Were you a fan of the show Community? There's an episode where the Dean of the college is watching a YouTube video with a Dalmation Furry and says "Hmm… This better not awaken anything in me..."

That's kind of where I am right now.

I'm a writer as well, and was researching something for a completely unrelated (to Fetish) project, when I came across Part 4 of this story. I don't remember what chapter it was, or the keywords I used to get there, only that I finished reading it, and then next chapter, and then the next, and then thought "Okay, I feel like I would appreciate this more if I started from the beginning..."

And now here I am, having marathoned through it all, including a re-read of those initial chapters I had stumbled on.

Bravo, man.

For context, I didn't realize "Giantess" was even a fetish, at least not to the degree that communities like this existed, beyond a cursory Rule #34 way and some DeviantArt pages I had seen. I’m not even sure how it “works,” beyond a vivid imagination. (Are there super hi-rez close-ups of pinky toes that people bow down in front of their 4K screens to worship?)

But not only did something about this speak to me in a way I didn't know about myself, like others here, I felt compelled to create an account to tell you as much.

Carly is a fantastic character. I could see how initially your plans for her and the story weren’t quite as epic as they turned out to be, but really appreciated how you still mined those early chapters for things you used later. It was obvious how much fun you had writing certain scenes, and how much our sexual predilections (and boundaries for where and where not to take them..) seem to align. It’s commendable how you used both the flashbacks and hallucinations as methods of covering ground you weren’t otherwise able to, and you also have a knack for choosing the exact right word.

By the end, I realized that I didn't want to see Carly diminished in any way, even as I knew why it had to be done, narratively.

Reading though all these comments now, I didn't expect to read so many people wanting her to get her comuppance. This is, ostensibly, erotica. So the fact that you had folks so caught up in the characters that they didn't want to see the fetishistic aspects continue should be a tremendous compliment. I thought there would be more of a universal desire to see Jack continue to be tortured by her feet as fait accompli, if not outright desire, but I suppose that wasn’t as important to some as the rules of the 3-act structure they feel comfortable with.

As for myself, it’s all about the psychological aspects. To be honest, I’m not even sure the GTS stuff is what touched me in the loins, or if that was merely a vehicle to establish the dynamic of one person mentally breaking down another until they saw them as a God. I’m not going to Monday-morning quarterback you because it annoys me when readers tell authors what they should have done, but the way you’ve left things certainly could result in more of that. It might be interesting to see a “Cult of Carly,"  but one consistent thing about the piece in general is that it never quite does the expected, and that’s the best thing a reader can hope for. I like everything up until now, I’m sure if it continues with more of your personal tastes and ideology, I’ll be pleased with whats in store, too.

It just sucks that I — by complete coincidence — discovered this story and this site itself right when you finished up the most recent “Book,” and will now have to wait around like everyone else has had to over the years since you first started.

Fortunately from reading the feedback, I’ve learned that you’ve actually created a shared universe, and there are other stories in this world I can check out to hold me over.

(Who am I kidding. There goes the weekend…)

appreciated and respected

On one hand, you wanna root for Jack and hope he overcomes his need to be a toy and underfoot of a goddess since he is our main character, but on the other, the parts of this series where he is worshiping feet and devoting himself to them, especially the scene where he wholely devoted himself to Carly right before Sophie saved him in the third story of the series were some of the best parts of this series. As for the ending of this chapter, you've left us with quite a cliff hanger and I can't wait to read what happens next. Thanks for the update, eager to see what happens next.

Ah, I guess maybe it was something I did.

Thanks for the link, that's perfect!

You're right, it might be simpler to just do it as a "What If?," as that also lets you go full tilt with the concept without having to worry about ramifictaions in the story proper.

Or to put it another way, you wouldn't need to worry about the narrative, so you would be free to explore ideas and play them out as far as you want without having to tie it all up with a nice bow. If Jack never needs to be "free," his desires could outmatch Carly's, adulation above and beyond what she ever anticipated or expacted. Perhaps she catches him praying to her, or, of his own volition, he might stop using her name because it blasphemes.

And then what would that do to Carly? Would it fuel her ego even more, where maybe she no longer calls him "little bro" as a means of control, but for her own sake, to remind herself that he's still human? Or would she go the other way, and become the more rational of the siblings in that scenario, "be careful what you wish for?" The dichotomy of him being her brother and yet also something she owns is an interesting one.

Anyway, sorry to ramble. I've got some reading to do...

I was going to say that if you aren't careful, people are going to start demanding another "What If" novella based on the "Forever Hers" Chapter 7 alternate alternate timeline when you finish this one.

But it occurs that the current one is sort of the necessary "conversion" point. If it had gone the Chapter 7 way, Carly wouldn't have gotten that taste of sadism that Jack was conditioned to need. There would be foot and mouth play, sure, but it would have been a more loving dynamic between relative equals, without Carly's deification.

I mean, if given a choice, would Jack really go back and do it over, consenting from the start? Or were those years under her heel necessary for each sibling to acknowledge just how much they were getting out of their respective roles, the one that God in his grace corrected for them?
