Ok first off I’m still reading but I have a few things to say first off 27k words good lord dude I was expecting maybe 15-20k words, that is an crazy amount, love it and what I read so far, I am not surprised they don’t want her reading but seesh, Also Harper communications really of all majors she is communication, I just don’t see it.
Back to reading
Author's Response:
Ugh, I know! Never going to do that again. I just had to hit that plot point or else the story was going to drag on forever.
Ha! Soon, you'll find out more about the giantesses and their majors and why they are enrolled in Queenston. If you're interested, I can reveal Annabelle's major too.
Thanks as always Ralgar for your comments!

Ok something else I have thought about besides the workout scene is that I think the girls are leaving Annabell with way to much time on her hands, they should give her things to do or read during the hours. They are not around.
Also well if she really is their pet would it kill them to u know actually play with her, ( not sexually related either) like hide and seek I think would be good, or some variation of fetch or something, playing that even annabelle could maybe get into, get her mind off her shit situation for a while,
also I know she hates them( every right to) but like Steven said through them a damn bone to get them to back off,.
Author's Response:
It's so funny you mentioned reading. They talk about this in the most recent chapter. I'll probably elaborate in later chapters on why they don't want her reading, but it's kind of easy to infer if you think about it.
The giantesses are definitely more, "Color the pretty pictures, Poppy" kind of owners. In upcoming chapters they're going to be spending a lot of time with Poppy, so you'll be able to see how they spend their days.

Well as it turns out I have one more question and if it’s spoilers that’s ok I can wait but is Izzy a type-0, the reason I ask is because a little bit of her section very much reads like Anna’s just prior to her shrinking, what with all the bad vibes she was getting. From the 4. Now the big thing against this is that she didn’t consider a shrunken being captive if she felt a vibration from inside the crystal and I would think a shrunken would consider the possibility of a cause being a shrunken, but yea I read her section carefully ,( I love POV changes) and I get some interesting ideas from her POV.
Author's Response: Ha! I really like Izzy. She'll come back, but in a very minimal way. If she is a Type 0, then you would only see it in a spin-off ¯_(ツ)_/¯¯
Date: January 20 2022 11:00 AM Title: Chapter 25
I typically don't go for shrunken woman stories, but the tale you've weaved is incredibly intriguing, full of mystery, and inner conflict. It's one of those things where the giantess stuff, even though it plays a major part of the story, sort of plays second fiddle to the struggle of the protagonist, Annabelle.
And you've definitely made me root for Annabelle, not for that Poppy loony.
As for speculation, I've been wondering, considering FF's actions now, if there's a second aspect to the imprinting aspect, where the type 0 is able to convey a certain obsession, or domination over his/her supposed protector. It would be interesting, not to mention, most satisfying and triumphant, if Annabelle is able to turn the tables like that.
Author's Response:
Thank you Divedivebrners! I'll admit I made my protagonist a teen girl, because I noticed the stories that get a lot of engagement are the shrunken men stories (which, I mean I get it). It was kind of a challenge to myself to see if I could write a female protagonist that people would find compelling.
I like reading everyone's theories about imprinting, and yours is really intriguing. I can't say much about it, but the further chapters will discuss imprinting more.
Thanks for the review, Divediveburners!

My PC broke down during the weekend and I finally managed to get it to connect. What is the first thing I do? I go wash the dishes LOL
Poppy, Poppy, Poppy... I like when she kisses Annabelle. I like how she kisses Annabelle. Am I shipping Anna with Poppy? Am I? Of course I am! And my goddesses, she is strong! It seems she took out Bitsy and Managed to overpower Steven like it was nothing.
I could say Poppy is stronger because Anna is a especial kind of type 0 and other things... but I want to wait the next chapters. Maybe we will get more info on her mother or more interactions that flash out what exactly is the deal with Anna, Poppy and imprinting.
Now that I think about it, Anna’s train of thought during chapter 24 could be foreshadowing Bitsy’s master death. How a type 0 react to their master’s death?
Ralgar made a comment about the giantesses working out. It’s an interesting set. Maybe Anna on Molly’s bellybutton or Harper’s armpits, helping with exercises – but only managing to tickle and make then horny.
That’s it for now. I will wait the next chapter to comment more. But take care of yourself, please. Don’t overwork and don’t worry. I think I talk for every single fan of your story and characters when I say your health comes first.
And about writing, I am trying my hand on short story and drafiting concepts. Your replies are a great incentive. Thanks and I hope you are feeling better. See you on the next chapter!
Author's Response:
Ha, sorry about your PC, Mr. In a Suit.
Lol you're the first person to ship Poppy with Annabelle. I definitely can get on board, there's nothing wrong with a little Loki-esque situationship.
All of your imprinting theories are so interesting. I know you probably perked up at the most recent chapter with all the Blood-Blessed stuff. Slowly--slowly more will be revealed.
Also, I think short stories--especially flash fiction--is a great way to get into it.

