This chapter was awesome! I have to say- I like how Erica calls Peter 'twerp' all the time; it really adds to the reality of their G/T brother and sister relationship :) as usual, the dialogue was amazing, and it was nice to hear Peter opening up a little about his high school experience. God knows he couldn't keep it all bottled up! But anyhow, this was awesome, and I can't wait for the next chapter ;)

Author's Response:

Thanks! Glad you like the dialogue, and the relationship between the two siblings.

Erica might also be one of those people who are better at giving good advice than taking it themselves. 



Author's Response:

Very possible, yes.

I have to say, Erica seems much more mature than your average high school junior (male or female).  Even with the added detail of her breakup with Sean, most kids can't process drama like that so swiftly.  The advice she's giving Peter sounds like it should be coming from someone who's had at least a year away at college.  I fully buy that Erica's concern for Peter's safety and even happiness is genuine, but as a teenager herself she would realistically limit her focus to not incurring her mother's wrath.

Perhaps unintentionally, Cary's comment highlights the fact that I don't think we've heard a single word about Peter's father.  Not to be excessively heteronormative, but where's Daddy?  If Suzanne is the (quite understandable) source of overprotectiveness in the family, who's the source of the adventurousness that Peter is experimenting with (and that Erica is advocating)?

My cavils aside, I still think this is one of my favorite stories, and I impatiently check the site every day for updates.  Watching teenagers let a five-inch-tall kid make them feel special while they in turn try to make him feel normal is, well, special.



Author's Response:

Fair considerations; I appreciate you putting the thought into the characters that you have. My answer on Erica is basically that she hasn't necessarily processed it completely; she just tends to bottle things up and think them over in solitude, allowing her to parse out bits of piecemeal wisdom for herself (or Peter, in this case). I know she may come off as mature, though I've known plenty of people at this age with this kind of perspective. While wary of her mother's wrath, she's been in this family long enough to know that if Peter doesn't step outside his mother's shadow sometimes, he'll never "grow." (heh)

Peter's father will eventually be brought up. The source of adventurousness really comes as a result of Peter needing a break from his mother's overprotectiveness - she shelters him so much, he has to proactively take initiative to see what's out there.

Again, thanks for your thoughts. Glad you're liking the story.

nice to see Erica to boost his brother's hope by opening herself. Can't wait to see his talk with his mom.



Author's Response:

Thanks! That'll be next chapter.

Peter's not entirely wrong. There's a reason why over-protectiveness is called "smothering" instead of "sfathering."

Author's Response:

Oh good gravy, that hurt more than I expected it to.

you're right! Ray has brown hair and blue eyes  after all but it's rare. Let's hope of Cayce's return and he make the sequel then !

If you ready to ask 1 last question on that story, did Cayce mention why Ray stopped his education when he started living at Dalton's?



Author's Response:

Sorry, it's been too long since I read it, so I don't remember a lot of the details like that.

Reviewer: smoki1020 Signed [Report This]
Date: February 19 2015 3:56 AM Title: Chapter 1: Separation Anxiety

Sorry I misuunderstood. well, I'm sure Cayce will not be mad at you if you write it. He said he'd plan making a sequel bu he never did it. You may ask him if you're interesting but he seems to have left gtsworld as his last review dated in 2010. Looking forward for your new stories.

 

PS: i doubt nicole is blonde bcz she has brown eyes, remember. I view as brunette. For the judge, I was talking about the one for the hearing for Ray's custody.  



Author's Response:

Still, it wouldn't be right, since it's his original content. Plus I have plenty of my own things I'm going to be posting soon.

That's fair, though a person can still have brown eyes and blonde hair, it's just uncommon. It's however you want to picture her.

you can write a sequel whenever you want to avoid the burning-out. I just suggested that bcz you're a talented writer and there're ideas for sequel (Noami's revenge per example). Homunculus has similairies to The Freshman n TO series too. well you better know your limits though!

PS: as non english and somewhat lazy reader, I need to help to understand two points on homunculus. Did Cayce mention Nicole's hair color (brunette or blonde like her mom)? And Was the judge really brided? 



Author's Response:

I actually just meant that because the story belongs to another writer, I wouldn't be right for me to do a sequel to it.

