang, I used to like Leah a lot (not in a sense of admiration, but enjoy as a villain the same way I enjoy a Disney villain), but now, I feel for her the same way Anakin feels about sand. What a nasty piece of work. I've speculated before that Anna would have to imprint, to sympathize with with four girls in order to change them, but Leah throws that in the crapper. The passage with "Toe Jam" really twisted in the knife.
Perhaps more seriously, Leah acts out the part of the psychopathic abuser. She actively works to isolate her target of interest, all the while acting obsessive over them. Any attempt to reason with her, and she lies, or tells fantasies so crazy only she believes them.
Don't know how Annabelle's getting out of this one. I guess in the end, her Portuguese blood really does need the power of B R A Z I L to prevail.
Author's Response:
Hahaha, damn Anakin and sand, huh? You must really hate her. But you're right on the money Divediveburners, Leah relies heavily on strategy in regards to how she interacts with Annabelle. Also, you may have noticed it already, but some of the FF's visions for Annabelle's future don't really align with one another's. It should be interesting to see that conversation come up soon.
Ha and I think she'll need the entire South American continent to take on the BSA.

Glad to hear projects are going well, Thankyou for the update and where u are with next chapter, for me 20,000+ words is fine, one thing I love about this story is the length of each chapter, it goes so fast no matter how long it is.

Quick update: Still alive, so sorry for the wait. Life has been crazy, but I am wrapping up something that occupied my attention for a month and a half. I've still been writing whenever I can, so there chapter is almost finished. I'm aiming to publish Monday-Wednesday.
But Guys.
This chapter is long--irresponsibly long. I still have one more scene to add, but the current word count is 20,000 +. Let me know if that's absolutely fucking insane and I'll skim it down.
Thanks again for the wait.

This is my first time making a review and I just want to say I really been enjoying this story for a while, I just read this story for the fifth time so far and I got to say I loving the to development of the characters and Annabelle, but I was wondering seeing as you said the story coming to a end soon after the FF background arc, I kind of wondering will this series be ending around fourty chapters then, or will it get to around fifty or sixth chapters before it end just curious. P.s your story is around my top three spot close to Deliverances by kardo.
Author's Response:
Thanks Nightwatch, as a chronic lurker, I appreciate your review. I'm not entirely sure how long this story will be by its end. The only limit I forced myself to adhere to was the two chapters per FF backstory rule, because if I didn't, I know this whole arc would be over fifteen chapters long. I mostly write based on plot points that I need to hit. Sometimes I'll realize I need to add a scene for a reveal to make sense later down in like five chapters, so then that may add to the chapter--and overall story--length.
So with that said, when I say coming to an end, I mean I have about five major plot points I need to hit--as opposed to the dozens that I already have. So after the FF backstories there is something else that happens that most can probably guess (the rule of parallelism and what not). Then I'm going to introduce something that has been simmering in the background--and then there's a mini arc/ B-plot that a lot of people will love/hate.
And you know what? I'm not going to say anything else, because I already feel like I may have somehow spoiled something.
But congratulations, Nightwatch, your first ever review and you managed to get so much outta me.

Absolutely never any need to apologise WriteofPassage - we all love your writing, but fully appreciate it takes time and life can get in the way.
Great to hear of the exciting opportunities you've had recently :)
Very excited for the next chapter, and conclusion of the best story I've ever read on this site.

Hey Guys,
I'm really sorry for the delay. I've gotten some really fantastic opportunities lately and my days have been pretty busy, so I haven't had as much time to write as I did previously. I try to write whenever I have time (I wrote the majority of the next chapter this weekend).
Like I said previously, I'm not going to abandon this story. I really appreciate you all for sticking with this for so long. I know my sporadic publishing times haven't made it easy.
After the FF's background arc, we'll be entering the final (&In my opinion, most exciting) section of this story. When I was writing this upcoming chapter this weekend, there was a huge part of me that just wanted to upload whatever I had before Monday, but I knew it wouldn't be fair to half-ass this story so late in the game (don't want to Game of Thrones this thing).
So I'm going to add the scenes that will best convey the themes I want to convey, and develop the characters to the best of my ability. Sorry again for the wait, and thank you for your patience.

@Ralgar, WriteofPassage has already stated several times that they are busy with their own personal life and you go all thanks and then a few days later you come to ask "is it done yet??are you updating yet??" and is not even the first time you do it. For some reason you keep coming just to poke the author demanding updates, and at this point you are starting to be rude. This story has always managed on a slow update schedule. This is not a paid job, this is a hobby and the author can post updates whenever they are able to or wish to do so. Just wait like the rest of us, and stop coming like a child on a road trip "are we there yet?are we there yet????"
Stop being annoying, respect the author, their time and their personal life. The update will come when it comes, so for once, please, pretty please with a cherry on top wait for it without complaining.

Thankyou for the update. It hasn’t been that long since u last updated, it’s just I have experienced to many great stories just die with not a word from their author.
I hope your national test went well. Life takes precedence after all.
So can’t wait to see what comes next after the girls chapters. There is still so much needing to happen, between the resistance and Zoey and the college friends. And of course poppy and the imprinting.
So yea this story is awesome and I can never get enough of it. I can’t wait to read it in its entirety and see all the foreshadowing.

Author's Response:
Thanks Ralgar,
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been studying for a huge national test (amongst other adult things), but I'm back to writing again! I've had to reread the story and return to my notes/outlines to refresh where I was (There's so many plot points in this damn story).
I don't want to give out any hard fast dates, but maybe next weekend? All I know is that I'm going to publish the chapter whenever I finish instead of waiting for the weekend like I usually do.
Thanks for your patience,
WOP
P.S
For my next story, I'll definitely write the majority of it first, so I don't have any hiatuses when life catches up with me.
