Hey! Did you plan to continue this soon? It's one of the best stories on here, and I can't wait to see what happens with the Beaumont family!
Author's Response:
Yep, I'm still working on it! I've just been super busy with work this summer. I start to slow down in fall and so am looking to start updating again on a regular basis pretty soon. Thanks! Sorry for the delay!

Welcome back! Can you remind me if your original outline had anyone else shrinking and if it had either Natalie or Aubreigh going to the tiny people's city and acting like real giantesses as they look for their shrunken family members? Would be so exciting!
Author's Response:
That is still coming up!

Hey! Do you plan to continue this story? It's truly one of the best on the site...really hoping you will continue!

Oh yeah! I've still got lots of ideas to write! Just rethinking things, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go back to my original outline.

I liked it. I get why others don't but I liked it! I thought Natalie was realistic in this chapter. And I really hope you go with the Aubreigh's redemption storyline. Great work!
Author's Response:
Thanks man. I don't know, might have to revist the outline again!

Great story, very well written. I can understand Mrs. Beaumont's feeling being all over the place, trying to reconcile her love for her husband and her hatred of tinies. But, she's a cold blooded killer and I hope she suffers for it. I really hope Aubreigh can grow up and start treating the tines with respect again. Time will tell, and I'm looking forward to reading more of your story. Thanks so much for your hard work on this!

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Good ending to this chapter, killing off characters sucks, but I'm excited to see what you do with this, especially Aubreigh's reaction.
Author's Response:
Thanks Panzer, much appreciated. Killing characters is my least favorite part, but it's bound to happen eventually.

This seems to have been quite the controversial chapter, and I can understand why. With that being said, I figured I might as well add my unwanted two cents, since my opinion slightly differs. I see that you're thinking about taking a break from this story, and I think that's probably a wise move. I know how stories can invade your mind, constantly jumping back and forth between different directions you can go, and how exhausting that is. Stepping back from that mindset always helps, I just hope that you're not feeling discouraged. The reviews all definitely come from a place of love for your story and characters.
Anyway, on to this chapter. I think the criticisms about Natalie are valid, she did make some odd moves. I also understand, though, that she's obviously dealing with a lot of difficult life events at the moment, which is bound to mess with anyone's head. People certainly want her to dominate Andrew, myself included, but it's important to remember that this is her husband, and it'll take some time for her to reconcile the fact that the man she loves is now a tiny. I think some weird decisions can be forgiven.
My main thoughts, though, are about Aubreigh. I see that you were thinking about a redemption arc, but intense pushback has led you to reconsider. I personally would have really enjoyed it, but I 2000% think that her doubts this chapter were needed and logical, at least. Her transition to cruel and dominating was actually one of the few issues I've had with this story, as it felt quite sudden to me. I mean, up until a few days ago she was considering dedicating her career to fighting for the rights of tinies, and now she's casually abusing them and telling one of her best friends that she would be better off dead. Of course that would mess her up, and her reaction in the shower was a totally logical development. Again, I just think this is a case where people's desire for a certain type of erotic content is slightly outweighing their desire for realistic actions. This doesn't even mean that you have to go full redemption, but there's truly nothing wrong with that if you feel like it's the right direction to go.
To that end, I would just like to offer one piece of encouragement - please don't be afraid of going down your own path. There's obviously nothing wrong with listening to your readers, and it's pretty important to know your audience, but it's your story at the end of the day. If you think this story has more to offer than pure domination and cruelty, then I would encourage you to go for it. Either way, this story is going to be wonderful.
I hope your break is enjoyable, you've certainly earned it! I'll be looking forward to the next chapter, and take care.

