Only an idea Wholia.
Riches are giants and poor people smaller.
Understand?
:D
Author's Response:
Hallo:
Yes, I understand. But I don't think I can do that in this story anymore. Maybe in another one, but right now I don't think I'll be doing that. But thanks for the suggestion.

Certainly, one could nitpick all day about the logic of one nation's size relative to another, like South Koreans averaging 22 times the height of North Koreans. But, as you said in response to another review, we could also ask how the Dutch can even stand up under their own weight while we're at it. As with time travel, stories in this genre can be very easy to pick apart if I want to. But, I don't; in fact, I love the basic premise of this series.
What's more important than the believability of the situation, I think, is the believability of the characters, and I'd say you're doing a great job with that. The two young women we've met so far are neither carbon copies of each other merely in different shades of skin nor are they caricatures of their homelands. It's good to see people of various ethnicities differing in size yet engaging each other largely as equals, outside of the dynamic of a modern person stumbling upon some primitive, isolated civilization. Daniel obviously has some things to learn about the great big world and its great big girls, but I don't think he's the only one who will learn from his experiences.

Hallo:
I'm extremely thankful about your comment. Not only because you say some nice things about my story, but also because you took the time to actually write two paragraphs. I agree with you, though. There are some things hard to explain or make logical sense in the whole setting. I was actually trying to ask the reader to bear with me here. I know that many people reading this would wonder how some aspects of life in general would work. Like the one you said of the Koreans. It's obviously kind of funny seeing them at so different scales. But this story is just for entertaining purposes. I don't think some details like these keep it from fulfilling that objective. So if the reader could just ignore those hard to explain situations, the story itself might be enjoyable.
Second, I appreciate that you enjoy the character developement as well. Many people here only care about what the characters actually do, and not what they think, feel, etc. Some even find it boring. So it's actually very nice to see that it's not all in vain. I hope you continue enjoying the story, and again, thank you so much for your comment.

I make a story where the wealth determinates the size of people. Riches are bigger, and poor smaller.
But this story are in portuguese.
Can you make one with your vision and thematic?
Sorry for my english :D

I'm not really sure what you're asking me here, I'm sorry.

I am really enjoying this story, it's very cute! If only the real world was like that, with every nation being different sizes, I might actually make an effort to travel more, lol!

Hallo:
Thank you for commenting. I'm glad you're enjoying it, too. Hope you'll like the next chapters too.

The chapter made me chuckle, good job!
Author's Response:
Hallo:
Thank you for the comment. I'm glad to hear that. I actually got a few giggles while writing it, too, so it's a good thing I'm not the only one.

Am just wondeing about the size for the United States or for anyone that is a mix race. How tall would someone be if they were 50% finnish and 25% spanish and Irish but grow up in the United States?
Author's Response:
Hallo:
That's a very good question, and you're not the first one. I guess in this universe, people started changing sizes after the mix of races. So someone of many heritages could exist, if it happened before the sizes got too uneven to mix anymore. I honestly didn't really get into this point too much because it's still fiction. Like many people don't really explain why giants don't collapse with their own weights or how do tinies breath oxigen with tiny lungs, etc. I just ask the reader to go with it. People from different countries are different sizes, no further explanation needed.
Again, however, thanks a lot for commenting. I appreciate this kind of questions too.

As an American I LOVEDthe confusion over American vs. Canadian English! It's my fondest wish, in fact, that someday, someone will make a movie about WWII, where the British army officer has a Canadian adjutant as an interpreter of American English.*
*LOL!
Author's Response:
Hallo:
Well, to be honest, to many people who don't speak English as a first language, it's really hard to detect the accent as American or Canadian.

"Americans are huge, silly!"
It's funny because it's true. Canadians must feel really insulted when they are mistaken for people from the U.S.A. Anyway, fun chapter, I enjoyed it.
Author's Response:
Hallo:
Thanks a lot for the comment. And yeah, I bet it's not a good experience to be mistaken for Americans.

I love your stories.
Please make any situation with sports like olympian giantess, and give more giantess to the stories.
The best of the giantess and tinies are interactions :D
Thx
Author's Response:
Hallo:
Thanks a lot for reading and for commenting. Of course, I'll try to put more interaction as the story continues. This is just the beginning.

I like the prologue, despite it being very short. Although I have to ask why there is a list of countries, many of which on the face of it, seem to be irrelevant to the story.
Author's Response:
Hallo:
Thanks for your comment. That's a very valid question. There are two reasons, actually. First of all, I use the same table of sizes in other stories, so even if most of them aren't mentioned here, that doesn't mean they don't appear already (or will appear) in other stories. Second, I will be introducing more characters in this story. This is just the first chapter. Plus, I like to have more options open in case the situation presents itself to put more characters in the story. I really don't have all the chapters figured out yet, so they might come handy later.
Also, thanks a lot for reading and taking the time to comment.

Great job. I really hope to see more of this story. Love the character as well as the size difference. It's was a very cute scene when she got drunk, most authors make them just angry but you wrote the gentle albeit clumsy perfectly.
aaron
Ps can't wait to see the other sizes too.
Author's Response:
Hallo:
Thanks a lot, really. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. And don't worry, there will be many other sizes. This is just beginning. Thanks again.
