A nice resolution to this story.

Ashley asking if anyone had an interesting day yesterday was pretty funny. That seemed to fit her character quite well (based on the admittedly brief encounter we were privillaged). So carefree, so ignorant.

That was a tense concluding scene, the one with Brittany almost killing Bobby. It was going to be a difficult task making Bobby relevant in the resolution, but you pulled it off quite nicely. Kim has really good timing, by the way.

As I said before, I never really considered Brittany to be the evil sort, so I'm glad to see her come around in the end. She really did seem like a good person at heart; she was just frustrated with the ways of the world, and ended up corrupted by the amazing power granted her by the shrinking powder. I think we can all relate.

I also laughed pretty hard when Brittany told Bobby he was only human. After all he went through (and all she put him through), it was brilliant to have her make light of the "Big Mistake".

Nice final line, by the way.

This is a pretty fun story, complete with a healthy dosage of dramatic element.  Every time it seems Bobby has found some form of salvation to cling to, you thoroughly deprive him of that hope and trap him in a worse situation.  It makes for a good rollercoaster ride.

The varying reactions of each of Bobby's three friends to finding him tiny showed the diverse personalities he hangs out with quite well.  From Kim's disbelief and anger, to Ashley's joking and whimsical nature, and even Krista's upbeat encouraging were all unique and well portrayed.

I really like how you've written Brittany.  She's wicked, but not necessarily evil.  She uses what little justification available to her in order to use the shrinking powder, but she's yet to intentionally hurt anybody.  Hell, she's even apologized to both Krista and Samantha for shrinking them.  The only one she's been truly cruel to is Bobby, and her delusional mind tells her that he deserves it.  I think it's wrong, but I can't in good conscience call that evil.

You've done a great job in establishing Bobby's sense of dread pertaining to his new size.  Reading of his exploits throughout the school, an aura of danger and disdain was carried in Bobby's thoughts and words.  His entire time in the band room sounded particularly torturous.

Another good story from you overall.

Summary: I'm in love with a girl named Brittany who doesnt give me much attention, until a jealous exboyfriend tries to shrink her and shrinks me instead. Now I'm in her care until we can find a way to unshrink me and stop him.

It's great to see this story going again.

I really enjoy the pacing of this story. The readers are thrown right into the fray, and just keep getting hit by one development after another. It produces the feeling that I'm going along with the ride, rather than processing what's happening. Lots of fun. I like the scenarios you set up, too.

None of these girls know how to conceal a tiny, which makes a lot of sense given the odds that any of them has ever done such a thing before. Continuing with that theme, it was cool to read about Bobby's less than comfortable accomodations in Brittany's purse. Despite her caring for Bobby, her ignorance of what he is going through causes him to suffer a bit. It also shows Bobby is a class act, since he didn't bring that up when he had the chance.

The first person perspective builds suspense exceptionally well throughout the story so far. I cringe everytime somebody sees Bobby, and his interactions (and attempts to avoid interactions) with giants (Brittany being the exception, of course) adds tension to the appropriate scenes. Bobby's descriptions of both actions and appearances are unique and interesting as well.

Candy finding Bobby was probably the worst possible outcome for him based on what little we know of the girls who hunted for him. She seems just a tad bit off. Oh well, I'm sure he'll be able to console himself with the knowledge that we, the readers, will be most entertained by what is to come.

This is an exciting and fun story. Please keep up the good work.

I like how you continue to get a lot of characters involved in the story.  Not only that, but each of them has their own niche which demands special attention from the reader.  This helps to suck the reader in whilst still allowing the story to progress at break neck speeds.  Very well done.

That was pretty slick how Bobby took advantage of Candy being in conversation.  That must have been pretty frustrating for her, knowing that her little toy was escaping but not being able to do anything about it.  Great scene.

Megan surprised me in the last chapter with her offer to help, then surprised me again with her general behavior in this one.  Now, nothing she does will surprise me, as I've labeled her an A1 nut job.  In any case, I'm hoping to see more from her, if for no other reason than to figure out what's up with her.

It's good to see Bobby and Brittany reunited.  I also like how it's guilt, rather than love that makes her so determined to help him.  He's had a crush on her all this time, and she doesn't even know his number.  It's nice to see you stay with your initial premise, seeing as how she hasn't really had that much time to get to know him.

I do believe this is the first chapter in the story not to leave us on a desperate cliff hanger.  You're losing your edge.

