Glad you’re still enjoying it! I totally get where you’re coming from in your first two points because they’re things that I’ve spent some time thinking about myself. About your first point, take a look at the reply I gave TomSpeedy just before your review. It sort of outlines my thought process. Really how I’m picturing it is that yes, the boys have been traumatized by their near death experiences, partly because they know it was entirely self inflicting and their trust in women has declined pretty steeply. So although Ms. Johnson knows that she needs to reinforce the idea that what they did was very wrong, she also needs to be the teacher who brings them out of their dark places and renews their young, free spirits. What better way than literally giving them free rein over her beautiful body that no man could ever resist. I’m pretty confident that would be a pretty good first step and give them all a little extra pep. So then how do you follow that up and both punish them for what they did and build up their trust at the same time. I’m hoping I’ve got a solution for that in detention :)

As for Trevor, he’s probably the most interesting character of all that will be coming out of the changeroom. I picture him as having a completely new outlook on life. Something he now treasures more than he ever did. And perhaps once he gets past the initial trauma of interacting with girls again, he’ll be all in on life. My inspiration for him is sort of taken from those crazy mountain climbers who thrive in the face of danger. Mountain almost killed me one? Let’s conquer it and then move onto something even crazier. So I’m not quite ready to let him fizzle away yet :) After all, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger… sorry, that’s pretty cheesy haha. But the boys are also young and with that comes the ability to still shape yourself for the future. Teens are hard to keep down lol.

I completely get what you’re saying about the celebs and absolutely agree. I definitely wouldn’t make them main characters, or even supporting characters for that matter. It would be a very brief appearance just to reinforce the fact that, “oh man, this club really does serve the biggest and the best.” So we’ll see if it fits once I get that far. Weird is a good word. 

So I’m going to try and answer this from memory (without going back through my notes) but from what I remember the timeline is something like this… 10 years ago the world encountered a vicious virus that wrecked the world. It damaged more than just economies, ie. killed many people. So the world spent a fews years working on a cure to this virus that was on route to cripping us. Naturally one was found… but it led to the discovery of the tech that Ms. Johnson uses every class. Flash forward to 5 years ago and we pick up Chapter 1 with Ms. Johnson and her research team experimenting with the research tech. Although maybe not stated, but Ms. Johnson is one of the leading ladies on developing the tech. Accident happen, Todd dies by the hands of Ms. Johnson, and she’s left hurting because of it. 5 more years go by and we pick up in present day with Ms. Johnson and the boys starting the first semester of high school (the boys first, not Ms. Johnson’s first year of teaching). All we know from about the 5 years that passed between the start of Chapter 1 and the end scene is that Ms. Johnson settled down and is no longer working with her research team. I have my ideas for what happened in between but those are stories for another time :) Perhaps you can even start to see some parallels beginning to appear in places. 

What the story doesn’t specify is what year it’s set in. I have my own thoughts about that and it’s basically that we’re not that far from where we are today. The tech has certainly improved, but we’re not zipping around in flying cars yet. So my idea was to tighten up those 10 years and maybe say we’re only 5 years away from where we are right now (2022). That way the world and the people in the world are very similar to what we know. That’s the part I’m undecided on though… Do I want to tighten it up and specify the year or just leave it open ended. I like both for different reasons. Right now it’s still unspecified but can be estimated.

Thanks for your continued interest! It’s always fun to dive a little deeper and be able to explain my thoughts.

Y’all of little faith lol. I know that I’ve been far too slow at pushing out each chapter but my thinking about it never really stops. I’m always poking at it here and there. It’s the long writing sessions that I need to do more of, otherwise it just doesn’t go anywhere meaningful (at least for you). If anyone is concerned that the story is lost and forgotten, just email me or message me on Discord. I keep tabs on both :)

