In regards to Cary's comment, I will say that I read a shorter story on this site called "Homosizeuals" with a similar basic premise: people come in two general sizes, and it's natural to be with those of the opposite size. That being said, you're expanding the concept to a whole new level, and I think this is shaping up to be a great story.
Apparently, when Dom- and sub-kids learn about "the birds and the bees," they're taught that birds are meant to mate with others of their species who are the size of bees. ;-) Actually, do other animals come in Dom and sub varieties, or is this strictly a human evolution? It would also be interesting to find out how it's determined whether a child will be a Dom or a sub; it seemed like Samantha had a Dom-mom. Is it even possible for a sub-woman to bear a Dom-child? Ouch. The family dynamics in this society must be very interesting. Oh, and I see that you capitalize "Dom" while leaving "sub" lowercase. I love that sort of attention to small details.
It's unfortunate that the disgust toward homoamplitudosexuality (say that ten times fast) in this fantasy world has a counterpart in ours, but I digress.
Author's Response: Oh yes, I remember that story and enjoyed it immensely, and one could certainly say that the basic premise of it helped shape what my overall story became, in a way. Basically I just thought to myself what a world would be like wherein a certain fetish was no longer contained to the realm of fantasy, wherein it is a reality, and how while it would be great in some people's eyes, other people would certainly suffer as well from it's effects. Yeah, like I said to Cary before, I am writing this story not so much as our world looking into theirs, but it's told in their world so that in the context of the story and dialog I am only revealing little bits and pieces about the world and society in which they live in. I like for the reader to fill in the missing gaps of information and try to figure it out, although I am sure to be dropping plenty of more hints and such as the story goes on. I'm glad that you're enjoying it and I hope you continue to do so as I will be updating it very soon!(P.S. Yeah, while there are obvious differences between our world and theirs, there is of course some horrible similarities; a bit of social commentary on my part, if you will, about the disgusting nature of hate.)rn
