Oh...my...GOODNESS!!! YOU'RE BACK!!! I'm so excited!!! I remember loving your stories when they came out! You always had such a particular style of writing, that always kept me wanting more! I was devastated when I went out to read some of your stories from This Job Sucks only to find my favorite ones gone! It fills me with immense joy to see you back and even more so after reading Labba's review to hear that my favorite of the TJS stories is coming back with a retouch! But that's for that, this is a review for Wasted so let me continue on with this one.
I love this story. I loved it when it came out and so scrolling through the Most Recent's it immediately caught my eye that it was back again. I've always had a particular fondness for the Swiftverse with the likes of Brobdingnagians, Liliputians and Gulliverans. It's one of the most consistent size scenarios that really just does justice anytime it shows up. I think you managed to do that very well here.
As I mentioned before, your writing style particularly lends itself to the feeling of wanting more. You write like a tease (and I mean that in only the most sincerely best way) tantalizing your audience with concepts so interesting and intriguing that are just out of reach. For example while there is a small level of worldbuilding it lends itself to so many questions. If Jean is hightailing it from police, what kind of police? Brobby police? Gulliveran police? Jean also carries pepper spray which means that even at her size, a Brobby girl can feel threatened. It's these titillating concepts that are weaved throughout with such subtly that really elevates the setting.
Not going to lie, I have a weakness for barefoot giantess so this story hits a particular chord with me as well. And owing again to your talent to withhold just enough, there is only enough interaction to give the reader a sense of what's going on, yet leave them wanting more. To be honest, I would have liked to see more of her destruction but from the narrative perspective that this is all her point of view I believe this works to amazing effect.
I think it also cannot be understated you are a master of the eye catcher. Your premises always have something, some air of originality or nuance that I feel a lot of stories miss. It helps your writing stick out. So while blackout drunk giantess may not be in its own way a wholly new idea the way you have not just written it but also advertised it makes it feel new. Reading this again, with fresh eyes in a fresh time this hits all the hallmarks for me, of stories in this vein I love.
Again, I feel the greatest weakness of this story its its brevity. Considering this is a reupload I do not take that on you as a writer now. But in some ways though I do believe the brevity does it justice, especially with that ending, that kind of dream but no it was real, kind of twist. I think (a note for past you as it were) strengthening the middle, as she's trying to reckon with the destruction she has caused, and how much she's trying to avoid any more damage would make the ending hit all the harder and more impactful. But those are just my thoughts.
All in all, happy to see you're back and happy to see this story again! I hope to get to see many more promising works from you and look forward to what you'll produce with great interest! XD

Hello, and welcome back!
I didn't remember this one story in particular, but I think I remember about you because you're the author of that one story about a giant tour guide, right? Do you happen to still have it on your computer? I've been looking for it for a long time, because I thought the concept was so cool! It's a great way for a giantess to actually be helpful in society by carrying tourists around and showing them all the cool stuff and places, all while still allowing for the obvious size shenanigans that come with this premise to take place. So I enjoyed it a lot, but when I couldn't find it anymore I started fearing it had been deleted (something you confirm here).
But yeah, even though I can't exactly remember what your writing style looked like all those years ago, I can see you've reached a point where your writing style is very clean, enticing to read and just great to glance at. Therefore, if you're planning on remaking more of your old works (unless you already have them on your PC) with this current writing style, I would be so happy if you decided to pick up the giant tour guide concept again!
This said, congratulations once more for this short and enjoyable one-shot, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of you around!
Author's Response:
Labba! I’m a huge fan of your work, so the compliments mean the world!
To your Tour Guide question, yes! There was a chapter in This Job Sucks about a Tour Guide who would shrink in a small vehicle and lead guests around a wildlife preserve. It was one of my favorite chapters, and I’m planning on remaking it soon with extra detail and a bit more time dedicated to the smut.
Thanks for reading!
