Date: May 24 2023 Title: Chapter 7: Mall Rats

Yeah, your smut in this story has been pretty impressive both in quality and quantity up until this point, so I think you can be forgiven for taking one chapter to focus on plot/action. Besides, a little delayed gratification every now and then can be a good thing, and it has been a while since we've seen Barb and John have some fun together, so I'm willing to bet the payoff for that is going to be pretty rewarding.

I know Barb coming out of her shell and kind of follow a Shaun of the Dead-type theme has been mentioned several times by now, but God damn! Seeing how far she's come since the first chapter (or even just a few chapters ago) is so satisfying. In particular, her excitement and fun-loving approach in this chapter is a beautiful contrast to the timid, frightened demeanor of almost every other character not named John.

Seriously, seeing Celia panic and abandon her crew, the escaping cheerleaders crying that they just want to go home, Rhames starting to lose his cool that John is dragging his feet, and even Cassie and Peter (who are with Barb, of course) being timid to the whole plan makes Barb hooting and yelling excitedly as she blows up part of the mall and tries to gun down her arch nemesis that much more fun to read.

Aside from that enthusiasm, however, it's even more satisfying that Barb has and is executing a rescue plan at all. The last time we saw John and her together, she was lamenting that she wasn't the person who comes up with plans or knows what to do, and now she seems like the only one with a plan in all the chaos. It's amazing what her time with John (and the prospect of losing him) has done for her.

Oh, and the plan itself, badass! I think anyone not named Hank Hill would appreciate that use of propane.

As for John, I haven't really focused on his development as much, as it's been a bit more subtle, I think (I mean, Barb is the NEET from the story name, so we instantly know more about her background than about Johns, so it's easier to track her development). But the past two chapters have really shown how John has grown throughout the story. Seeing John hold not only Rhames but a group of giants over a barrel to rescue the other tinies and wait for Barb shows some guts that I'm not sure he had in chapter 1. Also, I was actually taken by surprise when he knocked Rhames out, as I didn't think he had it in him (and he was even smart enough to deter Rhames from experimenting with the wiring once he wakes up).

The story kind of focused a bit more on Cassie and Peter for the past few chapters (which wasn't a bad thing) but it was great to see our two main characters step up and take back the spotlight.

Once again, I absolutely love how Celia goes from rageful bitch to perky cheerleader at the drop of a hat. It hasn't lost its eeriness at all, and it hasn't been overdone in the story either. And to see our cheer captain lose her cool and run away once she lost control of the situation is perfect. It's the first time we've seen her in a situation that she can't authority her way out of, and shutting down and panicking shows that while she had some traits that allowed her to lead for a time, she was never a true leader.

It was nice to see Peter be able to defend Cassie there at the end. I didn't mention it last chapter, but the way he was directing Cassie and Barb during the escape from the mall parking lot was great, too. It's good to see him be able to contribute after having to lay low and deal with Celia's shit for so long. It highlights him as part of the team, as opposed to being a glorified mascot.

I also liked seeing the escaping cheerleaders showing some humanity but still struggling to overcome Celia's programing. Tammy, who we saw be kind of nice during her introduction to the story, stopping her fellow cheerleader from using her gun to exert authority over the mall worker was a nice touch. Of course, much like when she told Monica to leave the tinies alone, she had an excuse, but I get the feeling that deep down, she actually does have a decent sense of right and wrong (otherwise she wouldn't step in so often with said excuses). Also, it didn't take much to convince her to go get the tinies they had forgotten. But maybe I'm reading too much into a minor character here. 

And I don't think I ever expected to see Kevin Smith and Gilgamesh references in the same chapter of a story (or the same story at all, for that matter) but both were appreciated!



Author's Response:

Yeah the world has kind of gone upside down in this chapter, our normally cool and collected characters are panicking as the situation deteriorates and Barb is the one driving things and tearing down the metaphorical, and literal, walls. Barb's plan obviously isn't the most sophisticated one in the world, but it gets the job done. I know you said you didn't care for the Dawn of the Dead remake, but the scene in that one with the propane explosion and the rippling wave of zombies was definitely an inspiration here.

John and Barb are both going all in on each other at the end here, obviously this means both are a lot braver than they'd normally be. Barb has grown into a badass apocalypse survivor, obviously John can't just rest on his laurels and let her do all the work!

Celia is obviously following the trajectory of many zombie movie villains in her descent into madness. She had the brutality, the organization, and the lust for power to pull her people through the apocalypse, but like you said she was never a real leader, she was using everyone around her and was ready to throw them all away to buy herself a little more time.

Peter has come a ways too, he's not exactly storm the trenches brave, but he's resilient and it was him that "saved" Cassie from Celia's influence. Personally in these stories I like it when the tiny guys have bigger roles in the plot, hence John and Peter being relatively involved despite being pocket sized.

Tammy is, like Cassie, one of the people who was questioning things, she'd probably have been the next to take a trip to the parking garage with Celia had the mall group remained for much longer. At this point the shock to the system has got them all, even the ones who sided with Celia, starting to realize just how insane their whole situation has become. The added pressure of a massive zombie horde and the potential for a gunfight probably helps drive the point home. As for the tinies Tammy probably really did just forget about them in the chaos and would have probably hated herself for it if they'd gotten away without them.

Date: May 18 2023 Title: Chapter 6: Return of the Living NEET

This chapter drew a couple of interesting (and maybe weird) parallels in my head.

First, that carrot and stick bit from Celia had some damn near biblical vibes, like some Jesus in the desert shit (an odd comparison to make regarding a fetish story, I know). I don't know, maybe it was how hollow what she was offering John truly was, maybe it was her desperation that comes through in that moment, or maybe it was something about that last line, "All these things I can give to you," but that's where my mind went as I read that part. In any case, Celia makes for a fantastic devil.

The other odd comparison I thought of was when John admitted he loved Barb and rejected Celia, as that "moment of calm clarity" reminded me a bit of the "rebirth" scene from V for Vendetta (both the book and the movie, as that was one of the few scenes that I thought they nailed in the movie adaptation). John yelling "YES!" when he knew what Celia would do to him was very much a "Thank you, but I'd rather die behind the chemical sheds" moment. He realized what was truly important to him, and he refused to let Celia take that last inch from him. It was a powerful moment.

Backtracking just a bit, I also really liked Celia's method for trying to break John's resistance. "Just ask me nicely, just ask me not to drop you ..." On the surface, it seems like it wouldn't be a big deal. But making him accept her help, even if she was the one threatening him at the same time, that's some hardcore psychological shit. It almost would have been better for John if she had made him call her goddess or something. Instead, he had to acknowledge that he needed her, even if it's just to protect him from herself. That's a fucking power play! It also set up the "sweeter" part of the pitch to John as well.

Oh, and throwing in that nickname, Johnny, in the middle of it just gave the whole thing a more personal, intimate feel.

Also, that whole thing made it pretty clear how much Celia needs someone to accept her and/or how little she thinks of most of the rest of the people in the mall. I mean, Cassie kind of did before Celia tried to kill her, and Peter pretending to do so seemed to placate the cheer captain, but it's almost like the blind obedience of everyone else doesn't matter to her. Maybe it's John's resistance against her or maybe it's her just trying to take what Barb had (Bullying 101), but she was really trying HARD to win John over.

