Any hope for a new chapter before the 31st of December ? It would be a great way to end the year :) !

Finally, the Beast of the Apocalypse has cornered her prey ! Will she now reveal that she is madly in love with our hero, only to be stopped by super-sized Penny, leading to her injecting herself with more growth serum, starting the Kaiju Wars ?

Or perhaps she'll just torment Jack. Which is just as good !

As always, a pleasure to read you. Also, it was awesome to see Caitlin unwittingly helping Jack and showing us why ecen other Alphas fear her.

As always, it's a pleasure to see the story alive !

I really like how the Alphas are depucted here. The adults don't seem as rude as the teens, but they clearly lacks even more knowledge about how to interact with them. I guess that the older they get, the harder it is to remember the times they didn't tower above them ?

Concerning Penny... that girl's an angel. She is in pain, hospitalized and she feels bad about not being with Jack at school ! That some serious caring here. I also have the feeling she's have a major growth spurt soon, because of the way you described her illness, but of course it could be something else entirely.

I can't wait to know more, but I'll still do so as long as necessary ;)

A commotion and then Hannah pick up Jack, who, what a surprise, was the one sent flying ? I smell some kind of conspiration... I wonder if Caitlin asked one of her crony to provoke it or if she went herself to deal with Penny, but I got the feeling that our little protagonist will trade one pair of very perk breasts to the knockers of his tormentor really soon...

I wonder how the redheaded sport addict is right now... I suspect that while she may try to torture Jack some more she'll finally admit to herself that she fell something for him. In any case, I know I won't be disappointed by your work !

Date: February 01 2018 Title: Chapter 34: Eruption

Well, I hadn't expected it but it's probably the best which could happen to Jake. His family knows about Penny (partially) and while he erupted at their poking, it's a reaction I can perfectly understand (I've that kind of temper myself, even without traumatic rape event). I must say I'm surprised at his Mom's insistence that he should be with a Beta girl however... Madame, where do you expect him to find one ? It's mandatory for girls in the U.S. to become Alpha, at least since your son's generation ! Get a grip on reality !

Now, I can't wait for them to actually meet Penny. But I think that this chapter foreshadow a confrontation with Caitlin, somehow. Jake is coming together, even if he hasn't realized it yet. I think that if Penny manage to protect him publicly from the redheaded's attention, we could go be sailing for some serious nightmarish stuff for our hero. I don't know why, it's my guts talking I guess...

Anyway, keep the awesome work. Also, I you could loan me a tenth of your writing skills, it would be great !



Author's Response:

The increased awareness now takes the story into interesting territory - his parents don't *know* anything about the girl, but they know Jack has a female Alpha friend - and this opens up avenues in future, even if it's just them asking about her. Up until this point they only really know Jack has Delon as a best friend, so this is a big development for them, which they'll interpret as a big positive, and maybe see as validation that Alphas and Betas get along and their boy is just fine (little do they know). 

Jack is an introverted, sensitive type anyway, so don't expect sunshine and rainbows from now on, but there is now a solid core to his self-belief; Penny has validated that he is a good person, and worthy of love and respect. Caitlin still lurks around the corner, but he has Penny and Delon both fully aware and ready to act, so it just remains to be seen what will happen next... oooooh!!

Date: January 30 2018 Title: Chapter 33: Affection

Wow, things are progressing quite well between Penny and Jack. I'm really glad to see them both growing as characters like that. I really feel that a girlfriend who truly loves and cares about him will do wonder for our little Beta's main character, especially when she has basically told him that she loves him the way he is and wouldn't want him to be an Alpha ! In the meantime, I would really like to see Penny talking with her newly found boyfriend's parents, I think she could help them realize that their son doesn't live in the same world they grew up. Now, the question is, will we have a battle of the century between Mama Bear Penny and Feral Wolf Caitlinn ? I suspect that the answer is a yes, but I can't wait to read it anyway ;)

Speaking of the resident red-haired Queen of the school, I can't help but feel that you present her overwhelming presence so well. Just the sight of her sneakers terrified Jack, and Delon got afraid just seeing her face hovering above the rest of the Alphas. It really gives her an aura of intimidation which makes her so much more than simply a bully. For Jack and even Delon, she seems to be more of a mythological threat than anything normal, and I find it awesome. I also can't help but notice how, when something physically bad happened to Jack when he was abducted, Caitlinn face was almost always obscured.

I really does wonder to add layer to this character. I'm thinking especially about the pool scene (which sent Alex over her friendship to help rescue Jack). For the Beta, Caitlinn was cold and emotionless, not caring at all about his suffering, and we assume it is the case, because he couldn't see her face and we follow his point of view. But we don't know how she reacted truly, and it adds this veneer of mystery, at least for me. Basically, it boil down to two simple questions :

-Does Jack knew Caitlinn as a child but forgot about her like he did Penny ? It was implied in their first encounter that Caitlinn may know him before hand, at least it was my impression reading it again recently.

