Bio:

Hello! My name is Saftkeur. Some may recognize me as a 3D artist with a focus on tongues, size, and vore, but I also enjoy writing! And, though I have little to show yet, I hope I can contribute some of my stories to the community here.


Regarding some of my interests...


I am of course a big fan of macro/micro content, both giantesses and shrunken people; often the latter, the thought of being tiny enough to turn a normal room into a landscape all its own is very exciting. My interest in tongues has led me to very much enjoy scenes of licking and mouth play, as well as vore; I also very much love scenarios of food play, tiny humans being inserted into sandwiches or other food items as a form of teasing, toying, or simply for the enjoyment of whoever is placing them in such a situation. Mmm!~


Though I do enjoy that sense of the smaller party being completely and utterly overwhelmed, gentle or at least mostly harmless interactions are important to me, and non-fatal above all else. That said, I don't actually mind painless digestion in vore, so long as there is reformation of some sort involved; if everyone is alive and well at the end of the story, I still consider it to be non-fatal. Much of my own writing tends towards this sort of scenario, and all of it is always non-fatal, unless I warn otherwise. Fatal content bothers me a lot when I'm reading, to a point of becoming borderline traumatic when it comes unexpectedly, so I try my hardest to avoid putting anyone else into the same situation!


For now I'm mostly here to browse and enjoy the work of others, but hopefully I can have some small pieces of work to share as well. In the meantime, do please browse my galleries if you enjoy this sort of content. ^_^

Lovely writing, and very cute all around! I haven't yet read all of the scenarios/chapters - admittedly, I sought out the ones with mouth- and food-play ahead of any else - but I liked all of what I did read, and I'll have to find the time later to read the others. Aside from enjoying the mouth- and food-play scenes especially, I really liked the overall gentleness and affection, just very enjoyable to read and nearly exactly what I'd like to imagine experiencing myself. ^_^

Absolutely loved this one! So perfect, in so many ways; the utter gentleness and care and trust between them, yet still pushing to the edge of what is safe. I think that is what I liked the most about it; toying with someone so small and fragile in one's mouth is such a dangerous prospect, but the care and trust between them both makes it feel so incredibly safe and even calm.

Also, despite the challenge first-person perspective usually gives, it works well here; a little awkward to read at the very start, but by the time I was halfway down the page I was into it, and not even thinking about the perspective at all. It didn't even occur to me again that it was in first-person until I'd finished and started to write this, actually!

And a good ending too, as "happily ever after" as you can get without actually using that annoying cliche to tie it up. I'll be eagerly looking forward to more if and when it comes, but the lack of cliffhangers will make it a much easier wait. ^^

 



Author's Response:

Real glad you liked it. The implied danger and gentleness was what interested me in writing it. I'm guessing you mean 2nd person? I don't write in it often, but it can have its advantages.

Ah, yes! That is what I meant. I get 1st- and 2nd-person mixed up at times, realized my mistake a bit late. ^^;

Such a mean-spirited girl, even if she is as gentle as can be with him! An enjoyable read all the same, if at Jay's expense. :P Love the little bit of foodplay involved too, that's always been another personal favorite.

You have such a variety of descriptions for everything, too! Some of them do occasionally feel a little overdone, but the detail is always welcome. Nicely written overall, and thank you for suggesting it to me, it does fit nicely into what I'm comfortable with.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading this one too. I often go pretty heavy on descriptions, and this one especially I was really trying to lay it on thick.

Quite fun! Gentle/harmless mouthplay is a favorite of mine, and the teasing is a nice bonus. Short, simple, but plenty of detail and some really nice descriptions, I enjoyed reading it. :)



Author's Response:

Thanks! I had a quite a bit of fun writing this, and I totally agree with the gentle teasing making this a lot more fun. Thanks for the review.

Summary:

Tiny young men are usually sold to people that can afford them, and people that use them for very specific, usually nasty reasons. Our hero, however, ends up with a different sort of owner and those two might have more in common than they thought. Read through his journal as he gets to experience the life of a tiny.

What a cute story! Yes, there's some mistakes in the syntax and pacing, but none of it is terribly important; the story itself is still perfectly fine, and I enjoyed reading it. The relationship between them is cute, and Marissa's gentleness and protectiveness is very sweet!



Author's Response:

Hey thank you very much :D It's an honor to receive a comment for you, as I've been following you for quite a few years on deviantart. I really enjoy your work and all those long-tongued girls you present us :P It's something that influenced me a lot in my writing, and it shows greatly in the other story I've posted here, if you're curious :) And I'm glad the story still works fine xD It's something that weighs heavily on my mind, not being able to render a story I mean. I will also intertwine two websites together and deeply thank you for the favorites on dA ;P I hope you enjoyed them just as much as this one :)

Thanks again, and take care of you! :D Hope to see you soon!

Summary:

Darcy and her best friend Andrew are roommates, things couldn't be going better- but when Andrew shrinks down to the size of her thumb, things change. Big decisions have to be made, hidden secrets are brought out to the open, and the two inseparable friends may part ways. Can Andrew and Darcy stay close during the curveballs that life throws their way?

