Ghost's story was indeed funny. Steam's terms especially. What game allowes you to switch from living to undead on the spot?
Author's Response:
Ha, not sure, but I imagine the ghosts love Dead by Daylight

Also it would make sense for a size Vampire to shrink after losing to much energy, so there's really no need for ghost to shrink her. Just some drain curse.
Author's Response:
Valeria's big threats are the mad science trio at this point, who are less likely to curse her, but they have other surprises in store for our protags

She's not a world class Vampire, just one of the powerful ones. If the ghost is 10 times her age with legends about him all over the world I imagine he/she could do something. Tiny domme scenario are rare and underrated.
Author's Response: Well I don't have a ranking chart or anything but Valeria is implied to be the niece of ol' Dracula himself, while not on the level of her uncle or her mom she's up there. I would imagine a ghost's power is less based on their age and more based on notoriety, location, and maybe the circumstances of their death, Dan himself probably couldn't take her but like you said if there's some kind of ethereal ghost discord mod out there he could probably do it if Valeria went into his chat or something.

Just saying interesting ideas for later.
It would be funny for Valeria to want to remove the ghost but be shrunk by some 'Discord ghost chat moderator' that is willing to waste some of his energy to save his/her fellow ghost gamer. Chapter called 'there's always another ghost'.
Good opportunity for wolf- girl to get revenge or for tiny domme play with her familiar. He'll probably listen to her anyway and could even give some full body massage or something.
Author's Response:
Brendan would definitely listen to tiny Valeria lol, her hypnosis might even still work, that said she's a size vampire so shrinking her would be a stretch even for a really powerful ghost, size changing is one of her primary focuses after all. That said our ghost has plenty of other targets for people who mess with him or Alex.

When I suggested ghost I didn't think there would be need to summon it. I'm kinda against the idea of ghost having a real small body. It just kinda goes against all ghost thematic where they are usually untouchable and use environment to play little tricks. Just don't want ghost story to be some another F/m play, which there are plenty of already.
Author's Response:
He's going to have an incorporeal form, but he's got to be summoned off the internet, at least that's how I thought it would work. I figured he could occasionally possess stuff, but like you were thinking he'd be the same size as Alex.

20s is little girl for suppernatural and her being petite any confirms ghost's suspicions.
Author's Response:
lol well Ghost Boy is probably in his 30s or 40ss at most, obviously Valeria is at least half a century old going by her experiences with the Ottoman Empire,: Lupe is probably no older than she looks

Really enjoying this one so far! The spooky theme and all the little references. Brendan and Valeria’s relationship so far is quite sweet. Can’t wait to see Brendan spend some time in Valeria’s shoes. Excited for more!
Author's Response:
It's fun for this time of year right? Brendan will 100% end up in her shoes before the end of the story

Also idea for ghost boy:
He got dumped by a girl similar to Candy. Similar to Trent when he bailed her out or helped her in some other way. After that he buried himself in gaming and died from to much energetics and a heart attack. So he hates girls like her. He also can use his ghost powers to control feather to tickle her to gather her resentment towards him while Alex is sleeping.
Author's Response:
I like to think he's been haunting the internet for years following his demise, and while he has resentment towards certain girls his interactions with Alex nullify some of his "wrath"
Date: October 07 2022 8:10 AM Title: A Walk by Moonlight
Ghost should have knowledge of some supernatural things from his ghost reddit. He can explain that there's no need to worry because Vampires are to lazy to come for you and the worst thing that could is you joining the pack of an incompetent (little?) girl. Also Alex may have played games in a ghost world since she plays so much at night. They're deleted from match history and the map is slightly different. Maybe she thought it was a bug or something. Maybe ghost boy invited her to play himself sometimes and she has some gaming friend that is actually a ghost.
Author's Response:
This is all pretty funny, I've decided to add Ghost Boy into the story after some alterations to my general story outline, he wouldn't alter Alex's original subplot too much and in fact actually makes it better. Anyways Lupe is meant to be in her early 20s not a little girl, she's just super petite (though muscular) which makes her position as pack alpha over Trent funnier.

