I had thought I already reviewed this one since it's on my favorites list, but I guess not. It's a very captivating story with a lot of personalities that were well fleshed out.

Now, as for being saved by Jesus, that is great. That's awesome. However, if one really follows the teachings of Jesus, one learns to accept others and their sins. Yes, one should try to eliminate or diminish their own sins, but I don't believe having lustful thoughts is a sin - it is merely being human. Now, if one is married and acts on such lustful thoughts, different thing entirely.

I will say, both my gf and I enjoy many of the variations of Giantess fantasies and by reading and discussing them, as well as writing, we've developed a pretty healthy love and friendship (she's my best friend besides being my lover). When we began dating, neither of us was aware of the other's giantess fetish. I will admit, some of the giantess themes can get pretty gross and perverse, and we do try to stay away from those.

Well, that's a huge letdown.

I really enjoyed this story when it was being updated. The premise of a group of kids learning about health and the body through interacting with their giant teacher was an A+ premise, and the early chapters which were just that were pretty good. Unfortunately it was sorely lacking when it came to the student characters.They were all shallow and interchangeable. The main problem is that they all had basically the same attitude when it came to giant girls, so when the point is seeing their interactions with said giant girls, they were all basically the same. Some gender variety would've gone a long way. I get that the plot requires them mostly be boys, but there still could have been some girls who inadvertently got involved, and they would've stood out and help the others stand out, and really opened up the story as far as what could be done with the characters. Still, they worked well enough as objects to be acted upon, and that really is enough when that's the whole point of the story.

The story really picked up with the first and what turned out to be only major arc, with them sneaking into the girls' locker room and the aftermath of that. It was great seeing how people treated them when they were considered disposable, and watching them realize that, and how in over their heads they were was fun and exciting, as was the danger and stakes. The weak characters start to become a real problem in this arc, as now that they've been separated, knowing who each of them are helps keep track of them, and when they're all basically the same, that's hard to do. I found myself asking "which one is this?", "how many were there originally?", and "didn't that one die?" way too often.

I wish the arc didn't resolve so neatly. Having them all live and be fine undercut the danger, as did returning to the status quo. It's easy to say that in hindsight, it should've ended after that arc, but even at the time, resetting everything seemed like a bad idea. I can't say I was enjoying the chapters that came after that arc nearly as much, but who knows, maybe it would've picked up and have been even better. Still, I do wish it had continued.

I'm torn on whether the final chapter is better than if it simply had never ended and we never got any sort of closure at all. From my limited perspective, I was predicting an impending burn-out and hiatus. The chapters were too long and too regular to be continued indefinitely, especially when it was seemingly the only piece the writer was working on, a recipe for writer's block and burn-out. Plus, the story teaser, chapter 18 was a really bad sign, since research shows that announcing your goal before you're done hurts your chances of completing them, so I wasn't surprised at all when updates stopped.

Chances were low for a continuation, but with this update, there's no longer any hope. Blaming it on being "born again" or whatever, is weird and not thoroughly convincing. It sounds like an excuse, considering apparently writing more would be sinful, but releasing more wouldn't? I imagine this actually happens pretty commonly, though not in such a dramatic fashion, where people move on and become ashamed or embarrassed by their old work, and that's why some writers delete all of their stories, but if that was the case here, I'd expect the story to be deleted, not updated with the writer's manuscript, like they're the Tolkien Estate publishing The Silmarillion posthumously. The main problem is that the formatting is so poor that it's hard to read, and that it's so clearly unfinished that I find it hard to imagine anyone would be satisfied with it.

Personally, I think I'd rather not have had the final chapter. It's poorly written and formatted. It's weird, self indulgent, self righteous, and preachy. The whole thing reeks of ego, and I'll never be able to fully separate that from the rest of the story.

Glad you came back this weekend again. I wish there was more perspective from when inside panties With more detail.

Author's Response:

I'm glad I came back too :) The smaller chapters are definitely more manageable. I feel like I've read this suggestion before lol. Noted and will continue to work on more detail. I'll be able to sort of make up for it in the next chapter. I think part of deliberately skipping some detail is I don't want to repeat myself too many times throughout the story. Being trapped in panties is great, but I also want to keep the story moving and not get caught up in similar scenarios every chapter. In this case though... agreed; more detail would've been good!