Rhames showing off both his brawn and his brain was a nice touch, too. He kicked the shit out of John and killed a giant zombie, but it was his logic that broke John down. It was over as soon as John said everyone deserved to die, which he obviously didn't mean/ hadn't thought through. Rhames' reasoning for following someone like Celia was solid, too, and it also gave us a bit of insight into the darker side of how this world worked before the apocalypse.

And I wondered earlier in the story which side he would take when the shit hit the fan. I should have known from that start that Rhames plays for Rhames' side only.

I was wondering how Barb and Cassie were going to try to win over the cheer squad, and the radio bit was fun. Yeah, they lost the element of surprise by doing that, but I think the numbers game would have caught up with them pretty quickly otherwise. And Barb letting all of them know that she was willing to kill for John was intense, and, as I was talking about parallels above, that lined up with John being willing to die to stay loyal to her quite well.

I'm both excited and a little bummed that we're approaching the climax. Of course, if I get lost along the way, I can always ask Cassie for directions. She's been getting there for most of the story.



Author's Response:

The biblical allegory is very much intentional, the last temptation of John as it were lol. Celia, like the Devil with Jesus, is ultimately offering something very hollow, the kingdoms of the earth in all their glory, which I think ties into what George Romero himself was trying to say with the characters and the mall back in Dawn of the Dead. "What have we done to ourselves?" Fran asks. Similarly their makeshift family is ultimately destroyed fighting over material possessions neither they nor the bikers can use. "All these things I can give to you," and none of them are worth anything to a person who sees them for what they are, as John does, as any person who makes it that far in the zombie apocalypse does. I feel like thees themes of materialism and consumerism are inherent to any apocalypse story, zombies or not, and from the beginning I had an odd temptation of Christ scene in mind. Is this going too deep for a silly fetish story? Probably, but even with all the deep thoughts we're all having fun and that's what really counts here, right?

Celia's final sexual temptation was, as you said, meant to be a final rejection of sorts, it actually takes Celia's temptation to push John into the realization that he loves Barb.

Also like you said Celia needs someone to accept her as an absolute goddess, even with all the power and wealth she has in the apocalypse, even being queen of the world, it isn't enough. John is a very present and poignant reminder of something she can't just HAVE, and it drives her to near insanity.

Rhames is a different sort of foe, like you said he's the very soul of brutal pragmatism. In a different time, a different place, he'd be the hero of this story.

Barb's announcement on the radio, that she's willing to kill, is 100% meant to be a parallel to John's own journey, that he's willing to die for her.

Yes the ending is coming, but I think you'll enjoy it.

Date: April 26 2023 Title: Chapter 1: They're Coming to Get You Barbara!

Barb did a double take, the corpse of Mrs. Smythe, her old landlady, was dead in front of her

I'm not really much of a pun person, but this one … this one got me. Well done!

Also, Night of the Living Dead, Zombieland, AND Metal Gear Solid references all in the same chapter? What?! That Zombieland one was brutal, too.

And right off the bat, this chapter shows that Peter's concerns about Celia's leadership from chapter two (the ones about food, power, and water) are legitimate. Even though those particular issues don't come up, the way she handles the new arrivals has me convinced that the mall group won't last more than a couple weeks with her in charge. She made absolutely no effort to evaluate the skillsets of anyone she brought in to see what they can contribute. Of course, almost all of the tinies are all relegated to nail work, while her fellow giants are forced to show team spirit or face the unbearable punishment of mall employment.

That's not a complaint, mind you. It makes sense that she's not practical, and her introduction to the new arrivals showed off her bubbly demeanor and delusion while giving the new West State University Cheerleading recruits a peak at her dark side. I'm still really loving her as a villain.

I'm also interested to see how things shake out with Rhames. I don't think we have enough information to see which side he ends up taking (once there are sides to take). There seems to be a sense of respect between Celia and him, and if he thinks she's his best chance of survival, I could see him going her way (based on what little we know about him so far).

The banter between Barb and John continues to be charming and fun. Also, in Barb's defense about Leon, if you look at the history of Resident Evil, groups typically don't do very well. You usually only end up with one or two people left anyway. The president was probably just trying to save some time!

But it's still really endearing to see how tight the two main characters have become in such a short amount of time. Chapter one Barb certainly wouldn't have been confident enough to be so assertive (and she also likely would have been worried that John might misread her playfulness for actual coercion), and I think John would have found that assertiveness less sexy and more terrifying early on.

That little heart-to-heart they had was nice as well. It's kind of sad that Barb sees herself as a loser, but that just makes her building herself up through John that much more satisfying at the same time. And it's nice to see that she's having the same effect on him as well.

But most impressive is that their progression just feels natural. Compliment each other, indeed. If your other stuff has character development this good, I really need to check them out!

The forklift plan worked a lot better than I thought it would. It continued to show why Barb is such a fun protagonist, too. And while Mrs. Smythe may not exactly be a Bub analog, she comes pretty close in her brief time in this chapter. I wonder how her Aunt Alicia is doing?

I have to admit, I was a little surprised at how fast Celia came to rescue there at the end of the chapter. When Cassie went out to save Barb, I thought she was either going to find herself locked out and forced to find another place to escape to or be made to sweat it out until the last possible second. At first, I thought maybe Celia did it because it would be a bad look to let one of their own die in front of the rest of the cheerleaders. Then I thought maybe it was some weird parallel between Celia and the zombies, as in much like how Mrs. Smythe still craves rent, the cheer captain warlord still maintains the same loyalty she had for squadmates in the old world.

And then, once they were inside, Celia darkly reminded Cassie to call her by her title instead of her name, and something clicked for me. I think I had previously underestimated how much Celia actually likes Cassie.

I hadn't realized until that point that Celia had let Cassie get away with calling her by her name while on duty during their conversation on the roof (I know Cassie called her Celia in the last chapter as well, but I figured that Cassie was off duty since she was getting her nails done). It also seemed as though Celia was almost trying to make an effort to suppress her anger when Cassie called her out about Peter, and it was like Celia was trying to convince her to see things her way, which is vastly different from the treatment nameless cheerleader received for suggesting they try to contact other people in chapter one.

I'm starting to think that Celia sees Cassie as an actual friend (or as close to a friend as someone like Celia can actually have) rather than just a subordinate. She even shortened her name to Cass once, which gave that conversation a more personal feel than any other we've seen from Celia so far.

If Celia does feel that way, this probably doesn't bode well for Peter. Between Cassie standing up for him and those glances they shared (which I'm sure Celia could plainly see), he may make the unpleasant transition in Celia's eyes from crush and source of entertainment to bad influence pretty quickly.

Or I could be reading way too much into all this. Either way, it'll be interesting to see how the relationship between the two girls plays out going forward.

And finally, the long awaited (three whole chapters) confrontation between Barb and her former bully. It was nice to see John sticking up for Barb, but hopefully they've seen enough to realize that they may not want to let Celia know how close they've gotten. Otherwise, the mall might be offering a two-for-one bullying special, as abusing John would surely get to Barb as well.