Well. While 2 idiots are fighting Warewolf vs Vampire war Candy may want to get 'revenge' on Alex because she didn't tell her about Vampire (She was humiliated, wants to find culprit she can go against) and when she comes at 4:20 in her too do something (not sure here) ghost comes to help and uses negative energy from recent lose streak of Alex to shrink Candy. Candy is perfect girl to be bullied by supernatural. Also would be funny that Alex went from hiding because she's afraid of scary monsters to Alex hiding because she is a scary monster keeping human as a pet and communicating with ghosts.
Author's Response:
"Candy is the perfect girl to be bullied by the supernatural" yes, yes she is lol. Not sure if it would happen during the big wolf vs vampire showdown, Alex wants to be involved in that because she thinks Brendan is the vampire and she also half thinks she's in something like Twilight and they secretly want her. Ghost boy would probably be a rebound after her theories are discredited.

Ghost scared to death by horror game is funny. Also it would kinda make sense for him to make others miserable since he's different. Alex is different since she's gamer girl, maybe he wants to protect her or something.
Author's Response:
I was thinking he kept drinking energy drinks until he reached a dangerous level of caffeination then got scared by a horror game or just had a heart attack after a brutal loss in online games lol
Date: October 06 2022 8:29 PM Title: A Walk by Moonlight
I feel like Alex needs some ghost who died from heart attack while raging to hard in League of Legends (or got to scared in a horror game) and this ghost answers her post on Reddit and can shrink people when something happens ( she has to much negative energy after the game at night). Ghost may be some gamer boy with similar situation to Alex and may have some wierd Voyeurism (ghost trademark) shrink fetish. Would be funny to see Alex play with someone while getting requests on her computer from her ghost friend. Maybe there is ghost streaming community so there are multiple hikikomori ghosts through the world connected by internet giving her powers and watching her play with someone. That would be novel and funny.
Author's Response:
That's an interesting idea, I'm going through my outline to see if I can fit it in, no promises but I really think this would be funny.

NVM, she wants a pack. Have to read before writing comments. Also, does Vampire give powers to familiar with enough interaction?
Author's Response:
Hey write as many comments as you want the highlight of my day is reading people's thoughts and questions on these things I write. Anyways vampire familiars get some "rubbing off" type powers, faster reflexes, seeing in the dark better, but nothing too crazy, they're still human for the most part.

“You want another beer?” a woman’s voice called from the kitchen. Brendan turned to see a short dark-skinned woman with short brown hair in a pixy cut saunter out of the kitchen, her muscular looking legs revealed by a pair of unseasonably short jean shorts and a tight shirt that gave her a slight midriff where Brendan could see the outline of abs.
A bite earlier and this girl now? My warewolf senses are tingling. Also, what does wolf want from a human? They're not known for their sucking skills. Only hunting, berserk mode and packs. Modern warewolfs can probably farm pigs or something.
Author's Response: Your werewolf senses are on the money, and werewolves aren't known for having a lot of forethought, they're very much in the moment.
Date: October 06 2022 11:28 AM Title: A Walk by Moonlight
Also how does Vampire shrink clothes?
Author's Response:
Her powers will be elaborated on as the story goes but basically she can shrink almost anything that isn't magically guarded against her somehow, though she only gets any kind of sustenance from shrinking a living person so shrinking inanimate objects like clothing is actually costing her energy rather than giving it to her like shirnking Brendan does, though something like clothes probably doesn't take much. She mostly shrinks his clothes because she likes undressing him if you catch my meaning.

“You’re too nice Brendan,” Trent growled angrily, “you can’t live life just letting people suck you dry.”
You really added this kind of foreshadowing in a Vampire story. It was kinda funny but aren't you afraid of it being to cliche?
Author's Response:
Given all the classic movie monsters in this cliches are bound to happen, I almost called the story What We Shrink in the Shadows haha

- References to Frankenstein and Lovecraft? I see you know your stuff. I'm enjoying this so far.
Author's Response:
Yeah between all the references in this one and Welcome to Hell it's easy to see what kind of stuff I'm into lol. Glad someone recognized the doctors origins.

This is gonna be one of my new favorites from you isnt it? I love these guys already!
Author's Response:
Hopefully it ends up being a fangtastic story

The MC's roommate, Trent, is tasked with following up on various nonsense reports of the local "wolf monster".
Calling it right at the start, Trent is getting an Awoo. Or perhaps an Awoo is getting a Tent. Same thing really.
Great start, looking forward to another good one!
Author's Response:
Trent's last name "Chaney" might give a clue as to what's waiting for him lol but it's not subtle you're right.
