Bio:

Generally fascinated by giantess stories, especially those stories involving gentle giantesses, growing women, and slow growth/shrinking.  Excited to find out there are sites where such stories are written in elaborate detail, especially on this site, giantesscity and on the mg-sg wiki.


Also have a taste for combining gts elements with the harem genre in the world of anime/manga.  It's basically a weakness of mine.  I know that plenty of people roll their eyes at the harem genre, given how overplayed it's become to the point of being rather cliche these days.  Having said that, I'm something of a sucker for it.  In fact, in most of my writings, chances are good that there'll be harem elements in them, especially if the word "harem" is in the title (obviously).  So just bear that in mind if you decide to peruse my works.

Really glad that you're continuing this story.  For the time you were away from it I figured it was on permanent hiatus.  I'm happy to see that I was wrong.  Really digging the chemistry between Nell and Daniel, as well as the detail and drama that goes into each growth spurt.  Puts me on the edge with anticipation for the next one coming.  Hoping to read more soon.  Keep up the good work!

Really enjoy this story.  One of my favorites on this entire website.  I hope to one day see part 2 and if it'll be Kimberly going through a slow growth giantess phase.  That would be interesting to see given her character and how society would react to someone changing in the opposite direction.  Hope you'll show it (or at the very least a tempting preview) sometime soon.  Again, very entertaining read from start to finish.

Summary:

A curse placed on a princess causes her to steadily grow. However, when a dark threat looms over the land, her large burden may be the kingdom's only chance for salvation.

One of my favorite stories on this website.  Read it once over years back and found it very enjoyable.  Loved the protective streak the giantess heroine always has for her family and loved ones all throughout the story, no matter how much bigger she became over the course of the tale.  Just felt like letting you know how good I think this story is.

Can't say I liked how the story ended.  Though it certainly took a spin in a new direction.  Curious if you'll be making a sequel to this particular story or start on something totally new.  I'm a little sad that Nick met the end that he did, even if there was a degree of mercy granted to him in his last moments.  And the final chapter does kind of convey Michelle as some power-hungry megalomaniac who intends to recreate the world so that everyone in it - and I mean literally EVERYONE in it - knows their place relative to her.  A big more arrogant than I care for.

Still, you did keep things suspenseful for the majority of the story and while things turned out a bit more glum than I was hoping for, it was an entertaining read on the whole.  Curious as to what you might be bringing out in the near future.  



Author's Response:

Yeah, she may be a power-hungry megalomaniac to some degree, but also I intended this to have an almost tragic note to it, as in she's no longer capable of stopping even herself now.  To some extent, her experiences in the past, and also what she did with Nick, made her this way even if she didn't fully realize what she was getting herself into at the time.  So is she arrogant?  Yes, maybe.  But perhaps in a way that makes you feel bad for her at the same time (at least that's my take on it).

To answer your question, yes I'm hoping to someday write a multi-part sequel to this, set in this new world Michelle's attempting to create.  But I might end up writing stories outside this 'universe' next instead.  Partly depends on how much time I have in the future to write.

And thanks for reading, and providing very interesting feedback :).

I've enjoyed this story on the whole, especially Michelle's back-and-forth displays of cruelty and care for Nick (even though most or all of it is pretty much just an act).  I'm kind of wondering how much Michelle is gonna shrink Nick by the story's end.  

I'm also hoping Nick doesn't meet a completely tragic ending (especially one where he stays in his shrunken state for the rest of his life).  I'd like to think he'd gain a little humility and tell Michelle he's genuinely sorry for how he acted before the experiment.  Either that or he has some kind of epiphany and just tells Michelle he knows that she's just playing him by this point.  Personally, I think Michelle is going a tad overboard with getting vengeance on Nick the more she shrinks him (especially given his mental/emotional state), but that's just an outsider's view on the story.  Don't let my view on things rattle how you go about the plot.

Regardless of how things end, it's been a thoroughly intriguing read on the whole.  Probably one of the best I've read on this site in months.  Looking forward to more soon.