Then again, this could be a good chance to find out if Barb's newfound confidence has staying power or if she reverts back to her self-defeating attitude as she has to endure who knows what from her old enemy.

I wonder if will Barb get to go through tryouts or if she'll be immediately relegated to mall worker (or something worse).



Author's Response:

Your reviews are always a treat to read. Yeah Celia certainly has strengths as a leader, she's got a loyal and well disciplined group and she's also ruthless and quick thinking, the problem is she's also going off the deep end and thinks the cheer squad is a great model for a new society.

Barb and John haven't had much time together, but life and death situations and the bluntness of the zombie apocalypse speed along those relationships you might say. Personally I like giant and tiny characters that compliment each other in some way, I'm not sure what, if any, of my other stories you've read but I do try to show character and relationship arcs over the story. A lot of people think my story One Year Lease is pretty good on this, and if you review any of my other stories I'd love to hear thoughts about them!

Rhames is a reference to Ving Rhames' Dawn of the Dead character. He's obviously not loyal enough to his fellow tinies to try to help them out too much, he and Celia have a weird respect thing because they recognize that they both have to be somewhat harsh to get respect in this world, Celia might be "big" relative to the tiny characters, but she's still a pretty cheerleader, like Rhames said she'd have to understand certain things to be able to be in charge in this world.

On Celia and Cassie yes Celia and Cassie are close, or were before the end of the world, and it reflects in how Cassie is able to talk with her more informally than the other cheerleaders get to. Cassie's breaking point in this chapter was actually a High School of the Dead homage of sorts, Celia's rescue is both because she can't be seen to abandon one of her own and like you said Cassie is a friend, although how long that will last is now very much up in the air.

Obviously nothing good awaits our heroes in the mall under Celia's rule, Barb's grown up a bit, but Celia's also not the same preppy bully she was either.

Date: April 21 2023 Title: Chapter 2: Hell's Full

Man, I'm really into this!

That action sequence at the start of the chapter was really good! It really felt like a scene out of an actual zombie movie, yet Barb's enthusiastic attitude and the humor mixed in with the well placed tension gave it a bit of a unique feel at the same time. Plus, this is probably the first zombie movie that has it's main heroine hopscotching tiny zombies, or hopscotching at all, for that matter.

I think that Barb grabbing John too tight during and immediately after that close call with the zombie horde was a nice touch. It both conveys the stress and tension of the situation and provides a casual display of the size difference between them quite well.

I'm also really liking how quickly the bond between Barb and John is forming. Not only are the life-and-death situation and reliance they have on one another contributing to that, but it's endearing to see how John's words are reshaping how Barb views herself. He gave her that shot of confidence she needed to buy just a little more time when he was trying to get the door open, and now she's starting to see herself as the sexy badass that she never realized she was (and John's benefitting from that realization).

Also, am I the only one that found it funny that Barb motivated herself for that "knife fight" by referencing the one Resident Evil game that DOESN'T have zombies in it?

Now, I'm going to take it easy on Barb, because I'm, like, 85 percent sure this is her first zombie apocalypse, but she should really do a quick look-around when entering a new place before taking off clothes and revealing more bitable flesh. You never know where those pesky zeds are hiding, after all.

That being said, the tit-fucking bit that followed was tremendously well done! It really hit home just how easily Barb's slightest movements can absolutely dominate John. Her teasing is pretty cute, too.

Back at the mall, Celia continues to be set up as an intriguing, dark villain. Her perspective on why the zombies exist really gives insight into how she can treat other people the way she does. That shot she took was expertly described as well. I could see that scene play out in my mind in late '70s film style.

I was wondering if there would be a cheerleader not totally onboard with their cheer captain's way of doing things, and I really like the way that Cassie is being set up. On some level, she knows this whole thing is wrong, but she's convinced herself otherwise because she believes things need to be this way to survive and that Celia is still her friend. Her interaction with Peter was pretty heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time, and it was nice to see that he could speak honestly with her, if a bit harsh, and still be treated with respect.

Of course, while having an ally is nice, I don't think there's much Cassie can do for Peter right now anyway. If she tries to stick up for him, she might end up next to her old cheer coach, although I don't think she realizes that just yet.

It was also interesting to see that the zombies seem to be retaining some of their old habits (memories doesn't quite seem to fit here), what with them not crushing the tiny zombies and all. Between that and the knife-wielding zombie outside of the warehouse, the next thing you know, they'll be listening to Ode to Joy and shooting guns.

The tryouts also seem like they'll be pretty interesting. How exactly does one show that they're "cheerleader material" in this new world? Also, Celia is way too excited to be adding people to their group. Maybe she thinks she's playing by Walking Dead rules instead of Romero's?

I apologize for how long this is, by the way. There was just a lot that stuck out to me this chapter.



Author's Response:

First off I'll say I love long reviews and I often find myself coming back and reading them over and over, they always bring a smile to my face, so thanks.

Anyways in Barb's defense on the knife count I don't think I ever used the knife in RE2, but in RE4 it was like half of what I used lol. Also yes Barb probably shouldn't have immediately taken off her combat gear once she reached "safety," it seems like there's always at least one zombie locked in a closet or something. Luckily for Barb she's not just in a zombie movie she's also in a fetish smut piece, so she's got rule of sexy on her side against rule of zombie movies.

I'm glad you're enjoying the development of the character's relationship, not sure how many of my other stories (if any) you've read but I always like the idea that a giant and a tiny compliment each other, and while zombie stories are generally pretty bleak these two can bring a little joy to one another's lives even in the face of all of this horror. Barb has obviously spent a lot of her life with pretty low self esteem, there's a bit of a Shaun of the Dead element here where it takes the end of the world for her to break out of her rut, and John is a big part of that.

Also I'm glad you liked the Celia scenes, she's a fun villain to write and when I was writing that scene with her shot I was also picturing it in 1970s style cinematography haha. I tried to write a scene that could have come right out of the original Dawn of the Dead, complete with the cryptic theory on how it's all happening. Cassie obviously doesn't realize just how far gone Cheer Captain Rhodes is, most of the cheerleaders probably don't. I'm guessing if you reference Ode to Joy and shooting guns for your zombies you recognize her namesake lol.

As far as our zombies go I'm trying to channel the Romero zombies mostly, there's a weird mix of instinct, memory, and something else unique to them. The tiny zombies and the giant zombies clearly know they're on the same team, do their living counterparts? That remains to be seen. Not sure this story will have a Bub analog, but generally speaking I like the way Romero's zombies are sometimes almost human, it makes them creepier imo, a physical and a mental uncanny valley effect coming together.

"Yeah, they're dead. They're all messed up."

First and foremost, I love the chapter name!

But yeah, this is a really good idea. I don't believe I've ever heard of, let alone read, a giantess zombie apocalypse story. This theme has so much potential, and you've already tapped into some of it with the tiny zombies being such a problem for the giant side of town. Multi-sized zombies is definitely something new to the zombie genre.

Barbara and Johnny, err, John are a fun pair of main characters to follow. John is a furnace of ambition, which contrasts really well with Barb's NEETness. I also really like how the size disparity between the two weighs on them both a bit in the early goings of the story. I mean, it makes sense that John is going to be nervous in the presence of a giant (especially when he watched her flatten several him-sized zombies in a single step), but it was interesting to see Barb's concern that her size might intimidate him when she was propositioning him. I think that says a lot about her.

