Wait, a protagonist that actually learns from his mistakes and has emotional growth?! Where did the Sun rise up from today?
It’s so nice to see a protagonist not make the same mistake over and over again to force the progression of events. Having emotionally smart characters really tests one’s writing and you hit it out of the park!
Your dialogue between Nate and company really stood out, particularly between him and Sam on the home from school. It was quirky, loving, entertaining, wonderfully written.
Also just want to apologize for the atrocious grammar in my last review.
Oh! And have you heard of the author ‘Pluto Pendragon’? From reading your stories, I really believe you’d enjoy his work. You can find it here.
[Report This]Date: July 11 2025 3:52 PM Title: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Sister
You really brought it to the next level with chapter 6. Virtually every scene was enthralling. I could not stop reading until I finished a section and was almost forced to take a pause to just sit in the moment and enjoy, wanting to take my time as to thoroughly enjoy every aspect of what I just read, sometimes even re-reading certain parts that I particularly enjoyed.
A relatively innocuous scene that I felt be impactful and enjoyed quite a bit was the second scene, in the kitchen. The combination of Nate entering the cusp of coming to the realization of his Sub desires and Hannah giving him more than a taste in a noncommittal way which put Nate in a position that made him second guess himself while also deepening the Sub position in his subconscious was masterfully done.
I don’t know if this was intentional or if I’m reading too much into it, but well done None the less!
An aspect of height comparisons I often see of which I think is a bit immersion break is whenever a character encounter happens where a size change has happened, almost immediately the exact height are given. I think it’s brilliant how instead you tend to describe the height difference from Nate pov instead.
I don’t consider the measuring scene during Hannah’s birthday to be immersion breaking at all! I think how it was implemented in Hannah’s plan of furthering Nate’s subconscious desire of being a Sub was well thought out. It didn’t feel forced at all!
I’ve said it before but I want to say it again, how you expand the depth of secondary characters is amazing, truly. With how the reveal of Alice’s hypnosis being done before Nate’s breakup with Sam and the slight tension Nate felt when this was revealed… sheeesh I’m getting a bit giddy just recounting it Ha!
it was really difficult to find something to be critical without being asked for it, but I had to say something, I think the leg race…. No, just as in writing this, I think I might even take that back.
Well Done! There I could honestly have kept going but I’m honestly a bit worried I might annoy you!
Thanks for such a great chapter!
Author's Response:
Thank you! Wow, that's a lot of positive feedback.
The kitchen scene was meant to further Nate's progress into submission while also being a fun scene in itself. I'm glad you liked it.
Personally, I love having exact data on character's heights, lol. But I know it can be boring without some more concrete physical comparisons, in addition to being unrealistic/immersion breaking. So I try to strike a balance.
I'm glad you enjoy the secondary characters too. I like having a large cast but it has been a struggle trying to have a lot of girls that are strong, confident, tall, and like short boys without them feeling like copies, lol.
The Alice bit was a puzzle. I had to work out how to justify her growth while having her still shun Nate after the breakup with Sam. I had written myself into a corner, lol, so I'm happy it worked out so well.
Finally, please don't ever feel like you're annoying me with comments. I love getting feedback, especially thoughtful, detailed reviews like yours. Even if it sometimes takes me a while to respond.

Just to respond to your end notes for chapter 4, please don’t ever feel bad for taking too long! If you ever feel inspired, just let it flow!
Also you’ve already addressed what I wanted to bring up. Although I don’t mind the more sadistic style of femdom, I prefer it as an accessory rather than the main draw.
Author's Response:
Thanks! Everyone's been very supportive in that regard. I just feel bad for leaving people hanging for so long.
I usually prefer gentle femdom too. It honestly depends on my mood, lol.

From beginning to end, chapter 3 flowed splendidly! The series of events has a natural progression that led to distinct and satisfying milestones, enjoying the doctors visit and how it led to Hannah’s slight change in demeanor setting up future events.
As for what stood out in this chapter as far as your overall writing, I appreciate and respect how you use your narration! Most writers use narration to explain a character’s action or dialogue instead of using it to accompany it. It allows the reader to relax and really enjoy the character as they live in the story! Thanks for that!
Author's Response:
Thanks! This chapter was a big one for plot progression and character development. Honestly, I feel like I was better at getting things done succinctly back then. The chapter would probably be twice as long if I wrote it now, lol.
I'm glad you're enjoying my writing style. I think first-person perspective is a big advantage in this case. The narration blends with Nate's internal monologue since it's technically part of it.
[Report This]Date: July 10 2025 6:20 AM Title: Coach can we get a Sub(stitution)?
Well done! Truly! The slow burn approach for character development really is a testament to not only your ability as a writer but also your patience, showing your dedication in wanting to write a fully fleshed out story.
