I'm loving this story more and more with each chapter. I'm glad that you gave Caroline such a supportive family, things would certainly have been much more miserable for her without them. I'm also very curious to see how far her growing will go, and how she will have to adapt.
Well, that's that, all I can say now is keep up the good work!

I felt kinda bad after kicking the main character's ass in the other story, i thought why not make it so stuff actually doesn't suck horribly at all times in this one? i do intend to sort of integrate a more serious threat besides her simply getting humongous, but i'll still try to keep it in the somewhat lighthearted vein

Well this isn't normally my kind of story. I do like your others better. But I decided to give this story a shot because I really like your writing.
I just finished reading the first 5 chapters and I found my self really enjoying it. I really like Caroline. keep up the good work.

As someone who IS a fan of this particular sub-genre, I think the author is doing fine so far. No need to criticize him for trying something different. Kind of presumptuous to decide what someone is "meant" to write. Glad you came back and changed your opinion though, Jay.
(By the way, regarding the Stephen King analogy, did you know that The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile are by King? Neither are horror stories but they're brilliant nonetheless. A writer known for one genre can stretch himself now and then.)
Anyhow, as for this new chapter, good stuff. Very sweet how the brother warmed up to her pretty quickly. Each growth spurt has me in suspense waiting to see how much she's grown and how she'll adjust.
Author's Response:
hey, thanks for showing interest. i was beginning to wonder if i was overtipping the scales on the sticky emotion ratio, so i'm glad to hear it's at least ok. soon, the focus will shift to bigger things than just hanging around in her room, though (haha, pun, because she's getting... oh, never mind)

Man, what a jerk I was! I'm really sorry to have posted such an immature diatribe last night. I think I had too much wine, dealt with a bad day, and, like a jerk, took it out on you. I wish I could remove my two comments on this story, but they stand as testament ON HOW NOT TO GIVE FEEDBACK. You're a great new author and I appreciate your stories. Please forgive my irrational spewl the other day.
i do honestly accept your apology, and i understand that you perhaps weren't thinking straight, but i would like to end this whole thing with this: in a different comment, you thanked me for not being offended at your personal preferences that you often mention in comments. and i in no way am, because it's your right to enjoy your time on this site however you like. please extend me the same courtesy in the future

I mean no disrespect, but just feel this was more than a diversion on your part. You can rest assured that you're a great author, but you work best on, well, what you work best on. Stephan King is a great author, but if he were to try and change directions entirely, before he finished a prior "horror" novel, and produce a slap-stick comedy, he wouldn't be famous or appreciated. Sure, it would be well-written, but the themes and ideas of his work would be left unappreciated. Great writing, but writing about the wrong stuff (again, you know the other story is done but refuse to just post the effing thing) is like having the right key but the wrong key hole. I guess I'm saying you shouldn't be insulted or bewildered by the lack of enthusiam this story will rightously acrue.
This would be the case, not due to his lack of talent, but his talent being spent on genres that he's not meant for. Pleae kindly correct me if I'm wrong as to this experiment of yours. I love your writing but have been around this fetish long enough to see when "games" are being purposely played. It's just not worth it. You should be happy with the well-deserved praise you received. To try and do this is pretty needless, wouldn't you say?
Author's Response:
in answer to this and the previous post, what happened with the conclusion to the other story was that the last chunk of pages containing the conclusion i lost somehow, didn't save it right or something. this was pretty annoying and i didnt immediately feel like typing it back out, so im taking a 2 day break before i start it again and post it. in answer to the other part about how different this story is, i'm aware that it's completely different and yes, i can tell that i'm not as good at this particular type of story already just as i write it. i just thought it would be good to actually try something different, just because i thought it might be fun, since i enjoy a wide-encompassing view of this whole concept. isn't that why we're on here? to enjoy this fictional idea that we all share in common through the sharing of stories? there's no need to feel offended when i take a couple days to try something different before resuming work on the other story. i understand that you want to see the end, and you will very soon, and perhaps you're right, this story is indeed an experiment by me, but i'd appreciate you allowing me the freedom to at least explore this idea without becoming upset about it. i hope you don't dislike me as an author now and you will see the end of the other story soon, but i thought it was important i say all this

I think you're a great artist of words and ideas. That said, the thematic theme of this story isn't my cup of tea. It's well written, to be sure, but deals with an entirely different aspect of the GTS fetish than what we're used to seeing from you,
Judging from your previous two stories (really one long, unfinished oddessey, if you will). I'm wondering if this is a diversion from you posting your previous story's conclusion, or an experiement to see if your "fans" truly enjoy you, the author, or just the themes and subject matter previously written about? I guess I'm must pointing out the obvious on this one.
Given that your previous story is entirely, completely, catastrophically, finished, yet you "wait" to post the conclusion, makes me ponder the real purpose behind starting an entirely new story before the posting of a previous story's conclusion (a conclusion that's said to be already finished and done with). Then again, perhaps I'd just like to see the final chapter of your other story! I'd be more understanding if the other story wasn't entirely finished, in need of only being posted. If it wasn't already done, that'd be a different story.
Author's Response:
there's no need to accuse me of testing my "fans" as you say. there's zero reason i should have to restrict myself to one genre if i enjoy them both in different ways, and other people enjoy them in different ways as well. see my above response to hear what's up with the story

Wow. Love the emotion in this tale. Hope to read more.

an lol the part where the doctor lifted up her massive bare foot to put his ear against it all I could think of was the seagull from Disney's little mermaid. Lol
Author's Response:
haha glad you like it. i was a little worried the emotion would be over the top, but then i was like oh what the hell, it's a fantasy story, it's part of the package
Date: May 24 2011 6:14 PM Title: Chapter 3: Comfort
Good start. Gentle giantesses and fantasy stories are my bread and butter so I'm definitely liking this. The witch's entrance reminded me of Maleficent in "Sleeping Beauty." Curious to see how big Caroline will get. I'm also wondering why her father is a king but her mother is a duchess. Seems like there'd be a story there. Hmm...
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. And im sure there is a story there, it probably just wont appear in the story. The thinking on that was literally "duchess... Sure why not?" And good call on the sleeping beauty thing its definitely an influence there
[Report This]Date: May 24 2011 12:24 PM Title: Chapter 2: Tall
Very good story so far! I always love gentle stories, and the fantasy setting makes this one even more interesting (very much like Melisande.) Of course, there'll probably be lots more to come, so I guess for now I'll have to wait and see what's going to happen next.
Author's Response:
it's funny that you say that, melisande was actually what made me think of the fact that this story could work; rest assured though that it will go in a much different kind of direction