Of course, thankfully, they both needed a good fuck, so it didn't end up being an issue, but it was still nice to have some insight into her thought process.

Oh, and if Barb was so concerned about John turning, she probably shouldn't have put him in her boobs before the bite check. Of course, she's a NEET, not a survival expert, and there were obviously an ulterior motive to the check itself, but that's the kind of mistake that can get you undead in the dual-sized zombie apocalypse.

I'm also really loving the zombie genre references that are littered in the story so far. I agree with Barb that groups generally don't do well in these situations, and I would think that the fact that they're next destination is a mall would bring up some red flags for her, too. Although it's good that the cheerleaders have already run the bikers out of the mall; they're not so good to have around in a zombie apocalypse, especially in a mall.

And Cheer Captain Rhodes has become a really compelling villain in a very short amount of time. Her need for absolute authority, even if it means zombifying her coach and refusing to even try to find a means of escape; her casual domination of her tiny crush; and her special blend of sadism and bubbliness are all intriguing. It's both creepy and kind of hot how quickly she can go from angry or serious to stereotypical cheerleader demeanor. Her power trip even has her making her fellow cheerleaders dressing up as cheer soldiers; how cute (and fucked up) is that?

Overall, this a great start, and I really look forward to where this goes. Also, I hope that Barb doesn't get a shitty camera angle when she reaches the next screen at the end of the hall.



Author's Response:

Glad you're enjoying it so far, yeah I was thinking about all the genre mashups I've seen on this site and I thought a zombie apocalypse thing might be kind of fun lol. Also it adds a new element, like tinies can't just fortify themselves because a giant zombie can come along and tear everything up like Attack on Titan, giants have tiny zombies that can get in just about anywhere. Also yeah there are a ton of references in this one, and Barb should probably know better than to head to the mall lol. We'll see more of Cheer Captain Rhodes and her squad, don't worry about that.

Also as far as Barb and the bite check, we're going loosely by Romero rules here so you've probably got a couple days post bite before you turn, a person who is looking relatively lively probably isn't in imminent danger of going undead... then again you're right, not a risk worth taking to most lol.

Date: May 13 2023 Title: Chapter 5: Getting a Pint Until the Whole Thing Blows Over

Man, I know you've expressed your appreciation for Shaun of the Dead a few times now, but you really came hard with the references in this chapter! I respect it, though, especially that Winchester hanging above the bar, given that the bar's name was a more ... meta reference.

I'm also really digging the whole self-fulfilling prophecy arc this story has taken. Celia had to try to kill Cassie so that she wouldn't turn her cheer squad against her, so now Cassie is going to turn Celia's cheer squad against her. How very Greek.

I also also love Celia's villain logic when Cassie pulled the trigger to the unloaded rifle: You were going to shoot me after I was about to shoot you for no reason, so now I'm totally justified to shoot you for real! Also, the fact that even after Cassie pulled the trigger, Celia still felt she owed her former friend a clean shot to the head was something I found interesting. I said early on that I thought Celia was setting up to be an intriguing villain, and she certainly hasn't disappointed! She's complicated but still pure evil, a combination you don't see a lot of these days.

The escape from the parking garage was also a joy to read. I feel like the action descriptions in this story has been pretty good the start. They're not overly complicated or description heavy, yet really easy to picture. Also, "seeing" Barb kick ass with a samurai sword was pretty badass, and I figured Cassie and she would bond over anime at some point, and that scene was close enough for me to claim that I was right.

Also, it's kind of a small thing, but I was happy that Barb made the realization that she wasn't "even that fat." Words from bullies can do a lot to shape your self-image, and that quick thought shows that her growth as a person during all of this has helped her overcome that.

I'm curious to see how John handles being in Peter's old spot. He's shown a lot more resistance than Peter showed at the start of the story, but how much of that is fueled by grief and anger about Barb's supposed passing and how much of it is just pure stubbornness? It didn't take much for Peter to cave when Celia started tormenting him, but I think that was more smart than pathetic. That strategy contrasts nicely with John's fuck you attitude, although it looks like he may not have to put up with Celia's shit for as long as Peter did.

It'll also be interesting to see what Rhames' response to John's refusal to work on the tram (and Celia's approach to get him to change his mind) will be. He's got much more of a sense of urgency about getting the subway going than Celia does, so he might not be so keen on waiting until John's "broken in."

I mentioned this a bit in my review of the previous chapter, but the Cassie/Peter interactions are really stealing the show! It's not just the smut, but the psychology behind it that really helps these scenes stand out. In particular, it's intriguing to consider how much intention and personal feelings can shift how things are taken by another person. I mean, the idea of being under Cassie's toes, in her cleavage, or in her underwear seemed great to Peter last chapter, despite Celia having done all of those things to him to torment him earlier in the story. But because Cassie cares about and respect him, those terrible things now don't seem so terrible anymore.

And that difference was really driven home in this chapter. Between Cassie dangling Peter in her fingers (Celia really seemed to enjoy dangling and swaying him) and him having to suggest Celia's method of lubing him up to enter the back door (he even didn't mind her spit!), the comparison between how the two cheerleaders handle him and the different way he reacts to each really stands out to me.

And all of that adds something special to their time together. The subtle way in which this is done is really well done, too!

I'm super happy Mrs. Smythe finally got her rent money. If only Barb could have robbed more bars before the end of the world! 

Lastly, I absolutely love that Barb's response to being told she has "major good guy energy" is a (slightly modified) Bruce Campbell quote.



Author's Response:

As always a lot of bases to cover!

Celia has her own twisted and self serving morality, while she has some affection for Cassie and Peter and is obviously ready to kill them she wanted to make it relatively painless. The Old Yeller comparison she makes is deliberate, in her way this isn't executing her enemies it's putting down a rabid pet, something she loved at one point but is now ready to part with.

Peter played along with Celia's torture but obviously, even as terrified of her as he is, he never really broke. Like you said it's not exactly brave, but Peter took a pragmatic approach that ultimately paid off for him. John's stricken with grief and is more angry and sad than he is afraid, for now anyway. He also probably won't be Celia's pet tiny for nearly as long as Peter had to, also he has an advantage over Peter in that he has something Celia wants, namely the ability to fix that tram.

Glad you're enjoying Peter and Cassie's relationship. You might say that consent makes a big difference in how much a tiny guy enjoys certain acts.

Some other other odds and ends, we'll see more of Rhames next chapter, he definitely wants out of the city more than Celia does.

Barb has definitely gotten a confidence boost, she's ready to become the hero the apocalypse needs.

Under the Table: An Office Shrinkeractive by tecks Rated: PG starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 35]
Summary:

UPDATED:

Okay so this massive interactive shrinking adventure book is now complete! It's available on my Patreon in eBook format (https://www.patreon.com/rbashton), 01/08/23, and from all major retailers (https://books2read.com/u/4EpAXY) in eBook and paperback.

***Also I posted the wrong link in my earlier posts, and appreciate a bunch of people might've got the book for free. Which is a big downer for me if you intended to buy it. Please consider a purchase if you did; a lot of work went into this!***

I thought it'd be fun to share parts as a live group read. We did one read-through on my Patreon (they made it 8 chapters before dying), and a first read-through here (5 chapters before a handcrush!) – so now I'm starting a second read-through.

