Gotta love how nonchalant she is about all this.

Nonchalant is the new sexy, after all

Can't wait to meet this Nancy and see what she has in store. Good chapter, I like the way you set the mood for what's to come. I like that Judy tells him what's coming, trying to reduce its importance and making it sound like it is pish posh. In a way, she agrees and almost endorse what's going to happen. good and clever.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading. Nancy has actually appeared before in an earlier story, though her role here will be pretty different. And you're right, Judy is amused by the idea of her son being toyed with as long as he isn't permanently hurt.

Maggie is good at tactics, Mrs Stevens is at her best when it comes to strategy... really, it's difficult to comment her actions (or her plans!) after just two chapters :)
For now I'll just say that MrSirk's idea makes a lot of sense.
Except that, well, that "Mommy loves you" sounds a lot like she's talking about whatever she has in store for him (and is of course for his own good, as always)
Author's Response:
Maggie and Judy are almost always scheming, though the difference is that Maggie's usually doing it for a short-term game she's playing with Scott, while Judy usually has a lengthier agenda. Judy isn't necessarily lying when she says that to him, but her definition of the word is obviously much more twisted than it is for most parents...

It's the Stevens girls, of course he's not. Great chapter and oddly my first thought at the visitor was Carly for some reason.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reviewing! Interesting thought, though luckily for Scott, I'm not a mean enough writer that I'd put him through something with Carly when he's already got Judy and Maggie.

Great chapter. Just was sending Scott alone to his room wise on Judy's part? Now he's easy prey for Maggie.(unless that was Judy's plan and using Scott as bait) I honestly can't believe Maggie took the news as well as she did, but seeing as Judy has all the power I'm sure she knows it's in her best interest to keep her happy. I can't wait to see what happens next.

PS is Judy campaigning for senate or governor?(I can't remember)
Author's Response:
Scott's "room" is actually on the living room couch now that he's under house arrest, so Judy would probably hear Maggie coming to get him. You're right that Maggie does recognize Judy's authority in situations like this and knows keeping her happy is important. And Judy is campaigning for Senate.

Okay I'm gonna guess Judy's running a long con on Scott. She's basically won at this point Scott's shrunk at all times now. It works best for her if she can somehow convince him being shrunk is what's best for him as well. I think if she gets her way he'll be tiny long after he's served his time.
Author's Response:
Good reading there. It is indeed in Judy's best interest for Scott to begin to eventually feel contented, or at least complacent, with his situation.

Very good chapter. It feels like calm before storm. And for some reason I wish the poor guys go back in the cleats again.... eh lala.
Thanks for keeping up!
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! He won't be going in the cleats again this story, though he's still going to find himself in that general area for a lot of it.

As as Maggie is concerned, was Scott so bad to her to warrant that treatment? I'm thinking back to another of your stories where a brother is shrunk and the sister treats him badly for years, but turns out that she had some form of misplaced affection for him, declaring that he belonged to her.
With Judy, you're screwing with my mind now. All other instances we've seen of Judy, she's been mentally and physically abusing her son. Not out of any apparent malice, but she seems to derive some pleasure from his abuse. In this chapter, she's all mommy sweetness now. Acting as a mother should. To protect and comfort her son.
I have a feeling things will go back to normal tomorrow. I wish that it wouldn't. Its moments like this chapter that I like best.
Author's Response:
I'm hesitant to give too much away about Maggie. I will say she does have better reason than Carly to do what she does, though there are still several underlying factors that have damaged her to the point that she's willing to treat him like that.
Judy is acting all mommy-sweetness for a particular reason, though it won't last forever.

Looks like we are split in two - I'mwith (at least) tylby, aaron, MaximusMarauder: Judy is the best!
I have no idea what she has in mind, or exactly how she's going to make sure it never happens again; for all I know, she may have been planning his future years at the computer while he was with her ("you have no idea" :)
Author's Response:
Hehe. Well, Judy is definitely up to something, so who knows what was going on with that computer? There's still plenty of Judy to come in the story.

What struck me in these chapters with Maggie is that he doesn't ask for water.
If he's not thirsty, I don't want to know it.
If he's afraid of asking - idem.
Author's Response:
Interesting thought. He probably is thirsty, but figures he's better off not trying to ask for anything, so Maggie doesn't get more ammo to tease him with.

This was my kinda chapter. Was very pleased with how everything transpired. Of course I'm a little biased seeing as how Judy is my favorite character. At any rate I'm wondering if Judy has taken exception to what Maggie did to Scott? At least that's what it seems like to me. Maybe she thinks Maggie deserves to be punished...
I have to admit that I was wrong. Not having Judy in the story until now has made her first appearance that much better. Well done and I can't wait to see what's happens next.

PS love how you kept enforcing how big Judy is and how dominate she is even when at his biggest. Also, the fact that his barely bigger than her size 12's.
Author's Response:
Judy did indeed take exception, and there will be fallout from that later on. Glad you enjoyed Judy's first appearance in the story. And since she's kind of the antagonistic center of the series, her dominance is something I intend to keep on reminding the reader of.
Date: August 20 2014 7:49 PM Title: Chapter 1: MVP
This is truthfully my favourite series on here. You write with a brilliant, well-composed sense of style and description; I eagerly await each chapter day and night, so thank you for keeping me on the edge of my seat.
Personally, I'm more of a fan of the Judy chapters--I find the dominance she has over her son so incredibly sexy--but it is your story, so I look forward to the twists and turns that will unfold.
Thank you very much, Jacksmith!
Author's Response:
Thanks for reviewing! I appreciate your comment on my writing. There will still be plenty more Judy throughout the rest of the story, so I hope you enjoy that as well.

She can even dehumanize him while not trying to, well played Ms. Stevens.
Author's Response:
Well, she's definitely had plenty of practice!
Date: August 20 2014 10:45 AM Title: Chapter 1: MVP
That was . . . confusing and a huge departure from her usual treatment of Scott. It actually seems like she . . . cares. I don't know if this is momentary lapse of hers, or she's a schizo. The only conclusion I can come up with is that Scott's been behaving himself, acting in a manner that she thinks he should, and even "affectionately". He's being rewarded with being treated almost human. I remain cautious as things can always flip in an instant. I was kind of hoping that Scott could have some quality time with Maggie's friend. I get the warm fuzzies everytime a little guy is treated nicely and affectionately.
Author's Response:
Scott's equally confused. All I'll say is that there's a reason for every action Judy takes; she's pretty calculating, and almost always has some kind of agenda. And Scott will get some warm-fuzzy time with Maggie's friend later on in the story.
Date: August 20 2014 7:54 AM Title: Chapter 5: Judy to the Rescue
I think Scott has a lot more power fthan he gives himself credit for. Maybe not from a physical stand point or any sort of authority, but from a social angle he could be quite dangerous. Mother and daughter seem to have some subtle territorial disputes over the little man. If he somehow pits them against each other?...Fireworks!!
Good chapter. It's nice to see Scott eek out some fragments of happiness and such a shitty situation.
Author's Response:
You're right to question the power balance here. Judy has her own goals just as much as Maggie, and they don't always crossover. Thanks for reading!