Hi aprilmj!

Glad to see you are keeping up with this story! I always anticipate your releases and am excited whenever a new chapter gets posted. For your 3 part chapter 10, I think I had the same issues others did, and even admittedly so by yourself. It was a big chapter with a lot of characters in it. I found it hard to follow along sometimes and develop a clear picture of what was happening. I felt like there may have been some inconsistencies that broke my immersion in it. I was wondering, like others, why the boys were seemingly unable to talk to the girls. It seemed like a quick conversation from them, letting the girls know that they were ms Johnsons students would have given the girls pause before doing what they did. I guess that wouldn’t help create drama though. I do appreciate the world building you are trying to accomplish.

For my money, your two best chapters so far were the female anatomy and bodily functions chapters. They were lighthearted, fun, playful, and educational vs the cruel, maliciousness of the most recent chapter. I think everybody in the giantess fetish has that inclination toward the crueler side, but there are thousands of stories like that already. One of the reasons I liked this story so much was the nicer, playfulness of it. I understand it wont always be like that but I do hope we get back to ms johnson goofing around and having fun with her students soon!

Speaking of those other chapters, I believe I remember you saying that ms johnson planned a trip to the gynecologist for a class, and that the bodily functions would come up on the midterms? Are those loose strings still in play? I’d love to see you explore those at some point!

I saw in one of the other reviews you said you have pictures of what the main characters look like! I know you said you don’t want to ruin others image of them, but I’d actually love to see what the creator himself (herself?) Has in mind for their appearance. I’ve actually had a hard time envisioning a face for ms johnson, so I’d love to see what you do when writing it!

I also saw you encouraging others to use your characters in stories! That’s nice to see, since while I wait for your new chapters to release, I’ve actually been motivated to write some chapters of my own, and add my own thoughts to some of your chapters. I wrote a chapter about detention for they boys after they got caught in the girls room. It’s how I get my fix while I wait for your new chapters to release lol. I’d love to share it with you if you want to read it. Maybe we can swap images of the characters for chapters over email if you don’t want to release the pictures publicly?

 

Anyways, thanks for continuing and I’m looking forward to what’s next



Author's Response:

I’m glad you’re just as excited about this story as I am! I definitely plan to keep going with it and really don’t have any reason to stop. I’ve really enjoyed writing it. I know there are long delays in between chapters and it bothers me probably as much as it does you, but it takes quite a while to write up each chapter and by the time I finish one, I find I need a few days in between the next to get my thoughts in order. I can usually average about 1,000 words an hour between thinking, typing, and editing. So each chapter takes at least 7 or 8 hours to write, but usually more by the time I get each chapter fleshed out before I write anything. So it’s about 12 hours per typical chapter. Then by the time I add in work, home stuff, and everything else, 12 hours can be hard to find haha. I kinda like the suspense of cliffhangers though. It’s one of the cruel things you get to do as a writer haha.


As for Chapter 10, it was a pretty big undertaking. In my mind, I could follow along since I can picture it all like a movie (it would be so much clearer as a movie lol), but I figured the biggest problem would be having all the characters interacting. As I think about it, the confusion almost represents the flurry of excitement the boys are experiencing haha. This connects to your next question in that I really wanted to create this chaotic scene that the boys were being thrust into. At first they think everything is going to be simple and that they’ll just get to see a few hot girls, but then by the end most of them are on the verge of death because of the sheer size difference between them. But I don’t want the girls to come across as sadistic or them trying to hurt the boys (except maybe one or two). The girls are really just having the time of their lives and the boys’ size mixed with the inexperience among the girls are what’s making it hard for them to survive. So why don’t the boys speak up and the girls stop and save them? I like to think of it in a few different ways. One is that the room is going crazy with excitement (girls are murmuring and laughing and carrying on) so it’s hard for the boys to even get a few words in. Plus the girls have interacted with a few tiny men in the past and they’ve never come across students before, so they’re treating them as disposables (silencing them instantly, and not believing a word they say). It’s like the girls have crossed a point of no return and no matter what the boys say or do will change their minds (like when you get the giggles as a kid and you can’t seem to make them stop so you just keep laughing). I hope that sort of makes sense. Really the girls just don’t believe it would be possible for these tiny men to be students so they don’t bother giving them the time of day to explain themselves. This chapter was also very short in terms of how much time passes. I went in with the mindset of only 10-15 minutes max have passed since the boys/girls entered the room. So considering everything that happened, they would’ve had to do those things super quickly, one after the other. Not a lot of time to dispute it.