What I'll do is put up a chapter and you can vote for the choice at the end by commenting. I'll tally the votes next time I get around to adding a chapter, and we'll get a complete story arc. (If I don't get any votes, eventually I'll just choose one!)

But a bit of background:

You’ve been shrunk in the office by you’re ambitious manager, and it’s up to you to escape her evil clutches. In the complete story, you have to make the right choices to navigate a whooping 215 chapter entries (which average about 400-800 words a piece), clocking in at 105,000 words total. Mostly you have two options after each entry, but naturally this branches and branches into all sorts of possibilities – in some places you’ll have minor variations on similar themes, but in other cases your journey can go in wildly different directions. The common threat, though, is your giant coworkers, either willingly or obliviously capable of killing you in an instant. There’s 90 different ways to end the story badly (mostly by dying!) and only 1 correct solution.

This is a literary maze of epic proportions, where it’s possible to see every major character treated as a giant or shrunken, with tons of grabbing, a bit of crushing, and a great many ways to get eaten. We’ve got arcs such as cat-and-mouse chases with your manager; perilous creeping through the bustling open office; encounters with a dangerously beautiful coworker, a mad scientist, the rough-handed cleaner and more; and even possibilities to get out of the office into the terrible clutches of your boss’s family. All this comes in the pursuit in enlisting your one true friend’s help in restoring your size.

It’s all written in an ungendered second person, so can be read as you playing yourself, or your choice of imagining a male or female protagonist. And while this office is principally populated by seemingly giant women, there’s also a couple of men in there if you want something a little different (or if you don’t, to add some extra threat!).

I just got caught up with round 2 here. I see we have an A and a C for the latest chapter. Unfortunately, I'm voting for B. Daniela is clearly an ally (and we definitely need one of those),, but I think going for the shrink ray is a bit too ambitious. I say we make a run for it before something goes wrong and Daniela ends up as tiny as us.

Hopefully a fourth vote will come in and break the three-way tie.

Okay, so Eva's saying no one will miss us and that this is a "worthwhile sacrifice," and Arnold's first reaction was to mention that she didn't get approval instead of being concerned that we're clearly being mistreated. I was cool to let things ride until there was a reason to do otherwise, and I think that reason has presented itself.

I'm going with C. Staying with Eva is definitely going to end with us dead, and I'm getting a "clean up this mess before it makes the company look bad" vibe from Arnold. We have to gamble and try to find someone new to help us.

Well, trying to stay on Eva's good side (or at least away from her bad side) hasn't led to any immediate negative consequences, and that smile could be interpreted as a positive reaction to our obedience (we have to stay positive here), I think we should ride this out a bit longer. Also, the prospect of being seen by another person, one maybe not as spiteful as Eva, seems like a better idea than leaving our fate entirely in this woman's hands.

With that in mind, I'm voting for A.

Reviewer: It Was Me Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: May 25 2023 Title: Chapter 2: 2

In that case, as much as I'd like to tie things up and make it interesting, I think I have to go with A here.

Also, I can't blame you for having predetermined routes planned for each option, and that doesn't make this less interesting, but if you're willing to incorporate some of our rationale somewhere down the line, that would be awesome! I do understand that can lead to a lot of extra effort, though.



Author's Response:

We'll see! As it is, the chapters are sometimes small so I may need to flesh a few out a bit to fit the minimum word count here, so anything is possible. But overall I hope the options given will offer a reasonable choice in general.

Reviewer: It Was Me Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: May 24 2023 Title: Chapter 2: 2

I'm liking this choose your own adventure format. I'm normally not big into second-person narratives, but the interactive component makes it feel appropriate here, and this story has been pretty immersive thus far just through your writing style, which helps as well.

I'm curious, do you already have predetermined routes worked out for each option, or might the logic and reasoning voters give potentially help shape how you move forward with the next chapter? Not so much that the voters dictate how exactly what the character does or how they implement that logic and reasoning, but would they be considered moving forward, if that makes any sense.

That may be a factor in which option I vote for.

Anyway, great start to this story, and I look forward to seeing where it goes!



Author's Response:

Good question! For this one right now it's predetermined, so the route's already there. But I do like that idea for the future, might be good to do something more dynamic like that (it'd just require a bit more time around it!).

Tyrael's Quest by Greenanon Rated: X starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 22]
Summary:

For years Arthur dreamed about being shrunk and dominated by the powerful mages of the Elven realms, and his dreams came true when the Archmage Tyrael recruited him into her household. Now he serves as her live in manservant and shrunken toy on command, exploring his desires at the hands and feet of the Archmage and her apprentices. Life seems idyllic, until one day without warning Tyrael announces that they are embarking on a dangerous journey across the Human realms, and into the wilds in pursuit of a goal she won't reveal.

A story about an elven archmage on a quest with her favorite human, and all the kinky uses they find for shrinking magic along the way.

I know I said that fantasy settings aren't really my thing, but you're kind of pulling me into it with these stories. These characters are a joy to follow, and the quest on which their embarking is an interesting one.

Tyrael is a pretty fun character, as she's an interesting mix of wisdom, mischief, and impulsiveness. And I think that impulsiveness is something I didn't think too much about in The Elf is Innocent, but thinking back on it, it was certainly there, although I just attributed it to less than ideal decision-making skills. but seeing her more focused on in this story, that impulsive nature really does mix well (from an entertainment standpoint) with the wisdom, creating an almost unwitting arrogance; the kind of subconscious arrogance that makes someone think that making backroom deals with vampires is a good idea, but doesn't make you act like an asshole.

Also, I love how her motivation is about as pure is it can get (spending eternity with the one you love) but the means through which she hopes to accomplish this is as dark and sinister as it can get. That's a pretty engaging contrast, and it's already played out so well, even before those two opposites are forced to clash.

And it's nice to see Arthur fleshed out here. He was fun in the little we saw of him in The Elf is Innocent, but to actually see his simple, laid back personality in this elven setting is pretty neat. He also shows that he's a bit quicker on the uptake and braver than I thought he would be as a candlemaker, but then again, he was also a soldier at one point, so that kind of makes sense.

I really appreciate the way that the relationship between Arthur and Tyrael is illustrated in this story. Yeah, this is kind of a harem story, with all of the elves (and probably adding an orc to that mix as well), but I feel like the differences in Arthur's interactions with the two apprentices really serves to highlight the more intimate nature of Tyrael's feelings for him.

I'll start by saying that I think Elwyn and Tina (classic elf name, by the way) really do care for Arthur in their own way, even if their narrow worldview limits the terms in which they can consciously consider this friendship. I also think that if Arthur didn't love the things they did to him as much as they loved doing them to him, they wouldn't do them to him.

However, I think it would only be guilt that would stop them. I don't think his enjoyment is something that matters to them in terms of their own. It's more like the fact that he likes it makes it okay for them to do these things, but they would enjoy them either way, if not for them knowing that it's wrong to do them to an unwilling human.

