Very late to the party on this but better late than never. What an excellent story Nyx. The absolute cruelty on display is something that both terrified and enthralled me all the way through. Major kudos to you, your writing kept me reading even if the sizes were for the most part much smaller than my preferred range. As I said, just awesome job.



Author's Response:

Thanks! I like extreme size differences as well, although I have a hard time writing nano/giga stories for whatever reason. I'm glad that you liked it! :D

I love this story, the Tyrant is a great character, and the sense of menace is palpable.

I was frustrated. Frustrated to not have more to read.
At first, i was unsettled. The term Tyrant sounded so unfamiliar, so harsh sounding...
and, as the story unfolded...
i found myself giving it an entirely new definition.

Yes. She is a Tyrant. There's will and intent in each of her moves.
Her being a woman doesn't make her less of a Tyrant than any other actual male Tyrant there is on this planet.
Yet... she definitely is something else. It's a fascinating character.
Ambrose has a morbid fascination for her, to the point where
he merely questions her action let alone asks "why?".

Because he has already lost. Everyone has.

And this feeling, this hopelessness... this poised and oppressive atmospehere... you perfectly rendered.
The Tyrant is all powerful. She crosses each and every boundaries, walks on every birthing hope and yet... the worst is that she's already win. She always will and hope, just like any other emotion she has control over, belongs to her.

1984 sure was a great inspiration. But you managed to break it down into its most powerful ideas and inject them into your writing, giving them an entire new meaning. What happens is less a state of permanent war than a constant fear imposed on each and every human. Especially when the Tyran's not here.

All in all, i was hooked, from the very first word to the last.
Now there's a Tyrant in my head and i'll likely find a naughty
pleasure in figuring out these:
- Why has she choosen him?
- Has she done this before?
- How utterly bored can she be?
- How sweet will be the moment when Ambrose, his mind entirely filled with hers, will willingly crush every last bit of humanity he's still left for her sake, opening the way for a casual disposal of his body?

Thank you for writing this story. And i insist : story.
It now has its special place in my heart next to grilrig's, poisen pen's, taedis's, aborigengts's and so many other great writers...

Cool, that's kinda what I thought about the Tyrant. I'm glad you did it that way, leaves it open to interpretation, or maybe a potential sequel. It certainly seems like she is either more forgiving with Ambrose, or had that planned the whole time.

I'd like to see where this could go after what's happend. Ambrose should hate her, but is obviously attracted to her. She seems to like playing with him more mentaly than physically torturing him for now.

Damn that was a great story, I've been trying to write something like that for a while. It was amazing how the whole world was set up just to please her. The only thing bad about this story is I wan't more! I was wondering if the Tyrant had special feelings for Ambrose or if conviding in the Assistent about her past is something she always did. 



Author's Response:

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I'm a fan of dystopian worlds, especially ones where giants/giantesses terrorize tiny people, and half the fun of writing this story was creating the setting. In terms of the Tyrant's feelings for Ambrose, it's difficult to tell (she could genuinely care for him or she could be playing around with him like she does to everyone else).

I've tried a couple of times to write a story about what happens after a Giantess subjugates humanity and rules over it with an iron fist.  I always get stuck thinking of interesting scenarios beyond "she crushes people."

Man, am I glad that you don't have the same problem!

I really hope you flesh out this universe a bit more.  Perhaps a prequel with the Tyrant's initial rampage and first years of rule? 



Author's Response:

I always read stories about giant people destroying cities and I wondered, “So what exactly do they do after they’ve caused mass mayhem?” That was sort of what inspired this story. A prequel is certainly possible…I like the thought of exploring the woman who became the Tyrant.

Originally, I imagined this as a standalone story, but a sequel is possible.

@Stubbornstain, you're missunderstanding the word 'Tyrant', man. It means someone who is unrestricted in his/her rule. The giantess here is the definition of a Tyrant.

Also, when someone thinks 'Tyrant', he ought to think Caesar instead of modern leaders.

Anyway, this was a very interesting read, Nyx! I must admit though, I think that because of the writing style, you've written this much earlier?