It has been a while since I read it. I don't think Cayce mentions Nicole's hair (I always imagined it blonde like Naomi's). It's been too long for me to remember the answer to the 2nd thing.

I wonder if you know homunculus by Cayce (3rd most read). This contains your favourite subgenre (feet).The storyline is interesting. Maybe you can go for a sequel of that story!?



Author's Response:

I have indeed read it and love it like most probably do. I'm fairly certain I'd be burned at the stake for trying to write a sequel to it, though.

By the way, I´m sorry for my language but my english is limited and I can´t communicate my ideas fine. I hope you understand.

That's all right. I think I understood everything.

En primer lugar, gran capítulo. Que digo grande, fabuloso. Que digo fabuloso, espectacular. Que digo espectacular, es... De hecho, creo que solo llega ha espectacular, y solo porque soy un "Footboy" hasta la medula. Y hace tiempo que extrañaba este tipo de situaciones en tramas tuyas.

Tratare de ordenar mis ideas e intentare explicar lo que quiero dar a entender en este comentario sin querer sonar pretensioso, grosero o egocentrico (tres adjetivos con los que tengo que lidiar en cada comentario porque lo ultimo que quiero es que mis palabras ofendan a alguien). Tengo tres cosas que comentar, las cuales dos tienen que ver con la historia. La otra son preguntas que quisiera que contestaras.

La primera creo que ya quedo plasmada la escencia en el primer parrafo. Hace tiempo que no ley de pies en tus historias, sobre todo en esta. Yo soy de los que lee las historias una vez finalizadas. Cuando descubrí por primera vez esta fue como por el 2012 o 2013, así que solo habria tenido algunos capítulos, y como no habia actualizaciones y tampoco dabas indicio de dar una, creí que esta historia se había ido al baúl de obras sin terminar. Así que que termine leyendola, para almenos saber de que trataba la trama. Y durante todos los capítulos no hubo uno que contubiera el concepto que más me atraia de este tipo de escritos. Los pies. Así que, aunque la disfrute, no fue algo que recordaría o destacara para mi, no porque no tratara con el concepto (el concepto es algo que para mí no destaca cuando la trama, por si sola mantiene al lector interesado, y a mi si que me interesa saber hacia donde se dirije esta historia) si no porque no estaba terminada. Pero ahorra que veo que esta historia continua y que has agregado un capítulo así, que trate el tema de los pies, solo espero que los vuelvas a retomar durante la trama y que la historia por fin vea la cercania de una conclusión (no poque quiera que termine, si no porque ya quiero leerla).

Lo segundo son pequeñas preguntas que quisiera que contestaras, aunque creo que una sonara más a petición que a pregunta.

-¿Habra un "Pequeño Chantaje 5" (A Little Blackmail 5)? Lei una pequeña nota por ahí al termino de unas de tus historias sobre una posible continuación de la serie. Aunque hasta ahorra no he topado con alguna otra confirmación. Y si es así, ¿de que tratara? ¿Veremos como Jack se desemvuelve en el mundo, donde por lo que leí en "La ley de los Archivos Pequeños" se puede controlar el tamaño de las personas?, o ¿lo veremos embarcarse en alguna especie de aventura?. Y, sobre todo, ¿descubriremos lo que fue de Carly?. 

- Aparte de "Time-out 7", ¿tienes alguna otra idea para una nueva historia? Cuando termino de leer la historia de algun autor, siempre me pregunto con que nueva trama, personajes y escenarios nos sorprendera.

-¿Alguna vez has pensado en escribir una historia con un orden matriarcal, donde los hombres son tratados como meras mascotas, esclavos o juguetes? Me gusta como los autores hacen volar su imaginación y crean su propio mundo futurista en situaciones como estas, además de que soy fan de este tipo de escenarios. Leí algo similar en tu historia "YouPet" , pero, además de que la mascota era mujer (algo que me es tan atractivo como si fuera un hombre), es una historia con un entorno muy cerrado, donde hombres también pueden ser participes, y los "YouPets" son creados para este fin; y las historias que normalmente busco son de hombres pequeños desenvolviendose en un mundo donde cada segundo corren un horrible y/o humillante destino a las manos de una mujer, si la mujer lo desea como mascota o halgo peor. Hace tiempo leí una historia de este tipo donde las mujeres tenian su propia sociedad y una parte de la poblaciónlos masculina se desarrollaban en pequeñas tribus y otra parte esta atrapada y siendo tratadas como mascota o alimento. Y antes de que especules que es de este sitio (porque si mi memoria no me falla, hay una historia de este tipo que tiene algo similar´pero solo como prologo, lo demás son solo dos adolescente torturando a pequeños hombres que parecen no tener ninguna especie de voluntad) la historia a la que me refiero esta escrita en itliano. No pienses que estoy exigiendo algo así y nada por el estilo, simplemente pregunto si nunca se te ha pasado por la cabeza una idea así o similar.

