Summary:

Scott Stevens, shrunken and incarcerated in his own home, faces dire consequences for his crimes in the hands (and shoes) of his giant family and acquaintances.  All the while, his mother Judy is hard at work on her senatorial campaign, and as usual has some conniving tricks in store.

Gonna have to agree with riczar on this one. There's gotta be a mental limit on how much they can pt them through, right? Weren't they supposed to be a normal suburban family before all this happened? Honestly, I'd say that even if it meant the an injury or two for Scott, it'd be worth it for the family to find out what that limit is. Maybe a flick to the stomach after a rough play sesson and he coughs up blood? Punctured innards and all that. In any case, I hope it lightens up a bit too.

Your detail is superb as usual though, nice work



Author's Response:

There probably is indeed a limit somewhere, and it just might get reached eventually (meaning almost definitely).  I will say that, no, they were never really a very 'normal' family in the sense of having solidarity amongst the family members; Scott's been the troublemaker since he was a teen and his mother's punishments have fed into a vicious cycle that's made them all pretty sickly dysfunctional. The content will be a bit less dark within the next couple chapters. Glad you like the detail!

Oh hell no. I don't mind how much physical trauma you can put him through, but his own sister fucking with his love life is crossing one line too many. I don't know if this was your intention, but this chapter left me absolutely fuming. Getting cockblocked by your own sister during such a time like this is not okay. I'm not having a good time here. It was not poorly written,  but I truly hated this chapter. I am not looking forward to what's to come. What I am looking forward to, however,  is seeing swift justice bear down upon Maggie. Preferably in the form of several blows to the babymaker.



Author's Response:

Well, I'm sorry you didn't like the chapter. I did hope readers could try to sympathize with Scott's struggle here, though, and it sounds like you did. Maggie will eventually have to face up to her own cruelty.

I'll admit my heart was beating with hatred for Maggie when I started the chapter,  but you couldn't possibly imagine the sense of relief that had welled over me when I finished. Thank you for letting poor Scott off softly this time around Jacksmith, but I can't help but think this little exchange of truce is a caveat of something truly horrible to come. Nice job as always.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reviewing. I do let Scott off the hook occasionally. Though I won't spoil, you're right that this is a bit of a calm before the storm.

Date: November 17 2014 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18: One Small Step for Man, One Small Bite for Maggie

Gosh, neither of them are getting away with this lightly, are they? This whole chapter just lights up signals for a harsh punishment. 

Nonconsentual mouthplay isnt very high on my list of favorite interactions,  but you've done it very well. 

Maggie's raw sadism makes my stomach churn like no other character, so I wouldn't mind her getting the short end of the deal this time. Really, I wouldn't mind at all.

For better or worse, I'm looking forward to a change in character. I'm not sure if my weak heart can take much more of Scott's suffering.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading. I definitely intended for this chapter to feel like a pinnacle for Maggie's cruelty in terms of her sadism being at an all-time high, though there is a bit of a silver lining coming up soon for Scott, if that's any consolation.

Date: January 01 2015 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26: The Party

A chilling chapter indeed, but is it safe to predict that Judy's proposal won't come to light as your stories further down the timeline display more cases of temporary shrinking? Either way, the suspense is at a high, and I eagerly await what's next. Nancy having her fill, and hopefully some more intimate interactions with the new Maggie. 



Author's Response:

That's a good point to bring up, since Watch Over is chronologically after the Timeout stories. Here though Judy is proposing the required reduction of all criminals. Those who want to be shrunken of their own free will can still do so, meaning it's not necessarily giving anything away. Both Nancy and Maggie will get some more face time with Scott before the story ends.

Reviewer: Orpheus Signed starstarstarstar
Date: February 11 2015 Title: Chapter 31: Chapter 31: For the Good

Gotta agree with riczar once again on this chapter, Scott's anticipated talk with Judy ended up underwhelming and somewhat disappointing to me. Seeing as it was hyped pretty hard with his tying loose ends with Ella and enlightenment of his mother's true evils, I figured a much bigger showdown would occur.

Instead, he get beat down pretty quickly without much of a fight. Is he really just going to end up as the family pet?

I'm fairly confident that Judy's master plan won't come to bear fruit as evidenced by the stories down the timeline, but the lack of justice on Scott's end makes this story kind of inconclusive.

Hopefully the final chapter will bring some closure, at least for this story. 

Or maybe it'll end with Judy reigning victorious, taking the win this time around. Maybe Scott will get his justice someday in the future.



