Oh, I do like these stories set in the past. Nowadays a giantess would simply be isolated in quarantine in a secret location and that would be that, but in low tech and low infrastructure settings the people just have to put up with them and vice versa, with interesting interactions. Very well written and descriptive story.

In the previous chapter you asked for comments, critiques, ideas, and requests, and seeing that this story is being updated again, I figure I might as well leave some.

Anna seems to be a nice girl, evidenced by her never killing anyone before she accidently killed the indian scout, and she does do a lot of work to benefit the town and other towns, but how do they sustain her?  At over 200 feet tall, she is going to need to have tremendous needs placed on the small towns around her.

The one thing the story hasn't yet addressed is the logistics of her everyday needs and functions. Drinkable freshwater could be a concern, since she needs to drink about the equivalent of a large pond of freshwater water everyday, and since she would have to pee several times a day she would be peeing out the equivalent of a small pond everytime she pees. Due to her size, she would be snapping trees everytime she walks through a new area in a very forested setting. For these reasons any area she spends time in, would become deforested, with cracked trees everywhere, and swampy very quickly. Maybe this is why there is tension with the indians. She's drinking their drinkable fresh water, knocking down their forests, and pissing on them. Her bathing in the lake seems a little wasteful of a drinkable freshwater source, it would probably be more wise and frugal for her to bath in the sea instead, in the long run. And of course there is the question of feeding her. What does she eat? The townspeople are going to have a very difficult time keeping up with her food needs to fuel her huge body. The only one thing that can satisfy her for a day would be a whale, and if there is a whaling port that might help, but she would need to eat a whale a day, which might be impractical. Maybe she is loaned out to other towns on a "will work for food" basis, doing work in exchange for food on a rotating town to town schedule. And the people whose jobs she's doing for them, possibly working on procuring food for her instead. And if she needs to eat she also needs to poop, which might be a problem if she needs to poop out a log the size of a house about everyday. Although if the locals use this, they never have to worry about running out of useable fertilizer. There are a couple of very good stories on this site, "Fracture Factor X" and "Saturn Seven" that involve giantesses in similar old time settings and addressing the logistical needs that their bodies impose on the locals. Although in those stories the giantesses are a bit more amoral, but Anna is so far a gentle giantess due to her upbringing, even if her huge size can cause problems.

How famous is she among the British Empire? Could the ships coming in be bringing relief food as well, for her and the townsfolk, or has she not yet gained the Empires attention quite yet? If she has, there would probably be curious nobles, scholars, and scientists coming in to examine her.

There seems to be some sexual frustration on Anna's part. She's 19 with hormones, a bit of a late bloomer in terms of just beginning to show herself off, beginning to notice and lust for men, and yet the chapter about her bathing mentions that "no man in the world could hope to fill her womanhood" as if it's a lament from her perspective. Also due to the standards of her time she has to wear clothes even if it's wildly impractical for both her and the townspeople. For them to make, and for her to wear, since her one set of clothes (no underwear) would become very filthy very quickly. Could her being caught bathing in the lake be a subtle way of rebeling and expressing herself sexually through exhibitionism. It seems like she wanted to get caught, and when she did get caught she didn't shoo the indian scout away, she instead got turned on to the point that she accidently molested the guy to death when she tried to express herself sexually through direct contact. She was turned on by being caught, but she was also traumatized that the first time she tried to intiate physical erotic contact was also the first time that she ended up killing someone. Could she be beginning to express herself sexually through subtle, and now after killing the guy, non contact exhibitionism? Arranging to have herself get "caught" when she has to have her womanhood exposed like when she's peeing or bathing. She seems to have a thing for Roland too, interesting to see how that goes and if she can find a way to make him stay.

As for story ideas/requests a couple of scenarios would be:

1. Anna despite being a gentle giantess who doesn't consciously hurt people ends up accidently and unknowingly swallowing Roland. During her feeding time as a result of an accident, or a prank gone wrong, he ends up mixed in with her food and due to her size is swallowed whole along with her food without her noticing. Kind of like the giant in the classic disney cartoon "The brave little tailor" or in the Simpsons episode with the Paul Bunyan parody. He uses 17th century matches to start a fire to see in her stomach, or uses a small night lantern. It takes a while before they figure out what happened, digestion is slow, but when they do, she throws him up and is super apologetic and promises to make it up to him.

2. Roland and/or some other characters are trapped in a burning building in town, and with them being in immediate danger, and there being no time to make trips to scoop up handfuls of water like how she's described putting out smaller fires, Anna is forced to put out the fire by exposing her womanhood in front of the town and peeing to put out the fire and save lives, like a giantess version of a scene from "Gulliver's Travels." 

All in all I really do hope to see this story go on, it's detailed, and well written, and a site highlight when it's updated. It seems to be your most viewed, and commented on story so it's popular with good reason. Thank you, and please keep on writing.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the excellent and well thought out response! You made some great points, I'll address them one by one:

Eating/Drinking: Plenty of water for her in nearby rivers and lakes. Food is definetly more challenging. I assume with her help the farmers are able to grow enough crops to keep her sustained. Perhaps there's a bit of supernatural handwaving where she doesn't need to eat very much to survive. It's not something I've given much thought to, I'm more interested in Anna's relationships, interactions, and erotic stuff.

Going to the Bathroom: I absoltely detest scat and piss erotica. I will never ever include poop or pee in my stories. To each their own, but I think it's fucking gross. Sorry lol.

Reputation: Anna isn't well known outside Little Standish and the nearby colonies. The story is set in a time period where news traveled slowly, with tall tales and myths being spread by word of mouth. Any stories about a giant woman in the New World would be dismissed as sailor's tales. Little Standish is quite remote from the outside world. 

Sexual Frustration: You hit the nail on the head. Anna is exploring her sexuality, but obviously normal relations for her are impossible. I like your exhibitionism idea.

As for your scenario requests: sorry, no poop, no pee, and definetly no digestion. I get sick just thinking about that sort of stuff lol.  

Thanks for the kind words. I encourage you to check out my other stories, especially "The Vivarium", I think there's stuff there you might like :)

Ah the Miller's Daughter makes a return! I was just thinking about this story not too long ago. I'm glad to see you're still active on this site, and that Anna hasn't gone away quite yet. I really enjoy her. Her description is beautiful and your writing is top notch quality. The chapter was short, sweet, and wasted no time in showing the audience what we want to see. But at the same time you took your time with the descriptions of the fight between the Natives and the giantess. That was very well done. A vengeful giantess who protects her people is comendable, and likeable. What originally drew me to Anna, though, was that she was a gentle giantess, which is my favorite kind. I think you've found a good balance here with her character. Next I'd like to see her playful side again as she interacts with more people. One of my favorite tropes for the gentle giantess are when kids play at her feet, which she enjoys, while she has a conversation with someone else. That way you get to see her be playful and huge while also learning more about her as a character. But that's just what I like personally. Don't go writing this story to please others. Keep writing it the way you want to, because that's the reason it's coming along so well.

Author's Response:

Thanks! I wanted to write this chapter for crush/gore fans, but I was careful to justfiy Anna using violence. I think it makes sense for her character to resort to violence when protecting people she cares about. She is a protector.
