Always nice to see more of your stories, this one was especially nice. I like role reversal scenes where the protagonist ends up even smaller than tiny beings like fairies.
Author's Response:
Thanks! I like size role reversals a lot, so fairies are an obvious favorite.

This was very entertaining. The premise and overall plot were already interesting, but were heightened further by great comedic timing. I laughed a lot. The fairies were especially hilarious with how emotive (and absurdly horny) they were. The narrative is also satisfying in its own right while still being filled with plenty of good smut.
Author's Response:
Thanks! I really enjoy this monstergirl one shots, they're easy to keep at an upbeat pace. I really enjoyed writing the fairies in this one, I just felt like instead of trying for wise and otherworldly I'd just make them as vulgar as possible lol.

Usually goblins have no females at all and orcs have 1% females or none at all. Male fairies are indeed not mentioned to often so it's fine to presume they're rare. Harpies usually don't use sex to recreate. They just make eggs out of mana or something.
Anyway, about the story. Dark elfs may want to hone their acting skills at least a little and that elf not running away after seeing her acting skills and human dispelling her magic truly lacks self preservation instinct.
Author's Response:
Well this story isn't operating on strictly DnD rules lol. Anyways Talena is a bit of an eccentric and I'm sure the elves who come after her are well versed in what a weirdo she is, so they don't overthink her acting strangely.

Glad to see Dark elves make an appearance in the setting.
"out in the garden it’s like one male fairy for every six of us girls!"
Are skewed gender ratios something all non-human races have? So far in the series we've only seen women.
I like the story overall, I just wished that Talena played with Jack when he was small.
Author's Response:
Yeah Dark Elves are on better terms with humans.
We mostly see women because I'm into women lol, call it lazy writing but there it is. A lot of races have skewed gender ratios or no men at all obviously, but I figure that more populous and established races like Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins don't have a skewed gender ratio. Then you've got some like Amazons that are female only, and require human men to reproduce, something that's shaped much of their society. Harpies similarly are female only, and kidnap or "borrow" men from other races, most beastfolk also probably have normal gender ratios, Arachne explicitly do have males but we haven't seen any because of author appeal lol.

After "The Elf is Innocent", I was actually looking forward to having Tyrell, the archmage in that tale, be featured at some point. I consider this to be a suitable replacement.
Holy smut though. Don't get me wrong, I like action-scenes, if you know what I mean ... but this may have been a tad too much. Jack going Ghengis Khan on the dark elf/fairy populations (ok, 3 mates isn't exactly Khan-level, but he certainly got cassonova'd big time). I was sort of hoping his relationship with Telena would have been developed just a tad bit more.
I do like that we got a good impression of what kind of teacher she is. She prefers to use challenge and demonstration to get Jack to fulfill his potential, rather than gentle lecturing or nudging. It's a fun method, that storywise, allows for a lot of plot to advance. I particularly enjoyed their interactions with Jack ant-sized. I will certainly be rereading those passages where he's fighting her finger over again, then again, I do enjoy extreme size-difference plenty.
Admittedly, I was sort of anticipating the elf assassin kidnapping Jack, and Talena and the faries going on a little adventure to stop her, and then Jack, in the moment of despair, learns to regrow, and blah blah blah they win ... but I know you have bigger NEETs to fry nowadays. Still, the master/apprentice dynamic, is certainly a bit special.
P.S: Has Talena performed additional Sheevposting, or was that time with the assassin, a one-off thing?
Author's Response:
I have plans for an Elven Realm set story which will feature Tyrael sometime after I finish NEET of the Living Dead. Anyways this is definitely one of those one shots that has the potential to grow into a full story, with Talena and her fairies going after Jack like you said, but I intended it as a one-off so Jack "gets" the lesson a little quicker than he might if this were a 60,000 word adventure.
Talena's teaching method is certainly "special" as you said. I'm sure Jack will end up being small again at some point, Talena certainly has plenty more lessons to teach. I don't think she'd ever let her apprentice actually get hurt, but at the same time she's willing to put herself in danger as "motivation" if she thinks it'll get him to make the final leap in his lesson.
As for her Sheevposting I like to think the previous assassination attempt involved four elves approaching her at once telling her she was under arrest, followed by a 960 degree aerial flip and a screech.

Where's the vore scene :(
Author's Response:
Just a mouth play for this one I'm afraid, though I'm sure Talena will talk her apprentice into taking that particular trip at some point. "For his education" of course.