Author's Response:
I actually quite agree with you. It makes me happy that I've created a world and characters that people reacted so strongly about. But you're right, quite controversial... oh man...
I get that people want to see Natalie dominate her husband... ESPECIALLY ME! that was one of the things I was looking forward to the most in writing this story. I just wanted her to be a lot more manipulative with him rather than just simply physcially dominating him. I wanted her dominance over him to be a physcological roller coaster for him... but I see now that people really want to see her dominate without all the malarkey... guess I got to make some adjustments with Natalie and Andrew going forward.
And with Aubreigh, my gosh, this is the third or fourth revision of her in my outline. Origianlly she was good... then she turned bad (my personal favorite), then she had a redemption arc, then she had a redemption arc and shrank. Ooofda... I think that's why she might seem so flippy floppy in the story.
I think this story is, like you say, just pure domination and cruelty. When I try to make it more than that is when I lose people. Which is totally fine with me... I love those two things, but I did want some realism. But really at the end of the day, it's a fetish story, so I don't know why I would care about realism all that much anyways. So I'll probably just lean into the domineering and evil aspects of the gigantic world moving forward. I don't want to alienate people, and so I really thought a redemption arc would be interesting... but I guess my audience is not really a "redemption" type of crowd! Good to know now!
Either way, thank you for your kind words about the story and about taking a break. I have some time off from work and have been thinking about the story a lot. However, I don't know when I'll get around to figuring out how to dig myself out of this hole... but I really appreciate your feedback. Thanks again!

Ok, so first off I want to say I love this chapter content wise.
The sex scene and foot content was well done as always and sexy.
But in terms of character content, I have to echo squashed123's review and criticism here.
Natalie seemed so out of character in a lot of this, and going against the pre-established character and her personality you have gone about constructing and making us fall in love with for 17 chapters.
She's been murdering Tinies for fun, because they annoy her, or for a laugh, she was always in control of herself and her emotions. And now she's crying and being all emotional over things and uncertain.
Honestly, not the way I had this chapter going (and her meeting andrew) imagined at all, again due to Natalie's pre-established character.
This didn't seem like the same woman from the previous 16 chapter.
Aubreigh too, her backflipping over how to treat tinies (and I know, she's only now starting to losen up about her "tiny rights" views). It seems like she's taken 10 steps forward, and in this chapter just took 20 steps back.
Now I still love this story, and I love the content, I'm not trying to sound like a bitch, and I hope you don't take my words too harshly, I am only tryng to offer some constructive feedback here.
I am still very excited to see where things go, but just needed to say it, that this chapter was a bit of a hit or miss in some places.
Hoping the next chapter maybe leans more into your established character peronalities.
I was hoping Natalie would dominate and lay down the lay to Andrew (and she did, but then went and was all soft and having sex with him? Which while hot, seemed to be a 180 personality wise)
I think Natalie should take back the company and shut down the deal (making Andrew see how little/zero control he has now) and get her money back (cause fuck Andrew XD I just don't think Natalie should be trying to pacify and butter him up, he should be beaten down into submission)
Aubreigh needs to get her head on straight, and let go of her previous Tiny loving feelings.
(again, I think squished123 did a nice summary of some issues this chapter had. But I felt I needed to add some of my own thoughts on things)
As always, am excited to see more.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. I was aiming to do a bit of a redemption arc with Aubreigh, but people really seem to not like that. Hmm weird, I thought it would be fun. I also thought it would be interesting that Natalie "tries" to treat Andrew better... but constantly fails. I thought that would be ironic and fun to write. My writing skills probably aren't suited for that type of story. Probably going to take a step back and rethink things again. I need a break from this family!