Haha there will definitely be a lot more of Ms. Johnson. I figure that we’ve got at least another 40 chapters (plus some part 1’s, 2’s, etc) to go before there will be a logical endpoint. I guess that it’s actually been quite a number of weeks since we’ve really seen Ms. Johnson. The next chapter will definitely feel very similar to chapter 10 (and one more around chapter 14) but I think there’s gonna be a small stretch that will feel very similar to those past in-class lesson chapters. It’ll sort of be a mix all the way up until the end. I have a lot of really fun ideas where the boys are in virtually no danger at all, some where they’re completely alone in a world of giant women (sometimes totally unaware), and a few that are sort of like chapter 10 but probably toned down a little and more contained. We’re also approaching midterms too so I think those chapters (probably starting around chapter 20) could be pretty interesting. I think my scene where the boys are introduced to their midterm assignments is gonna be pretty awesome. I’ve built like 5 or 6 chapters around just that one idea haha. Maybe it’s only exciting to me, but I think it’ll be one of those simple but effective, “could you imagine” moments.


I can confirm that the boys will be visiting a gynecologist (actually not that far away now) as part of a field trip. Naturally Ms. Johnson has quite a few doctor friends from her time working on the tech, so I think that’ll be a pretty entertaining chapter. I have a few interesting ideas for that one but I’m still working on adding a little more meat to it. We had our class lesson on bodily functions so there probably won’t be another chapter that focuses on that entirely. I can confirm that there will be a number of chapters throughout the story that include bodily functions to some extent though (the next chapter for example). It’s one of those things that, as humans, is always there. So it’s an easy thing to bring in anywhere and explore in different ways. Whether it’s an unaware scene, a torture scene, or just a show of dominance, it’s all very interesting to me.


I actually found the perfect, real life model for Ms. Johnson (she actually is a teacher in real life) that I’ve based that character on! I’ve sort of had bits and pieces of this story in my mind for years, but when I found her everything just clicked. So in my mind, she’s probably the clearest character I have. I have pictures for everyone else but sometimes I sort of mesh two together or tweak small details (like eye colour). My method of storytelling is to find real life people to base your characters on. Maybe you know them personally or have just seen pictures and videos of them. I don’t usually change their first names either. I like to keep that immersion and really use the real life person as much as I can. I more than often twist their last names to give some uniqueness for my readers (or to hide their real identity), but that’s about it. Same goes for environments and rooms too. I try to pick somewhere that I’ve been before so I have a clear picture of where my characters are. If you want to send me a message on Discord (AprilMJ#7988) or by email (LittleLearningGTS@gmail.com) I could definitely share if you wanted to see.


That’s awesome that you’ve (and others!) been so inspired by my story that you’ve been adding to it yourself! I’d love to see what you have. I really wasn’t sure what to expect when I started writing and posting but the reaction I’ve gotten so far has been miles beyond anything I could’ve expected. I know where the feeling comes from though. I’ve read quite a few stories (and not even just GTS stories) and been like, “man, why didn’t the author include this or do that.” I think by the time this story is finished, we’ll have covered a lot of different scenarios and ideas. But like any story, there’s always room for more haha. I feel like this world that we’re building is filled with potential for different stories though. The “shrinking tech” is pretty cliche but after that I really like the idea of there being disposables, personal tiny people, and then just regular people in the world. There are so many possibilities with that. Not to mention being taught sex ed as a tiny person by a pretty attractive teacher lol. I think that could be any man’s dream haha. So I certainly don’t want to discourage the idea of anyone expanding on what I have because if you enjoy it, do it. It’s not like we’re all competing to become the world’s next greatest author haha. It’s all in the spirit of having fun and sharing ideas. 


I look forward to hearing from you again!

hope your doing well and cant wait for more. Also if i can suggest (dont take it as a complaint) when there is description of panty entrapment include more detail! cant wait for your return. 



