(Reposting this on the latest chapter!)

I LOVE your story and the way you write!

This might be a weird request but would you be down for writing an alternate custom story where Amber gets her hands on a new little plaything?

(Of course I'm willing to pay $$$ for this!)

Thank you

 



Author's Response:

Hey cxwaves, thank you for the kind words - I'm stoked you like the story so much!

I'm not a requests guy I'm afraid, I barely get around to updating my own story (or working on my own artwork) as it is, let alone commissioned work. I do *hugely* appreciate your show of faith in my abilities; it means I'm doing something right (I think), but unfortunately I must refuse the offer. That being said, feel free to contact me to explain what you like, your ideas, etc, if you're comfortable doing so without the guarantee of me actually doing anything - there is a chance I might get inspired and work it into GH-X2 or something similar down the line. Giantess City is a good place to throw me a message, just look for the member 'Imagin8' (obvz).

I admit, I second what "mullac" said in the previous review. I also enjoyed the Caitlin chapters because I liked the parts where Caitlin basically used him. Not exactly the parts where she hurt him, but the parts that became sexual. I know for Jack it was awful, but reading about it seems to interest me, and it feels kinda sexy.

I also liked the Penny chapters. She was nice, and is that girl that every guy wants to meet. I like her as a friend, but I like Caitlin for her desire for pleasure. That's the difference for me, and why I like both Alpha girls.

For this chapter, now that is a great backstory. It is sad, becuase in most stories, usually the kid is given the opportunity in the end. This story doesn't follow that tradition and it just leaves a sour taste in your mouth. Not exactly a happy ending.

It's like those poor parents who want their kid to stay with their family, but the kid gets an offer to study in some famous school far away from home.

It's also like in Star Wars when Luke wants to join his friends, but his uncle wants him to help out for the harvest. But since Luke's folks died, Luke got his adventure. Now imagine if his folks were alive...

Poor Jack, he enjoyed Penny at the same height. His dreams even are affected by ptsd. Even people in his dream grew. Now that's a nightmare.

I can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response:

The Caitlin chapters are 100% the masturbatory fantasy fuel - I'm not shocked to hear they're many peoples' favourite! Jack himself found them sexy too despite his fear, sexy *and* deeply traumatic... 

Caitlin and Penny are like two sides of my GTS 'coin', as I've explained in a few reviews here. It's interesting for me because in writing this story I've explored the two aspects of my fantasies side-by-side and juxtaposed them in one narrative. Sometimes I think 'if Caitlin was a bit gentler, she'd be perfect', other times I think 'if Penny was a bit stronger, she'd be perfect'. As this story slowly evolves, you should see some of this being explored.

The premise of Jack being stuck at a smaller size is integral to his mindset, it looks bleak... but, he's young and pessimistic, there is still time.

Dunno how to respond to an author's responce, so I'm writing another review (or was that your plan all along?! :o )

 

I'm not sure really - for me, the core thing I like about GTS is being completely dominated and unable to fight back, like a kind of femdom but fetish-ier.

That's what I really like about the Caitlin parts is she just does what she wants with him for her own pleasure.

 

To an extent though, I do like GTS who give at least  a bit of aftercare. The chapter where Caitlin just has Jack lay on her stomach while she feeds him is one of my favourites.

So I guess I just like GTS that's cruel-yet-loving - a giant tsundere, if you will



Author's Response:

Haha - yeah, writing another review is the easiest way to respond, I'm not deliberately trying to pad out the numbers though - I just like to talk about the story and find out what people think.

Caitlin is the femdom/domination fanservice character, a huge turn-on conceptually, and fetish-wise, sure, she's grade A material... however, one of my goals in writing this story was to explore how it would really feel to be dominated, good and bad. A lot of us here would sign up for Caitlin's sexual 'abuse' in a heartbeat, myself included, but I would have reservations about being treated as sub-human, and that would definitely colour the experience for me. If I actually felt like I was in danger, or being kidnapped, I would get desperate and scared, a whole side of me would view the kinky stuff in a far more sinister way - so I've channeled this through Jack's character.

A number of people have written in their reviews that they view Caitlin as a huge bitch, that she deserves some come-uppance, and she's crazy. I agree with that. Other people think she's the best thing since sliced bread, she's enormous, sexy, kinky, dominant etc. I agree with that too. She's both. 

Penny is a response to that other side of myself, the side that would love to have a giant girl who's on your side, treats you as an equal and is actually as human as you are, despite the size difference. I've seen gentle giantesses depicted who are caring, loving and understanding, but very few are flawed, fragile or vulnerable to any great extent, and that's *my* thinking behind her character anyway.

I just had a realisation, and I feel really selfish saying this, but I don't like Penny. I just find myself glazing over any paragraph which features her...  

 

Don't get me wrong, your writing's great! I just have a weird aversion to gentle giantess stuff



Author's Response:

You are forgiven, my son.

(Seriously, if it's not what you're into, I'm not expecting you to bother. If you're still reading this story *despite* that, then yeah, I'll take that as a compliment!)

Is it a generic dislike of gentle giantesses, or anything else more specifically? I'm not necessarily going to spice things up, I'm just interested to hear your opinion.

Had me throughout the whole thing.



Author's Response:

Glad to hear it! Show's not over, there will be more, though perhaps not for a while.

Another good chapter! That last line in the chapter really raises some flags, is he REALLY safe? Who knows? Anyway another quick thing I wanted to touch upon is the whole thing with his parents deciding not to give him the GH-X2. I agree with him mostly, I think it was a sort of selfish thing to do on the part of his parents. They subjected their kid to what is essentially a lifetime of hardships for their own "feel good" reasons. I dont think I would hate my parent's but I'd certainly be REALLY salty for the rest of my life if I was in his shoes. Perhaps Jack is a better person than I? Anyway, I hope you continue this soon!



Author's Response:

Exactly! Yeah, perhaps I laid it on a bit thick, but being safe is basically Jack's #1 priority now. Convincing himself he's safe is crucial, whether he is or not, as you rightly point out, is up for debate.

 

The issues surrounding Jack's parents opting out of GH-X2 have been explored a little, at least from Jack's childhood perspective, but it's not clear whether that's the full picture or not... yet! My aim for the middle section of this chapter was to delve into young Jack's realisation that he was not going to be like the other children, and the way that his mother chose to articulate it to her little boy. My intention was for it to be a little bittersweet, his mother's insistance that he is perfect just the way he is, versus the presumably unforeseen consequences of their decision. You have to feel sorry for the child, but it's also important to understand that his mother made the decision in good faith, safe in the knowledge that she and her husband made a life for themselves as Betas, and only wanted the same for their son.

Excellent mini giantess story! Bummer that Penny doesn't like him in the same way he likes her. Hopefully she comes around. And Caitlin...she needs serious therapy. The government really ought to have stronger laws/enforcement for Beta protection.



Author's Response:

Why thank you! You're one of my favourite writers. Your first two stories especially: Fyth Farmhand and Luna's Ascension, are both fantastic, so this feedback is extra special.

You're absolutely correct, the government should have better laws for Beta protection full stop, but this story references both historical and contemporary injustices that people face in our own world. It's not meant to be a political commentary or anything, just a kind of mirror held up to show a macrophile's angle on things, using a strong world-building plot device to allow for the kind of humiliation and dominance themes that I want to explore.