Reviewer: DrManhattan Signed
Date: June 16 2009 Title: Chapter 8: Out to lunch

Hey, you brought the cliff hanger back!

I like how naive Brittany is.  She couldn't imagine why someone would want to steal Bobby and make him their toy.  That means the thought never even crossed her mind.  That level of innocence is seldom seen in a giantess/shrinking story.

The rapport being built between Bobby and Brittany is pretty nice, too.  They aren't "getting to know each other", but they are definetly getting closer.  Being able to read how Brittany's presence is affecting Bobby through the first person perspective reinforces this sentiment.

Nice twist at the end of the chapter.  I certainly wasn't expecting to see Glen quite so soon.  I wonder what our heroic trio is going to do if they catch him and his friends.

Summary: As my average teenaged self, I find a little fairy in the grass and end up making friends with her, but then she makes me an interesting proposition and things get a little crazy...

Date: May 20 2009 Title: Chapter 17: A tiny predicament

I was wondering how Kim was going to get her hands on Bobby.  More importantly, I was curious to see what kind of person Kim actually was.  The cool thing is that I'm still not sure, especially with the way the chapter ended.  It's hard to tell whether she just likes to tease Bobby and is angry that he won't trust her, or if she is a legitimately cruel person.  Such ambiguity has me very anxious to read the next chapter.

I liked how Sarah felt she had to make sure everything was cool between her and Bobby in the car.  While Bobby wasn't too bothered by her eariy behavior, it didn't sit quite right with me.  It's good to know that, after coming to her senses, her previous actions really seemed wrong to her.  Of course, if she would have adhered to her promise of not playing with Bobby, not even a little bit, she wouldn't have lost him.  I'm sure she's freaking out right about now.

I can't stress enough how good you are at giving us readers Bobby's perspective.  Those little niches, such as his parts unknown comment and his babbling about the size of the mall building give his thoughts a greater sense of realism.  Keeping Jen as the dominant thought on his mind makes a lot of sense, too.  His descriptions continue to be great as well.

Maybe Bobby can take comfort in knowing that if he never grows back, that means Jen can stay big forever?

Oh, and one minor thing.  The word is terrified, not terrorfied.  Also, no rocket ship mentioning in this chapter?  What's up with that?



Author's Response: thanks, that does make more sense... i think i made a few typos in that chapter, glad youre liking the story though, and who knows, maybe rockets will come back...

Date: May 29 2009 Title: Chapter 20: My little finale

I gotta admit, I'm a little sad to see this story end.  I missed the previous chapter, so this review is going to be a bit longer than usual.  Deal with it.

Miniature Apologies was a very appropriate name for the second to last chapter.  It was nice to see Kim and Bobby patch things up somewhat gradually. I liked that bit about him fearing Kim was going to pull her hand away as he was about to step onto it.  It seemed like groundless paranoia until the history between the two was revealed.  After that, I couldn't really blame Bobby for having trust issues.  I still really liked Kim's character, despite the less than flattering revelation.

This addition also gave a whole new relevance to Sarah's friendship lecture from a couple of chapters ago.  It was really just an apology in advance for what she was about to do.  Brilliant foreshadowing.

I was thinking Kim was going to switch places with Bobby at the end of the story...right up until she said she would do it.  It was still a very poignant moment, though.

And now for the finale.  Yes, it was somewhat abrupt, but I wouldn't have brought it up if you yourself hadn't.  It really couldn't be helped.  Jen's story couldn't be brought to light any earlier, nor could Andy have been introduced until said story was revealed.  It was a lot to throw into one chapter, but it worked.  Besides, like you said, there was plenty of depth and loose end tying to make up for the abruptness.

In this chapter more than any other, you successfully demonstrated how insignificant three inches in height can be.  Bobby's attempts to find Jen and get her attention really drove home how pathetically small he was.  Though I would like to know where he found the strength to push that T.V. over, but that's just a knit pick.

You captured the conflicting emotions of both Bobby and Jen amazingly well in this chapter.  It was very involving to read their confrontation, and the reader can really feel for both the characters.  It also made the ending a lot more satisfying.  That ending was my second guess, by the way (no, seriously!).

I cracked up at the tea bags line.



Author's Response: Well Im certainly glad youve been a fan of this story for such a long time, and I wouldn't completely count this concept out... I may or may not make a sequel to this, I need some time to think of a plot. The reason why a sequel would be so hard is, I'd want to incorporate the perspectives of 3 other characters for it to work, in other words, me jen and kim would have completely seperate adventures that would tie together, but im not sure how well that would work out. I might do something like it in the future though

Reviewer: DrManhattan Signed
Date: May 23 2009 Title: Chapter 18: Small Revelations

Holy hell, man! You sure know where to end 'em!