With Tyrael, I think her time with Arthur means more to her because he enjoys it as well. Throughout the story so far, every time she's done something to/with him, she has asked him questions about it, referenced previous conversations, or done something that both answers a need of his and led to fun for the both of them. In other words, when she shrinks him, she's focused on him; when the apprentices shrink him, they seem more focused on the stuff they're doing to him and his baser reactions then the tiny human himself.

Between that contrast and the subtle ways throughout the story that show that Arthur makes Tyrael happy even beyond her being able to toy with him, their relationship really stands out in an endearing, charming way.

However, while Tyrael's feelings for Arthur are pretty apparent, I'm left wondering exactly what forms of romantic relationships are common in elven society, if any are common at all. Tyrael doesn't seem to mind sharing Arthur (even with a hypothetical amazon), but Elwyn does feel the need to ask Tyrael before shrinking him even a little, which implies some form of possessiveness on the archmage's part.

So I guess I'm wondering if you might provide some detail into elven relationships in this world, unless doing so would spoil something later in the story, of course.

Also, while I'm asking questions, what is the average lifespan of an elf in this world? Are they immortal? I was kind of getting that impression, but then Varnay seemed to offer to turn both Arthur and Tyrael, so now I'm thinking maybe not?

And if Tyrael isn't immortal, but is actually seeking to make Arthur that, then she's really just putting him in the same position she's in now, isn't she?

I can't explain why, but "does their god even lift" has instantly become one of my favorite insults. It just really cracked me up for some reason. Also, just the thought of deadlifting mountains made my lower back ache. I know, I know, you're supposed to lift with your legs.

Excellent work as always! I look forward to seeing with this goes!



Author's Response:

As always your reviews are a joy to read and dissect. I know you don't usually like Fantasy but I've got a deep catalogue of it if you like this one lol.

Tyrael is the inverse of the Dunning-Kruger effect, or at least she's it from the opposite side lol. She's gotten too powerful and knowledgeable for any peers to tell her that she's making a bad decision, she doesn't have anyone to consult on these matters except the ancient vampire who obviously wants her to fall into a bad situation. Obviously things will go to a bad place by the end of this story, a place Tyrael would have easily seen if it was anyone other than herself involved.

Elwyn and Tina definitely care about Arthur, but not in the same way Tyrael does. I think you just about covered it, they would feel bad if he didn't like it, and Tyrael likely wouldn't have taken them as apprentices if they didn't (keep in mind she specializes in magic to counter human militaries) at the same time yeah their relationship isn't as deep. I'll try to get into how relationships in the Elven realms work, there are elven men but as I've said before I mostly like the women so that's who we see lol. Tyrael definitely has a certain possessiveness over our dear former Candlemaker. He's bringing her a happiness she hasn't had in a long time, I will expand on her (platonic) relationship with Emperor Gustav in the next few chapters, and why she's so paranoid about losing a human friend to mortality.

Elves in this setting are "immortal" in the sense that they don't die from age or disease (usually). We'll dive into it a bit more, but average lifespan of the elves is still only in the upper triple digits due to sheer mortality factors, if you look at average human mortality from war and workplace accidents I feel like you get a good idea of the Elves. Tolkien addressed this himself somewhat, Elrond, Galadriel, and Thranduil are some of the oldest elves by the time of Lord of the Rings, you might say Tyrael is similarly kind of a standout among the elven population.

Anyways I hope to see more reviews of my fantasy stories in this universe, I yearn for the day you post a review of Amazon Country lol.

Reviewer: It Was Me Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: August 03 2023 Title: Chapter 5: Emperors Gone By

Hey, it looks like I missed an update, so I kind of got a two for one with this one.

The first thing that stuck out to me between these last two chapters was Varnay. Up until the last chapter, I thought him following the group in the shadows was just him biding his time until they get to the Lich and that his occasional taunting was just standard vampiric douchiness. But between seeing him taunt Tyrael about Arthur taking a life and that little message he sent her with the bandit leader, I'm starting to think he might need her in a particular state of mind or something like that in order to do whatever evil thing he's clearly planning to do (we don't really know enough about the Lich to guess exactly what's going to go down, but the inevitable double cross is super obvious to everyone but our titular elf).

Obviously, I felt pretty bad for Arthur having to take a life. I do disagree that Tyrael is responsible for him having to do it, as he made his own choice to go on the journey and to pull the trigger to save his friend, but I do think Varnay's words will way on her. Much like how she thinks she's experienced and powerful to get out of any situation, I think if Arthur is put in more situations like that, she's going to blame herself because she didn't see them coming.

But the Arthur and Tyrael scenes in these last two chapters have been cute, heartwarming, and a little sad. The sadness is kind of an undertone, as her thoughts show that she's got his potential death and presumed immortality on her mind constantly. She feels like she can't even tell him that she loves him (she can't even bring herself to think about the l-word) until he's beyond death (by aging, anyway). It's sad, but it makes sense, as the fear of losing another person she cares so much about (I'm not sure if Gustav was just a really good friend or a lover) is keeping her from admitting her feelings, like if she let herself admit it now and enjoyed her time with Arthur naturally she's opening herself back up to that same pain. That was probably always pretty obvious, but it didn't really hit me until this last chapter.

And it was cool to get a glimpse at Gustav himself. Based on how he was talked about in The Elf is Innocent, at least on the human side, I kind of got the vibe that he was opportunistic and power hungry. Tyrael's memory paints a much nicer picture, and it's easier to understand why losing him hurt her so much.

I like how Elwyn's feelings for Colin were handled in this last chapter. Clearly she's got a bit of a thing for him, but once again, her views on humanity prevent her from fully realizing it. It's pretty cute how nervous she seemed to be around him at full size, and I don't remember her kissing Arthur like that. But, of course, she attributes her excitement to them having "their own human." I'm interested to see how or if this develops.

Elwyn and Tina both seem to show their inexperience in these last two chapters as well. Tina seems to shrug off her near-death experience way too easily, and she doesn't even think to thank Arthur for saving her life (or maybe she did that "offscreen" and I'm reading too much into it). I'm not sure she understands the toll that taking a life (especially for the first time) like Arthur did for her can have on a person, unlike Tyrael, who was quick to try and comfort him.

Then there's Elwyn. Like in chapter one with Arthur, she got her toy after the magic drill. However, also like with Arthur, Colin hesitated and would have had her if he didn't. Both times she didn't seem to understand this, probably because she was too happy to have her tiny human. I feel like this might come back to bite her in some way later on.

Naz brings an interesting dynamic to the group. She hasn't played a huge role in the story yet, but I'm enjoying her bonding sessions with the apprentices. Her brief interactions with Arthur and Colin have been pretty entertaining as well, especially when she vowed to do her best to help Colin "earn a squeeze." She's a fun character, and I'm interested in seeing what role she plays in the story going forward.

But yeah, it was good to see this story with an update (especially since I didn't see the last one). This is an interesting tale, fun but with a little depth and foreboding with whatever's coming when our party reaches its destination.



Author's Response:

The stuff about Gustav in the different stories is kind of a commentary on how various historical figures are remembered. Some people remember him as greedy and opportunistic, and maybe he was to a degree, others lionize him as a great liberator, and he certainly did free some people, the elves made up a legend of an unstoppable elf killing superman to sate their own egos, and Tyrael remembers the man himself.