Author's Response:

Thanks!

The way I see it, by this point in the story it's less about Michelle exacting revenge on him and more about Michelle 'experimenting' on him and seeing what she can do to his mind as well as body.

As for the ending, it's a ways off still but you might find it interesting how it plays out (I hope!).

Reviewer: Jim1989 Signed
Date: October 04 2013 Title: Chapter 28: Through the Camera

Things are looking pretty ominous for Nick.  My gut says he's gonna shrink at least one more time for Michelle (maybe go under a foot in height the next time he does).  Also wondering if he'll end up dying by the story's end.  It's pretty plausible that he would willingly end his life if it meant pleasing Michelle with one last increase of height and mass, given his mental state now.  It really boils down to whether Michelle will have it be so or if she'll end things on a less tragic note.  I like to think there's some shred of compassion left in her, even though it seems her dominant side appears to be winning out in general.

Also curious as to who Michelle's sponsors are.  I'm guessing they probably are none too pleased at her broadcasted declaration in the last chapter.  And Michelle herself must have some kind of endgame plan for her to so brazenly declare to everyone what she did.  It'll only be a matter of time (days at the most) before someone influential starts asking questions.  Curious how Michelle will work out this development when it comes.

As always, well-written and inriguing stuff.  Looking forward to the next chapter.



Author's Response:

Thanks, I'll try to get the next chapter posted pretty soon

Reviewer: Jim1989 Signed
Date: September 26 2013 Title: Chapter 27: Michelle's Return

1. Story seems to be nearing its end by the looks of things.  Got a feeling that Nick's probably gonna end up in this state most likely of his own volition, unless Michelle is able (and willing) to return some of his height and intelligence - not all of it, but enough that he shows decent cognitive function and is slightly more physically capable.

2.  Curious as to who Michelle's contacts are (from the previous chapter) and what part they may play in this story.

3.  Like how you showed more of Michelle's inner conflict, both with her reflection on how far she's gone with punishing Nick and the realization of the schism between her compassionate side and her darker side.  Curious as to which side will ultimately win out in this story.

4.  Love the plot twists in this chapter - Nick's defiance, Michelle being brutally honest, Nick's ultimate breakdown, and Michelle's unexpected reflection.  Threw me for a loop.

5.  Wondering how Nick's family and "friends" will react to him staying permanently smaller (from the look of where things are going).

I know this is a lot from a review.  Just felt like getting it all out.  Overall, I liked the way everything seemed to coalesce in this chapter with a sense of a closure coming round the corner.  Great stuff!



Author's Response:

Thanks for the review.  Michelle's inner conflict was something that wasn't really there in the previous draft, but I added it much stronger this time around, so I'm glad you liked it.  And yes, things are definitely coming to a head now after this last chapter.  Hopefully I can post the remaining chapters without too much delay on my end ...

Reviewer: Jim1989 Signed
Date: September 15 2013 Title: Chapter 25: The Closing Door

The size difference between both characters has gotta be pretty extreme by this point.  I'm guessing Nick is around 2 feet tall or less, while Michelle is around 8 feet tall (maybe more).  Maybe you can clarify on what their exact heights are in the next chapter.

I like how you show Michelle is somewhat internally conflicted on what she is doing and not just plain cruel (at least not entirely).  Keeps the reader guessing.  Looking forward to where things are going to go from there.



Author's Response:

Hmm, you're right, I haven't done the best job making their heights clear lately.  She grows only a touch taller each time, with most of the growth being 'horizontal' development instead.  She's "only" about 6'11" now (though, e.g., with her 8" heels on a couple chapters ago she was more like 7'6").  And Nick's about 2'6" after this last chapter.  I'll try to work this organically into the next chapter somehow though.

Thanks -- the internal conflict bit was a last-minute addition I just added, kinda based on reader feedback in part, so we'll see how it plays out from here :).

Reviewer: Jim1989 Signed
Date: September 04 2013 Title: Chapter 23: Michelle's Room (part 2)

I'm kind of torn about this story now.  The writing is very detailed and suspenseful and the plot still has that sense of unpredictability and keeping the reader constantly guessing.  For that reason, I will most likely continue reading this story just to see how everything pans out in the end.