You did Kim exactly like I hoped you would. She likes to get under people's skin and get her way, but she really is a good person beneath it all. I especially liked the touch of bitterness you threw in there. It makes the idea of her caring about Bobby very believable.

Wow, I really didn't see that last twist coming. I, too, bought into Jen's fairy story whole-heartedly. The best thing about said twist, though, is that I really have no idea where you are going to go from here. I don't even know if Jen ever planned on switching back with Bobby in the first place. My mind was swimming with ideas and questions as I finished this chapter.

This chapter was amazing, and for a lot of different reasons, too! Great job all around.



Author's Response: thanks, glad you enjoyed it

By the way, I've noticed you referenced rocket ships four times in the last two chapters.  Is this story sponsored by NASA or something?

Reviewer: DrManhattan Signed
Date: May 19 2009 Title: Chapter 16: Little adjustments

Yeah, I figured Sarah would play with Bobby at least a little bit.  It's nice to see her come to her senses, though.  Things probably won't be so bad for him now, unless of course she loses him.

You had a lot of nice descriptions in this chapter, both in actions as well as scenery.  You write with balance, so the reader can visualize the scene yet not be bogged down in meaningless and boring details.  This chapter is one of the better examples of this.

Bobby's inner monologing once again puts the reader in his shoes.  He goes through a myriad of emotions and experiences in this chapter, so that is no small task.  I'm glad he's starting to adapt to his new size, because I've still got a feeling it's going to be a while before he sees Jen again.

Reviewer: DrManhattan Signed
Date: May 18 2009 Title: Chapter 15: Jen's Birthday

I thought you might do something like that.  You set it up really well, too.  You successfully evaded many cliches, which is very much appreciated.  Bobby putting those quotes together in his head was a nice touch, as was his self-imposed slowness to catch on to what it would take to make Jen big.  I really liked Bobby's reactions to his new height as well.

The dialog is impressive, as always.

You've left yourself lots of room to write.  I have no idea what Sara has in store for poor Bobby.  i mean, I know she won't hurt or torment him, but I don't think she's above having a little 'harmless' fun at his expense either.   Also, It'll be neat to see how Jen experiences the world through her new perspective.  I've got a feeling it'll be a while before Bobby gets back to her, though.

Date: May 14 2009 Title: Chapter 2: Getting to know her

Wow, thanks for adding the next chapter so quickly. I was sure you were going to leave us hanging for a while.

There's a lot to like in this chapter. The thing that sticks out to me, though, is how you convey the characters' feelings with actions instead of just words. This is difficult to do, but you pull it off quite well. Hell, even when the characters are in dialog, there's meaning behind their words. Very well done.

It was nice to see Bobby stabilze his relationships all around. He's way to stressed out to be isolated. I'm curious to see what tactic he employs to find out Jen's brithday wish.

Please keep up the good work.

Date: May 13 2009 Title: Chapter 13: My little mistake

I'm lovin' the melodrama on display in this chapter.  It fits Bobby's character so well, and Jen's reaction to being discovered is intensely believable and perhaps a bit inciteful.  You also did a masterful job with Sara's progression through the scene.

The dream sequence was pretty cool, too.  I like how Bobby's confused emotions haunt him even in his sleep.

Bobby is so smooth, by the way...

"So...what's her name?"

"I don't know."

Priceless.

Man, this is a great story.

Your writing has a unique charm about it; it just draws me in.  The characters really come to life.  I'm really interested not only in what becomes of them, but of what they're thinking along the way as well.

You're killing me with this mystery stuff, though.  I just have to know Jen's little secret.  You've set it up quite well, regardless of what it turns out to be.

Again, this is an awesome story, and I'm eager to see where you're going with it.

I found this story a while back, and was sad to think it would be among those stories in our community that would never be finished. I'm estatic that you haven't forgotten about it.

I really enjoy the dynamic between Nick and Elise. Both of these characters are witty and interesting on their own, but together they are perfect for what you are trying to accomplish (almost like you designed them for that purpose or something). I particularly empathize with Elise. Unlike a lot of people with our fetish (Nick included, apparently), I also believe in true equality rather than feminism or submissiveness. It's refreshing to read about a character who represents my beliefs, especially when she is the one in control.

