Awww. I’ve always gravitated heavily to the gentle stuff, and these short exercises were no exception. I look forward to checking out some of your other work and I’d consider myself a new fan :D
I find it admirable when writers are tough on themselves and are willing to be vulnerable. But seriously, sometimes I just don’t get it. Take it from a guy who has little experience writing and struggles to find the right words: you make it look very easy. And from your attitude, I know that you’re only going to get better! Major props.
As far as the actual “fetish material” goes, you’re hitting the nail on the head, at least for me. I find comfort and consent sexy, and it appears I’m in the minority there, at least on this site or in the community in general. So, thanks dude. You made my day.

Good morning, Cinnamon Toast (excellent delicacy by the way, I'm getting the urge to have some now lol) I'm glad you enjoyed it. Little ideas pop in my head at work and I sometimes type them down if they get too complex.
I'm not sure if I'll ever get better, I've kind of just been writing the same way for years by this point. I don't see myself as a writer with much potential, I'm stuck in my ways. I'm critical of myself, and critiques long in the past have caused me to delete at least 5 stories (about 60,000 words with the longest chapter being 13000 words), and I also gravitate towards first person perspectives because I can't nail third person without it sounding wrong. I've decided I'll never delete another story I upload on here, but a lot of them don't even make the cut in my phone's drafts. At the end of the day, I think I just hate my own work because it always seems better in my head before I type it out.
I can't write a violent character for very long, they always seem to end up guilty or turn over a new leaf immediately within a chapter or two.
Eventually I'm afraid all of my characters will be too similar to each other, as well. I try to give them personalities, sometimes.
I can't seem to commit to large stories anymore (20k words or more are big for me) so I opted for more short stuff. And there's loads of other stories on here that blow my work out of the water. I love to read them, of course, but I end up feeling inadequate.
I think we may have similar tastes in giantess content, I love the power dynamic and having a powerful guardian take care of whomever.
Kind reviews like yours and others' do keep me going. I hope you have a fantastic day. I have moments where I'll upload a bit and then stop for a year or so. But I always check for reviews once or twice a month because they mean a lot to me. I don't even text my friends this much, (*a103;*;)
Also, I'm sad to hear that you're not quite happy with your own writing style, but by leaving a review, you activate a small butterfly effect and encourage your favorite writers to eventually keep making stories. You and others like you are the fuel for it. I wouldn't upload near as much (even though I'm very infrequent already) if that weren't the case. So, thank you again. Please take care.

Really like what you've done here, and we should all be doing such writing exercizes.
I dunno if you're looking for constructive feedback, but here's a small suggestion that might clean up some of the prose (not that my prose is worth a damn, haha). You've got some duplicative phrasing, such as "Alexis was the first one to speak, between the two of us." The second clause isn't necessary since it's already implied that there are two participants in the conversation and only one of them can speak first.
A little more obvious is a sentence like "Her forehead was beginning to perspire. She was starting to sweat." It's the same concept, just restated. Sometimes this is good for stylistic purposes, but usually it's better just to convey an idea clearly and singly.
Anyway! I don't want that to sound discouraging! Just wanted to offer a little editing tip. Happy writing!
Best,
J

Naw it's not discouraging. I mean it might have been discouraging in the past but not now. I'm just happy when someone leaves a review. I agree, I think I was trying to be stylistic but it just kind of makes me sound like a rambling preacher at a church or something lol.
I can't decide whether I want to lean with first person or third person perspectives. But anyway I'm happy you left a review and some advice. Thank you
