Masterfully poignant. I tore through all four chapters in one reading!
Author's Response: Nice to see you again, it's been a long time!

You are doing an awesome job! Looking forward to the next part!
Author's Response: I will have to get started on the next chapter soon! I've been busy lately, which is causing delays in my writing progress. I do wish to continue my stories, but I'm hesitant to speculate on the time table. Sorry for making everyone wait.

Love where you're taking this!
Author's Response: Stick around, this is only the beginning! Wait until you see the chapter I'm working on now... It's a doozie.

Love the story line. Can’t wait to read more keep up the great work
Author's Response: In the movie, they had those buses with special seating for all the small people. It was like a wall of cubicles with a glass partition, probably plexiglass. I'm so tempted to write about the plane ride home with the small people being stowed in the floor along the aisle, with the flight attendants constantly walking over them. lol But I know that would be extremely unrealistic. They would never make planes like that. Imagine the complaints from the reduced passengers! haha

I can't wait to see where this goes! You're doing great!
Author's Response: I have to give most of the credit to the movie. Most of the stuff that's happened so far can be traced directly back to the film, at least the more interesting parts anyway. I definitely won't be riding the global warming train. I'll leave that to Hollywood. They excel at that.
Serious question, where is Bollywood? Can you imagine if they made their own version of the movie, with hot Indian actresses. Oh wow, that could be amazing. I think Bollywood would be more likely to take some risks with the good stuff.

Damn, I hoped Alexa would be visiting Smallville and for some giantess scene's.
But oh well, at least Daniel has a nice new home.
Thank you for writing! I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: I always intended for this to be more of a shrinking story than a giantess story. But don't give up on the idea. I've considered future chapters where Alexa visits Small Town with Dan. Maybe inspiration will strike!

The Downsizing movie itself was a bit dated. It seemed like a 15 year old script that was held up until the producers found money. One more thought about the film: Christolfe Waltz alluded to his relationship with his full sized wife but, unfortunately, the topic wasn't explored.
Unlike the movie, this story is great. Excellent pace, with detailed and well written descriptions about thoughts and motivation. The dialogue is also great, whether it's during the TV interview or when Alexa is finally face timed but has to go before she finds out about the reduction.
Thanks for the beginning of what appears to be a classic. My sincere hope is that every facet of the giantess genre is explored. Unlike some, I'm good with gentle, humiliation, or anger. Guess Who can flat out write! Even the responses to the reviews are entertaining in and of themselves.
PS-- I'm a Couples fan-- thought I'd slip that in to this review! It doesn't matter if Guess Who goes there or not because I'm in--no matter what is included. Thanks for the amazing entertainment.
Author's Response: If by Couples you mean Dan and Alexa having a full on relationship, you can count on that! It may not even stop there, but I don't want to spoil too much of the story. Be careful of elevating my writing beyond the level of amateur smut. I may not prove worthy of such high praise. I do try to make my stories entertaining!

::now that I've had some more coffee::
I completely understand that you don't want to burn yourself out. But I have to say, if this isn't the good part, I don't know if I can wait for the good stuff!
And just to add my two cents, I agree with the guy who was hoping the movie would have gone in this direction.
Author's Response: As far as the movie, I understand why it was lacking the "good stuff". It clearly wasn't intended to be smutty. I'm assuming they wanted a mainstream film that anyone could watch, like Honey I Shrunk the Kids. I know a lot of GTS fans were disappointed with the way the movie turned out, but as someone who writes fiction for a hobby, I can honestly say that I loved the movie! There were innuendos in that movie that I think more than a few people missed. They were dropping some serious hints at relationships between normal people and downsized people. I was a little disappointed by the GTS community's almost universal disapproval of the movie.

You're doing great! And I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: You make me want to post a new chapter every day! But I will have to slow down a bit. I don't want the quality of the story to suffer because I'm rushing it.

This story is great! I do like the story progression even if there wasnt as muxh feet related stuff in this 3rd chapter. Not sure where your heading but i think it would be awesome if he ordered her new comfort shoes and found a way to sneak into them and surprise her!
Author's Response: That would be dangerous! Look at what happened to poor Rajesh. He almost didn't make it!

