These longer stories were from when I had my laptop set up and could type more at once.

I love having a giantess who's nice to her friends and a menace to her enemies. But I had to rewrite Juta at one point because she was being "too mean," although the horse thing was a bit rude lol.

I'm happy you take the time to read my replies to other reviews sometimes, you occasionally will get some behind the scenes on each story. Even now I've got about four drafts in my phone ready to be deleted, and an alternate start for "Outage" which I should probably be deleting soon. It's actually a miracle when I upload anything at all. But your reviews and the reviews of others do help me push back my self-hate sometimes and make the push to upload something.

You're too kind, thank you Milla.

   Ha, thanks! Unfortunately that's my business model; just come up with an idea, give it a start, and end it there. Full stories aren't something I'm up for at the moment. But I appreciate that you see some potential in this one.

   Yeah, Juta is a bit of an awful knight when it comes to sticking to honor. If nothing else, she could more easily just fit the role of Hector's Warrior.

   I wanted to at least present some opportunities for her to act like a giantess, she respects Hector far too much to give him any friendly mouth or body play without his consent. Everyone else is free range game for her, though. And the forest is teeming with hostile targets that don't stand a chance.

   Thank you again-- I like to try and give characters a more realistic personality if possible, but I also don't want them to all end up just being the same person in a different body. They need flaws to sort them apart. Thanks for taking the time to submit a review!

   You do me too much honor, Pixis. I appreciate the encouragement, though. I spent the better half of last night just worrying that the story was trash and I shouldn't have even really bothered to type it. As for the sister thing, I touched on that in Nothingness's review on the story-- that whole encounter was originally going to go a much darker route, but I'm glad it went the way it did. A small, sexy roughing up and she was able to leave intact, haha. The horse is what really made me feel bad, though.

   I prefer to do one-shots since they're easier to type without a proper outline/draft-- I usually can type something like this in a few hours. I wish I were more prone to doing a proper story, like you or the other fine writers on here. Regardless, I really appreciate your review. Have a good one!

   Haha! Yeah, I suppose yandere does kind of describe her a bit. I was going for a more D/S Elena-type giantess again, one who could be either cruel or behaved. Not sure where Juta ended up on that spectrum, but her nature is, well, it's something alright.

   Killing the boar was both a way for her to show off, and let off some bloodlust steam. That was Hector's first warning sign that the giantess who placed herself under his command had violent and sadistic tendencies. The way she treated Hector's sister, well, that actually got re-written a few times. Initially, she crushed the horse underfoot instead of kicking it, and ended up swallowing the girl to tie up all loose ends (while worrying about a search party). I found it lore-breaking that she would defy something Hector asked her not to do, even in secret. So that was scrapped. Also, if anything, freaking Chestnut, man... That horse didn't deserve anything that happened to it in the final story, or the draft version.

   You're actually onto something, there. While indeed she has absolutely the best intentions for Hector, she's a wild card and could make future situations more difficult. And, as for Juta's backstory about being a knight, that thought also crossed my mind, too. What if she was lying, and she was just some rouge, crazy yandere who wandered through the forest and eventually met her match at the business end of another giantess's sword? Would that be harder for Hector to accept-- to find out she wasn't even a knight in the first place, and was merely just another one of the forest's oddities? I would personally feel more relieved that I'd even managed to pacify someone like her in the first place. She absolutely doesn't act like a knight, she just wears the outfit and pretends.

   Okay, so in my mind at the time when I mentioned elevators, I did realize that would be an odd term to use. However, I did a bit of googling, and they're a thing, to a small extent. They had wooden platforms and ropes back in the day. Also, if you've ever played Dark Souls 3, there's a wooden elevator that runs off a wench and pulley system in one of the early levels, which is more akin to what I had in mind. It's a bit tough for me to explain, but I certainly didn't have Hector referencing a modern-day hospital or skyscraper elevator with buttons and whatnot.

   Thanks again for the encouragement. You have no idea how much I hate my own work, half the time. Every concieveable flaw runs through my mind. As for this story, I ran it through a proofreader on the internet before submitting it, and had to change probably 20 words, which really ain't so bad. I have learned I like to misspell traveled as 'travelled.' To give some more insight on how much I worry about the little stuff, I think I had a dream last night where somewhere in it, I had only a single review on this story which pointed out numerous mistakes and (for some reason) called it bigoted and racist. Now that I'm awake, I realize how silly that sounds.

   And I wish you well, too.
