Title: Chapter 9: Balm in Gilead
An awesome mash-up of a popular movie/game genre and size smut, beautifully realized, and gushing with love and homages to zombie fiction of all types. Excellent work here!
As usual, your characters were really charming, especially Barb, the geeky shut-in turned badass zombie-slayer determined to protect her tiny lover. The bleak, apocalyptic setting contrasted nicely with all the heartwarming (and sexy) moments throughout the story. Cassie and Pete were great additions too, offering a slightly different flavor of the size dynamic seen with Barb and John. And Celia made for a fantastic villain, perfectly bratty and despicable while remaining tantalizing in an almost cruel giantess sort of way.
I found it interesting that the tinies are normal sized people with bigs being actual giants considering the entire story took place in an area where everything is scaled to the giant's size, so it's almost like they aren't giant at all. Nothing wrong with that, it just stood out to me as an interesting design choice.
The story was absolutely entertaining throughout, and I really liked the happy ending with Barb finally finding her place in the world and the friends she gathered along the way, and all that other gushy goodness.
Author's Response: October is certainly the best time of year to read this story, isn't it? Anyways I guess that the giants and tinies are both using the respective labels relative to one another, without the tinies the giants wouldn't call themselves that and vice versa.
The overall tone of this story is very much in line with the Romero movies, it's bleak and hopeless, yet it's pretty silly and upbeat at the same time. I'm obviously a fan of lighter endings than he was though. Thanks for reading!