Ms. Johnson certainly won’t let the boys’ and girls’ actions go unnoticed. But my thinking is this… if you did something really embarrassing and you knew that someone(s) knew about it, you’d be worried they’d spill that and let the whole world know about it (keep in mind that their classmates don’t know what they did). Something like this could be detrimental to the boys’ future if it ever got out. So Ms. Johnson, being the cool friend type of teacher, realizes this (and has maybe been through it before with other students in the past) and keeps it hush hush when others are around. But with the next chapter being titled “Detention”, it presents an interesting opportunity for Ms. Johnson to meet with the boys in private. The big question is obviously what kind of punishment is Ms. Johnson going to lay down? Is she going to treat the boys like criminals of war and sentence them to being disposables for as long as they live? Or will she let them off with a warning like a cool police officer? I’ve spent a bit of time thinking about a plausible answer and my thinking that maybe it’s a little of both, and a little of neither. The boys have clearly been traumatized by what they experienced. Their trust in women has probably fallen off a cliff. This is evident in Brayden’s eyes and Calvin’s quietness. With Ms. Johnson being a pretty smart gal, would she want to push the boys even closer to their breaking points? I’d like to think that she would recognize their subtle hints and try to help them at the same time as teach them. Hence this lesson and what happens in detention. What boy/man would be able to resist playing with a beautiful, nude teacher and being told to do whatever they want to her? None lol. So step one in Ms. Johnson’s plan is to get the boys back on the horse… or rather back onto/into her. I think we’ve all had at least one moment in our lives where we’ve been incredibly upset, but as soon as we start doing something enjoyable, we forget all about it. That’s really the feeling I’m going for with this lesson. Detention is a kinda sorta continuation with that, but hopefully also adding on a few “reality check” items as well. The other interesting side of the matter is what are the girls going to do… Some still won’t know about the boys’ identities, but some will. Ms. Johnson can be quite persuasive when it comes to convincing people to keep things to themselves.

I’m glad that you appreciated Liam being locked up on Ms. Johnson’s necklace. My thought was the exact same as yours. What is the cruelest thing Ms. Johnson could do as a form of punishment without just kicking him out of the classroom or hurting him? Force him to watch lol.

I’m definitely in the same celeb boat as you. I keep going back and forth on the idea but I think there are going to be a few more reasons why not to do it than to do it. Cause on one hand it’s cool to introduce the concept that you could potentially be the tiny man of anyone on Earth (in our time). But then there are the points of, what if you don’t like the celeb that’s introduced and, like you said, we already have our own mental pictures of them that can’t be rewritten by a fictional story. Plus it kind of takes away some of the authenticity of the story. Still debating about it, but I’m leaning towards the “pack it away for later” option. We shall see.

Thanks! Glad to hear that you’re still enjoying it! Nose for sure. It won’t necessarily be the focal point of the chapter but it will certainly be a fun experience. Ears are a little bit tricky since my tinies aren’t as small compared to other stories, but I’ve been toying around with a few different ideas. I feel like I have one that will likely make it into the story though. Again, probably won’t be the focal point of the chapter but I think it will actually be an important one in building the world. Thanks for continuing to follow along!

I’m totally the same way. I love the idea of knowing someone isn't unkillable and being in suspense whenever I feel like they might finally kick the can. I’m not usually a fan of the stories that tease death and then never actually follow through with it on any of their characters. So for me, I don’t feel like this story could be completely satisfying without someone(s) meeting their end. I’m definitely picturing some pretty cruel stuff coming up soon. Maybe not so much directly to the boys, but definitely in front of them at the least. They’ll probably find a way to get mixed up in part of it though :) I picture so many of the scenes of this story as the tiny boys always being inches away from death. What if Ms. Johnson missed her step by a little, or if she got a little too excited and squished someone by reflex. All these hugely massive girls constantly threatening the tiny people even if they have no intent to harm. That’s just the beauty of the size difference. It’s a natural breeding ground for suspense since death can happen so quickly and easily lol. Thanks for the comment and for following along!

Glad you’re as excited as I am! Teacher vore is a tricky one because having Ms. Johnson swallow a student would be crazy exciting... but is it too crazy? Decisions decisions. I would expect to see Ms. Johnson swallow at least someone by the end of the story though. Will it be a student? We’ll have to wait and see :) Even I don’t know for certain yet lol. I think that’s part of what makes the story suspenseful though. There’s a fair bit of uncertainty still left to figure out. Thanks for the support!

Your reviews always keep me on my toes lol. So there are a few things going on with Calvin/Trevor/Alexis/Gatlin that I think I’ve written correctly based on the ending of Chapter 10 (but I’m far from perfect so you never know if I missed something). So the sequence that I have pictured is this… Allison takes Calvin and Gatlin, messes up Gatlin, then Alexis saves Gatlin and Noah, but Gatlin doesn’t tell her about Allison having Calvin until they’re in her bedroom in Chapter 12 (cue the drama). Alexis also doesn’t learn about the boys’ adventures until the bedroom because she was so busy chasing down everyone else. At the end of Chapter 10 Noah made the comment like, “go and save Trevor, we’ll fill you in on the rest later.” So we’ve now entered the “later” stage.