There was one other thing I thought of, I wonder how Anne bell would react if the giantesses actually worked out in front of her, she seams to always be amazed by how they move and stuff I just wonder if she would be drawn to it, like a moth to light and just as dangerous.
I doubt they do work out, but I do think they are losing out on prime enthralling opportunitty.
Author's Response:
I have a scene that is kind of like that in the next chapter (it actually will be the first scene if I don't change anything.) It's spicy (?), but Annabelle may react to it differently than how you might be thinking.

I do have one more question, in the past u said u thought this story would be wrapped up around thirty chapters, now is that still going to happen u think or will it be more now, just asking cause with all the balls u still have up in the air I can’t see it being done in under ten more chapters at least, which is totally fine, I love this story and really want it to go the distsnce. I have no desire for this story to end anytime soon is what I am saying
Author's Response:
Ha! I was naïve back then. Right now I'm shooting for under 40 chapters. There are just certain plot points I need to hit. I'm glad you're still enjoying the story, Ralgar.

Anna deserves some massive credit for still fighting for other people given all she was up against in this hellscape. You really feel for her trying to balance so much on her plate whilst keeping her friends safe and placating the whims of four titanic brats all at the same time.
----
Steven seems like he would've been a great therapist if this whole shrinking thing did not happen to him. He got Anna to reveal some of her deepest traumas just by conversing with her during their overnights. I do kind of understand the fear shrinkies would have of not wanting to bring kids into this kind of world...we're witness why that makes sense with every chapter you write to be fair.
Poppy really is pushing hard for the Goddesses it would seem, she must be high into massive terroristic college girls...I sort of don't blame her.
-----
Anna went full Russian sleeper agent it seems, Poppy seems to have Jason Voorhees levels of focus and determination when eliminating her -obstacles- in lew of getting poor Anna to surrender her humanity. Still Anna made a lot of progress in this chapter, she got a little sidetracked by Poppy but she is at least trending towards a sliver of hope that even if she doesn't escape she can at least not lose her humanity.
Author's Response:
Hey Adam,
Right? Annabelle is definitely one of the more selfless characters I've written.
--
Steven does seem to be adapt at getting Annabelle to open up. And Poppy is probably about as obsessed with the giantesses as they are with her,
--
Ha! Annabelle definitely needs to watch out for Poppy. They both want her body, but there's only room enough for one of them. I also think Annabelle's humanity is the core of this story, It's kind of the flickering candlelight in the dark chaotic storm that is the giantesses.

Hmmm well I am sorry I are sick plz get better soon. Well none of this bodes well. I can’t wait until next chapter then, when ever it is, and Thankyou for this update,
Man just as I begin to mostly tolerate the giantesses u go and remind me just how terrible they really are, very spicy scene and very dominating , also every thing with poppy is getting horrifying now that we see what she can be like,. Yes I am rdy for your behemoth of a chapter when ever u are capable.
Author's Response:
Thanks Ralgar, I've been feeling better. Lol I always think comments like these are funny, because some people really like the giantesses (understandable, I love them) but they forget that they are insanely cruel to certain people.
I still have some scenes to write for the behemoth chapter. It's not my favorite chapter, but it's a necessary chapter. It's plot heavy, but full of giantesses scenes and action. It's probably my most action-filled chapter so far.
I hope you guys like it.

Been awhile since I have been here so first of all hello, secondly story is still amazing, still waiting for Naomi to have some fun time with Anna. Also to the previous commenter I can answer your question about butt stuff as I asked earlier in the series and the answer was yes we will receive some so look forward to it.
Author's Response:
What goes on Tigerchevy! Thanks for coming back to this never-ending story. Lol Naomi's backstory is coming up in a few chapters, and with that comes some spicy scenes.
Thanks Tigerchevy for commenting, hope you had a good New Year!
Date: January 02 2022 11:32 PM Title: Chapter 24
I do apologize but I was wondering when the next chapter might be. I don’t usually ask this question but your story is incredible and I am very ready for what happens next.
Does she decide to actually unload to one of the girls ( very unlikely), does she get in touch with dufert( poor guy). Does she decide to become a willing pet ( again very unlikely,).I can’t wait to find out the answers to these and more questions.
Also I do have a question, let’s say some how situation reversed at the current point in the story, pst chapter 24, I mean Anna becomes big and the 4 become small, would she kill them at this point or keep them alive. I think she would at this point keep them alive if reluctantly I do think she is starting to care for them. Early in the story yeah no question dead. But after the zoey incident and the Bennett’s incident I do think she does somewhat cared for them if still hates them. I also think hate and love are two sides of the same coin. So hmmm yea.
so yea I don’t normally ask the question of how long but i am very much looking forward to the next chapter. Also hope u had a good holiday.
Author's Response:
I wanted to address your suggestions for spicy scenes, since I haven't been commenting on the actual posts. Whenever I see a suggestion, I add it to my writing document in my notes section, and if it fits the scene I add it. Without spoiling too much, at least one of your suggestions was taken, and it will be in an upcoming chapter.
Regarding your question, I actually have been thinking of making a "What If" series for this story, and that was one of the prompts. I know Annabelle has expressed wanting the giantesses dead in multiple instances in which she was distressed, but the actual act of killing a person is something else entirely.
And there's no harm in asking when the next chapter is going to be. It reminds me that there are still people reading this story. I love going through all of the comments you post, Ralgar, because I can tell you're commenting as you're reading, and that's very cool to see.