Having said that, I'm kind of sad to see that Nick has now fully given into carnal, animalistic instinct.  I had a feeling that was probably Michelle's endgame, though seeing it happen - and to see that Nick wants it to happen by this point - makes my stomach a bit uneasy.  I'm also curious how far this story is from the conclusion.  From a logical standpoint, Michelle has pretty much gotten all she wants out of Nick (except for maybe a few more inches or even a foot out of him).  He's physically and mentally a small child or toddler by this point, so he's going to put up little or no resistance to Michelle's commands.  

It does seem like Michelle has also taken that darker route like I guessed last time.  I don't know if Michelle might do a last-minute switch in personality at the story's end and have some degree of sympathy for Nick (I'd like that but I won't hold my breath on it).  She could easily kill Nick and probably find a way to cover her tracks so that nobody would ever be able to pin his death onto her (given her level of intelligence).  Then the story would pretty much be over by that point.  

Again, I'm hoping for something not completely depressing for Nick and possibly a bit unexpected at the end; but as always, it's your story and you decide how it ends.  Nick may very well be a slave for the rest of his life and Michelle may become a power-hungry manipulator.  Maybe neither of those things.  Either way, I still intend to keep up with this story, mainly out of great curiosity.

Reviewer: Jim1989 Signed
Date: August 29 2013 Title: Chapter 22: Michelle's Room (part 1)

Nicely written.  I like how you let the reader get inside Michelle's head and see things from her point of view the same as Nick's.  I'm also wondering if Nick is starting to catch on to Michelle's true nature (even with his decreased mental state).  I'm curious if Michelle possibly foreshadowed her endgame objective to Nick - about forever changing him and making him submissive.  It sounded pretty ominous.

A part of me is still rooting for Nick in a way.  It's hard to not feel sorry for him whenever Michelle toys with both his body and his emotional state, though it does make for good moments of tension and drama.  I'm not sure if Michelle is gonna continue her playful (yet manipulative) charade or go a much darker route with how she toys with Nick (possibly do a total 180 in how she acts around him?).  I'm also curious if she's really bringing the principal into her plans or if that was just a bluff to get Nick riled up.

Curious as to what's in store for Nick in the next chapter.  From the tone in Michelle's voice, it doesn't sound like it will be very good for him (especially now that he can't achieve orgasm to ease his growing libido).

Again, good stuff.



Author's Response:

Yeah, most of the story until now was written from Nick's perspective, so it was fun to add Michelle's perspective now too.  And you picked up on everything I was going for in this chapter with Michelle's plans and Colin and stuff -- good to see.  Will post the next chapter probably early next week.

Damn...I was holding out for hope that Alex would swoop in and "save the day" from Jack's point of view, but he's looking pretty screwed right now. Wondering how long he's gonna be imprisoned this time around and whether or not Caitlin is a woman of her word on how she'll treat him. In either case, I figure that there's going to be plenty of femdom stuff going on between her and Jack; the only difference is whether it'll be mostly restrained or if it'll get pretty damn tense to the point of severe physical trauma on Jack's part. Really good sense of dramatic angst between Alex and Caitlin in this chapter, and the attention to detail regarding Jack's imprisonment is well done in this chapter.

Dunno if you'll have a follow-up chapter in the near future after this one or not, but in any case I was surprised to see this story pick up again. Nice to see that you still have the drive to see this thing through for however long you're dedicated to this story.

Glad that this story is continuing.  Surprising revelation about the inhaler, and curious as to what this means regarding future character development on Caitlin's part.  Also curious about the situation with Alex's sister and whether that side story will be introduced into the plot.  All over you manage to keep things in a evolving state of curiosity.  Hoping Penny will reappear within the next few chapters.  Keep up the good work!



Author's Response:

Alex's sister is not integral to the plot by any means, but she may well appear.