-Is she in love with him but unable to express it in a healthier way ? There is several indications that it could be the case in the story, and considering their world, the very little tidbits we know about her parents and what she told about men and how she feel about them... It wouldn't surprise me that she felt sick harbouring feelings for a Beta, that she has been abused or at least used by men when she was younger and that her pouncing on Jack is both her way to express her love and her pain. She needs to sort out her feelings anyway, that's for sure.

I think I must also comment on Delon. That guy is basically the best friend everyone would love to have. He's calm, collected, cool under pressure, caring about his buddy and always willing to help as best he could. I really think that him being a solid rock for Jack will help our main character as much as Penny's love.



Author's Response:

The fact she made a point of saying she categorically liked him as a human being is a huge one. There have also been hints that she perhaps is quite fond of Betas or Beta-sized things anyway, but it's yet to be explored... might be a red herring (I've thrown in a few)!

Caitlin is, as you say, practically a supernatural force from the perspective of the Betas. It's not just that she's bigger and stronger than the other Alphas (who are in their own right supernatural-seeming) - but it's her capacity to 'go there', inflict pain, not give a damn about the consquences. Her social standing, aggressive behaviour and connections just make her this perfect storm-like package if she decides to train her sights on you. 

Your point about her face is semi-deliberate, but you've definitely given me food for thought. I've tried to portray Caitlin as someone who presents herself off as terrifying, but has glimpses of humanity, which you've speculated on. Your ideas are ones I have explored in my notes. 

As for Delon, he's an amalgamation of several traits that make him solid 'best friend' material without being a particularly well-rounded or pivotal character. Compared to Penny, he simply hasn't been explored in the same detail, as the plot hasn't required it. In addition, it has to be said that in some respects, Delon and Jack's friendship is a marriage of convenience - two Betas mostly in the same classes - they were bound to be friends even though they're not terribly alike. He's not completely sure how to help, or how to support his friend other than to try and do what's right, but he is a likeable and conscientious fella and gives 100%. He'll never let you down, and that's worth a lot.

Yes ! GH-X2 has returned ! I can't tell you how happy I am to read a new chapter of your awesome story. Concerning the situation... I must say that Jack was very, very lucky that Caitlinn didn't notice him. If I were here, I would probably look very closely each and every Beta around to find my prey back... but perhaps that she did it the morning and grew bored or that she herself is too agitated to to do right now.

In any case, I expect something big in the library. Probably Penny, but who knows ? A certain redhead could barge in...



Author's Response:

I suspect Caitlin may have been a lot more observant on Monday, or even during Tuesday day, but by Tuesday afternoon, with school over, she could have reached the conclusion Jack's not coming back or is herself preoccupied or tired.

Then again, who's to say she didn't actually spot him, even more than once, but is simply biding her time... *mic drop*

Summary:

Two girls from different backgrounds come together only to have evil forces target them.

Uuh... I had totally missed this story. A shame, really, because I've read it in one go today, and I really want to learn what will happen next.

I want to know who are those dark wizards or something and what they want. I want to know what will happen to Sondra once she'll gave in and becomesWendy's familiar. I want to know how Wendy will make it work, if she'll regrow her friend/lover/pet one Sondra will be hers body, mind and soul, or if doing so would break the link between witch and familiar... I want to know so many things !

Overall, awesome story, keep going please !



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for commenting.  It means a lot.

I'm glad you are inspired to questions.  Yes, I have more story to tell and yes I will continue.  I'm really glad you're curious about the agents of darkness, cuz the next chapter is about them. You said you are a wanna be fantasy writer, so I'm really pleased you are enjoying this. 

Wendy and Sondra's relationship has only begun to be complicated.  I hope it's clear how truly deep their feelings are for each other.

Thank you again, coming from an author who's work I enjoy, your comments mean much to me.

Excellent chapter, as always ! I wonder how Blake will be around Tanner now, after the realization of what que was doing to him dawned on her. I also hope that Gail won't give up on Tanner and manage to steal his heart



Author's Response:

 Hopefully they patch things up.  And they'll be on hold for now, but this won't be the last of Gail and Tanner

Summary:

As a short man, having a tall girlfriend can be interesting.  When she can shrink you, you might need to reconsider just how much that height difference bothered you.

 

Edit: When I had this idea it was going to be a one-off with the protagonist getting crushed right after he shrinks, I never expected this to grow to a novel-length story!  Thanks to everyone for the support as I continue writing this.

Hello Vintovka ! 