Author's Response:

Thanks! This story is one of those stories that I've been working on forever. I play with different styles from one story to another, trying to test out new things. Sometimes my writing experiments work out well and sometimes they don't. Anyway, thanks again :)

The final chapter was unexpected. I'm not usually a fan of violent stories, I have to say. Somehow this story kept me interested. Guess I wasn't the only person to think of Nineteen-Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Thanks for sharing.

For Washington D.C. it’s “capital” not “capitol”. Capitol is the name of one of the buildings in the city whereas “capital” refers to a city. I do wonder what happened in The Time Before and how things came to be, but at the same time I enjoy the mystery. It would make for an interesting read of course. I would also like to know how she could deft nuclear bombs because I’m struggling to get my head around that. Is she alien?

 

The fact that she is pleasured by death and destruction adds an interesting twist to the story. It’s something I didn’t expect and didn’t expect to appreciate as much as I have. The description you have provided is certainly better than the vast majority of stores on this website.

I really enjoyed this first chapter, but rather than leave my review at that I have some comments to make:

 

I am questioning the use of the word “Tyrant”. Using the word is an acknowledgement that she is a bad leader. She wouldn’t allow anybody to call her “Tyrant”. If we look at examples of real “Tyrants” we see people who are convinced they are good people. However I feel it necessary to define the term.

 

By “Tyrant” I mean a despot. People might point to the leaders of Communist parties but I don’t think they are true tyrants and they are nothing like the women in your story. Communist parties tend to be very bureaucratic in nature.  And thus, their leaders tend to be somewhat limited in their capacity and may only act as figureheads, as is the case with DPRK (North Korea) today (because, let’s face it, Kim Jong Un isn’t really in control; he’s too inexperienced). Communist parties tend to have committees of people doing most of the decision making.

 

A much better example than a ruling Communist party is Maummar Gaddafi of Libya. He is a much better example of a tyrant, in my opinion. He did his best to eliminate bureaucracy and weaken the Libyan institutions he inherited so that h could not be limited by the people around him. Amoungst other disastrous decisions, he expelled all the Italians form Libya, but he remained convinced that he was good leader and that everyone loved him until his death.

 

Which leads me to my next point: The name “Tyrant” seems too obvious. It’s as if there has been no attempt to brainwash people. A much better name would be a name that at least gives the illusion that she is not a tyrant. Letting people get away with using the name “Tyrant” is an admission that she is a bad person, when I’m sure she doesn’t see it that way.

 

I am sure she thinks that she is doing just fine. She seems like a person who doesn’t acknowledge the problems that do exist. And - dare I say it - the name tyrant may even be a tad cliché. Then again, the story follows Ambrose, the Assistant, so I guess you could get away with using “Tyrant”.

 

Moving onto the journal now - I think this was a nice addition. The time skips not so much though. I would have preferred less time skips and maybe have the chapter split in that case (to compensate for the added detail).

 

Here:

“He paused on the threshold of the vast doorway,”

 

That gave me the impression that the little people use the same doors as her. Is this correct? If so, surely it would make more sense if the little people had their own doors. For example, there might be a door within a door or smaller doors either side of a larger door. Also, you never told us why Ambrose was expected to go to the personal quarters in the first place.

 

The scene where she rolls over on top of the men was particularly poignant. It’s quite symbolic. The description here definitely had the desired effect. The image is still playing in my mind. Then, the ground shaking because of her pleasuring herself sent chills down my spine.

Merciless and delectable, as always. I wonder if Ambrose isn't the first such Assistant to receive the honor of the Tyrant's special attention. If she ever goes through with the notion of granting him the power of increasing his size, I quite imagine Sophia will be featured in his initiation. 



Author's Response:

I don't think that I'm capable of writing about merciful giants/giantesses, I'm afraid. Ambrose probably isn't the first Assistant to capture the Tyrant's attention...she's fond of messing with people. I suppose that when one is immortal and has godlike powers, he/she needs to keep themselves entertained somehow. It would be interesting to see what Ambrose would do, given similar abilities. Perhaps he'd keep his humanity and refuse to play her games. Or perhaps he'd be as bad as the Tyrant.

I´m sorry for my language but my english is limited and I can´t communicate my ideas fine. I hope you understand.