By the way I’ve been meaning to mention that my sympathy for her father will completely depend on what we find out when we finally get her details ( which by the way u are a total tease,( and I do mean that in the nicest way). But her father up and disappeared for a year after her sisters death, that for me is grounds to be dishoned as a father, I lost one child u still have another u don’t just up and vanish especially after giving your remaining child a wrong phone number and, and depending on who’s mistake that was ( meaning annelles for calling the wrong number for a year or him giving a wrong number) may even make his abandonment even worse.
So I will wait judgement on him, but if he is found wonting I will say this, Anne should stop protecting him and let girls do what they will.
my opinion of fathers who abandon their child is very low.
Author's Response:
I mean I'm with you on that one, Ralgar. When Annabelle's backstory is revealed, you'll be able to make a well-informed judgment on his character,
For what it's worth, I also struggle every time I publish to not simply submit the entirety of Annabelle's backstory with no context. I sometimes just want to blurt it out, but I know the waiting will make the reveal feel more deserved.

Their is some thing I’ve been meaning to ask, if u don’t want to that’s fine, but I was wondering if u we’re going to do stuff butt related cause to be fair that is a thing for me and I would be really interested in seeing your take on it, ( poor Annabelle though) i know she wouldn’t enjoy it at all and would prob feel even more disgusted after but dang if it wouldn’t be hot.
Date: December 16 2021 5:47 PM Title: Chapter 24
Finally something that gives Annabelle something to work with! I think part of what made things so grim was that things seemed completely hopeless. Annabelle's descent into imprinting was looking inevitable. Poppy kept overtaking her thoughts and Annabelle had no real way of stopping it, now she has some form of defense against Poppy and that really makes things interesting.
It's a fun dynamic considering the giantesses adore her, and are pushing her towards imprinting, but now she'll be able to frustrate them presumably with this new information she has, at the very least delaying her imprinting for awhile. As long as they don't know what she's doing, they can't reasonably get upset at her for not imprinting, after all in their mind it's out of Annabelle's control.
I was so damn ready to say "fuck these other shrinkies" before the reveal that Steven was an ally. I kinda figured one of them would be after your response to my last review, but still ended up being a pleasant surprise.
I can't ignore the looming feeling that Steven and Bitsy are in danger from the other giantesses though. I don't THINK they'd try to kidnap them even if they could, after all what use is a type-0 whose already imprinted on someone else. But if they found out Steven hasn't imprinted I could totally see them trying to mentally break him and keep him.
The one other thing that I thought about this chapter was when Annabelle made Bitsy cry. It seemed like she was able to get through to her somewhat. With the lack of research done around type-0's I wonder if it's possible to revert the imprinting process... 🤔
Author's Response:
Lol I actually thought of you when writing the "meet me by the bear" scene. I really like it when I see reviews that ask for things that I've already written, but haven't published, because it means that the story is progressing in a way that makes sense (lol I don't know how true this comment will be after chap. 26).
I think everyone who is in the giantesses' lives is in danger. The Shrinkee imprinting process is currently so mysterious to Annabelle, so we'll just have to wait and see what's really up with it.
Again, thanks for commenting Huggler, your reviews are always so insightful.