Varnay is someone that Tyrael thought she could control, but the bandit leader is a little reminder that she can't, he's very obviously up to something sinister and her apprentices, Arthur, hell even Colin could probably tell her that working with him is a bad idea.

Tyrael and Arthur's relationship does have an underlying tragedy to it, but what else but love would motivate such a desperate quest?

A pool boy, huh? What, was the pizza delivery guy too busy?

But seriously, this was a fun little one-shot. I'm always amazed at just how quickly you're able to make your characters stand out from one another and engage the reader in a fun way.

In particular, I enjoyed the contrast between Sofia and Cynthia regarding their attitudes toward Parker. Sofia seemed more carefree with him, really just having fun playing with him. Cynthia, on the other hand, while also having the same carefree spirit one would expect of a cliché rich girl, repeatedly checks on Parker (something Sofia doesn't think to do once), even if she keeps her smug mentality as she does so.

That contrast really helps highlight Cynthia's interest in Parker, which is pretty subtly hinted at throughout the story. She's interested enough in him to make sure he's enjoying being tiny. She even wanted to grow him back pretty much right away, showing that shrinking was really just her way of getting his attention. I also like how hesitant she was when Sofia stuffed him inside her and how she was mildly annoyed after the fact, implying that while Cynthia enjoyed him in there, she would have rather not gone that far with him, at least not before getting to know him better (or at least making sure he was into it) first.

Having the way Parker's reactions to the girls' games serving as the building blocks of his budding relationship with Cynthia was also a nice touch. It seemed that the more enthusiastic and brave Parker was, the more into him Cynthia was. Again, the subtlety with which you establish this, without clearly spelling it out directly, is very rewarding to read.

But yeah, this was a really enjoyable quick read!



Author's Response:

Hey I didn't choose the contest theme! pool boy porno is a tried and tested formula lol. Honestly I can't get into written smut unless there's a bit of characterization lol. Anyways yeah Sofia mostly sees him as the day's entertainment, while Cynthia is actually into him and is basically looking for a way to get him in several senses.

Date: August 05 2023 Title: Chapter 11: Ending 1: Part 1

Man, with how this chapter went down, I half-expected the Crypt Keeper to pop up at the end of this chapter and make some stupid pun, like, oh, I don't know, "Well, it looks like David and Courtney are learning the agony of ... de-FEET. Ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

You know, I have a strong preference for happy endings, and I was actually glad to see that this was only Ending 1, which leaves some hope that Ending 2 will go down a happier route. But let's be honest, even if Ending 2, in its entirety, goes like this:

Part 1

He dead.

Part 2

He still dead.

... it'll still be happier than this one. This is clearly a fate worse than death, one I couldn't have predicted (and I thought of some scenarios that might play out). I mean, not only are David and Courtney going to spend the rest of their lives in absolutely agony, but David is also going to have to see the woman he loves, who he knows loves him back (I know it was important to Emily to get that out, but it probably only made things worse for David in retrospect), forget about him entirely, move on, and fall in love with someone else. Damn, that's brutal!

But, after saying all of that, while I don't like this ending in the sense that it's definitely not how I wanted to see this story end, I can absolutely appreciate how great it is in an objective sense.

As I said above, this was ending was completely unpredictable, but it fit the story up to this point so well, and it just made so much sense. All of the torture David went through up to this point was just a prelude to this, and Caitlin's gradually revealed sadism makes it totally plausible that she would do something like this (and hire others who would be cool with it, too).

Also, the nature of David and Emily's relationship, as we've seen it throughout the story, makes her confession (and David's unheard confession) really hit home. It was well developed, even though we don't really see the two of them knowingly interact before this point beyond chapter 2.

We get to know Courtney just well enough to actually give a fuck about her, so while she's kind of an after thought, I still feel bad for her.

And knowing that Caitlin's villain monologue was really more of a taunt of David and Courtney, as Emily is going to forget all of it, just makes her that much more evil.

However, this ending does leave a couple of questions:

Won't people who know both Emily and David ask her about him? She may not know what, but she's going to know something's up when people keep trying to tell her about this dude that she doesn't know exists.

The same goes for Courtney. Won't it be weird when her teammates are talking about her going missing, and Emily asks, "Who the fuck is that?"

If they could just take Courtney like that, why did it take so long to get a dude for the experiment? Couldn't they have just taken some random guy, or, better yet, scouted out someone that's likely to not be missed?

And this last one is more of just a curiosity, but if Caitlin had made good on her threat to graft Emily to her foot, would Courtney and David have still been alive or would that have killed them?

I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking those first few questions. I don't want to take away from what I again thought was, at least in the technical sense, a really good ending. I just found myself wondering about those first two once it became clear that Emily was going to forget them altogether.

Oh, and I think it was definitely a good call to go with the cruel ending first in this case. Even if Ending 2 is super happy, it'll make it even more so. And if it's not, it'll still look happier compared to this one. I don't know if the inverse would have been true if the cruelest ending was the last one (maybe I'm getting ahead of myself saying that this is the crueler ending, but I don't know how you could get much darker than this one).

Anyway, enough ranting from me. I'll be interested to see David and Courtney's new hell in the next chapter, and I'm definitely looking forward to whatever Ending 2 has to offer!

Thank you so much for your incredibly in depth review, both this one and the other you left on my other story! You actually covered some very important points that I hope I provided sufficient coverage for in the story refresh! I wish I could give you a reward of some kind on this site for a good review lol, but just know I would give you 5 stars if I could!

Having read the review below, my initial impression after finishing the latest chapter was to agree about including David's (and maybe even Courtney's) perspective here. in fact, I had the same thought before I even read said review. The more I think about it, though, the less sure I am about that.

Sure, there's a morbid curiosity as their mental states a year after becoming Emily's feet, but honestly, after a year of it, they've probably already adapted to their new hell. Seeing things from their POV would be more impactful if this chapter started a day or maybe even a week later, when this new type of suffering was still new.

Also, given that Emily's feet spend most of the chapter in her old shoes, their perspective would probably be a pretty boring one from a narrative standpoint. And in terms of fetish content, it would basically amount to the same thing we've read during David's ordeal, except that he wouldn't be going through the physical pain and fear of being crushed like he did the last time he was in Emily's shoe. So, in other words, it seems as though it would be a less exciting retread of previous chapters.

I'm not saying that adding their perspectives wouldn't have added anything at all, but even as I'm typing this, I personally feel that giving us the details from Emily's side and leaving us to imagine what her feet are going through was the better choice.

As for the chapter itself, I like that Emily's subconscious seems like it's trying to push through memories of David but can't. It gives a superficial undertone to her newfound happiness, like it's part of her "new programming" rather than something legitimate.

I also like how her conversation with Kelsey was handled. It looks like she's started to pretend that she knew them at all, probably so people will stop looking at her so weird. That was a nice touch, as it implies that she's been asked about this a lot, which is something you would expect.

But yeah, even though Emily's happiness was likely at least implanted, I was glad to see at least one character come out of this at least kind of okay. Then the slip of paper came under the door, and I assumed that this is how Caitlin has been keeping tabs on her. But then I saw that her trial pays $200 an hour.

Oh.