I'm a long term lurker who'se been reading and enjoying your story. I like the original ending (because it open ups possibilities for future stories) but I also liked a lot this bonus. As for another alternate ending, FUlda giving her ex-boyfriend to Anni could actually be great, to end on a "happier" note... or she could give him and Anni to Gina to make "ants" babies ; ) !

 

Anyway, keep the good work !



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading!  I expected someone to request one with Anni since she was sort of a fan favorite, and a happier ending with her makes sense.  Stay tuned!

Well; Pix said it all, didn't he ? The last chapters have been a delight because of how insightful they have been. I can't help but notice that Tier 3 doesn't seem to be so happy with their lot, we've got three now (Brenda, Samantha and the one of the M/m one-shot in my random factory thread) and their lives aren't as awesome as other MAJORS think they are. Sometimes, being the apex predator can be tiring !

A little sad to see Summer Bradbury going all domination on her little husband, especially since Randalf clearly still sees her as a mostly positive force in his life. I hope she'll get her act together and realise that as small as Minors are, there is no need for all this violence and humiliation (if it isn't thought after by the Minor) for her to be the overpowering part of her family.



Author's Response:

Yeah being tier 3 may not be such a walk in the park. Eill Brenda come into her role? Who knows? I'm interested in Samantha, she seems more comfortable as a tier 3.

This is one very specific situation that portrays Summer as an antagonist, mostly for humor. She's being forceful but Randalf's being a bit of a coward. They both love each other and he knows he's in no real danger. Don't think he doesn't have a few kinks in bed either. It's all a game they play!

Date: March 15 2018 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13: POWER/struggles

Damn it ! A chapter getting out just when I have to go out for work and have to wait all day to make a comment !

 

First thing first, it was amazing to actually have teenage MAJORS being themselves in the wilds, so to speak. It really helps establish how they see the world and their place in it. I mean, they are assholes, mostly, but clearly they don't even realize that they are like that. It's makes them almost sufferable. The operative word being almost.

Also, I liked Randalf and Izzy's interaction, and Summer turned out to be so much more complex than I thought she would be last chapter. Iggy being furious was also great, especially since it came with Izzellah being all awed by him, since it's so unusual for him to be angry near her (I'm sure he is a lot more often at work !). Even Mei didn't came out as conniving, and more as opportunistic and perhaps a little too infatuated in Izzellah. 

Overall, an excellent chapter, which puts so much pressure on me to release some good quality content for New Lives ! Man, I like it !

Keep up the awesome work and good luck for your comic. I'll write a better review after work, don't worry :)

I've finally read the updated chapter 13 and man, it was gross what happened to Izzy. Those MAJORS are the worst ! I'll probably end making use of that scene in Alejandro's school life, if inly as a mention, sooner or later ! I also really like the last chapter, with the way businesses make use of the scarcity of Minors to entice customers and all. Very underhanded !

Date: April 06 2018 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15: broken/WALLS

And here I was, afraid that I had made Howard Waid too much of a monster even for the Dark Age... Turns out he was rather average ! Damn, that's pretty grim... But now I want to write Izzy chewing Shannon and Alejandro explaining why MAJORS kept Minors alive even before those horrible events. Which, I think, amount to them playing a kind social stabilizers : If even the poorest of the MAJOR was better off than a Minor, he had no reason to revolt against his situation, after all...

Overall, what an awesome chapter ! We finally learn a bit more about Izzy's past, her mother and her "friends" from back then. I would really like for the twin to make a come back in a sequel having turned their lives over when they'll discover that Izzy will become President ! :p

I really like how hurt she was by the movie. It must be so terrible to learn that your species was slaughtered because some members had the bravery to fight for their rights. Somehow, it makes Shannon's campaign all the more poignant and sad, because if MAJORS weren't so utterly devoid of empathy toward their smaller brethren, it wouldn't be needed. I wonder if Shannon realize that she is really gambling hard with her idea to have Alejandro and Izzy being intimate and "dating".

Onward to the art. It's really great, as always. I really like your Alejandro and can't wait to see you adding more cast members from your stories. 

Keep the great work man !

 

 

 

 



Author's Response:

Oh yeah definitely! Waid's an old asshole! How old is he? Let me go re-read that......137! Well good for him! He's not even a super MAJOR. What's he running on? Racism? He's probably on his last legs though. Summer could probably kick his ass! But ueah he lived through both wars, I imagine his family might have even owned minor slaves! Maybe he even participated in hunting them down?! Or maybe he's just a jerk for no reason. *shrug* People like that exist. 

Well Shannon's movement seems like a pretty big deal. She's probably not the first to try but being a very influential person on size alone I think she'd get traction even if she wasn't a billionaire. MAJORS respect strength afterall! As for Shannon vs Izzy? Well who do you think she's running against for the presidency you fool! MAJOR/minor 2! Who will win?!