Let’s see hmm Leah mostly likely political science and business. Naomi I would think business and maybe fashion, Molly literature and business Harper... maybe how to American blond 101. I have no idea on Harper. She seems find to be a trust fund kid.Anna I have no idea.
I can’t wait until u bring Zoey back because I am really curious to see how a) u do bring her back and b) I really want to see the 4 and Zoey really go at it. In all there glory.
Author's Response:
Like Mr. In a Suit, you definitely got some right. I love that neither of you can guess Harper's major (I laughed too hard at How to American blond 101). I actually think I hint at one of their majors in the most recent chapter.
Zoey coming back is one of my favorite chapters, Ralgar. I think you'll be surprised how it happens.
[Report This]Date: December 16 2021 12:36 AM Title: Chapter 24
I know the question wasn’t made to me, but I will give it a shot because it’s interesting and fun LOL - Leah: political sciences and economics; Molly: law and business; Naomi: fashion design and arts history; Harper: ...?
Also, some questioned why the families didn’t simply took Bitsy and Steven. This is just my especulation, but they might have had plans, but choosen to abort because Annabelle entered the scene.
Author's Response:
Ha! You actually got some right. Impressive.
Again, I'll discuss the whole existing-Type 0 in further chapters. I don't think this specific question is answered in 26, but it should be in the upcoming chapters.
[Report This]Date: December 16 2021 12:03 AM Title: Chapter 24
This story begun with "Annabelle would you like to share something?", and now, 24 chapters later, Anna is cornered, she has to open up. The question is to who and what will be the consequences. Trust and love (for others and for one self and the power that comes form it) were and are central to the story - the dialogue betwen Steven and Anna summing up those plot point.
If I had to say, Naomi and Harper are the most likely to whom Anna might open up... but Leah is very skilled in reading and manipulating people. Molly is someose who is eaasy to feel empathy, so it’s difficult to place a beet here.
I am more interested in the consequences. Our heroine believes she can stop her type 0 gene from making HERSELF imprint. That doesn’t mean others won’t imprint on her and doesn’t mean jackshit for the ones who have already imprinted – I think it’s pretty much semmented that Naomi, Harper, Molly and Leah are imprinted and there is no coming back from that. Once your brain changes, it doesn’t come back to what it was. And yes, I am thinking about Nell and her imprinting process – which I believe is already in course.
Anna has to find someone to trust, to open up but also that makes her feel worth, and by interactions alone Nell is the obivious choice. Ok... but her gene and imprinting doesn’t seem to be exactly the same as Bitsy and Steven. That means Anna is making conclusions under the assumption her process is the same as Steven, except it’s not.
So anything can happen if she actually chooses someone, including her pheromone getting stronger and with more side effects. Someone said the voice Anna hears might be the voice of her race... if that is it, it’s clear it wants to accomplish something, something BIG.
Annabelle could be very wrong about how to solve this situation, because Poppy already said she wants Anna to choose someone to become her goddess, her ultimate protector who will shower her (and Poppy) with “unadulterated love”. So, to open up to someone bigger is what Poppy needs her to do.
But, what if Anna can’t choose one among all? Poppy might interpret this as a sign that all 4 or all 5 (Nell includes) are to become her true protectors.
But what does that even mean? We know about the imprinting, but none of the girls stand a fighting chance against the heads of the 4 families, not even ruthless Leah or crazy Zoey... at least, not in their current size... not while Anna and Poppy don’t reach a clear decision.
For now, the titans are only in Anna’s nightmares... and without a clear face, just lurking in wait... For now, because imagine how bad the Governor and others will want to control her imprinting powers? Anna and no one she knows will be safe. Leah and cia. will be puto n the sidelines by their parentes – this new type 0 isn’t a toy after all.
Really, only a true giantess... or five giantesses to protect her then.
That’s it for theories. Now I have a sugestion: unaware scenarios, for example: a sibling fight between Nell and Naomi where Anna will be on the ground, maybe on the beach and having to evade their feet while trying to get their attention... this way you can enphasize size diferences, Anna’s feelings of powerlessness (like you did with Zoey in ch. 17).
Well, we are reaching the end of the year, a especially difficult one, so I'd like to thank you for all the hard work you've done and are doing in writing such long and rich chapters.
May 2022 come, with new chapters and, hopefully, the conclusion of the misadventures of Goddess Annabelle!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for us all!
Author's Response:
Ah, Mr. In a Suit,
Once again, your analysis and theories make me smile. You should really think about writing your own short story. Case in point: I had that specific scene already in my head--although it was with a different set of giantesses. That scene is still not set in stone, so I'll think about maybe changing some things.
Thanks again for your comment, Mr. In a Suit. I hope you had a great New Year!

I do have a question and it maybe imaterial, but what was Annabelles major, and just what was she planning on studying besides Shakespear?
Also what are the 4 studying to? I’ve been think and I don’t recall it ever being mentioned, not that I think thee girls really care (except maybe Leah and Molly).
Author's Response:
Okay so I normally respond to comments right as I upload the newest chapter, but I had to reply to this, Ralgar. Sometimes your comments scare me because I've been working on the next chapter now, and I just--as in an hour ago--wrote a section where I mention one of the giantesses' majors. So far I haven't mentioned the others in this chapter, but I might add it since you seem interested.
I just had to tell you because sometimes I think you guys are hacking into my writing document. Lol and you're right about which giantesses actually care about their studies (I don't think I've ever had a chapter showing Harper or Naomi actually study haha),
Curious, though what do you think they study? (Hint: most of them are double majors).