Author's Response:

All is well here! Hope you're doing the same! It's been ridiculous how much has been happenig all at once. Nothing bad really, just a lot to get figured out in a short amount of time. There definitely won't be a new release this weekend but I'm really aiming to have one out by next weekend (April 17th or 18th). Good suggestion! I have quite the panty scene in mind that will probably be included in the next chapter but I may end up saving it for a future chapter. I'm thinking this next chapter is really gonna rock the ship... but hopefully in a good way if I can write it well. Thanks for checking in!!

I love the story so far, you do a great job with details. Personally I'd love a chapter dedicated to the teacher's nose and ears with students being inside them. And possibly a chapter of then exploring her asshole a bit. Anyways keep up the great work, whatever you decide to write I'll be sure to enjoy 



Author's Response:

Thanks very much for taking the time to leave a review! I'll definitely keep your suggestion in mind moving forward! I'm not sure if the boys will be small enough to go exploring any ears or noses in this story (we've been working with them at about an inch or so tall so far) but it could definitely be a real possibility in a sequel :) I do have a scene in mind that sort of involves the nose so you might find that one interesting. I don't think we'll be hitting that chapter for quite a while though. Stayed tuned for it though! Visting her bum again is also a very real possibility in this story. As we saw, Ms. Johnson isn't afraid to send tiny men to that area, though she is capable of doing it without losing them completely (hint hint). Glad to see you're enjoying the story and are along for the ride!

@safetypin,

I think they were playing volleyball, but in a gym. I also thought it was basketball at first until volleyball was mentioned once. Then the team name was Lakers so I thought it was basketball again. Then it was mentioned that Noah didn't want to be in Allison's bra because it would be bad if the girls dive on the floor which happens a lot on volleyball which made more sense to me for the rest of the chapter. Lol



Author's Response:

Yep, you're right! They were playing volleyball (indoors) tonight. Naming them the Lakers did make me wonder if that would cause some confusion (and apparently it did lol) but there are sooo many lakes around where I live in real life so it was a pretty fitting name haha. I don't watch much (if any) basketball so for me the name didn't really throw me off but for those who watch it as much as I watch hockey, I could see that being a little confusing lol. Thanks for being quick with the keyboard :)

I love the idea and concept of this story. The teacher/student dynamic is really good. When she shrinks them, they have no other choice than to trust her for their saftey, and she knows this. She also has a bit of a cruel side with her disposables that she has to keep at bay with her students. Shes there to educate them, but it seems she allows some sexual gratification for herself with them too. I'm wondering how long she will be able to balance that. Maybe a student annoys her and has to serve detention with her. Maybe she decides detention is best served in her butt? Who knows, you can go a lot of different ways with it. 

 

I loved the chapters where alexis swallowed a disposable and then showed the digested skull to them after just to remind them that at any point the could end up as nothing more that some girls poop if they're not careful. I wonder if maybe they'll get to explore or be taught about ms Johnsons digestive tract? I don't know how, but I feel like at least some of the students are going to end up swallowed by ms Johnson or somebody else at some point.

My only criticism would be to expand on the experiences the students have when interacting with ms Johnson and alexis' bodies. Maybe a bit more descriptive about what they see, smell, taste, and feel when they get stuck inside them, for instance.

 

Other than that, I think this is a wonderful story and will be following along with it, anticipating your (hopefully) weekly updates.



Author's Response:

Your first paragraph is nearly a perfect summary for what I was going for! I love that back-and-forth balancing act Ms. Johnson has between her school life and her home life. That's really what I was hoping to accomplish by introducing disposables. On one hand she has all these sweet, innocent students who really don't know anything about what she's telling them. But on the other hand she has access to these disposables who are the lowest of lows who nobody feels any remorse for. They're basically just little living playthings. And I know what you mean with there being so many different ways I could take the story! I have so many ideas for so many chapters but it's a game of making it all line up and flow like a legit story. I have this long movie playing in my head that I'm trying to do justice by putting it down into words. We'll see if it plays out in everyone else's mind like I imagined!

