Zanderas skillfully uses words to create a visual image in the reader's mind. The interaction between large and small characters and their environment was complex but easy to follow.
Apparently the animals and the trees shrunk as well as the people! That's good, but it raises questions about the cars and airplanes. I guess I will need to read more to understand this world. Maybe I am overthinking again. I do that.
Author's Response:
Glad you are enjoying and thanks for the kind words. This will be answered later on, but everything organic was shrunk, but anything inorganic was left alone. So cars, buildings, etc... are all the same size.

I joined the fold, I hope that you will return the favor and join mine Zan.
Anyways, onto the story.
Just want to say that I appreciated the prologue in the beginning of this chapter, it really helped me out since I didn't play the games.
Also in my opinion the explainations you provided did justice to the universe you were trying to build. The hunting trip was an interesting way of introducing the characters and I aplaud the fact that you did this.
Author's Response:
Never.
Glad it got you up to speed and that the explainations were good. Thanks for the praise.

1. Leave that in, really...
2. Dont care.
3. Yeah, I think you should add these characters...sure some of them are goofy but you can change them somewhat if needed...time has passed after all, people change.
4. I think some ligjtheatedness would help counteract the depressing nature of this story....however dont just shoehorn it in, you need to find good spots where the story can benifit from a bit of humor.

No way Sanders is not finished yet. I think he'll be back in part 2. Nice ending by the way.
[Report This]Date: January 22 2014 8:33 PM Title: Chapter 1: Things Change
A damn good cliffhanger ending! I'm still saddened about Isabella and confused about Aviel. She might be helping Sanders, then again she might be truly evil now. I've known the true nature of this organization since before the first chapter, but was heartened to see some good people in the Society. Unless it has help from the inside, I don't see the Resistance being able to do much to change things. So I don't have much hope for Sanders' life getting any better anytime soon. But what this means now for the reader is that in this act, that giantesses wasn't necessarily evil. I'm assuming in the 2nd act, every giantess we encounter is going to be evil, from Sanders' pov. I hope the wait isn't too long.
Author's Response:
To be fair, Sanders is certainly under no more disillusions about the Society. However, he does know there are good people in it. Isabella wasn't the only good one. Gabby, Alice, Valery, Morgan, and a few others that have not been named ARE good people and Sanders knows it. He isn't going to suddenly think they are all evil, just being lied to and fooled by their higher ups.
As for things getting better, well the second Act is usualy where things go to complete shit so...

Such a gut-wretching chapter, I really don't know how to describe these feelings, but MAN, this is my favorite story at the moment for a damn good reason! I can't wait for act 2!
Author's Response:
Glad to hear it and I will try to keep the wait short.

A ballsy move to kill off a major character while still somewhat early in the series. It was always reassuring to me that the shrunken people had at least one ally in the Society. I'm somewhat familiar with the game this is based off of and I know just how evil it is. I wonder how Sanders will survive this himself. He not only interferred with a Matriarch, but he did it with an illegal firearm. I get a sense where this might be headed.Sanders will probably quit the Society and join the Resistance (eventually), and once things settled down Avial will probably be grown and made a full member of the Society. This would pitt her againest her former friend.
I look forward to the next chapter!

I just reread the chapter....Man I can't believe Isabella was offed like that. She was such a good character and a kind caring person. The fact that Sanders killed her to ease her pain just hits even harder. This chapter was amazing and deserving of all this praise and more, I really hope we get an update to this soon...The suspence is killing me!

Holy fucking shit, this story just got a hundred times more interesting over the course of one chapter! What was so important to the society that they needed to kill Isabella so quickly!? Oh man, where is this story heading towards?
Author's Response:
To the end of Act 1, obviously. And maybe we will find out.

I love this story with a passion but boy do you like your cliffhangers!

If only Isabella had given Morgan that ride.
Author's Response:
Indeed. But I am a big fan of there being just that one little, seemingly, irrelvant choice that might have changed everything.
Oh well...

Nice update! I especially loved the tidbits of awkwardness when Sanders just non-chalantly comes knocking on the door, alive and well. Really well done there, as well as playing on Fionne's emotions and Pyrra being jelly that Sanders was taken away like that! As for Morgan, well she must REALLY be new to being a giantess because she still finds time to be amazed by just how big she is in her current state.
As always, this was an excellent and well written chapter, and I wonder how your going to end Act I of this story.
[Report This]Date: November 01 2013 10:03 AM Title: Chapter 1: Things Change
Great! I really hope we find out how Aviel and Fionne escaped, it seems like they had some kind of deal with the resistance or something. This story just gets better by the minute, I can't wait for another update!