I just wanted to mention that I loved the cliffhanger and the tension present on the last scene, as well as the possible emotional implications for Aubreigh - the chapter was written to seem like she feels bad for the way she treated them and wad ready to apologize herself, only to find out that her mother has denied her that right for one or two of them. Excited for the next chapter and I'm all for pushing the stakes here.
Author's Response:
Thanks man, glad you liked it. You're bang on for the emotional repercussions for Aubreigh.
[Report This]Date: June 18 2021 4:25 PM Title: Family Drama
Oof. Where to begin. The story isn't bad, but so many of the tinies capitulate way too easily. A little suffering and they cave to Natalie or anyone else. Nobody seems to have a backbone, which is a little diappointing. Andrew went from the verge of tears over being gripped hard and his wife saying he had no voice, to effectively being her subservient pet after a bit of sex. Aubreigh's supposed guilt and remorse so far only seems to extend as far as her own wants. If she truly cared even a tiniest bit, after everything she's seen her mom do, she would switftly agree her tiny siblings and any other captives would be FAR safer and happier in a tiny community. I'm not saying the plot should end with everyone escaping safely, just that the flip flop morality that people keep showing has gotten old and tiresome. I'm interested in seeing where things go, but that ending tagline of "Looks like Natalie has some explaining to do!" leaves me with no doubt that Natalie will blather her way around it and Aubriegh will at best be frustrated but do nothing substantial about it.
Author's Response:
Sorry man, I write what I like! And I like spineless tinies and giantesses who wrestle with morality.

So excited to finally see a tiny Andrew interact with Nat! Will any other family members shrink? Also glad you introduced the tiny city...perfectly sets up either Nat and/or Aubreigh stomping through the tiny city playing cat and mouse with their shrunken family feeling like real giantesses! I can only imagine what that would do for their egos...Also loved Aubreigh playfully teasing her siblings and friends in the tank with her feet...I love that type of playful interaction! Finally can't wait to see who got stepped on. Great work!

I really hope Natalie manages to come out on top. Maybe even gain the favor of the twins back so she can play with them whenever she wants without them feeling unsafe or unloved anymore. You made her too charming, so now I really root for her all the time XD. Fuck Andrew though
Author's Response:
Thanks! I'm glad you like her!

Ok (takes a deep breath and exhales) a lot to unpack here.
Andrew selling a portion of the company to a competitor, really should have let Natalie know with such an important decision.
And his actions and decisions hurting Natalie like that, I hope this fuels her putting him underfoot and subjegating him like the others.
Brian XD He surely had a long day under her foot, loved Natalie once again intimidating him.
I loved Aubreigh putting her feet in the tank and her teasing them, she's slowly coming over to being more controlling and less caring about the Tinies, and I am loving her transformation.
I'm hoping she doesn't keep up her internal battle with herself (in the shower) and fully goes to the Dark Side XD
Andrew and Natalie's sex scene was so hot, and very well written. I have a feeling Natalie was just buttering him up before more domination comes later.
I loved Natalaie's outburst after accidentally stepping on one of them. Her anger and letting her frustration out about having "always watch her step" in her own home is understandable, and they shouldn't have been trying to escape anyway.
I wonder who she killed XD
And I hope, so so so so so much that Aubreigh doesn't turn against Natalie (we need this mother daughter pair rulling/dominating/killing tinies)
Please don't let this be some "aubreigh goes back to supporting tinies" moment XD
Please let Natalie sway Aubreigh to her side (I mean the tinies did try and escape)
Natalie can win Aubreigh over (I hope) and I hope the whole living situation finally starts making Aubreigh go darker/more Natalie-esque.
(Thomas breaking down was so fun to read, he fucked up and shouldn't have disobeyed her)
It's only a matter of time till either Natalie or Aubreigh kills one of the twins (either on purpose, finally being pushed too far, or accidentally)
Or maybe Natalie could "arange" one of the kids deaths, so while she can clear her concious of not being the one to do it, she still has them out of the way.
Though I'd say Andrew being killed might be better (Natalie assuming full control of the company, and maybe rejecting the deal/renegging on it, so the tiny city development is stalled/falls through)
XD Now I'm rambling again, but I just loved this full chapter so much.
But am hoping and wishing that Aubreigh and Natalie get through this with a stronger mother/daughter bond (and of course, putting Tinies in their proper place, beneath them)
Can't wait to read the next chapter!! I'm on the edge of my seat.
Author's Response:
Hey, thanks for reading man. Yeah, I was angling for a redemptive story arc for Aubreigh but probably won't go that route. I've had quite a few people email me begging me not to do that. Gotta rethink things again I guess!