 

You're definitely on the right track with what I was thinking. I know the popular thing to do is to put tiny men in indestructible suits before being swallowed but it's actually pretty crazy just how violent things get in the stomach lol. Establishing the danger was very important though and that may end up being one of my favourite scenes :)

 

I honestly really appreciate the feedback and criticism! I'm definitely a student of the story game here so I'm hoping that by the time we get to chapter 50, my writing will be a lot better than it was in chapter 1! Great points though! Feel free to let me know in a chapter or two if we're still not quite there and I can improve even more (even though I know writing is something that you can never stop improving haha). Glad to have you along for the journey!

Wow, it’s a good sign if my fanfiction piece is similar to what you plan on writing in the future. Looks like I’m going to enjoy that chapter when it arrives. I just love how naughty and subtle Ms. Johnson’s flirtatious side is so it is easy to use for a lot of sexy chapters. Haha. 



I think another reason I chose Gatlin is because his gumball idea made him seem so innocent, so putting him through something so crazy and sexual would probably leave him speechless to a point where he couldn’t even talk his way out of his predicament. 

Wow, I forgot about that scene about how half the class was very vague with their experience with Alexis. I did find that odd and I assumed that they didn’t tell Noah anything because I thought they were too inexperienced to know what was going on. Hmm, I wonder if Alexis gave them a warning, or maybe she told them to keep it a secret from Noah because he is her next target. And maybe that’s why she picked Noah to put him on the pad. She was probably testing him so she could snatch him up later. Could be anything given how unpredictable Alexis is. 

For the Liam scene, I think by now you could tell from my reviews why I enjoyed that little scene with him even though it was mostly dialogue. He almost got to complete one of my fantasies if Ms. Johnson happened to take him home that night. Sometimes I wonder if Liam went to bed that night thinking “I was a sex toy for Alexis all day, and I was almost a sex toy for Ms. Johnson all night. That was a close one.”

Good point about Calvin’s brother. The two are close so stealing Calvin for some pleasure as a secret probably wouldn’t work. If I was in this class, I would be glad to be a secret little sex toy. ;)

As for communication if this website crashes, there’s a discord server for this website which I am a member of. I don’t use it often, but I check it out here and there. Also, I got an email listed on my bio on this website. Most of the time I communicate through reviews, but all methods work for me.

Author's Response:

Ah, finally getting a chance to sit down and respond to all the review. The last two weeks have been so busy with school. Hoping that this week is going to be a big week of writing!

 

Gatlin is a fun character indeed! I sort of picture him as being the kid who girls always liked because he's so sweet, kind, and innocent but he's not quite on their level yet. He doesn't even really know just how much he likes girls. He's just happy to hang out with Noah, play his video games, and worry about who's stealing all the gumballs. Midterms are going to be a wakeup call for Gatlin.

 

Let's just say Alexis can be persuasive lol. Even though she's always been kind and gentle with the boys, they still see the fierceness in her eyes and that's so intimidating to a young boy. Hot, but intimidating. And yep! That quick scene with Liam was pretty great haha. I do have a bit of a plan to bring that full circle... in a way. Almost full circle I guess you could say?

 

That's good to know there's a discord server! I'm not really familar with discord but I've heard of it. I still like this review method as well but it sounds like there are a few people who would rather share their thoughts and ideas through a more direct instant messaging program. So I'm still looking into what might work best on my end as an alternative (but not a substitute) to the review method. Thanks for the review as always!

Hello there! I don't know which function to use to mark this review as a one belonging to a specific chapter yet, since I'm new here, but I'll just mention that if I knew how, I would submit it as if it was for chapter 6.

 

I've been reading this story for a while now and I'm very impressed by detailed description of different things in this universe like how the shrinking technology was developing and put to use as a form of penalty for criminals. This also raises many questions. Is this technology used on female criminals, too? Are there any protests agaist this way of dealing with the convicts? Is there at least one country in the world that refuses to put it to use beacuse of devotion to the moral code coming from its culture and traditions? If it is, then how do other countries view its policy? Is there still a way to appeal against the recieved sentence? Is is still possible to get suspended sentence? If answer to the latter was "yes", then it would create an opportunity to create interesting story in the same universe. I personally like the idea of the story about a guy who got suspended penalty and struggles not to be wrongly accused of another crime and get through the time he has to correct himself as he is continuously put into situations in witch is is difficult to achieve this goal.

 

I also hope that Troy will survive in his current circumstances, because he's a very interesting character and it would be a real shame for him to die any other way than natural death when he gets old.

