I uh.... wow. It's no exaggeration that this the most glowing praise I've ever gotten for my writing. Like, ever. I appreciate all the kind words. I know it's "just" smut, but the goal of a writer is always to elicit an intended emotional response in the reader with their work, and regardless of the nature of said response, it's just really a great feeling to know that you were successful at it.

I hear you on some of the technical issues. Some of it stems from writing these out on a smartphone (autocorrect can be a bitch sometimes), but most of it comes from my style of writing, which is basically to dump everything out of my head all at once, and submit without looking back. Something about re-reading my own work is uncomfortable to me... akin to hearing your own recorded voice. And this was my first erotic piece, so I'm not surprised that Together came across as more effective. Not that I could point to anything specific that I learned through writing Anticipation, but I'm sure subconsciously, the experience had an influence on the latter work.

All that to say, I appreciate the time you took to write out such an elaborate review, and I felt my response needed to be similarly comprehensive in kind, to reflect the gratitude. I know most people just read something and move on (myself included), so I try not to take for granted that even a handful of people felt compelled to provide positive feedback.

I'm still working my way through your work, and while I lack the skill to so thoroughly summarize my feelings as you have, know that I'm thoroughly enjoying what I've read so far. You have a talent for sure, and I hope you have the opportunity to develop your skills further. We definitely vibe on the same wavelength, and it's awesome to find others out authors out there that I can sing the praises of from my admittedly very small platform.

Glad you liked it! Just posted a story I had written some time ago but forgot to upload here called Together. You should check it out if Anticipation was up your alley!

It was all just a roleplay between a husband (Michael), his wife (Annie) and one of Annie's friends they had brought in and consensually shrunk (Cassie).

Fear has always been inexorably linked to the thrill of vore for me, but I don't find much sexually appealing about the digestion process, so having the characters pretend to be scared (and maybe even being a little scared, despite themselves) while actually being safe is sort of my way of having my cake and eating it too.

I tried to pepper hints of what was really going on throughout and keep the reveal as organic as possible, but this was the first time I've ever attempted a twist ending of any kind in my writing, so I'm not surprised it wasn't super clear. Setting to work on for next time.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story, though. I'm shooting for finishing up another one next month, so stay tuned!

Yeah, a little scare-rousal is fun, but who doesn't like a happy ending?