This being my second round, I feel like I can truly appreciate how your balancing the dynamic between Nate and Sam, Hannah, Jess, and Kerry. It’s really impressive how carefully your setting up each individuals future arc!
After reading this second chapter I think I have an idea as to why you might have chosen Nate to be more conscious about his stunted growth. If I had to guess it would be a combination of wanting to speed up some of the internal conflict and associated anxiety with the more subtle approach as well as Nate’s internal dialogue when comparing himself to others and influencing his decisions.
In the beginning of the first chapter you said this was your first of this kind of writing, do you have any other works that are publicly available? I’d love to read them!!
Author's Response:
Thanks! I probably should have done something less ambitious for my first fetish story, lol. It would have made my life easier. But seeing how much people enjoy this story makes it worth it.
The funny thing is, while I had a decent bit planned out for the other characters, Kerry's part in the story was much more off-the-cuff. She's almost absent from my early story notes. Though, by the time this chapter came out, I had a better idea of her role going forward.
As far as other stories go, I don't have any that are currently available. I wrote a couple of short stories as a kid for school and stuff, which were pretty awful. Then I wrote a few chapters of a Pokémon Nuzlocke story around 2011 or 2012. That one wasn't too bad, but it was hosted on a small forum run by friends of my roommate at the time, so I have no idea how to find it now.
[Report This]Date: July 09 2025 10:37 PM Title: Introduction or The Tall and Short of it
Reading this story for the second time and might be enjoying it a bit more this time around. I’m not sure if it was intentional, but the introduction of hypnosis earlier on gave a well constructed and suspenseful lead-up to the inevitable impactful hypnosis session at the end.
The relationship between Nate and Hannah was quite refreshing! Having Nate be a more nuanced loving and protect full ‘big’ brother really helps one get more invested. Great job!
I have very few criticisms, and with how far along you are in the story I’m really voicing these to get a feel of what you think you might have done differently looking back! I would love to hear them!!
The two I have for this first chapter is how well Hannah and company speaks! It would be nice if there was an unexplained aspect of the hypnosis or similar that would help. Going through the l later chapters I often forget the age and grade level of the characters, but having ‘Some’ sort of abnormal reason would help ground the characters.
Second criticism was with the last line about Nate being absolutely sure he wouldn’t grow another inch. I’m curious as to why you thought Nate being so sure to this extent over a more broad premonition like feeling? With how sure and conscious Nate was about him not growing another inch, it seemed both out of place with the idea of subconsciously being influenced/controlled by the hypnosis and with his struggles with his situation.
Please treat these criticisms as an afterthought. I thoroughly enjoy your writing and story telling and your character building is top notch!
Author's Response:
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it.
I really enjoy setting up foreshadowing, though I also come up with a lot of the story on the fly, lol.
I wanted Nate to be a good guy, instead of the asshole that gets his comeuppance by being outgrown. I'm glad you like him and his relationship with Hannah.
Honestly, having the characters speak and act more like their age is something I would love to improve on. I just think it would take too much time to do consistently at my current skill level though. I tend to reserve it for really young/innocent characters at the moment.
For the second one, I don't remember why I decided to have him be so sure he was done growing. But the idea is that it's sort of bleeding over from his subconscious. That's why he doesn't understand how or why he's done growing. It's like a really strong intuition, a gut feeling so strong he has no way to refute it.
Date: July 05 2025 2:18 PM Title: Absence Makes the Sis Grow Taller
Haha, I didn't expect a shout out but am flattered. I thought this really took off. My thoughts...
1. it really had Zimmer/BBL vibes during the inpatient section.
2. I loved Hannah, the reveal, and body part specific growth. The breasts were handled well, playing into Hannah's drive to be the biggest/best.
3. Lots of side figures with lines to keep Nate busy. The standout concern might be Cindy. I think I'm fascinated as there situation is directly parallel to Hannah and Nates. The fact Hypnosis can't make him do anything he doesn't want to could be a great side story, as it gives Cindy some unique motivations and imperatives.
Also, sorry to hear you lost your draft. I've had that happen and it's always infuriating!
Author's Response:
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Zimmer and BBL? High praise!
Having to sideline Hannah for the plot/side characters while still having a satisfying reveal was a challenge. It makes me happy to hear that it came out good.
Cindy really deserves her own side story. If only I had infinite time and motivation, lol. Hopefully, I can get to it at some point.
Yeah, losing the draft sucked. But at least I should be safe from that kind of thing from now on. Saving a backup and backup to the backup, lol.

I know this story free and u put alot of work on writing chapters
I may sound rude but is the next chapter comming soon
I'm sorry but the last chapter was really heavy and built for alot future interactions between the charcters
Author's Response:
No need to be sorry. I'm glad that people are looking forward to the rest of the story.
