Watching yourself as a giant and watching yourself as a YouPet. A pity YouPets don't exist yet in real life.
Author's Response:
It would certainly be a dark reality.

Fantastic story! Fast paced and exciting, with a devilishly satisfying ending -- surreal horror and sense of finality (from the YouPet's perspective) mixed with an almost 'uplifting' sense of relief and contentedness from the 'real' Jennifer's perspective. Great contrast there.
I usually prefer long stories, but I think in this case you were right to make this story short. I suppose there's only so much you can do with two characters who already know each other totally and completely -- makes it hard to have drawn-out character development and intrigue if they both already know what's coming. But it's perfect for a short-but-sweet story like this.
I suppose a follow-up story could be interesting, though -- not sure how, but I'm sure you could find a way to make it work, if that's what you wanted to do.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review man. I had several requests to make this one longer, but in the end I wanted the focus to stay squarely on the relationship of the giantess and clone rather than going into too much additional action, and making it short was the easiest way to do that. I will almost certainly do a follow-up at some point in the distant future, since this was quite fun.

PS
Speaking of mt2, I've just been rereading it, and "That's ALCOHOL... When you drink it, people can get hurt. And then people have to make hard
decisions about what will happen next: to the people that hurt, and the people that got hurt.
Does that make sense to you, Scott?"
Author's Response:
Hehehe... I guess I win the subtlety award for foreshadowing, don't I?

Typically when I read your stories, my expectations are higher than when I read other people's... And yet, you always exceed them. Wonderful story, well done.
I would be interested in follow ups, definitely. Maybe give Jennifer some characteristics that make it awkward to interact with herself (the youpets interacting with eachother, I mean), like needing to be the center of attention, being a compulsive liar, etc. Perhaps even some more characters... I can think of one popular character from your stories that would be quite interesting. ;)
Look at me, rambling away. Great work!
Author's Response:
Thanks very much! I want to explore the idea of several YouPets getting together because I think it would make for an interesting mix of them trying to attack each other for all the shit Jennifer's planned while also having to work together to survive. I appreciate your review.

Aw, I was really rooting for mini-Jennifer, hoping she could somehow get through to the real one and make her see the error of her ways. I guess it wasnt meant to be. It's funny how I saw her as the good guy in all this, yet she would've done the same if she were the real Jennifer, which she...kind of still was. This one really messes with the head.
Great short story dude, I look forward to the next one.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reviewing. My intention all along was to make the YouPet a very questionable good guy, seeing as she would be doing exactly what Jennifer is doing if she was her size, so I'm glad to hear it worked to an extent. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

One more chapter?
I guess we're not getting a happy ending for little Jennifer. :(
Author's Response:
Proooobably not. Hehe...

This story is really good. You have an excellant writing style and am enjoyable flare that makes your scenarios incredible to read. I look forward to seeing where you're going to take this and am excited for the real fun to begin.

Thanks for reading/reviewing!

As always, you deliver. Great scenario, great start and you know I love my readheads. I'm really looking forward to seeing what twists and turns lay ahead.
Author's Response:
I do indeed. Thanks for reviewing man.

And so the very one-sided psychological torture (and hopefully some nasty physical one too!) begins! I wonder though, since the YouPet knows the real Jennifer so well, could it possibly get into her head somehow? It'll be interesting to see.
And I also can't wait for the other eventual implied mini-Jennifers. If this one survives, the shock of seeing the first one (and the damage that will presumably be done to her until that point) by the others will be another interesting scenario to read.
Author's Response:
Not a bad guess. I'm sure you'll have your answer by story's end. Teehee...

Don't take this the wrong way,I really am enjoying the story so far,but at the same time I can't help but wonder how could you think of something so twisted?this is most likely the one of the cruelest forms of psychological torture ever imagined.i would just like to know what sparked off the idea for this story?
Author's Response:
A fair question! I keep myself interested in fetish writing by always trying to think of new ways to explore the psychology of size-changing, which is really what made me intrigued by it in the first place. A literal identity crisis seemed a provocative way to make readers (and myself) have to think with a bit more depth about the actions of the characters.
Date: March 22 2014 7:43 PM Title: Chapter 1: Best Laid Plans
This crops up a ton of questions. Will the YouPet Jennifer be aware of the real Jennifer's moves before she makes them, or has the cloning process sever any sort of connection they would have had?
Also, this is just me nitpicking, but at one point you described YouPets as 1 3/4 inches, yet later said they were four inches?
Author's Response:
I'd answer here, but I think you'll see in the next chapter, so I'll just keep quiet for now.
Thanks for catching the typo; it's 1 3/4, not 4.

