Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: The Beginning
Possibly the best-written gts story I've yet read!
I am mainly a mini-GTS fan so this review will mostly pertain to the first 10 chapters or so, before he gets too small for my taste. But in those 10 chapters I absolutely loved the plot, characters, dialogue -- basically, everything. What sets this story apart in my mind is how the characters gradually treat Scott with less and less respect as he dwindles in height, shown by behavior that is sometimes subtle, sometimes overtly condescending, e.g. his secretary starting to call him 'Scott' instead of 'Mr. Adams', his family (even his own daughter!) patting him on the head, and eventually his wife reprimanding him as she would his 10-year-old son. Also, the choice of characters was perfect -- the women are tall, sexy, and confident, an excellent counterpart to Scott's diminishing stature and authority. One disappointment I had was that his boss, Gail, was phased out of the story relatively early -- I enjoyed how direct she was in belittling Scott and stripping him of authority; Karen was too soft as a boss in my opinion. Also, I have read on to some of the micro-GTS part and found it surprisingly agreeable as well, even though that's not usually my cup of tea.
Once again, fantastic story and I hope to see more mini-GTS content from you in the future!
Author's Response: Thanks for the kind words. I'm sorry Gail couldn't stay longer, but elevating Karen from a subordinate to a peer and then to a superior was something that had to happen in my opinion. I probably could have done it and kept Gail around too, but I wanted Karen to assume Gail's authority. I also felt that it had to be a temporary gig to be believable since Karen had only recently been promoted to peer. I had toyed with the idea of having Gail make the visit to Scott's home, but opted for Karen instead. Admittedly, I did favor the former subordinate role reversal dynamic. I am about 40 pages into Volume II and so far it’s all mini-GTS. That will begin to change as the story progresses, but there will be a lot of mini-GTS content the first half of the story. Interaction at that size level is easier to accomplish than at the larger scales. Thanks again!