Gotta say "Old" Chapter 2 is just as Awesome as "New" Chapter 2. I just finished reading this chapter and I'm already eager for the next one. Can't wait to see how she reacts when and how she fnds out.
I had it set so that I'd get updates for each of your stories individualy, adjusted it so I'll get a heads up for any other stories you might write. Greatly enjoying all of them so far after all
Author's Response: I'm tinkering around with a third story. It's percolating in my head. It wouldn't be as long as my current stories, but I love the idea. I'll probably start jotting it down soon.
Date: August 28 2018 9:54 PM Title: Chapter 3
Really like the new chapter (and the interlude chapter in there as well). Starting to set up the rest of the story. Definitely not goint too fast. In fact, I'm already anticipating the next chapter. Great playful dynamic with Alexa, I can imagine how much she will tease him once she finds out, let alone when they finally meet up in person.
Oh, was meaning to ask in my prior review, do you have a specific description or image/actual person that Alexa and Stephanie are based off of? Always interesting to visualize the characters as the author dreams them up (or bases them off of).
Author's Response: My characters are not based off real people. I've tried in the past to write stories, like you're saying, with characters based off a particular celebrity or whatever. That just doesn't work for me. You'd think it would be easier, right? I guess I prefer doing things the hard way.
I've seen writers who post something like a bio page at the beginning of their stories, with a list of all the characters and their measurements, eye color, hair color, etc. That doesn't work for me either. I prefer to spread those details throughout the story, kind of like a puzzle. I also like to be a little vague, on purpose. The reader's imagination can fill in the gaps. I think too much detail can be as bad as no detail at all.

I understand, it was not my intention to unnerve you, certainly not to any extent, let alone like in Misery. I never said you insulted me, nor did I mean to insinuate it. I have no expectations of you, I was asking you to change anything at all. Your writing is your writing, not mine, do as you see fit with it.
When I said "I need more positive macrophilia stories in my life" I wasn't asking you to do anything, merely being forthcoming about myself.
I have a habit of coming off as if I want authors to change their writing for me, even if I specically say its not their work that bothers me per se, perhaps I could have made that clearer.
I'm not asking anything of you, or any author, I am merely stating what I'd like to see more of, and believe me, if I could write stories I would, but I'm not talented enough for that, hence the conundrum I find myself in, of alienating authors and making them think I bare them ill will.
I. DO. NOT. MEAN. ANY. ILL. WILL.
Author's Response: You have not offended me. I am neither upset, nor angry. But it concerns me when someone tells me something like this: "And my heart certainly can't take it in fiction. I use fantasy to escape cruelty IRL."
My stories are pure fiction. They have nothing to do with reality. Whatever issues you are dealing with "IRL", I cannot help you with them. My stories were never intended to be therapeutic. I write smut. And I always make certain to include the disclaimer that my work is not appropriate for all audiences. I am not here to ruin anyone's day. I've issued all the warnings I could think of to prevent that from happening. There's not much else I can say. I wish you well. I can't guarantee my stories will always make you happy. There's no "safe space" to be found here. You should probably stop reading my stories.

I'm suspicious of Rajesh's situation, the whole thing seems too good, and given his responses, the fact that he barely speaks english, yet there is no translator besides the woman, I smell abuse.
I genuinely hope I'm wrong, I've seen too much abuuse in my life towards myself and others, too much cruelty, and I genuinely hope this fantasy story doesn't go down that road.
If this story does go that way, please let me know so I can stop reading, its nothing personal against you or readers who like this kind of macrophilia, I honestly need more positive macrophilia stories in my life, where the greater size imbues more responsibility to be ethical and humane, and not the opposite. There is never an excuse for megalomania in my opinion. And my heart certainly can't take it in fiction. I use fantasy to escape cruelty IRL.
Author's Response: With all due respect, it sounds like you are suffering from some psychological issues. I don't know you. I only make this conclusion based on your own words. Insulting you does not interest me in any way. That said, I cannot be expected to write my stories avoiding potential land mines that will possibly trigger you. You are a stranger to me. I don't know what upsets you. Your expectations of me are unrealistic. If you only want stories that follow a strict set of rules you have created, I respectfullly suggest attempting to write some stories yourself. Honestly, the whole thing reminds me of that Stephen King movie, Misery. I don't think I want a #1 fan.

Loving this story, and thank you for the "new" chapter 2. It was great :)

Can't wait until he meets up with Alexa!

I love the new chapter :D
I feel like ( guess that ) Alexa may have pulled some strings to get a television station to tell that story so on the chance that Daniel was watching he would think that his fetish is ok.
I can't wait for more keep up the good work :)
Author's Response: I figured that a world forever altered by unusual technology would have some unusual TV. Rest assured, this theme will be revisited.

Great set-up, look forward to what will happen next. Hopefully the next chapter is ready ASAP, I can't wait. I appreciate the attention to great detail to make it as realistic as possible.
I can't wait to find out Alexis's reaction. While I guess that she will be generally playful, I hope there is a least one chapter where the ex somehow is involved and can (or at least attempt) some revenge, given how even more disgusted she would be. Maybe something like after many visits from "Small Town" to see Alexa, maybe by accident they ship him to his ex wife's house accidentally by switching up the addresses on his file. Could you imagine her reaction to finding him arrive a few inches tall?
Author's Response: No worries, the next chapter will be ready soon. It's already written. Now I'm struggling to improve it in any small way I can think of. It's good, like really good, but I think I can make it just a tiny bit better. I see that you're thinking very far ahead in the plot. I'm sure many interesting things will happen between now and then. Stay tuned!