Good story (I'm keeping the review veeeeery short, because 1. the story is still short, and 2. I'm chronically undecided, so answeing your poll was a big deal for me [my session ended while I was writing -- again :])
About your poll: difficult question. I've been pestering you to write MT5 even commenting other stories, but actually having to choose...
I asked /dev/random, and it replied "short stories", so I'll vote for that.
Part of me disagrees - my choice would have been either mt6 or finish your old stories, based on the selfish reason that there are many excellent short stories here, but long stories which are consistently good are (obviously) much less common, and you'e one of the very few who's actually able to write them.
That being said, if you have some ideas on your mind (or you just need a break), it would be best to just write them down.
To sum it up: follow whatever idea you find yourself spending a lot of time thinking about.
When in doubt, short stories, just because /dev/random says so. And because exploring new possibilities can't hurt, and may give you nice ideas.
But whatever you do, don't forget you sort of promised Julia wouldn't take centuries ;p
@Casanova tnx, I knew I had already read something similar but couldn't find it
Author's Response:
Thanks for commenting/replying to the casual poll. Part of why I said short stories and the longer ones is because I use those as little breathers while I try to will myself into getting further in Julia. The problem there is that I've got Julia's conclusion mapped pretty clearly in my head, but the fact that it's already so long with multiple threads to juggle makes it more complicated. My main goal on that one now is to at least finish up Act 3, which is drawing close.

Wuh-Oh! Look's like Jennifer got reverse-slammed! Ha! I like the way you slipped that in there. Man, just the thought of that is a little unsettling.... thinking that your about to get a YouPet, and then actually ending up being one!
Great Idea, I like it!
Author's Response:
Thanks for reviewing man. The set-up for a turn like that was just too perfect to resist.

This sounds promising. Please try to not go into mindfuck territory with two seperate beings essentially sharing a mind.
Author's Response:
Hehe well I'm going to try to make it easy to follow, but the fact that they share a lot of memories is going to play into it heavily. Thanks for reviewing.

Damn slick reveal, sir. Rod Serling would approve.

Interesting concept Jacksmith! I'm looking forward to seeing how this pans out.
This 'copying yourself' idea has always fascinated me. I don't just mean in regards to our fetish, but in scientific terms too, esepcially concerning the age-old question of what consciousness is. Are we truly unique? Or are we simply a product of the laws of physics?I mean, if everything that makes you who you are, your memories, habits, thought patters etc. are the products of neural connections inside your brain and they are constrained to the physical world, what exactly separates one consciousness from another? What makes one disctinctive from the other?
It'll be fascinating to see how our little copy deals with the situation now, especially since she knows the giantess insideout.
Author's Response:
Thanks for sharing your thoughts bud. That question is one I enjoy pondering as well, and I fully intend to force the reader to face it along with the little copy in these chapters.

Holy Moley. I've never even thought of doing a story like this. I'm not aware of the story mentioned by Casanova, so to me this idea is totally new. The clone idea itself is fun and has lots of potential, but the implications of Jennifer doing it to herself are even more thrilling. I love the 'moral divide' that separates the characters in your stories, where the little character is stripped of almost all humanity in the big one's eyes and there's like a 'barrier' preventing the big one from empathizing with the little as she torments 'it'. And the little one's appeals to humanity just fall on deaf ears.
But to do that to yourself is ... wow. It makes the moral divide infinitely more fascinating. She'll be able to torture herself and see the exact same reactions she'd expect, but STILL doesn't empathize with the little one (well, presumably, but I'll be interested to see where you take it for sure). It's basically the strongest possible form of height-based discrimination and condescension I can imagine, and I'm jealous I hadn't thought of it first :P. Kidding (mostly). But I'm glad it's in your capable hands, so that the potential of this scenario won't be missed.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading/reviewing man. That moral divide, as you put it, of characters in giantess stories fascinates me above all else, and this seemed like a unique way to try and explore it further. Rest assured I plan to delve heavily into the implications of Jennifer essentially torturing herself.

Really love the concept, this seems like a really neat dynamic. It will be a ton of fun seeing Jennifer watch her old life from such a pathetic perspective. Hope she gets to meet her friends.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading! This story is actually just going to be Jennifer and YouPet focused, but people seem to like the concept so far, so I may bring them back at some point depending on how this story is received and throw in variations like that.