Author's Response:

I see what you're saying, although the ending wasn't intended to be a showdown - Scott just doesn't have the tools right now to do anything about his mother's plans. This was just intended to be a laying out of truths between the two. It's not like he's already doomed to be the family pet, since Judy still has an uphill battle to get more people on board with her idea in the future. It's a fair statement that Scott's not getting justice for some of what happened to him in this story just yet, though keep in mind this is one part of a continuing series, so his journey is far from over.

Summary:

A wonderful, completely not violent, story about a Miko who's chosen to stop the conflict in her land using a small red charm.

Shit, I missed the thread in which this story came about. I'm too lazy to start archive-hopping, you have the link on you?

Anyway, this was a pretty decent set up. However, it is to my knowledge that you completely misunderstand the usage of the phrase "Ara ara", as stated by the samurai (whose disposition doesn't really correspond at  all with traditional warriors of glorious nihongo). Unless its misuse was intentional, I suggest getting a bit more familiar with the phrase before putting it to use. Right now, it sticks out like a sore thumb.



Author's Response:

Look, I need SOMETHING for him to say. I know it's an 'oh my' but I really couldn't find an expression that DOES fit this. I didn't find one.

You sure know how to spurn a yarn.  Though I'll admit some of your plot elements can get a little silly, you work detail really well, and I enjoyed it a lot.

I realize you're pretty big into anal vore, but if you're delivering requests, I'll bite. How about something with the always unappreciated handplay aspect? Preferably without mutilation.

Oho, another branch of your special little universe,  huh? Interesting. I don't remember too much about the first one, but maybe these two will show a Shrink Act Files sequel? I'm liking the set up so far, platonic relationships in these circumsizes are not very common.

 

Also, the PMRD shrinks the body toward the position of the head? I assume someone standing up will shrink at a rate in which the head won't plummet to the floor, yeah?



Author's Response:

This is indeed in the same universe, though this one actually takes place over 10 years after Shrink Act Files.

You're right about the direction someone shrinks. I cheated a little on the logic because I liked the idea of him shrinking right into her hand.

Good golly, your sense of detail and second person point of view has made my dick touch the ceiling. I look forward to where this goes, have you planned far with it? How many chapters do you think this'll go?

A small problem I'm having so far is how much you're pushing the "experience no else knows" thing going on. It gives me the  feeling that it's being rubbed in my face a bit. It might be just jealously on my part, but repeating it sort of grates on me.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading. This will be a shorter story at around 7 chapters, though it's meant more as an introduction for these characters.

Sorry if it feels like that part is being rubbed in your face, though the theme of it is kind of central to the story. It'll have more significance a few chapters from now.

Golly, starting off with the holiday suffering right away, huh? How interesting. The F/f tag is very intriguing. 

 

It'd be a real breath of fresh air if Ian turned out to be a rational and assertive man filled with righteous wit, willing to put his miniscule foot down for the woman he loves, rather than the usual (excuse my terminology) beta tinies turn out to be.

I'm getting my hopes up too high, aren't I? Let the suffering begin I suppose, I hope my heart can take it.



Author's Response:

Not that I want to spoil, but that F/f may or may not be intended for the eventual appearance of an Omega.

I promise Ian is a far better person than the central Beta of my previous story in this series. Hopefully you enjoy what's to come.

My heart is absolutely racing, and you paused it so abruptly! I have to agree with NightEye here, Lauren can simply threaten to report all of this, can't she? Her mom's already broken the little guy's arm, she can file that for aggresion to Aegis. Then again, I don't think Britney's in the right state of mind to heed such warnings. 

Gotta hand it to you for making Ian stand up for himself. He's got a calm disposition for this kind of situation, and I like that, knowing that kicking and screaming won't get you anywhere.

I've forgotten to ask, how long do you think this one'll go? Planning for a happy ending on Christmas? Also, I've been happily awaiting the conclusion to Watch Over, is its ending coming up next?

Finally, I'm curious as to how you can consistently update and juggle three stories at once. Do you plan far far ahead, or do the stories simply write themselves?

Nice job at always.



Author's Response:

Lauren does have that option, and may be using it very soon; Britney is indeed not thinking clearly enough to consider that.

Ian's probably had a tough enough life that he's learned the only way to keep from losing himself is to stay true to his feelings.

There are 3 chapters left of this. I'll be posting the end to Watch Over very soon.

I plan fairly far ahead and then write chapters of whatever I'm in the mood for in quick bursts. Thanks for the review!