Sadly, it looks like it's going to be a while longer. The reason it took me so long to reply is because the document I was writing the next chapter in got corrupted and I was waiting to see if it could be recovered. It seems like that's not possible. So, I will have to rewrite most of the chapter. I will try to do so quickly, but it will still take time.

[Report This]Date: April 30 2025 8:15 AM Title: Absence Makes the Sis Grow Taller
Thank you so much for allowing me the pleasure of reading your work! I can't believe I'm only now stumbling across your work. I love how much care and time you're putting into not only the main two characters, but also developing the side characters to give the actions the main characters take more meaning.
The lead up to this Chapters cliffhanger was so well done. Although I can't wait for the next installment, I am so satisfied with the overall quality of this story that it's so easy to just sit in the journey so far
I really enjoyed the letters/emails from the other characters during Nate's stay at the clinic. It was entertaining as well as a wonderful way to develop the side character/stories while giving the reader a sense of the passage of time.
I've been seeing other readers wish that size disparity between 'Hanna and company' and Nate happen more quickly. I think you're pacing is done well. IMO, having too unrealistic of growing in this type of story can quicken the pace preventing steady and satisfying Character development and takes away from the authenticity at the time of the reveal when an encounter between Nate and Company happens.
Again, Thank you for writing this Amazing story! I think you're doing a fantastic Job and can't wait to read more!!
I would love to know your inspiration and if you have any Growth/Shrink stories that you would recommend!
Author's Response:
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
A good cast of side characters really helps expand my options for the kind of scenes I can put in the story. And I didn't want them to be too similar to each other, or the main characters, so I had to find ways for them to be different. The emails really helped there.
Knowing my writing speed, I'm glad you liked the cliffhanger instead of finding it frustrating, lol.
I've always been a fan of the slow growth genre, so I had to write it that way. I also understand if people are impatient, though. I have a tendency to overcompensate and really drag things out if I'm not careful, lol.
My main inspiration is the stories from Tallwomanlover05 over on the Tall Woman Stories WordPress site. A lot of the plot and characters in HypnoSis were influenced by their style of writing, especially in the early chapters.
Most of my favorite stories are pretty old at this point, lol. So they might be hard to find. I recommend anything by Rapscalion as well as "Compounding Interest" by Hunter S Creek. Those are available on the MiniGTS & Slow Growth Story Wiki. "Tim Doogan's Little Sister" by Hunter S Creek is also really good, but you have to go to overflowingbra.com instead since they deleted it from the MG-SG wiki. That one directly inspired the lifting scene in chapter one of my story. Another great author is Spitfire. I recommend "The Vortex" and "The Amazon Butterfly Effect" in particular (available on thevalkyrie.name).

Wow, the biggest update yet!
Great work as always. I love how this story (and the girls) are developing.
I liked the clinic interlude. Those emails were great, especially the one from Naomi. A shrinking guy meeting a tall sexy nurse that was a former patient at the growth clinic reminded me of BBL's Parallels One (high praise). I liked Valerie, I hope we get a proper conclusion for her in a future chapter.
Big fan of the measuring party tradition. With most of the girls developing curves, maybe they can measure more than height at the next one. At Hannah's next birthday, Nate will be shorter than her legs!
I'm curious about the extent to which the characters are aware of the hypnosis. Hannah's group seem to all be mutually aware that all of them are getting hypnosis. Nate told Sam that he and Hannah were getting hypnotized, but I don't think Sam knows about Alice or Taylor getting hypnotized. Is Sam surprised at the extent or speed those two are growing?
That Kerry cliffhanger has me excited for the next installment already! Interested to see what this school takeover entails. With Kerry's transformation I wonder if this will make the hypnosis more well known. I don't think Sam has even been offered the hypnosis. Will she get hypnotized to try to grow and catch up to Kerry, or was Kerry right that Sam will come around and be friends with her again?
Again, great work!
Author's Response:
Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed my attempt to shake-up the status quo. Getting compared to BBL is high praise indeed! I love his Parallels story. I don't know how much Valerie is going to appear in the rest of the story, but people seem to like her, so I'll probably bring her back at some point, even if it's just a short visit.
I could definitely add more measurements to the tradition. I'd just have to do a lot of thinking to figure them all out, lol.
I hadn't really thought too much about character's awareness of the hypnosis beyond just the simple "in the know" and "not in the know" groups. Hannah's friends do know that they're all getting hypnotized, but other than that, like with Sam, I haven't decided. It might allow for some fun interactions if she's unaware.
I'm excited for the next chapter too, lol. There were a few times where I had to stop myself from thinking about it while I was still trying to write this chapter. I have some ideas for Sam and Kerry, but I'm still figuring out the details, so I guess we'll both have to wait and see.
Date: April 12 2025 10:13 PM Title: Absence Makes the Sis Grow Taller
Honestly, I was expecting Nate to be gone for (at least) a year and for Hannah to have (at least) broken the 7-foot mark when he returned, by which point she would have basically usurped her parents and taken over the family.