Fabulosa historia. Y, aunque, siento que la descrpción se quede algo corta de lo que realmente quisiera describir, creo que no hay mejor frase para escribir algo más cercano a lo que creo que es tu escrito.

No soy un gran fan de la violencia en si. Más bien, me gusta ver las circunstancias que rodean dicho acto, normalmente esta dividida en dos categorias: la actitud del personaje que infrige el acto violento o la inconciencia de la acción. Y debo decir que, ante mis ojos, manejastes al personaje de "Tyrant" de manera inolviadble. Cada acto que infrigia a sus vitimas se ve envuelto de tanta indiferencia, salpicada de un sadismo satisfactorio, que me mantuvo leyendo en imperiosa inquicisión cada nueva escena en la que acesinaba de manera deliverada a sus indefensas victimas. Me gusto ver los actos, que para otros hubiesen sido totalmente morboso y sadicos, tratados de manera casi aburrida por su persona.

El manejo de "Ambrose" también fue algo que recordare. En casi todos las historias del sitío, este tipo de personajes que tiene que lidiar con parsonas como "Tyrant" siempre parecen dispuesto a interponerse o recistir ante estos personaje; pero tu historia abarca lo que llevo fantaseando por mucho tiempo: un hombre que siente tanto miedo, con un toque de admiración, a un ser tan hermoso como destructivo. La verdad, la mayor parte de esto se le atribuye al escenerio, pero es otra parte de mi fantasia que llevo queriendo ver en una historia: un ser poderoso e imponente, dominado a una especie, sin nadie que la detenga. Pero, las escenas que mustran que realmente siente remordimiento, pena y verguenza al sentirse tan imponenete precenciando los actos de "Tyrant", sin poder hacer nada para ayudar a las pobres victimas, son los que más funcionan para darle una personalidad más alla de la simple sumisión. Y los momentos en que comenzaba a dar mustra de verdadero valor y valentía al enfrentarse al ser que tanto teme le dan un aspecto más sobresaliente del que tendria si fuera un sumiso más. En serio que me agrado que sintiera que aún habia vestijios de esperanza para derrotar al ser que lo a tratado más que un simple "Asistente", creyendo que el destino de la gente estaba sobre sus hombros, sin que el trato casi preferencial con el que "Tyrant" lo a mantenido sea un incentivo a haber renunciado.

Pero, lo que hace que esta historia me resulte tan satisfactoria es la relación que hay entre los dos personajes. Como describes a "Ambrose" (si interprete bien al traductor Google) das a entender que es la clase de chico que las mujeres no verían ni de reojo al momento de escoger pareja; y ese es el motivo por el que me atrajo tanto su relación. Además de su personalidad vondadosa, siempre me estuve preguntando ¿por qué, de entre todas las personas, "Ambrose"? Una "Divinidad" que ni siquiera los adjetivos más poeticos podrían describir la belleza y el poder de ella sin sonar como eufenismos, queriendo entablar una conversación con un hombre que distancia mucho de los adjetivos "interesante" y "guapo", el algo que me fascino. Todo lo que pude hacer durante toda la historia fue especular las razones: necesita a alguien para compartir sus pensamientos, vee en "Ambrose" algo que resalta de las demás personas, o fue una simple coincidencia. La frase que Jones suelta para tratar de enclarecer la situación de esta relación; parece que le gustas, Ambrose, solo me deja más preguntas.

Todo esto es desde mi punto de vista. 

Ojala y quieras volver a retomar esta historia. Siento que merecería la pena intentar enfocarla en un desarrollo algo ás profundo, como por ejemplo, que Ambrosio indagara más en el pasado de "Tyrant", que ella comience a ser más abierta con el, o que ella quiera hacer más participe a "Ambrose" de sus crueles actos o a tomar su opinión más encuenta en ellos.

Si dejaras la historia hasta aquí, me sentiría algo desilucionado de que esto sera todo lo que veremos de esta relación, más sin embargo no me sentire insatisfecho con el resultado.

Si mi comentario te ofendio de algun modo, de antemano te ofresco una disculpa.

Sin nada más que añadir, me despido.

Bye :)