Neat little yarn you've spun here. 

Though it turned out to be more or less a simple power trip in the end, bullying a tiny as a schoolyard crush is oddly cute. 

In any case, it's nice to know Julia will be continuing, is there anything else you're rolling off the assembly line any time soon?



Author's Response:

Thanks. I do acknowledge the coolness of the schoolyard crush idea; in this case, though, since there's a plan in mind for her in a future story, I had to keep the characterization consistent.

Aside from Julia, I'm working on a short story in my PMRD series, another story in this witchcraft universe, and then a dystopian sort of one with more focus on gritty fetish action.

Summary:

A young witch and her adopted brother find themselves with a weekend alone, which gets far more interesting for both when the powerful girl decides she prefers her human sibling on the shorter side.

Really loving this story so far, I hope Lucy doesn't bite off more than she can chew.

In any case, was the wink by Neil in the second last paragraph an impulse thing, or is Lucy actually able to tell that he did it by sensing the impact of the sound waves from his eyelids slapping against each other?

I don't know much about blindness, but I'm fairly certain one can't see winks.

Neat chapter though, I love their interactions with each other.

Thanks for reading. The wink was indeed just an impulse; Lucy can't detect it.

An adorable ending. However, I was somewhat disappointed that there wasn't as much actual hand interaction as I was expecting, given the set up and the title. It's certainly an aspect about this fetish I love, and what you did end up putting in was very enjoyable. Hopefully, this lovely pair will have more appearances in the future. 

Nonetheless, another great piece once again.



Author's Response:

Fair. As I wrote, the story shifted from the hand focus I originally had into one about this act Lucy is going through for her friend. Glad to hear you still enjoyed it; as always, I appreciate your commentary.

Has she? I'm sorry, my memory must be a little fuzzy. I had always thought she had been quite physically abusive yes, but never to the point of near-death.

If she's fully prepared to wreak havoc upon the land, then all the better, huh?

She's done some things that brought Jack nearer to death than others, though never with the actual intent of ending him.

Date: May 13 2016 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Her World

OH BOY. IT'S HAPPENING.

The nightmare has finally become the reality. I never thought this day would come. Gone are the days of her intimate and private one-on-one sessions with Jack, Ms Arton's going on a little rampage, huh? As far as I can remember, I don't think she's ever committed any truly physical brutality on Jack or anyone. Does she even have the guts to do it now? Perhaps these circumstances will cause her to have a change of heart. Or just a much larger one.

It's gotta be said, I think this has been the most story-driven entries to the series so far. Probably due to the fact that our two main characters spent so much time apart. In fact, most of the action took place in flashbacks than any other, no?

One of the my biggest concerns is how consistent these recent chains of events will be with the references to the Artons in places like The Shrunk Act Files and other stories set in the future. Has anything given a change of mind on how the timeline goes, or ahs this been your plan from the very beginning? I'm curious to find out.

Any plans on releasing any other works between now and Blackmail 6? Besides finishing up Hostage, of course. Will 6 be the final conclusion to our favorite pair of siblings? Or at least just the main series, perhaps? Any thoughts on some possible noncanon "What If" scenarios or retellings?

I'm gonna agree with Adam here, Familiy Reunion is one of my favorites of yours and a sequel or any sort of follow up would be just heavenly.



Author's Response:

Definitely good to question what Carly's capable of, since her cruelty has always been very intimate before. But it's safe to assume she's not afraid to experiment now that she's huge. It probably is the most story-focused on the ALB stories. Most of the action was in flashback or dream sequence.

Glad you're still thinking about the other stories in the timeline. Nothing has changed, and this has indeed been the plan from the beginning. ;)

There will be new works between this and Blackmail 6 (Hostage's end will be coming very soon). At this moment, I'm foreseeing 6 as the final conclusion, but I've definitely become more open to writing a what-if off-shoot story in the past few months.

And I do plan to continue Family Reunion someday.

Wow, reading this chapter sent shudders down my spine. Something about the way you wrote Jack's encounter had a very eery tone to it, whether intentional or not. Especially when knee socks are usually charming to me. I'm glad it got a little warmer near the end though.

You've done a swell job in capturing how Carly's corruption lingers in Jack, even after it's been so long since his 'freedom'. I'm still rooting for him and hoping for a happy ending after all he's been though.

Great job as always.



Author's Response:

Good to hear! It was definitely meant to be eerie. Thanks for reading.
