I could simply go to your blog, lift my review of this story there, and paste it here. I’m not going to do that. I’m not even going to look at it, because I don’t need to. I’ve now re-read this (again), and love it just as much as I’ve loved it every time I read it. I’ve always wanted this. I’ve wanted to see this world shown to me by someone other than myself. A world where a tiny man and a woman are together, and have conversations, and display what they feel for each other in simple acts, like the act of feeding each other, the act of watching a screen together. It makes this world real. You make this world real.
Let’s go down the rabbit hole one more rung, shall we? Then, you make that conversation real. They are not talking about her giant lady parts, or his tiny man bits, and what they’re doing to each other. They are talking about normal things. That is… devastating to me. So delightful. It sends me right to that room, where I can see them (thus myself and my own little man) interacting in this way. By then I’m all ready for some sexiness, and it happens just in time, in just the right way. Lovely work, Aborigen.

This is what I've wanted. I've wanted a peaceful night with my giantess, tiny in her world, where she lets me do things for her. I can't dip a strawberry in molten chocolate and hold it for her to nibble at, but I could drag a sheet of thin-sliced charcuterie to her. I wanted to experience her broad face right before me like a building, feel how charmed she is by my efforts, feel her pleasure at my presence. And I've wanted that sense of danger, watching her mouth open wide before me, that moment of doubt as to whether she'll let me carry out my tedious chore or maybe she'll think it's funnier to sweep me into her mouth. I've wanted to do everything relying on that trust while constantly being reminded I'm on thin ice at every second, to know her love for me as a partner could be overriden by her love of her own power.
I've wanted that unknowing and that danger.
But also for this, I just wanted to peek in at an average night. It's already established and taken for granted that he's minuscule, they're long past their amazement but still wrapped in gratitude and looking forward to exploring what else is possible. All the mild things that take on a new sheen, rethinking the mundane and making them engaging all over again. I wanted a fragment of that for this. I'm so glad it meant as much to you as it did to me.

I just discovered this story.last chapter is epic super characters. I lost in tsunami of names but I got it rightly mostly. But I was Shaun I would have left with his mom and leave janice alone just to make her feel bad. I know it's cruel and she deserve it a lit.
PS Is shaun's dad dead.

I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! Yes, "Thanksgiving" was very complicated. I have a small stack of notes for myself as I tried to keep that all straight.
Yeah, maybe Janine needs a little alone-time until she learns to take Shaun more seriously. Still, her only fault was trusting her family...
And good eye, you. Shaun's father is still alive, but his parents divorced when Shaun was young. His father couldn't cope with the "shame" of raising a Tiny human and he fucked off. Shaun's had to learn to learn to be a decent guy without a healthy male role model. Janine's family embraces Shaun and Evelyn without reservation, fortunately.

Moving from the office to more domestic sceneries, I see! As always I enjoy your emotionally realistic writing, and especially the social commentary - usually whenever I see authors connecting GTS to 'feminist' concepts, it often becomes a caricature of worn-out stereotypes. You however manage to weave in these views and make them part of believable conversation.
Author's Response:
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I know it's a deviation from my old stuff that was more wordy and more salacious, but I wanted to explore size-different relationships and just look at ordinary days in those relationships. That's what makes the fantasy a little more real for me. Shaun was a bit heavy-handed in his social philosophy, but that was before I even thought this would be a series. I certainly didn't want to lapse into moralistic lecturing... "show, don't tell" after all. I'm glad you like how this turned out.
