Title: Chapter 1: Date Night
I just.... There’s a few stories on this site that completely cut through all the “pulpy” hedonistic erotica, and cross over into novelistic territory based on the level of story, character development etc... This in my opinion is the absolute best of them, this is basically a high quality novella, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you using your talent for this niche. You can legitimately feel the emotions of every character from the amount of effort and skill you put into each chapter. Once this is over, it’s definitely going to be a story I can come back to and read over again, several times. Which is not something I thought I’d ever say about any story on here. Anyway just wanted to voice my support like everybody else I guess.
...
(In case you thought I wasn’t a deviant like everyone else on this site.) In this “What If” spin off with Marcelle, might we expect more intense butt related stuff? I agree with many others reviews that it’s nice to have this story that really gets to the heart and philosophy of what it would actually be like to be tiny in the real world, and dabbling in the fetish accepts but not focusing on them, it’s very refreshing. That being said, obviously the amount of realism you’ve put into this story makes the fetish stuff hit so much harder. The part where Blair ran with Tanner in her waistband and he fell in, despite being pretty tame comparatively to other things on this site, it was incredibly immersive and gripping because
the world feels so real. The characters are so fleshed out and we’ve invested so much time getting to know their emotions and the way they think. Anyway I’m rambling now, sorry, really I hope that with the “What If” spin off you fully indulge whatever kinks you enjoy cause I’m sure it’ll be fantastic if that’s the case. I’m very hyped to see how the main story wraps up, and it’s been an emotional, fun, mesmerizing and honestly thought-provoking ride.
Author's Response:
It's always odd to me to read such high praise coming from reviewers and I certainly appreciate it. I guess it's just the fact because I'm the author I'll always have a critical take to my own work where I'll read certain things over and find all the nitpicky things I would have changed, reworded, edited, etc. The beginning stages were a feeling out process and I'd say I didn't get a clear vision for what direction I wanted to take this story until the middle (when Tanner goes to stay with Blake's family).
The characters however I was pretty adamant about wanting them to serve a purpose. Tanner, Ingrid, and Ivory were the original trio planned from the start. Prominent later additions Blake, Marcelle, & Gail to even minor characters I wanted to have a clear idea of who they were, personality, etc. to justify their inclusion in the story. Even for the chapters that I harder time writing, thinking of their personalities gave me some framework to where I could imagine for instance how Ingrid would react to a situation versus how Gail would react.
For the Marcelle spin off, at this point maybe, maybe not. I roughly outlined a few things and have a general idea of what her modus operandi would be for handling Tanner. I haven't worked out completely what specifically I'd have her doing to him though. As you noted though, I like the opportunity to let the imagination go wild for a bit, throwing a lot of paint on the wall to see what sticks.
Thanks for the review!