I think you’re definitely right about the meeting Allison stuff but I think I can wiggle my way out lol. This definitely could’ve been much clearer, but I think what I was picturing when Alexis asked if they “knew her” is if they knew her beyond just seeing her in the distance (like at the volleyball game). So “met her” is sort of Alexis’ way of poking the boys to see if Allison could’ve taken Calvin and got more intimate with them (since she didn’t know until now but potentially suspected). But yeah, kinda glossed over the details a bit there. Point of that part is Gatlin is having to remember who took Calvin and then Alexis fills in the details on who she is. If I go back and edit that part, I’d probably approach it like Gatlin knows who the girl is but is struggling to put a name to her, even though he knows he should know.

Alexis is an interesting character. I feel like she’s a “I need to be perfect” kind of person but then succumbs to her desires in surprising ways. We’ll sort of see why but I do plan on expanding on the question of “why wouldn’t Alexis use her tiny man for that?” Her character is almost meant to be that one who knows that abusing tiny people is wrong, but finds it too fun to avoid it altogether. There’s a real grey area in there of how much is too much. I think Alexis is also a lot more conservative than we realize. Noah, Gatlin, Ms. Johnson, and Alexis are definitely going to be the main focus now that we’ve got a solid team of supporting characters. The others will always be around though.

Let’s just say Part 3 is meant to be the climax of the chapter lol. Then we return to class and Ms. Johnson :) The events from and post changeroom will sort of always hover around in the story but we’ve pretty much finished with this sequence. Planning for Part 3 next Saturday which wraps up “Week 6” and then we’ll be into “Week 7” the weekend after. There’s about 21 weeks in a school year (including Christmas break).

Appreciate your review as always. Glad to see that the smaller chapters are working. 3000 words is a pretty good number to aim for when it comes time to break up what I’ve written. We’ll keep going with them for the time being.

Continue we shall! Really hoping to get a 1500 to 3000 word chapter/part out every weekend this winter. I think consistency would be good for everybody. Thanks for sticking with it!

Lol yeah I sort of went on a break to collect my thoughts. Think it was about 5 or 6 weeks in between chapters. No worries about not writing a comment for every chapter. I know how busy life can get and just making time to read a chapter can be a struggle. But I’m always excited to see your reviews when they do come though :) Feedback and brainstorming new ideas is by far my favourite part of this whole process. Even though it’s got my username at the top of the story, it really becomes all of our story because your comments definitely do influence my ideas for the better.

I think I know who you’re talking about and all I’ll say is it would be a shame if we couldn’t see an in-person meeting between two of the characters who shared a pretty wild experience. To me, that would be a golden opportunity for a heart pounding, awkward moment wasted :) At some point an author can only do so many fake-outs before they need to come through and just let it happen though… Hint hint (but I won’t say when, who or how that’ll happen). It doesn’t hurt to load up a few times before the final blow though. My strategy has been to build the “stars” of the story and then accompany them with a multitude of “supporting” characters. That way you can sort of bond to each character, but because there are quite a few, it wouldn’t be particularly shocking if one of them were to be killed or sent off. Suspense has definitely been what I’ve been going for. I want all the characters to feel unkillable, while still being able to kill any of them at any time (because I think that would be a common feeling for anyone who was shrunken down to an inch or two tall). I’m glad to hear that you’ve felt this too. We shall see what happens to everyone :)

Lol I would be willing to agree that Mrs. Hulme can be considered an evil character. You definitely don’t want to end up on her bad side, that’s for sure. But your comment that the rest of the characters are neither good nor evil is actually pretty accurate. Everyone sort of has a background. There are definitely characters who are much gentler than others though.

I actually didn’t watch any indoors volleyball this time, but I kept pretty close tabs on beach volleyball. I thought Canada was going to have a chance at a medal this time with two teams in the quarterfinals… and then they both lost on the same day lol. We may be seeing a beach volleyball chapter in the future though. I had a few interesting ideas come up while I was watching the games.

Lol yeah I’m in the Eastern Timezone. I don’t live in Toronto, but I’m in the same timezone as Toronto. I can see how that’d be useful to know though, cause that way you can sort of predict when I might be responding or uploading relative to whichever timezone you’re in.
