Title: Chapter 1: It's Fine, Mom
Sooooooo since you're open to suggestions, here's some of my thoughts: I really think that the slow size change is better for stories more focused on the relations between the characters. For instance, you can try to relate the emotional state of the character who is shrinking with his shrinkage. Since our friend here is depressed, you could make so that the more depressed he is, the more he shrinks, of something between those lines. Making the necessary adaptations of course. There is a story here called ''Origins of a foot fetish'' that IMO is the best mom-son story from this fetish. Period! It also deals with the emotions of the son who is slowing shrinking and geting submissive towrds his mother. Even though it has some sexual themes, the the relations between the son and the mom is what it makes it for me. Even if you won't use it for inspirations, it is a great great that I recommend. Check it out! For me, the slow size change makes it possible to explore more of the relations and create more situations the characters to be in. If the guy is already too tiny, I think it reduces a little from the possibilities.
Buuuuuuuuut if you're going to stick with the instant size change, I think the shrunken one should be 1 foot- 8 inches max, for again, the interactions between him and his mom would suffer a bit. Also size comparisons, fisical interactions like foot massaging, hand handling and the mom remembering how tiny he is, is a must imo.
Another great story focused on relations between family members here is ''how to train your dad'' version 1 form jessajess99. The tiny there is stuck at 2'5 and don't shrink further, but is a masterclass on char interactions and development. It has almost no sexual content, and yet is still sexy AF lol. The relations between the characters there are just heartwarming and cozy.
This is it, hope I didn't talk too much! This is of course just my opinion and preferences, for I'm no writter. And the stories I mentined here are just for reference to what I'm trying to say. But any path you take I'm going to read the hell out of it because these first chapters already got me hooked! In the meantime I'll try to read your other works aswell!
Thanks for listening : ))
Author's Response: Thank you for your suggestions! I really appreciate your perspective, and you make good points. I think your suggestions are good ones, so I'll just explain my thought process a bit~~
So, I totally get why you prefer slow size change, and I think that would be a good call for this story if it didn't take place over a single weekend. Since every new size would require a new relationship dynamic, as well as a new set of size interactions, it would be hard to execute that over a span of a few days without it feeling rushed, in my opinion. Since I'm envisioning this story to only cover a span of 3-4 days, I would just prefer to stick to one size change and flesh it out as best I can. The mechanics of the size changing device itself also make slow size change harder to pull off, as seen in chapter 1 and will be further explained in the next chapter or so. So, in this case, I just think that instant size change fits the story better, and allows me to focus on their relationship without having to divert attention to each new size. Maybe I can try out slow size change in another story sometime, though, since it definitely brings a completely different and interesting dynamic to the characters!
As for the actual size itself, this is one of those moments where I kinda have to take the copout author answer of "I don't really like to write that," unfortunately. Again, different sizes create different dynamics, and the dynamics that I personally enjoy writing about involve pretty small characters. What can I say, I'm a big fan of handheld stuff and kisses that completely engulf the tiny. As for if their interactions will be better or worse because of that, I only hope that you'll wait to see how they turn out before making a judgement! If you do decide to check out my other stories, you'll get a good sense for how I approach interactions with a really small protagonist. Even if you prefer bigger sizes, I hope that I can execute his size in an enjoyable way for you! I'm really glad that you're excited for future chapters, and I really wouldn't want to let you down.
I have actually already read "origins," and I agree that it's one of the best mom-son stories around! This story won't be nearly as sexual, but I hope to tap into some of that loving playfulness and teasing-type interactions. I've read a little bit of "how to train your dad," and it's also definitely well-written (my only hangup being the age of the giantess). Those stories both heavily revolve around humiliation and submissiveness, though, which isn't exactly my intended direction with this, just as a warning. This will be a primarily gentle and fluffy story, with serious themes but wholesome interactions. Again, I hope that isn't disappointing to hear, and I hope you enjoy the direction I have planned.
Anyway, I'm *really* sorry if it seems like I'm just ignoring your suggestions, I really don't want to come across like I am. It's just that, in the case of those two specific suggestions, I would have to basically rework the entire story to incorporate them, which would be a bit difficult at this point. I'm seriously happy to hear ideas for certain scenes or interactions, but it's hard for me to always adapt them if they are pretty big changes to the fundamentals of the story. So, I hope I don't sound like a jerk, and that my thoughts made sense. You definitely didn't talk too much, on the contrary I'm very sorry for the super long response! I do hope that you get a chance to check out my other stories, and that you like them. At its core, my main series is a gentle romance, so if you're a fan of that then you might enjoy it. Feel free to let me know your thoughts, if you're so inclined, and I hope you enjoy the next chapter of this story! Thanks again for your reviews.