 

FULL DISCLAIMER:

So, this story will start out slow. This was more a writting exercise a bit of 'barbaric yawp' for me, so it starts out sparse on the GTS content in the first half, but I promise that it will pick up in the second. The story is mostly written, so please, I hope you can stick with me and enjoy this story for what it is. Thanks, guys and gals. -vt

I just love the way this story's been going! By far my favorite element though is their relationshipp; the way Darcy fantasizes about Andrew, and yet never forgets that he's still a person. The awkwardness of them trying to make this work between them, fun and sexy but without glossing over the literally massive difficulties of their interactions. There are those little moments where it's almost a tease for the reader, moments where other stories might push realism/plausibility a little to one side to allow for more indulgence in these fantasies, but then the story itself makes up for all of that.

I'm looking forward to the rest!



Author's Response: Thank you very much, saft! I really tried to focus on their relationship rather than just size dynamic and I also focused on how a couple might reaaaaalllllly act if they were put in a situation like Darcy and Andrew are in now. Thank you very much for your input and insights! Thank you for reading! :)

What a lovely climax, in every sense of the word! I know I've spoken to the same means before, but it's a shame that such romantic plots aren't toyed with more often, especially those that pay heed to the challenges of size along with the benefits.

I'll be looking forward to the epilogue for that same reason, as well!



Author's Response: Thank you very much, Saft! I really appreciate your feedback and support of the plot. I was worried that it wouldn't o over well but I'm very to have found a few supporters. Expect the epilogue shorty. Thank you again so much for reading and your support! :)

A cute story thus far! I'm already quite liking Flavia, despite her nature as a predator she seems like a very sweet and gentle person. I'll try to keep an eye on this one as it progresses!



Author's Response:

Oh, Flavia is most certainly dangerous. She has difficulties to control her predatory instinct towards such delicious looking tiny persons xD But out there, in the wild, not only will she control herself, but she'll also discover the true valor of friendship :) I'm really glad you liked it!

Summary:

This is a collection of short stories that involve the characters of my other story, Right Under Her Nose. 

I have a sequel planned, but by indirect suggestion of one of the readers, I decided to have some fun with these characters before throwing them back into a longer tale. Thus, this collection was born.

Each chapter will be a seperate story, but the time presented is linear- IE, chapter 1 happens, then chapter 2, etc.

Tags will be added as the collection grows, and relevant tags will be added at the front of each story.

Such a cute and fun chapter, as they always seem to be! I wouldn't consider myself to be a fan of feet, but it's just too nice not to enjoy here; not overdone, enough plot still to drive you along, and I especially like that we can feel as though we're watching these two really exploring their relationship.

Some minor details: Andrew's name appears to change to Matt once in the story, and there's a couple of words that seem to be out-of-place (words that, I suspect, escaped those tell-tale red lines by virtue of being a different word altogether). They're few and far between, but do stand out a bit due to that very contrast.

All in all another chapter worth the wait, and once again leaving me impatiently waiting for the next!



Author's Response: This was an absurdly fun chapter to write- I loved exploring with these two and it's been fulfilling to see such a warm reaction to it. More shorts to come! Thank you so much for reading and supporting, Saft :)

A lovely little chapter. I'll forgive you this one time for not sating the needs of the fetish-hungering masses.

A welcome chapter, and I'm glad you decided to add it in after all; it's these small, but meaningful interactions that deepen the story and make it feel that much more real.



Author's Response:

lol, well thank you for your forgiveness on the lack of fetish content :) It was gonna go that way in early versions in my head (walking along toes and legs amd the like), but i decided i wanted to focus more on the relationship between the two.

Needless to say, I liked it! And the return to Darcy and Andrew is a sweet one as well.

This is such a cute story! Mini-giantess stuff is slowly beginning to grow on me, and I have to say this one sped up that process considerably. The thought of this sort of size difference being almost mundane within this world is quite appealing, too. There's little to suggest that either Alphas or Betas are particularly at a disadvantage here, some things are just too small or too big for some of them, that's all.

(just to note, there's a couple of unclosed quote marks in the story, I think mostly towards the middle and end. Looks to be all good otherwise!)



Author's Response: Thanks Saft! It was cool to write a different size genre- and I think You're right, it does feel like a nonissue. Thanks so much for reading and supporting!

A cute story thus far! I love the premise, and Mina is already incredibly endearing. I'll be looking forward to more!

One tiny nitpick thus far is actually just one word (see if you can guess what it is). That's right, pulchritudinous; it gave me a little laugh to see such an odd word thrown in there, but it also perhaps goes without saying that it gets in the way of the immersion, when the reader has to head to Google to learn what it even means. On that note as well, the definition appears to not just be a synonym for "beautiful"; it's a word that's only used to describe people, so I'm not sure if it's grammatically correct to use it in describing a body part. Though I do have you to thank for introducing me to the word, now!



Author's Response:

Fair point. To be honest, I was unsure if I was using it correctly. I think I was just tired of using the same synonyms for "beautiful" and "big" so I dug deeper into my vocabulary. Glad you're enjoying the story otherwise.

