Ok well first off congratz when u said this was a game changer, it really was, it takes it being a small number of bad things to a world wide disaster, and honestly every one of them deserves to burn, I mean the families and the daughters, the PRincess ( i do love them as villain's, but damn i dont thing there is any redemption for them any more, i was foolishly hoping there would be, but yea that isnt a thing i think anymore for me.)
U took this story in a very interesting direction that u did very litely hint at with the mother being so difficult to find info on.
OK so shrunken are having children ( that is in my opionion highly stupid and irrisponsble of the shrunken, u do not want to perpeatuate this damn disease ( which i now am beginngin to think was manufactured just like in a another story)).
Ok so i am going to try not to ramble with this but i probably will.
This story has just grown well past any boundaries i thought u might have had. So I was thinking there would be the bad end where she imprints on the girls. the not as bad end where she at least maintains her humanity. The end where she gets back to her Big family. THe end where she actually ends up with some one who can properly love her and take care of her. That is now in doubt.
As i said earlier I was hoping that the 4 would in time be revealed to not be complete monsters and that there was hope for them, I see that now from this chapter and the previous 5 chapters that this is not a thing beyond the fact that for the first time in there lives they have someone they are actually caring about. Like u said it is so toxic. Now don't get me wrong i love the 4 as villain's ( and I love a good redemption story) but yea they need to die.
So now the resistance, they are interesting and i look forward to seeing more about them. I will admit that it took me alot longer to figure out what was happening than it should have, I honestly thought it was either annabell hallucenating or losing her damn mind from the massacre. Then things happened and i was blown away. I disagree with the guy about not killing every one, they had them uncouncious they shoudl have killed them. It really doesn't take much to kill us bigs and they could have doced their weapons with poison to kill every one their. ( but this isn't a complaint against u)
OK Annabell number one priority now is to get the imprinting stopped and kill poppy, because she is now a threat to the resistance and maybe a threat to normal shrunken beyond her precious Goddesses. I dont know how to interpret agent x saying she killed all the shrunken at the former massacre (plz dont let that be true). Poppy is to damn dangerous, but at that same time info can be kept from her, hmmmm she doesnt neccesarily know all that annebell knows ( zoey), so maybe annabell could learn to keep info from her. BUt yea Anna needs to really get this therapy going. Also I now retact my preivous statement that she needs to stay with the 4. She needs to get away from them and stay gone, but i get why she stayed.
Now i have a statement here and i hope no one takes offense to this ( i understand if u do) I view something like the HDD (the disease, not the people) as an existential threat to humaninty , and so while i would not take the extreme measures exterminating all who have it, i would ban all from having kids, and there would be massive penalties for those that did. Including death. I would take no pleasure in it like these monsters, but this disease would need to be wiped out. I would also push for massive funding in elimanting the disease viah cure. I also dont believe for one second any of them actually believe that clap trap about saving the world except maybe Leah ( Naomi flat out told her she didnt.)
So about her mother i thought she was going to be estranged from a family that was actively fighting the big bads and she just wanted peace, but now i dont know. I do think beth is the commander ( i really hope so or that she is alive at least).
Honestly i thought this chapter was going to deal with Oliver and the friends, not what this turned out to be. I loved this chapter, for the first time i actually believe Annabelle actually has a chance to escape and find a refuge, and maybe have a good life ( if scarred).
I have no idea what to think of this whole blessed blood thing, personally aside from the imprinting thing it sounds like a good deal, really tired of the trope where just because u can heal your a freak. U have hinted that those who come in contact with type 0s imprint on said type 0, and at first that's what I thought had happened with byte, (once I realized that there was something going on).
SO this turned into a big review, in addition to my other reviews, hope u don't that i have reviewed alot lately and will probably continue to do so i keep having thoughts. Like I said this is the best story on this site and honestly i think u could get this published, ( u would need to do some editing and stuff but its that good).
SO this was a pretty small scope story that just got blown with open and I am very here for it. I cant wait to find out where this goes.

Author's Response:
I'm really glad you are liking the expansion of the story. That's what I was most worried about. I know a lot of people like the FF and want more of a focus on them (and they will remain an essential part of the story) but in order to go where the story needs to go, I had to open up the world. I did hint at how different this world is in the "Beginning" but I haven't really touched on it in a while.
Ralgar, I really like your comments! They help me write this story! It's always great to refresh and see that someone else has reviewed--it reminds me that people are still reading this insanely long thing.
I can't say too much about everything you've written (spoilers) but I can say that Oliver and Company (ha) will be returning.

Ok well that was a lot and I didn’t see tha coming at all, this is big and the commander is either sister or mother, hmmm. Ok so what the hell did poppy do, earlier, she is blood blessed and apparently that’s not a good thing with already shrunken.
It seems nobody r is aware of this resistance. This was a very interesting chapter and I have to admit that I really like it, this changes a lot of things. I will be rereading and stuff wow. I’m kinda blown away really.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much Ralgar. You'll just have to keep reading if you want to know what's what.😉

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.
[Report This]Date: January 21 2022 5:42 AM Title: Chapter 25
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.
[Report This]Date: January 19 2022 2:34 AM Title: Chapter 25
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.

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.