It looks like the good doctor might be trying to tie up loose ends. After all, we know why David was offered that much money. And the last sentence of the chapter was especially sad, given that she was cursing herself for being all about the trial money in the last chapter. With her memory wiped, she's doomed to make the same mistake again, only this time it looks like she's going to take David's place.

Thanks again for such a detailed review. Next time you leave one, I'd like to know if your name is a JoJo reference lol. Very apt perspective on why I didn't write a pov for David or Courtney! In general, you're great at picking up on the subtle hints and little details!

You know, it's one thing for the Brits to murder all the puppies and kittens for target practice, destroy one of our greatest cities with a mechanized Big Ben, and make stare at their gross rotten teeth. I mean, that's all classic English! But when they start bringing those God damned extra U's over here, they've crossed a line that can never be uncrossed. Those things are the bane of my existence!

On the other hand, I guess I should be grateful that they left all of those stupid extra ME's across the pond.

I was also glad to see that most of Abigail's version of the story was mostly made up, believable as it was. For a minute I was worried that the Declaration of Independence DIDN'T have a treasure map in it. I would have hated to see her story devalue a National Treasure like that.

And I didn't realize that the Second Continental Congress was turned into a courtroom briefly. That was a fun bit of history to learn.

I loved the hodgepodge of misplaced historical quotes scattered throughout the story and that Graywithers didn't even get to finish the two most recognizable ones. Also, "By Henry's wives" is an incredible line that I would now say all the time if I were British. I might start doing it anyway, honestly. You're really starting to impact my vocabulary, or at least how I use it!

There's too much of it to comment on everything, but the jokes in this were all great! The way the Brits and King George Sidious were straight up demonized was particularly hilarious to me, but I was pretty much laughing through this whole thing. Well done!

On a slightly more serious note, I really like how you used Nigel and Abigail as a framing device here. They were cute and fun together, and Abigail's attitude lent itself perfectly to the insulting (to her listener, anyway), zany nature of the story. I also loved the pacing between the two stories, with Annie's story getting more and more insane as Nigel and Abigail got more and more wild. It's like Abigail was trying to see how much she could get away with as she made her British lover more and more horny.

And the British breakfast was a nice touch as well, kind of giving us a clue that Abigail isn't nearly as ignorant about the Tories as she would have Nigel believe (up until that point, I was thinking that you were just poking fun at the lack of knowledge of or interest in history among modern Americans).

And, of course, merging the two stories by making Abigail a descendent of the real Liberty Lass was pretty cool as well. It really added to the re-enactment, that's for sure!

Bonus points for working in my second most favorite patriotic song of all time into the story, America, Fuck Yeah! It was just narrowly edged out on my list by the sad version of America, Fuck Yeah!

Oh, and if you're reading this, excellent work on the cover art Redrat24. It looks awesome!



Author's Response:

Yeah Abigail's story is of dubious authenticity even with the revelation that Liberty Lass was "real." The general idea I had was that the story gets progressively more outlandish the more hot and heavy they get, although the Big Ben giant robot still managed to get Nigel to object. Overall though as much as the English get demonized in this story I wanted to give the Brits something, hence why Nigel gets the (giant) girl even if his re-enactment didn't exactly go to plan haha. Thanks for reading!

I just wanted to say that this was a great story, and I'm saying that as someone that generally isn't super into the whole torment thing. However, your descriptions were on point and the way you write characters gives them a personal feel, and that kept me invested throughout the story.

I know there were people who were hoping that Kyle didn't make it through the night (and I think those people should be able to read stories that satisfy them as well), but I really liked the way you handled the ending. Throughout the story, I found myself really wanting Kyle to find some happiness (usually in these kinds of stories I'm not too interested in the tiny character and kind of tune out) and hoping for some karma to strike the titular mean girls. I think you nailed the more important half of that and in a really gratifying way, especially after I went back and read the first part of this series. This dude went through A LOT, and the payoff at the end of this one was that much sweeter because of it.

I also think mixing up happy and unhappy endings is a good way to keep your stories interesting. If every main character meets a brutal end, well, that just gets redundant. I've read some of you unaware stories, and based on those endings, I kind of expected Kyle to meet an unfortunate end. Heather gave me some hope, though I wasn't sure if she would stay nice or give into peer pressure and her inner desires to become the worst of them. I think you found a happy medium there, by the way.

Anyway, I figured I should let you know that I liked this story and share a few thoughts. I look forward to seeing more from you!



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for the super in depth review. I definitely want to subvert some expectations, as considering the nature of the website, most of the more violent and torturous stories on here are purely for smut and don't necessarily intend on keeping the tiny alive. I wrestled with the idea of ending the story on a negative note, but it just felt like seeing someone like Kyle make it through such experiences and come out alive would be a unique touch that was oddly endearing. Won't be the typical ending for my stories since I write on the more violent side, but it was really refreshing to end such a torturous series on such a positive note.

Again, thank you so much for the review and the depth you put in. Thank you for reading my stories!

Summary:

Friends forever, Noah and Emma are comfortable being around each other at any time and place.  Of course, a good friendship like theirs has its share of pranks and messing with each other, but it's all harmless fun and nothing a proper apology can't resolve in the end.  However, when Emma's latest pranks ends up being a bit more effective than she anticipated, she might not even get the chance to make things right with her best friend.

Date: July 15 2023 Title: Chapter 1: Just a Prank

This chapter really got me invested in our two main characters. Their relationship is an interesting one, with Emma being fun-loving and teasing and Noah seeming to have the type of immunity to said teasing that only years of close friendship can bring.

I like the subtle way in which you show how Emma has romantic feelings for Noah, even if she isn't aware of them or can't accept them just yet. She even started researching giantessism after laughing about his enthusiasm over it in her head. Then there's the way she enjoys talking to him as Lily, even admitting there's more to said enjoyment than the prank itself.

And of course Noah enjoys talking to Lily, since Lily is really Emma, so this sets up the potential for a real relationship between the two down the road, if this story goes down the happy ending route (which I'm personally hoping it does).

As I said, I'm already pretty invested in this and a little nervous for our boy Noah. I'm sure things are about to get pretty rough for him, but I'm hoping that he at least ends up in Emma's (most likely) safe hands at some point. But with that ominous story description and no gentle tag for this story, that's far from a given, which is a good thing, as it builds suspense a bit.

I'm also pretty interested to see why Emma's mom hates Noah so much. It sounds like there's more to it than simply not liking him or the fact that he always seems to be in her daughter's room.

Overall, great work so far and a really interesting premise! Looking forward to more!



Author's Response:

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.  Getting the balance of Noah and Emma's relationship just right was tricky but fun.
I was hoping to have the romantic undertones in their relationship a bit more subdued, but when you have characters as close to each other as them, it gets harder and harder to hide.  At least I got that they do care deeply for each other across.

As for Noah's fate, I will say that not all the tags that apply to the various endings have been included so's not to give too much away.  I added the big ones that might be deal-breakers for people so's not to misguide them, but the rest of the commission I have is five alternative endings of where Noah ended up and who got him lol  And who knows, maybe a certain disapproving milf was the one to receive a package she never ordered ;)

Thanks again for the review and I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the story when I upload it in a couple weeks!
