That is good reasoning, I would think you would do well in court =D. Oh well, the story was great and do write some more.
Author's Response:
I finally decided to respond back to this. mostly because I felt it was funny that there is now a unaware tag on the site. I wonder if I helped that happen?

I merely got my definition from the site. If you go to browse - categories - giantess then look at the definition for voyuer, it says the giantess is not aware.
Author's Response:
I can see where you get your reasoning, but I still think from the standpoint of the human language, the two terms are quite different.
A Voyeur is basically someone who is in awe of "something" and secretly admires that thing, or has that perception, in this case it's almost always a description of a giantess victim.
Unaware is often applied to the destructive protagonist, not the victim, so a Voyeur may be present in a story in which a giantess is either aware or not aware. Of course unaware can also apply to the victim, in case of micro stories involving victim so small they are unable to identify where they are, both victim and protagonist are most likely unaware. In fact at micro sizes how can a Voyeur be present if he cannot even identify the thing he is in "awe of". Some stories have the giantess shrink men to microscopic size of course, while they are mentally aware of their victims presence they are not aware of the victims physical condition.
Unaware is a state of perception in which the subject does not physically or mentally acknowledge the presence of another thing, plain and simple.
Maybe now you can see why I think such a tag would be helpful at GW?

wow~ another transform and unware story, I love it very much. but... where is Tom?
my mail is:miniboy1980@gmail.com
I write some tf stories in another language, and maybe we can chat
Author's Response:
Tom was *spoiler* well, it's hinted as to what happens to him, without ever actually saying it, "I don't really want to ruin the msytery for you". If you read my other first story on GW, the charcters and plot device from my other story make a cameo appearence in this one. It's not directly said what happens to Tom, but basically it's up to the reader to put togther the clues to find out what happened to Tom. I think it's fun, but its not necassary, and it's still enjoyable, and there's still enough clues even without the other story to figure it out.
For me one of the fun things I like to do is leave certain information up for debate in a story, as this allows readers to fill in blank peices of information with thier brains. I forget what the actual effect is called in neuro science, but for an author it's crucial, because you can't fill in every hole or detail, and you wouldn't want to anyways. A story that says, "the brown cat was very cute," is less effective then the story that says, "that cat was so cute." Some reader might be put off by a brown cat or a specfifc breed of cat, but by not setting a fact like color or breed, we allow the reader to use thier imagination to create the image they want to see, it's a common trick by authors.
I'm actaully thinking of starting a series if I get ambitous enough, which would follow a "Team" of Agents who explore GTS and transformation phenomenon "in a world where GTS phneomom occur on a dialy basis without almost anyones knowledge.
Think X-Files or Torchwood but with a team of secret Agents specialized in GTS knowledge who go around investigating the disspearences of people, and covering it up like a big governmental secret. Specifically people who were shrunk, transformed, etc. The series would be able to branch into other GTS or Transformation stories, referencing my own works and maybe works of others later, I don't have specifics yet, it's jsut somethingI've been thinking of doing.
Of course the agents might meet chaarcters from other stroies, and might suffer casualties as well. It would have it's own origin thoery for magic, shrink ray guns, cursed objects, etc. It will not be like my other stories, and be a more serious story take, routed primarily in these kind of stories.