La ultima también tiene que ver con la historia. El capítulo termine léyendolo porque siempre que sale una actualización tuya, leo el pie de la pagina para saber si dejaste alguna nota. No tenía ninguna intención de leerlo hasta que mis ojos instintivamente se posarrón en un pequeño parrafo y lo que leí termino por inducirme a leer el resto para saber como es que Peter termino enfrente de los pies de la Sra. Watson. La primera vez que leí el escrito, los capítulos solo abarcaban el primer día de Peter en la escula y la actitud de la Sra. Watson no era como para que yo me esperrarase algo así y me quede muy emocionado con el resultado. Espero que en capítulos futuros Peter se encuentre en una situación en la que se le presente la oportunidad de masajear los pies de su madre y entre en alguna especie de conflicto mental y termine cediendo. Y que la situación con la Sra. Watson se repita, pero esta vez con Peter sediendo a las indirectas.

Se que dije que solo serían tres cosas (y que podría borrar esa parte y cambiarla por cuatro) pero esta es más solo una especie de elojio por tu gran trabajo. Desde que leí tu primer escrito, y segui con sus secuelas, me pregunta de donde habia salido tan loable mente creativa como esta. Y con cada nuevo escrito, la sensación de anonadamiento apenas si ha disminuido. Cada vez que pienso en alguna historia que mantenga el equilibrio perfecto entre concepto y trama, tenga personajes memorables, un buen desarrollo de estos y/o las tramás mantengan interesado de principio hasta la conclusión, no tengo que pensar dos veces antes de que tu nombre aparesca en mi mente.         

Espero que el comentario no paresca exagerado. Como dije, siempre me gusta leer la historia una vez que esta finaliza y siempre me gusta tomarme mi tiempo para disfrutarla (de hecho, apenas voy a comenzar a leer "Time-out 6"), y cuando termino de leer ya ha pasado un tiempo bastante considerable como para plasmar los pensamientos de uno. Así que basicamente, te he escrito todo lo que vengo guardando desde hace algun tiempo. 

Si mi comentario te ofendio de algun modo, me disculpo de antemano.

Sin nada más que añadir, me despido.

Bye :)                                                                                                    

PS:Si encuentras alguna discrepancia en el comentario, ten encuenta que te lo escribio alguien que no tiene el don de la palabra, y también que te solto todo lo que pensaba, casi, de golpe.



Author's Response:

I appreciate the thought you put into your response. In answer to your questions:

-Yes, there will be A Little Blackmail 5, just not immediately. Jack is trying to return to the real world but is still at his three-inch height, so he'll face troubles from that. We'll also see where Carly went.

-I have several ideas for new stories that I'll be posting soon, apart from Timeout 7. I have considered a matriarchial society story like you're describing, but haven't come up with an idea that I liked enough to write it. One of my upcoming stories could be seen as somewhat like this, though.

-There will be future chapters of this story where Peter encounters more feet. This scene with Ms. Watson is definitely not the last of this situation he'll face.

I'm glad you enjoy my stories. Thanks for reading and for taking the time to respond.

Heh! When it comes to dropping hints, Coach Watson is about as subtle as a ton of bricks.*


*And, no, I didn't read JimBob's review first! Imaginatively warped minds just think alike.

I suppose Watson just brings out the bricks in everyone's reviews.

Outstanding story

I literally made this account (I've mainly just been a lurker on this site) to tell you to keep doing what you are doing in this story

 

10/10 would read again 



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for doing that. I hope you like the upcoming chapters.

@ Olo: Maybe one of the Wicked Stepmothers. As the foot-fetishists might say: she'd be a "shoe-in," ;-)