As for Kerry, her having an anterage of four other huge girls basically confirms that she has some kind of growth method.
I'm now expecting Kerry to rule the school for the rest of the year until Hannah enters middle school, at which point Hannah will have grown WAY past 7 feet (maybe using the former's method) and take over Kerry's queen-bee status.
Author's Response:
Yeah, I didn't want to have him gone too long since it would feel like we'd miss too much. Especially since he's shrinking too. But I could have committed more to the idea in hindsight.
Kerry has definitely grown unnaturally fast. I don't want to reveal any details now, but I'm sure she'll fill everybody in next chapter. She's way too proud of herself right now to avoid some villainous monologuing, lol.
Hannah will want to fight her right away if she messes with Nate. The question is, who will come out on top now that Kerry's grown too.
Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Really liking the general direction of the series. Hope Hannah gets past “peak” female height while still staying in the Amazon size range. Also excited for her other assets to start growing huge such as boobs, butt, and feet! Would also be interested in if hypnosis could cause futa growth cause that’s another realm of domination/emasculation but that may not be your cup of tea.
Author's Response:
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. I haven't nailed down Hannah's exact final height (or anyone's, really) but I do plan to keep things mostly-realistic. Somewhere in what this site designates as Amazon, though. That's for sure.
I don't plan on having any futa in this story. Personally, while I do enjoy stories with them, they're not my go to. They would also be harder to justify via hypnosis than what I've done so far. Not impossible, but definitely harder.
On the other hand, Hannah's other assets are absolutely going to grow. I was really holding myself back in the last two chapters, since she had just started puberty. But they'll really develop in the future.
[Report This]Date: January 17 2025 11:38 PM Title: Unforeseen Side Effects
Always glad to see an update on this story!
We got so much growth this chapter (and even a little shrinking).
Very surprised Michelle grew so much, but I guess someone 1. from a tall family, 2. in puberty and 3. on hypnosis is bound to grow grow grow.
Very interested to see what exactly Kerry and her minions have planned. Jess said in chapter 7 that the recordings were only used to maintain an active hypnosis setting, and couldn't start something on their own. Maybe Jess was wrong, or did she give Kerry hypnosis when she was mad at Nate, or maybe one of Kerry's minions has been doing her own research?
Looking forward to the next update
Author's Response:
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The girls are getting big! Michelle in particular got so tall for the reasons you mentioned, and the fact that she was already pretty tall. She was 5'6" when she was introduced in chapter 5.
As far as Kerry is concerned, I can't elaborate due to spoilers, but those are all good guesses.

Yes! So happy to see more of this story! I know I'd love to get new chapters more frequently, but I also see how much work you put into it and applaud your skills.
I was practically yelling at the words about how Kerry clearly stole a hypnosis recording from Alice. I have to admit that I find it surprising no one suspects that's what happened. Pretty reckless of Jess to have created those in the first place, but it should be interesting to see how it all gets fixed.
I especially love seeing the moments Hannah truly comforts Nate with her larger size, being the ultimate protector in the relationship. She's normally always sporting the dom attitude, but seeing her gentle side adds so much more!
It's also crazy how fast she's growing! One can only imagine how big she'll be by the time she's Nate's current age
Author's Response:
Thank you! I'd love to be able to upload more often. :) I'm trying to get faster/more consistent with my writing. It's hard but fingers crossed for at least a little improvement there.
I can neither confirm or deny anything about Kerry's plan, lol, but that is a very good guess. I will say that everyone involved in the hypnosis stuff is pretty lax when it comes to operational security, not just Jess.
I'm glad you're enjoying Hannah's various sides. I really got to explore her personality this chapter. And, yeah, she really is sprouting up now, lol. She's going to get so tall!
Date: January 14 2025 4:11 PM Title: Introduction or The Tall and Short of it
Well worth the wait.
1. Kerry is a nice foil and plot device. Hope she comes back bigger and better. It'd be nice if she wasn't something Hannah could just brute force her way around.
2. Loved hannah's personality, going between huffy and petulant to dominant and fun.
3. Glad Hannah's getting curves. I half expected as you mentioned the Zero Suit and Sam spilling out that'd cause Hannah to fixate on getting HUGE up top given her competitive and jealous nature.
Great stuff.
Author's Response:
Thank you!
Kerry's also really fun to write, lol. I'm excited to get to her return. I don't know how the resulting showdown will go, though. Hopefully, I can come up with something epic.
I love writing Hannah as confident, competent, and sexy, but I also like it when her more childish side comes through too.
Hannah will definitely end up curvy (even if she never did hypnosis, lol), I just wanted to take it slow since she's just entering puberty. Her getting competitive and jealous about it is something that would match her personality though. I might have to steal that idea, lol.
