I remember when I first tried reading this story a while back and for some reason it didn't quite appeal to me (then again, I only read the first half of the first chapter). 4 days ago, while I'm on vacation, I see an update too it. So, I decided to give it another shot and a more appropriate one then I did when I first tried it. In just little over a day, I finished all 25 chapters. I must say, this
is the greatest giantess story I have ever read.

Each character is unique. As mentioned previously in another review, they all
have distinctive personalities that have been developed excellently. The way we move from one character to the next prevents the story from sitting on one too long and getting stale. I like how while Marcelle can be very mean, but we see some humanity slip here and there. Especially when she begins to worry about Ingrid holding Tanner while she's drunk, or how she comments she's not a murderer. Or a bit of vice versa with Ingrid, with how she's depicted at first as a humane, loving sister who doesn't mind taking care of Tanner but some darkness slips when she's drunk, saying how she wants to squish Tanner. Then you have the whole flash back with her nearly killing him by suffocating him.

Which brings me to my next point, the story telling is excellent. Whenever I read these stories, I believe in the multiverse theory, thus what is happening is actually true, somewhere... It makes it more realistic to me. The way you constructed Tanner's dream with being big at first, but then shrinking and getting killed was fantastic. Really shows his physiological side especially after his mother said he wasn't normal which even stunned me (I really don't like political correctness, he's not actually normal, but it still struck a
note with me when she said that! Most maternal figures wouldn't do that which, again, makes her a unique one). I didn't expect you to make the dream work out,from any other story I have read it's usually a humongous exaggeration with cringe. But not this one, I actually felt his pain and then relief that he stopped at 3.5 inches. I can actually envision him jerking awake, its like a movie inside my head!

Also, I love it how you didn't provide any quick conclusion to what happened to Ingrid after she dropped him. How she doesn't say goodbye or apologize to Tanner before he leaves, or how we get a detail about how Tanner saw Marcelle helping Ingrid off the floor after she dropped him, barely moving meaning she passed out. We don't get her reaction, nothing is given and it creates a perfect cliff hanger to see their next interaction.

Finally, the confrontation with Ingrid after it. It was a nice emotional outburst from both parties, and it creates some tension about how Ingrid knows about Tanner's love for her but she doesn't feel the same way. I fantasized an alternative pathway
where Tanner took a more heavy approach with her. Instead, he would be making eye contact with her while she avoids it saying something like "I understand, it's not very easy to look into someone's eyes after you have almost murdered them twice." Or during the drunk rant Ingrid was giving him, how he may of said something like
"...but there is one thing I have that you never will, your own mother's love." Of course, I wouldn't expect that from him since he loves Ingrid. Also the fact that pissing off a drunk giantess wouldn't of been the best idea, I only wonder what her
reaction might of been in both senarios anyways... kind of a "You felt your sins crawling on your back moment..." or perhaps I'm just going off too big of a tangent :-).

All in all, this story strongly reminds me of the "Family is All" scene in breaking bad. Maybe not as intense, but a love with hate kind of thing, y'know?

Man, I just talk too much don't I?

I just really want to say is that you are a very talented writer. If you were to sell this as a book I would buy it. A great piece of work you constructed and I don't think any other literature in years will compete with what I just read. Then again, I do nothing but read fetish stories.

I would add this too my favourites but in order to do so for some reason I have to use the "tinyMCE" system which doesn't allow me to copy and paste. I have this review saved in a file because when I tried to retype it out in order to favourite the story it then told me I'm not authorized to post a review. Weird. I guess I'll wait until the next chapter!

Nice work, 10/10. I have high expectations for this.

Author's Response:

Wow, I appreciate that a lot. It's weird to hear praise like that since understandably I get critical of my own work and think back on chapters thinking of alternatives that may have been better, scenes, or dialogue I could've included.


The character line up is an area I'm really happy with and am glad several people ended up. Initially I envisioned the cast hardly going beyond the main trio of Tanner, Ingrid, and Ivory; but figured that would get very monotonous thus came Marcelle and Blake. Later on expanding on Blake's family with  Abel, Blair, and Gail. 


Marcelle particularly, represents for me to an extent the darker aspect to how I think a regular sized person would treat someone who Tanner's size. While I do think most people would at least try to be nice and considerate, Marcelle represents the more apathetic side. While she still recognizes his humanity to the point where she wouldn't kill him in cold blood, she does not see him as someone she needs to treat as an equal.
Funny thing you mention the multi-verse theory, since the whole setup with an intoxicated Ingrid harming Tanner was a scene I had planned long in advance, however in it's initial conception it was going to be Marcelle approaching Tanner and getting him drunk. Then following that Ingrid would appear and Tanner would confess his feelings in a... not so charming manner. Marcelle would then hide her alcohol in Ingrid's room for when the inevitable subject of where he gained access to alcohol occurred. I think I could've gotten some good mileage out of that, but trying  to conceptualize the aftermath where I intended to still have Tanner in the household with an obvious awkward tension with Ingrid wasn't coming together as I wanted. I'm happy with the route I went since it gave me reason to have more chapters with Blake and Gail who are both enjoyable to write.


Tanner's emotional outburst was another scene that was long planned in advance to give him a chance for an unrestricted vent and later evolved to give Ingrid a chance to let her grievances out too and foreshadow an upcoming conflict, that's been strongly hinted in Ingrid's flashbacks regarding her relationship to Ivory.


"...but there is one thing I have that you never will, your own mother's love." LOL. OUCH. Now I don't know if Ingrid would break into tears on the spot or punt Tanner across the floor with a comment like that. 
Thank you for the review, stay tuned.