And yeah Shannon's assuming a lot isn't she? She seems kind of excitable in general. The kind of person who gets an idea in her head and just rolls with it! That's probably part of how she became a billionaire huh?

Reviewer: Kurogane335 Signed
Date: April 06 2018 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: A minor/Surprise

Little spoiler : Waid and Alejandro will have a brawl in the future. We'll see how tough he is then ! And Shannon will be left... Well, you'll see.

Shannon, in my mind, became a billionaire because her teachers told her that she may have been big but that she would never leave a mark on the world, since she was kind of a low-grade student in high-school (something she dropped out, by the way). She just decided to prove them wrong.

Concerning a presidential run between Izzy and Shannon, Alejandro and me will vote for the Minor ! I mean, Shannon has good intentions, but forcing Minors to move to year-long warmy states so they have to show some skin 365/365 is a little too much !

I can't wait to see how you'll tackle Shannon and Izzy in your Special now. After learning so much about the past and life in a school full of biggies, Miss Ivory will totally be the mentor figure of Alejandro... If she doesn't get snatched by Sabrina, Mei or Lindsey !



Author's Response:

Waid v Alejandro? Hmmm. I mean Alejandro does work out and Waid is pretty old. Like he doesn't even seem stronger than the woman he takes to bed. (How is he pulling that off anyway? Money?) But then again you haven't really described Waid's appearance in depth. Is he spry? Alejandro's young and he does actually have a kill under his belt as horrible as that is to say. waid is still a MAJOR though. How tall is he? Al does only have one arm..how hard is is prosthetic one? Maybe he can put a bit of power behind it? It might actually be interesting. I mean until Shannon gets involved and beats Waid like a bad dog. Uhh...what was the point of this? 

I don't think Izzy's law that all MAJORS have to bare toned middrift in her presence would be seen as much better. Not like she'd win anyway. Even if every minor voted for her. Still a girl can dream! 

Shannon v Izzy: A conflict of ideals. Speed vs Power...and also speed, and size, and money, and even more size and power. I am excited to write though!

Is it wrong that I'm still rooting for Mei over Sabrina to win the game and have a real date with Izzy ? It is right ? Damn it. Anyway, another excellent chapter ! And that cliffhanger at the end... what will it be ? Or who !? Suspense is killing me !

Also, unrelated but... for the Third Interlude, I had in mind something for Lisa and Linda ? Can I get your greenlight for that ?



Author's Response:

I mean I think I hinted what Papa Ivory was doing pretty strongly. The only reason I didn't outright say it is for a surprise next chapter. But you can guess if you want. And yes. You are wrong for wanting Izzy x Mei. Your feelings are not valid! Mei was a complete dick this chapter. She's controlling, manipulative, and cold. Boo! 

I've already said you can write whatever you want. I don't mind fanfiction. I'd have to read it before I decide if it's canon, like if for some reason you decide to kill them or something. That'd be interesting to read, but an obvious no go. So if you need an official blessing than go for it.

NotSirk, you rascal ! How can you end this story on such a high note ! Damn, it was awesome, the penultimate chapter was so great, I couldn't help but read it at work ! And I'll read it again and again and again and again and... well, you get it.

 

I loved all the characters. yes, even Mei, in the end, who seems to have some serious chip on her shoulder, considering what she said in Izzy's "mental fortress" when it came to other makig mistakes if she isn't here... but now I want to know why Izzy hinted that she was her first in the SPecial ! Damn it !

Seeing Brenda's loveable attitude was so great, I ended rooting for her seriously... I wonder if we'll ever see a glimpse of her future, she deserves to find happiness, after how great a character she turned out to be. Not like Romeo "I fall for boobies" Watermiene, or Rebecca "I can't distract anyone if I don't use sex" Swann ! Kidding, I loved them too, and Lisa was the best best friend ever. 

Don't worry for the Special, we have time, I want to explore the whole first day of school and afterward for Alejandro, so at least a mont and a half more of story, I8 would say, and then I would like to write some unrelated stories in ly Random Stories Factory, so I'm pretty sure you'll get to write some, don't worry :p. It's more important that you get healed and well on your feet. I need my dose of story by NotSirk and your drawings !

I noticed the little description Izzellah's perfect minor material for boyfriend, strangely, it reminded me of somone, but I wonder who :p ! 

Anyway, get well and thanks for the story !



Author's Response:

Well to answer your question about Mei. Not to tease but I had a bit of an epilouge planned involving the true results of the game if you paid attention. I was purposefully a little vague but there is a clear winner. I didn't have time to do it though sadly. I like the story being open ended on that though. I trust you to make inferences. Thanks for the support and reviews.
