I'm going on vacation (away from the interwebz), so it looks like I'll have to wait until I get back for the epilogue.  That's alright; Jack's waited two and half years (Was Chapter 1 really written in Nov 2011, or earlier?).

Well, you got me.  I didn't expect Jack to survive with all of his appendages undigested, and I certainly didn't expect him to end up with a full-size guardian in Gina.  The macrophile fanboy in me (or, rather, in my pants) would prefer he not find a way to regain his normal size, but the realistic tone you've struck with this story argues that none of the survivors would want to remain tiny.

Good old Art.  Pace Jack, looks like someone knew Miss Mack pretty well, too.

Faith's "Baby's First Memories" book is going to come with a Content Warning.  When she turns 16, will she ask her parents for a car or a PMRD?

Well done!  A catharsis worthy of Euripides or Tarantino.

Author's Response:

Chapter 1 was actually written in January or February of 2011. So this has been a looong time coming.

Glad I was able to surprise you! It's probably more likely Faith would ask for a car, though, considering how she was portrayed in The Shrink Act Files.

Thanks so much for reading/reviewing.

I've been sick in bed the past few days and I'm literally checking this story every hour to see if the finale is done. -_-

Author's Response:

Hehe. The finale will be posted tomorrow, so the wait is almost over.

Top Ten Julia Characters
(Spoilers)

10. Jim
This character may have only been in a flashback from Chapter One, but he left a lasting impression on his house mates. After being fed up with Julia's mistreatment, he stood up, and was tortured and executed in front of Jack and the group. It's because of his death that the others are so afraid of Julia.

9. Kelly
This former nurse is always trying to help her team. Trying to keep peace in the doll house when necessary, and knowing when justice needs to be served, she gets the payment she deserves and escapes Julia's house of horrors.

8. Anna
The ill-fated member of the original five, Brian's beloved and Faith's mother just wants to see the group succeed, but she sadly dies giving life to Faith, leaving no dry eyes in Giantess World.

7. Faith
Anna and Brian's beautiful daughter is the ultimate symbol of hope for Jack, Brian and the rest, giving Brian a reason to fight for, as the last part of Anna left.

6. Dr. Arthur Goodwin
The inventor of the PMRD, and one of Julia's original victims started off as sick and scummy to Jack, Brian and Kelly, but they soon realize that he paid for what he did much more than them, and he redeems himself in the group's eyes.

5. Charlie
Talk about scummy, this is THE scumbag. Never fully on anyone's side, he's the ultimate traitor, who ends up killing Beth in hopes of getting close to Julia, only to get killed by the girl he strived for. Payback's a bitch.

4. Gina
Afraid of heights and Julia, Jack's girlfriend is his reason to fight, and how he keeps his sanity. She may start off scared, and reliant on Jack, but through help from Jack, herself and even Julia, she's able to overcome her fears and stand up to Julia.

3. Jack
The protagonist and narrator of Julia, he was the first hostage, and is the one sent as a double agent by the group to Julia. His love for Gina stays strong no matter how much he is abused by Julia.

2. Brian
Father, teacher, mastermind, martyr. These are just four words we could use to describe this poor guy. Losing Anna and Beth may have hardened him, but he still has feelings. A man who will stand up to Julia no matter what, his sacrifice makes him come full circle, as he finally took the ultimate stand against her.

1. Julia Mack
This psychological and physical monster is by far the meanest and most terrifying character on the site. Always balancing on the tightrope of cuteness and psychopathy, until the end, in which she falls off completely, after constantly being betrayed by the one she trusted the most, yet at the same time, it's fully deserved. The ultimate bitch had to come down, and this story is all about that.

Author's Response:

I appreciate the thoughtful stances on the characters; certainly I wouldn't have expected to see them ranked. Thanks for reading!

One left, just one...one you say?

 

Well then I guess I'll be right here waiting, same Julia time, same Julia channel.

Author's Response:

ONLY on the Julia network!

I think, at this rate, chapter 75 is going to be depicting a Pyrrhic victory.

Author's Response:

Certainly it's been a costly road for the characters, whether the ending is good or bad.

"I can't believe I missed out. Was that just a one-time offer?" Yah, they had too much fun with the taunting part of the plan. And a smart Cyclops Julia would have turned around after the clothesline.  Just goes to show that at this point no one's at the top of their game.

I hope the finale's appropriately gory. You can't raise the stakes and then leave us hanging. I think that principle is called Chekhov's Guppy.

Author's Response:

Well, they gotta try to have a little fun, considering they might all die if this doesn't go well. Things have gone wild enough that no one, Julia included, is thinking straight anymore.

I won't spoil what's to come, but there will indeed be some grittiness.

Let's hope those arms don't get jammed. That would make an awkward scenario.
Jack and Brian: YAAAAAAH! *click click click*
Julia: ...
Gina: ...
Jack: So, listen, I still love you baby, I promise I'm not like that Charlie douche, I love you, so just give us another chance, I know in the bottom of you-
Julia: *eats Jack*
Brian: Damnit Goodwin!
Goodwin: What did I do?
Brian: You messed up everything AGAIN!
Goodwin: Oh no.
Julia: *eats Brian and Goodwin
Gina: Men.
I lost track haven't i? Great chapter as always, Jacksmith. Just one question I've been wondering- is there any connection whatsoever between one of these characters and one in A Little Blackmail? I know they take place in the same world, but it's just a little bit of world building I was thinking about. Oh well. Try to get this next chapter done soon, we've been waiting on your cliffhangers so long some of us have fallen off the proverbial cliff. I don't know how to end this rant (not really a rant) so I just will.

Author's Response:

This is the moment where the studio audience bursts into spontaneous applause and laughter.

There will be a slight connection between these characters and the ones in A Little Blackmail 5. And the next chapter is in the works.

Good story (just wanted to be the 400th review) one question i have about anotger story though, will jack from a little blackmails thoughts be shared on how he feels about the fact that other people can be shrunk on command?

Author's Response:

A Little Blackmail takes place before the invention of the shrink ray, so Jack actually can't have an opinion on it yet.

While they were running I couldn't stop thinking of a stupid kid movie with John Goodman - he has a stethoscope and he's looking for two little (elves, whatever) hiding like our heroes.

And "baby Julia" - it was pretty clear she wouldn't let Brian pick a name, but naming her in her 1st little speech was one of Julia's best moves imho.

And "the sound of chain links ticking", I thought it was a dog.

And for all they know she might shrink the maid.

And "The living room is huge, even" - "even"???

Aaaaand... back to reading dammit!

Author's Response:

Now there's an interesting connection. Glad you liked Julia's name pick. Shrinking the maid is a possibility, though Julia's smart enough to know when to pick people who would be missed and eventually lead back to her. As always, I appreciate your thoughts.
