I don't know why, but I feel like Charlie is already my new favorite character. He's rather quick at accepting his fate and has a sense of humor.

You may change your mind on him by the end

It's been awesome watching you mature into one of the best writers this fetish has ever seen, and doing it through this story.

Thanks for sharing this and all your other stuff, Jack.

That's crazy that this story is over. I didn't think the whole end was that great. But still love this story.

Thanks for reading/reviewing.

Lol had to go and check my first review because I didn't believe the 4yrs but damn...
This has been one hell of a ride Jack and I thank you for all the ups and downs.
There were definitely times when I thought I couldn't take it. What with the violence and Julia in general but I'm so glad I did. That ending was worth and had to brush back a few tears when they laid Beth, Anna and Goodwin to rest. That was a powerfully moving scene with the way you described sweet little Faith being so reverent was very endearing.

I really appreciate you ending it like that. Spoke to me on a personal level.

PS also when Brian showed Anna's parents their granddaughter to somehow fill the void left by Anna, well lets just say I had something in my eye there too.

Glad to hear you found the ending impactful. I tried my best to give all these characters a restful end after all I put them through in this story. Thanks for sticking with it even if the material was grimmer than your preferences.

A beautiful ending and I've made it through longer stories(some of which are -still- going) and it makes you really feel for the people involved be it alive or dead.

Also I was right on something pretaining to the teletech story you wrote but I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it.

Great epilogue, i love that they all ended living together. Makes sense, they are the only ones that can understand each other after camp Julia. 

And it's not surprising that Julia's parents would threaten to sue, but it's good to know they could do much against our heroes.

I'm not sure if I was aware of Giantess World back in 2011, but the curious fact is that even if I had been aware of the site back then, I probably would have taken one look at the tags and/or synopsis for Julia and given it a pass.  At that time, I had a much narrower appreciation of size-fantasy, and I had already seen plenty of underdeveloped psychotic giantesses tormenting tinies without care or nuance.  If any of my fantasies had featured "evil" giantesses, I typically wanted a "gentle" giantess to intervene (and triumph).

Since then, however, I have reflected deeply on where my desires might come from and allowed all sorts of ideas to surface.  I have also been exposed to talented creators in the size-fantasy community (I still marvel at how far we've come and how many interesting people have popped up), and this has really broadened my tastes.

I think I first took a good look at Julia sometime in 2014, after I first tried my own hand at writing size-fantasy stories and was looking around for other examples of thoughtful writing. The story came highly recommended, and I went back to the beginning and was immediately drawn in. The connection between horror and eros is well-understood, but it was oh so gratifying to see it applied to size-fantasy.  Being held in the hand of a giantess can be viscerally arousing, and it can be sickeningly terrifying.  In Julia, you showed how it could be both at the same time.

Thank you for picking this back up and seeing it through, although as someone who has spent months thinking about his own characters, I imagine you could hardly abandon Jack and Julia after investing years in them.

Your writing is a spectacular example of how complex-yet-consistent characters, tight plotting, smart dialogue, and evocative-yet-subtle imagery can ring the cherries even if one's favorite fetish tags aren't represented (although if you want to throw an insertion scene into The Freshman, I won't complain).

I know I count myself privileged to have stuck with you and this story for 75 chapters. Indeed, I feel doubly privileged because you actually _finished_ your epic! As opposed to starting out with an intriguing premise, but then running out of steam and just leaving it permanently unfinished on the increasingly unlikely pretext that you might "someday" return to it. Good authors _always_ finish what they start. And, to keep the large fan base you've had over these past four years (over 400 reviewers and almost HALF A MILLION! lurkers) proves, to me, that you...


...are a great author.

Thanks for sticking with it for so long. No matter how long it takes, I always finish my works (same goes for The Freshman, someday).

Wow its crazy to think that Ive been reading this story since day 1. I started this story when I was in highschool when my fetish was sort of new and awkward but here we are now.

Jacksmith Thanks for all the good stories and thx for all the ones your cooking up in that head of yours.

Like any good monster Julia isn't dead till you've thoroughly murdered her with all the firepower the army, navy, air force and marines could muster.

Good show all around, shame she won't live to meet Carly but I'm sure once they both slide into hell there will be a story there to tell.