As for what you are trying to do with this story, it is a great and entertaining endeavor. Using the gentler aspects of the fetish to present what is likely as realistic a relationship between a tiny man and an average-sized woman as possible just drew me in from the start. It's also a great way to dissect the true value of said relationship before the shrinking, which is always fun to read. Your pacing serves your goal exceptionally well, too.

Your descriptions are spot on, and you've thrown in some interesting plot elements. Great job all around.

I hope to see a new addition to this story soon. You've left us on that last cliff hanger for a while, now.

Oh, and Johnny Dangerously is one of my favorite all time movies. I'll forgive you making fun of it this time, seeing as how this story is amazing and all, but don't let it happen again.



Author's Response:

I've never forgotten about this series, and I deeply regret having left it hanging for so very long. Whatever else I work on here, or elsewhere, I will continue to develop this story to its logical conclusion. Whatever that is. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Summary:

This is the long awaited sequel to "My Little Friend"

Quite some time after my recent adventures with Jen, we face new conflicts in the form of our relationship issues, as well as some mysterious newcomers...

A great start you're off to!

I like the method in which you retell the original story, scattering bits and pieces of it throughout the chapter. It coincides with Bobby's all over the place line of thinking very well. I also like how he says he won't "bore us with the details" as to why his girlfriend is only three inches tall.

You've set up a great rapport between Jen and Bobby early on. They aren't "all lovey-dovey" all the time, but rather sound like a real couple (except for the one obvious exception).

I gotta admit, Sarah still kinda rubs me the wrong way, but that's going back to the original. I'm interested to see if things really are okay between them when Bobby is his regular size, as he claims they are.

Again, you are off to a fantastic start.

Oh, and CaryComic, consider yourself lucky that I still don't know how to throw tomatoes across the internet.

Date: June 17 2009 Title: Chapter 2: Daydreams and familiar faces

Starting the chapter in flashback was a nice touch, and the subject of said flashback was of great interest, too.  Parents are a big issue with both of them, seeing as how they both live with theirs respectively and all.  I thought it was kinda funny how Bobby's parents called Jen's to tell them of the arrangement.  I don't know; normally that level of meddling would seem annoying (realistic, but annoying nonetheless), but it just made me laugh a bit.

Sarah once again tries her hand at obtaining Bobby.  That's gotta get pretty tiresome for Jen after awhile, let alone Bobby.  I think someone has something of a fetish...

Seeing the story through Bobby's eyes inherently leaves a bad taste in my mouth when reading Jack, which is great for the story.  I thought he was pretty clever, the subtle way in which he reminded Jen of her previous relationship, trying to plant that seed of doubt.

You did a great job with the mannerisms in this chapter.  It was easy to tell how uneasy Jen was around Jack (with Bobby watching,anyway).  Jen's natural reaction to remembering the nervousness of meeting Bobby's parents, as well as gazing off into the sea at the though of adapting to being tiny were brilliant strokes, too.

This story is setting up pretty well.  I'm eager to see what you've got planned.

Reviewer: DrManhattan Signed
Date: June 18 2009 Title: Chapter 3: New girl in town

Well, this was a very intriguing chapter.

Sarah's fascination with the shrinking process took me a bit by surprise.  I thought she just wanted to play around with Bobby, but it seems my off-hand comment pertaining to her and a certain fetish might not have been too far off.  The fact that she was actually waiting for them seems to help build this case as well.

Hey, another new character breaks onto the scene!  Not only that, but it looks like she's got a thing for Bobby.  Her shyness makes her kinda cute, too.  I think I'm gonna like Ashley.

I wonder what made Jen madder: The fact that she has to hide in Sarah's pocket (during a time that was initially meant to be for just the Bobby and her, no less), or the fact that this is because of another girl.  Perhaps the green monster is about to rear its ugly head (again)?

The overall writing was spot on, as usual.  I liked how dialog heavy this chapter was, too.

Reviewer: DrManhattan Signed
Date: June 22 2009 Title: Chapter 4: It don't mean Jack

That was intense, man!

That was a very noble move, allowing Jen some extra time at regular size.  It probably wasn't the brightest thing to do, but I guess that just shows how much he cares about her.  Too bad she didn't see it that way.

Jen knows how to hit somebody where it hurts.  Planning that date with Jack was one of the worst things she could do to Bobby.  It was interesting to find out Jack is just like that guy that Kim cheated on him with.  That gives justification to his jealousy.

Kim's back!  I was wondering when you were going to write her back into the story.  I'm definitely reading the next chapter now.
