Glad to see some crush.
Author's Response: Oh come on! There was plenty of crush so far, in almost every single chapter - but the story would never move forward, if I wanted to describe every tiniest detail. Use Your imagination - I believe in You :)

Great addition. I enjoy the micro POV. I hope to see more of it. Kinda bummed it may be until chapter 20 before I get more. I personally enjoy the crush aspects but I think you are doing well with the gentle. It gets old quick when a 10 mile tall woman battles micros. It's a slaughter. These accidental crushes and deaths are more fun LOL.
Of course being a foot fan I hope to see more barefoot or shoe crush but it's your story I'm not complaining or requesting.
Can't wait to see where you take it from here!!!
Author's Response: No worries - there will be crush. Keep in mind they barely got their zones... and I believe that empty crush/violence is meaningless and boring. I will try to squeeze some more pov in 9th - since I feel I owe some of what was missing in 5th. I assume You must have enjoyed the 2nd part of 5th chapter then? :)

Just curious, will there be any barefoot...stuff... or will the characters always have the white shoes on?
Anyways, I've been enjoying the story thus far, looking forward to the next installment.
Author's Response: Not trying to spoil much, let's just say - I think You will like what I planned for parts of the next chapter :)

Glad to hear you enjoy my old works :)
I no longer write but I collage over at giantess city under a different name.
Very excited for the micro perspective!!!
Normally I don't like such a descriptive story but its captivating!! Please keep it up.
Author's Response:
I think I will need to write a "meta" explanatory chapter after the interlude just to provide some reasons and details for what I am trying to accomplish here - and I am so happy to hear it was already enough to capture Your imagination :)
And the interlude is coming just.. ugh... 5k words and not even a third of the content - I simply hope it does not bore everyone to the death.

I hope she doesn't stop caring, she's the only one that seems to care any for them, ironic since they're supposed to be safeguarding the tinies.

I just wanna say, I for one LOVED the giga gentle!
Author's Response: I am so happy to hear that - I agree there is far too little understanding and compassionate giga's out there (for my taste at least) and I felt something needed to be done about it! However, I do not want to spoil the future developments, but how long do you think her concern can last...?

This is absolutely amazing. This is the best GTS story I've read in ages. I love it. My only gripe is you never described what Kate or the other girls are wearing especially "shoes" but I used my imagination. But this is awesome. I'm subscribing.
Author's Response: Thanks for the appreciation! As for details, no worries - everything is planned later (the interlude pov chapter 5, for instance), one could only squeeze so much into introductions - the chapters were already bloated - and it simply did not make sense to describe them from their perspective.. after all, who cares about their everyday footware much...
I know this may seem unusual for girls, but more details about why these would not care about it is also coming, albeit much later (not until chapter 18, I think). I think You will enjoy what happens in the meanwhile ;), and just as soon as I manage to write it down.
Thanks again for sharing the thoughts and if You have any more unusual suggestions at any point - feel free to contact/review about them, but I hope I have most of the regular stuff scheduled.

I read the intro as well. One thing I would like to nitpick about it was that 2,000 mile radius ship in the pacific that was sunk by blowing up some bombs. I think if anyone ever built something that large they would use compartmentalized hulls which could only be flooded in the damaged areas as opposed to the whole thing being sunk, because if you are going to build something that large it would be stupid not to take every precaution. Just my thoughts.
Author's Response:
Yes, I was not sture about this part for a minute - but the main thing is, that deep underwater nuclear detonations create significant pressure changes and with such scale plus water weight overhead - there will no materials able to stop flooding and hull tear, theoretically - and we are talking multi-megaton devices, which tend to generate a lot of energy, even if most of it escapes as gamma...
I also never said it was a single-compartment ship, just simply that if given enough time and effort, anything can be destroyed - for instance if most/all compartments get damaged - I just think somebody would have found a way with so many possibilities the assemblers give and it is hard if not impossible to protect against every single threat (that's why I'm also a bit scared for the future). Also - keep in mind that the ship was not yet complete (hmm, which part I may have missed in the description).
As for the logic and reason - at first I was going to describe a network of inter-connected undersea bases - but eventually went for a more "dramatic" approach - since it is not like it's a central point to the story or anything.
Besides - when was the last time anybody has seen a smart government? You know how the bureocracy works...
But I really do appreciate picking it up - it is the second least feasible thing that found its way into the intro, I believe ;)

I think this start is fantastic. I love the background, and really look forward to you continuing! :)
Author's Response:
Ah, somebody actually read the intro - I was getting worried.
As for the continuation - no worries, it's coming - I am just trying to think a few chapters ahead to keep the story consistent, which tends to distract a bit.