Quite the exciting (and terrifying) predicament! I don't think I've mentioned it as of yet, but this seems a good time to say that I despise Diamonda. Wishful thinking even in a setting like this, perhaps, but I for one would enjoy it very much to see Diamonda find herself on the small end of the scale for a change. If she wants to be the center of attention so badly, that would do the trick! :P

But more seriously. I have been enjoying this story, how sweet and fun the relationship between Mina and Sapphire has become especially. Diamonda does indeed make me nervous with every interaction, but besides that, I look forward to each chapter! And I'll be looking forward to seeing how Mina and Sapphire get through this little "difficulty" they've gotten into. (well, it's mostly Mina doing the getting into part of that.)

Reviewer: Saftkeur Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: April 12 2017 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11

Ah, what an interesting chapter! The interactions between Mina, Sapphire, and Eulalia were sweet, and I'm quite a sucker for friendlier relationships. It's nice to see how Eulalia's already come to accept her tiny daughter's choices, whether she agrees with them or not.

And of course there's the next part, the appearance of other such folk... a very interesting twist, and not one I would have expected! I especially like how prepared they seem to be; even despite the one major accident, the fact that they seem prepared to recover from that too is a welcome surprise. It's my own personal bias for sure, but I feel like in such situations, it can be a little too easy to just let one get "sacrificed" for little purpose other than indulgence, when it otherwise has no bearing upon the plot. Having it be a (presumably) non-fatal encounter serves in this way to show off the fae-folk's ingenuity and resourcefulness, as well as still showing off the dangers they face at such size.

And yes, it's still a nice bit of indulgence, I won't deny nor complain about that. :P But it's good to see it included in a way that - at least by my own view - is tactful with regards to the plot. But I'm wandering off onto a different topic.

All in all I've been enjoying this whole story a lot, the mix of danger along with what is ultimately gentle and lighthearted. Of course I have no idea what twists and turns you might have in mind, still, but regardless, I've enjoyed what's been written. :)



Author's Response:

Yes, this story mainly exists for self-indulgence of my fantasies but I've done my best to balance that with the plot. Glad you appreciate it.

 

I'm also glad you liked the Eulalia section. I was unsure about it. Eulalia took a rather progressive view for the 1800s and I wasn't sure if it was believable. But I couldn't see her rejecting Mina after they were finally reunited.

 Yeah, nothing wrong with that, it's how I would write. Self-indulgence is a pretty big reason a lot of people are here in the first place, I feel. If everyone wanted to cater to a larger crowd, writing giantess smut is already counter-productive to that. :P

And I think Eulalia's stance still makes sense. That sort of progressiveness might not have been common in the 1800s, but I can't imagine it being absent entirely. And on top of all that... she has a daughter who can fit in the palm of her hand. I feel like that alone would require some open-mindedness to accept.

Anyway I just love the whole thing, keep doing you! I read through some of the reviews on your previous work and saw some of the complaints you've gotten from "helpful critics", I'm sorry you've had to put up with that (and I hope I'm not coming across as demanding or anything either). I for one am grateful to see a writer who shares the same view as me, in that a story can be gentle and lighter in tone, and still convey all the depth and impact and suspense it could need to make a compelling read. If a writer's can't make their story interesting without killing off a character every time, maybe their writing needs a bit of work elsewhere. ^^;

What a great wrap-up to the story! I had a lot of fun reading it, the characters were lovable (well, the ones that were intended to be anyway!) and the plot played out nicely. I'm especially happy with how you managed to fit in all of these little kink scenes, but without the story being derailed or the characters' personalities having to take a back seat; if anything, it only added to their stories.



Author's Response:

Thanks! That's usually my goal with these stories -- indulge my kinks and fantasies but make sure it all still works as a story.

Just great! I've had my eye on this story ever since I saw it go by on the main page, but I put off on reading it until now; worth the wait, and I wish I'd gone to it earlier. I love the gentleness of it all, while still finding room for other indulgences (mouth play and vore of the non-fatal variety are two favorites of mine, but sometimes feel like rarities).

I have to say, I especially appreciated that Jake had some depth to him, too. The confidence and even stubbornness despite his size is a nice element, not scared of these giants that surround him but not completely stupid and naive either. It's a good little touch that makes him more compelling than the average tiny character who's mostly meant to be the reader's self-insert. And on that note, telling the story from the two girls' perspectives was another nice touch, when it would have been so easy to do it all from Jake's perspective instead; easy, but likely a little shallow in comparison.

All in all an enjoyable read, thank you for sharing!



Author's Response:

Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

When I wrote Jake I tried to write him as someone who had lots of experience with giants already, and so not only would he be unafraid, but he would have a mature outlook on his own situation as a tiny. I felt that sticking strictly to the perspectives of the girls was necessary because ultimately the story is about them and their prejudices and insecurities. Jake's actions and attitudes are critical, of course, but he's not the one undergoing a change - he's already comfortable with himself and his situation. This arrangement (experienced tiny with inexperienced giantess(es)) is the opposite of a lot of stories on here, and I felt it was worth exploring. That said, though, I have some ideas for a story or two that could show how Jake became so hardy and unflappable.