 

One way or another, I'm sure this story will get more interesting.

 

Have a nice day! :)



Author's Response:

I'm so glad you decided to leave me a review! And no worries about which chapter you leave the review on, I always try to answer all outstanding reviews prior to posting a new chapter. I absolutely love what you said and asked because as I've been writing and planning things, there have been sooo many moments where I've thought, "that would make an awesome spinoff, or that one, or that one!" As we build up the world, there are so many interesting perspectives that could be explored. I only wish I had an infinite amount of time to plan and write all of my ideas down haha! Anyways, onto your questions... I can confirm that yes, female criminals are also shrunk and dealt with like the males. In chapter 6 there is a reason Ms. Johnson was sent an entire box of males. One reason being that, because Ms. Johnson is a straight woman, naturally she finds playing with tiny men more fun. There is another (probably much more subtle reason that I'm hoping you won't be able to guess) reason though that we'll learn about later on in the story. The remaining questions you asked are much more complicated. I love these questions though because they challenge me to try and get them right! Really, these questions need their own story to fully answer and explore. I do want to answer these questions but I think I'm going to leave them sort of floating in the air and as the story moves along we might get a few natural hints that answer some of them. Depending on how soon I'm able to get to the end of this story (and we're still a long way off), I would really like to write spinoffs using this world. What I will say is that, yes, there is always someone at the other end of the technology who makes the decision to shrink someone. But it's quite a bit different than just walking up to someone in the street and shrinking them. Controlled is probably a good word to use here and you can probably make some assumptions off that. Like anything though, mistakes are definitely made. However, it often becomes challenging to appeal something when you're only an inch or two tall and you don't usually (if ever) know you're going to be shrunk as a criminal. You can only really assume that you will be, and that's only if you've actually heard that that's what happens. At this point in the world, there are a lot of grey areas. Who gets shrunk and who doesn't? What level of crime do you have to commit to be shrunk? Who actually knows about it and/or wants to put a stop to it? We'll sort of learn that people justify calling them disposables because as far as they know, they're horrible people. We sort of see this in the way Ms. Johnson speaks to them. Ms. Johnson isn't stupid though. Far from it. I take some inspiration from the death penalty and hanging that used to be done. Not because of the way people were killed but rather the motives behind doing it. Why did people even hang other people back in the day? Because they felt that was a worthy penalty for what they had done. Shrinking is sort of similar to that, with a little bit more. It's justifiable because people don't feel they're worthy to the world other than as tiny disposables. But then add on that governments wanted to free up jail space and save money. Then add on another level where the wealthy are willing to spend a lot of money on obtaining these tiny men because they're simply just plain fun. Justifying the existance of tiny disposables becomes easier and easier. At a point it becomes normal and they just blend into the world. That's sort of the beginning of everyone's motives, all of which have been scattered throughout the first 6 chapters. What point are we currently at? Well that requires either another story or a lot more chapters of this one :) I hope this sort of starts to answer your questions. I feel like I have answers to all your questions, but I really need to have them fleshed out in a story to be able to truly answer them and show what I mean. If you decide to leave another review in the future, please do let me know what you think of everything I just said! I'd love to be able to really chat this out and get your thoughts! I was really just thinking out loud in this response haha.

I also agree that Troy is an interesting character! I have a few different ideas for where I'm thinking his character could go, I'm just undecided on what path we'll pursue hehe. I'm not expecting him to become a main character in this story, but we will definitely see him again! Thanks for your review!

I love this story, I jump with joy each time its updated! Really great writing! I would love to see a bit of unaware in the future as well if thats possible?



Author's Response:

Awesome! I know that feeling of watiting for something to be released and then being super excited when it is. I'm glad that I've been able to incite that feeling as well! And oh yes, there will be plenty of unaware scenes by the time I've had my way with this story :) This story is shaping up to be 40+ chapters long and I have so many ideas for ways unaware scenes could be used! We got a small taste of it with that Ashley scene but we're going to see some more in the next chapter for sure. Then I have a few chapter ideas that follow this theme almost exclusively. Love the suggestion, thanks!

Great start. I really enjoyed how the feeling of needing to have a tiny person immediately came over them the moment they were presented with the opportunity. Looking forward to seeing how this one develops.
