Oh come on!! I've never been angrier at a story’s cliffhanger than this. I hope you release a sequel soon!

I really enjoyed reading this story and I am really happy you were able to finish this installment. I really liked how Tor and Eric’s relationship evolved and can’t wait to see what happens to Eric since it seems he will have to face his father. Do you have an estimate for when the next part of this story will be posted?

I remember this being one of the first stories I read on here, back when it was at about chapter 4

I was amazed when I saw that little "completed" tag on it and instantly jumped in where I left off. That was a fun two hours or so.

On the story itself, I found the storytelling, grammar and all that excellent, but I feel it could have done a little more in the erotic department. Still probably the best thing I've read on this site

 

Author's Response: I started off with big plans for lots of fetish and erotica in this story. However, as it developed, the story grew and became one that focused much more on Tor’s and Eric’s relationship and Tor’s struggle. I’m glad you came back and read it! It’s flattering. ^.^

Ah, so the title "A Charmed Life" is like irony. I see. Well played. 

I really liked this story. Did it really take ten years to finish? I feel I've been reading it from the beginning was that ten years ago? How long have I been on this site?!

Love your detail work in this story. You really know a lot about horses, or have researched enough to appear like you know a lot about horses! Detail work like that really fleshes out the setting and it's something I'd like to know more about. Why do the giants seem more American expansionist western of the 1800's while humans seem like midieval europe? Maybe I'm just imagining that. It's cool I like it! 

The characters are really strong. Especially the relationship of the main two. Tor and Eric have such a wonderful and intimate friendship! I originally thought it was heading toward romance, but what has formed it delightful. I wouldn't hesitate to call her princeling a pet but it's also clear he's more than that to her. They've both changed each other and in some ways not for the better. The prince of chapter one might have been able to evade capture. Too many flapjacks and warm baths huh, prince boy? Soft! You can't afford to be soft on the frontier! 

Tor's brothers are well done too. Well at least the one's that matter. I honestly have trouble remembering anyone but Jason and Mick. Jason is delightfully slimey and entitled. I like that it doesn't just show in his personality but by the way he breeds his horses relying on his father's work. Mick is well....Mick. 

I'm kinda disappointed in Mick, and in Tor to be honest. She see's him with such contempt now as a spineless failure. (which he is) but I 'd argue she's failed him just as much as he failed her. They were both discriminated against for being children from a different mother. It feels like he took the brunt of that bullying. I kind of wonder what's been happening to Mick when we don't see him from Tor's perspective. This may be giving him too much credit, but I don't think he actually wanted to sign over his horses or even go on whatever that errand was. And Tor seemed too busy with her own horses and her rivalry with Jason to actually help him. Not everyone can be a tough, independent, cowgirl like her! Some people need help and Tor wasn't offering much. Just my hot take on that. I still have hope for Mick to redeem himself in part two. If he's not dead by then anyway. Tor's gone and even if she wasn't she's done with Mick. If Jason's still alive his anger's going toward someone.  

Great story. I feel the ending was a little abrupt, but I can understand that if you're planning a part 2! I look forward to it! :D

Author's Response: Yes, it really did take ten years! The first chapter of this story was published on DeviantArt in September 2008. I am so very flattered you’re reading my story! I started reading MAJOR/minor the other day. It’s very interesting. I adore Izzy so far. Yes, I do know a fair bit about horses and do thorough research when I’m not sure. As for the ending, I do know I needed to work on the flow but figured I would do that in the next round of edits. When it comes to Mick, I’ll look at fleshing out his side of the story where it fits. I do think he has a tale to tell but frequently gets drowned out by his stronger twin. Again, I’m so glad you enjoyed my story!

At first I had avoided reading the story simply because the sheer size of it intimidated me and I was more used to shorter stories that got to the action quickly. But when I finally did take the time to read out this story, wow, was it worth it. A nice long adventure, with a good build up, and when the smut finally does arrive it's absolutely amazing. I, for one, could read an entire saga on the lady with the northern schwa accent and her pet humans that she finds creative uses for. Great job, it's a good story and I'm looking forward to reading the ending. 

Author's Response:

Thanks! I'm posting the pentultimate chapter now. I'm so glad you're enjoying my work. And who knows? Maybe I will do more with Auntie June. ;)

Great stuff. I'm on the edge on my seat here, it seems like everyone has it out for poor Tor, no wonder she's such a stick in the mud, lol.

I will say something tho. Sometimes I forget this is a giantess story. It's probably the subject matter and there not being much size difference interaction but I think it's also the sort of non-chalant way things are "shown" if you get what I mean. Probably a writing style thing; most stories here make it a point even if there isn't any direct interaction between tiny/giant to write the scenes so certain camera or point of view descriptions remind the reader of the size thing... Anyway I'm still here along for the ride, just wanted to point out something i'd noticed.

Author's Response:

I understand. And probably when I go do editing, I'll include more things from Eric's point of view. However, it is difficult to get in his mind so to speak. He's such a ... weak character compared to Tor. He doesn't talk much. He's like that fat, lazy house cat that never does anything but is just *there.*

I will say this, in the sequal I have planned, he will be much more vocal...for reasons. :D I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for reviewing and sticking with my story! Much love. <3 <3

When the lurkmeister updated his story for the first time in two years, I immediately thought about this story because it's such a good story and also hadn't been updated in a long time. Good to see that you are ok and that the writing life force hasn't been sucked out of you!

Also good to hear that you have a nice place and a better job. I'm assuming you are a native English speaker/teacher (I'm not, so I'll compare to how my native language teacher was viewed), so comparing that to my experience students can already have a prejudice that you suck before you have done something that deserves it/without resonr. I hope your new job will be much better.

And also, I'm forgetting to say something about the story itself. Tor buying the piece of land for Eric's benefit was kind of heart warming, but the beating up part for nice clothes A bit less. Was it inspired by your last job ;)

Thanks for writing! Good to see you back!

I hope Tor will share her feelings with Eric, even if it isn’t a lot. Just small gestures that prove she does care, more than just as an owner. Awesome story though, hope you update soon

Author's Response: I am currently working on the next chapter! I’m a teacher, tho, so that slows everything down quite a bit until the end of May. But hopefully the next one will be up soon! I’m glad you enjoy my little project. ^.^
