Jeez... story is brutal. I like it though. It's a more realistic take on what would actually happen in this situation. Like kind of exploring what the character and mental state of people would have to be for a) the perpetrator (julia) and b) the victims.
Someone mentioned comic relief and another questioned Jack's sexuality... I'd say after the chapter with Beth getting viciously murdered, any chance of comic relief at this point would feel forced and out of place. As for questioning Jack... Um... I can't imagine any reasonable human being finding any sexual satisfaction in the acts he's being forced to do, especially considering he is the only one that can affect the outcome of his friends' lives. I'd say, his actions are perfectly normal. It would be odd if he didn't react in such ways and kinda paint him as being a bit psychotic too. Which actually brings up a good point. If you're going for a darker ending... Could be that none of them get out of this and Jack kind of loses a bit of grip on his sanity and is forever captive to Julia.
PS: Deleted my previous comment because I forgot to rate and put it on the wrong chapter. =P

thanks for reading/reviewing. i'm glad that you like the tone i'm using here, and that you get my reasoning with avoiding explicitly comedic stuff. as i continued writing this and found it getting bleaker and bleaker i decided my best bet was to just go all in and make it a darkly depressing slog of giantess content. while i don't want to give away the ending, it's probably no secret based on the previous chapters that the conclusion won't be the prettiest thing

OK: I'll comment. This chapter was surprisingly poignant. Due, of course, to _JULIA_ being that way (however briefly)! By this point, though, we--me and the other readers--know all too well that it won't last. That Julia's newest period of lucidity will vanish like a popped soap bubble. That being said; how about a chapter or two of comic relief? Like, say, Jack somehow falls out of the bra and gets found by a bunch of cheerleaders. You could return to the white-knuckle drama by having Julia "rescue" him by shrinking them!*

thanks for reviewing. it's an interesting idea, although one of the main things I'm going for in this story is 100% total isolation with Julia and the tinies. however, as Julia's good mood comes to an end, I ironically do plan on bringing back in a little more of the levity that made earlier chapters less dark, since Jack's got a mission now

Another great chapter. Julia's a fantastic character and truly, deeply psychotic. I love her.
One criticism: Is this dude gay? Does he think he'll win an award for piety? He's got a good thing going...
Author's Response:
thanks for reading. i would imagine he's going less for piety and more for what will prevent his actual girlfriend from getting smashed

Another excellent chapter that leads me to the awaiting climax whenever it shall come.

Great chapter, will our hero have a chance to escape or will Julia use him? At least the punishment is over ... for now. Cannot wait for the Next chapter.
Author's Response:
probably more towards the second option, but I won't rule anything out...