Despite the slower updates, this is my favorite story on this site right now, so props to you! The recent chapter definitely thickened the plot somewhat, although it seems Aviel isn't going to change her mind anytime soon.
Author's Response:
I will try to get back on a once a week posting schedule, but work and such is getting more hectic as winter hits and the holidays began to approach.
And yes, Aviel does seem rather set in her ways.

I kind of predicted that the catgirl was actually gonna kiss him but I didnt wanna say anything cuz I thought you might change it. Great chapter, although im kind of disapointed the sword interrupted when she did! Is this sword as crazy as the other broads? This is literally my favorite story on this site right now, I cant wait for next chapter. Kudos for writting such an awesome story!

Weird development, I wonder what is causing those distortions.
The scene with Isabella and the others standing over the forest combined with the inch of snow being extremely dangerous to the shrunken people makes me wonder how animals even fare in those conditions. It seems one heavy rain storm or harsh snow would completely wipe out an entire ecosystem. When you think about the repercussions of every living thing apparently being shrunk, you realize the society really didn’t think things through. I don’t even think it’s been explained what unshrunk society members eat.
Author's Response:
Ehh, yeah. I will admit some things I just have to handwave, and how the animals survive weather outside is sorta a "they adapted now stop poking holes in things!" The real explaination, which does have problems, I know, is just that they find old caves, hills, and other places where the rain won't completely was them away and the ten years has seen them adapt a much better "weather instinct" so the speak. Basically, all surviving animals know when bad weather is coming long before it ever comes and hide because of it.
As for what the giantesses eat, that will be explained later.

Either fionne is on some shit and imagining things or she's remembering a long repressed sad past.
Great chapter for her development btw...
-----------
But the more I think about how badly this violence has gotten, the more I think about how weird it is that people are getting hurt and killed over something as trivial as what started this whole thing!
I mean, when Lutice and their friends first saw the group I kind of expected the giga bitches to maybe toss and bully the tiny people a bit and then be on their way...But BOY how badly things have escalated! Cmon Lutice and pals are supposed to be trained soldiers and suddenly they become murderous cunts, capable of killing even other giantess's! Its breaks my suspension of disbelief a little...
I guess the weirdest thing has been the "demonizing" of the resistance this entire story has been telling and then show us that the most violence and damage that the group of main characters have recieved thus far has been from their own kind!
Its a little hard to believe that these Giantesses who weild ridiculous power aren't given psychiatric exams and if they did how did THESE loose cannons get past!
Great ark to be sure, but the way that its escalated to life/death is what throws me for a loop a little...Just a bit of criticism from me this time, other than that, I mostly have nothing but good things to say about this story!
[Report This]Date: September 07 2013 10:20 AM Title: Chapter 1: Things Change
Its been hard to root for the resistance with the things youve had them do, like blowing people up and shooting women and children...But it seems the Society isnt just rainbows and ponies either.
Im a little offset as to why Lutice when from hearthearted hero in Sanders mind to a crazy muderous bitch the next time they met...Has she gone mad with power or something?
Also, I hope we start getting some resistance characters we actually care about, this story so far (besides Lutice & pals) seems to be painting the Society as saviors and the resistance as brutish thugs.
As it stands now, it doesn't seem like the resistance even has much to pose a threat against a gts...Do they have their own giantess's? Or maybe they have teams of badass giantess killers like Chijinda and his team in the game? You DO have magic in this universe so it would be believable to have some tinies that can go up against a giantess...
Anyway great job so far, this chapter was awesome and I cant wait for the next chapter! Truly, this story deserves more views, I hope more people take notice of this one!
Author's Response:
Some good questions and concerns. All I can say, though, to avoid spoilers is that stuff will get revealed and...well things are not always black and white...or grey either sometimes... I will say this, though. Remember that so far we have been seeing things through people controlled, at least in part, and informed by the Society.
And thanks for praise, its always welcome!
[Report This]Date: September 07 2013 7:16 AM Title: Chapter 1: Things Change
Somehow I'm not surprised how the Sword ladies acted. I played the game and the Society is EVIL. So this behavior is more typical of the giantesses in the game. Giantesses like is Isabella is not typical and she probably doesn't know the truth about the Society. I'm a bit curious about Lutice. A few years ago she seemed benevolent and kind. Now she seems like a mean bitch. However, her old self seems to still be there beneath the surface of her meaness. I'm still waiting for that sexual action you mentioned in the first chapter. I was expecting it might have been between Sanders and Flonne (since she's not too big). The Society giantesses are just too big for it to be pleasant for both parties (though I'm sure mega gts fans would disagree).
Author's Response:
Indeed, these seem a lot more like the old Society Chijunda knew and ran from. As for Lutice...well... wait and see.
The sexy stuff will come, but I don't want to force it either which has been my main problem. Just trying to shove in some AND THEN THEY HAD SEX is something I am trying to avoid, but I do have a sex scene planned out and coming in a few chapters.