Hopefully the story still manages to be interesting and hold attention. At times it feels a bit like I'm going into excruciatingly introspective detail about things and it drags, but I'm always trying to have something new, or some kind of info or a development each chapter that adds to the overall plot. Things are gradually being unveiled and revealed and it all helps keep Jack's perspective in a state of evolution - he doesn't know how the others think or truly act but as time goes on, that picture becomes more complete. It can be tricky to write but I think it's a lot more engaging than having an omnipotent narrator who says things like 'Alex wanted to save Jack but was panicking' or 'Penny wanted to kiss him very badly' - the eventual reveal of these feelings and the intent behind certain actions can be more satisfying, and closer to the human experience itself.

Date: May 17 2016 Title: Chapter 17: Conniption

Interesting to see Caitlin in a temporary state of weakness.  She still comes off as a stone cold bitch in general, but not such a cardboard cutout type of villain now.  I'm sure the next chapter is going to be hell on earth for Jack.  

Kind of wondering for how long Jack is going to end up in captivity.  This basically has to end at some point for him.  Either he dies in Caitlin's clutches, is released, escapes (unlikely I know), or maybe becomes brainwashed into staying Caitlin's boytoy forever.  Those seem the most logical conclusions to his conundrum, but maybe you have something altogether different planned.  

Also wondering if Penny might make an appearance soon in coming chapters.  Her sympathetic nature serves as a nice counterweight to Caitlin's malice.  It would kind of be a shame for her to simply be out of the story altogether.  That being said, the story is intriguing in its own way (if a bit sadistic at times).  Looking forward to more.



Author's Response:

Deffo stone cold. It's not her fault though, it's the just way she's... written (Jessica Rabbit style).

The answers to your questions may well have been answered in the next chapters, suffice it to say, your thoughts are/were very much along the right track.

Date: August 12 2015 Title: Chapter 13: Inundation

And the suspension continues!  I'm glad to see that there is at least one sympathetic soul in the group, maybe two if you consider Hannah (overly playful but not sadistic).  Wondering how long poor Jack is going to be held prisoner.  Eventually someone is going to be concerned (family or the few friends he has in this world) and file a missing persons report or something.  Really like the variety you have going on in the group: the power-hungry leader (Caitlin), the sadist (Amber), the semi-ditzy party girl (Hannah), and the compassionate voice of reason (Alex).

Side note on Caitlin:  Was that night she threw the tantrum and then broke down emotionally just a one-time deal?  I couldn't tell if she had some kind of potential love-hate relationship for Jack or slight tsundere characteristics towards him, or if that all was just a momentary break from her overall character of the domineering type she comes off as in general.  Wondering how she'll come off from here on out.

Tantalizing stuff overall, both among the variuos Alphas and the direction of the story in general.  Looking forward to more!



Author's Response:

Thank you for the in-depth review, it's really nice to read other peoples' analyses of what's going on, and for the most part your experiences of reading this story have matched my intentions when writing it.

It's deliberately not clear how or why Caitlin has selected Jack to be subjected to this kind of treatment, she has previous with at least one Beta boy that was presumably serious, and she has explained some of her reasoning - a lot of what you have mentioned may turn out to be true, it's quite complex and will ultimately reveal itself down the line. I wasn't familiar with tsundere as a concept but thank you for drawing my attention to it; now I know what it is I've definitely seen it used prominently in manga I've read, and there are elements of GH-X2 that could be considered very similar.

PS: Whilst Alex comes across in this chapter as the 'compassionate voice of reason', it's more a by-product of seeing the worst side of Caitlin and Amber, one that she may not have seen before. She's not a Beta-friendly person, by-and-large, and didn't seem to have a problem crushing his pen, or carrying him for Caitlin to antagonise behind closed doors, but when confronted with reality of a small, powerless boy being held captive, stripped and abused in the name of 'fun' for her Alpha buddies, she felt uncomfortable being complicit with it. This chapter was quite an eye-opening one for her, as in many ways this was the first time she's been made aware of how serious the implications of being a helpless Beta can be, and the guilt and confusion was too much to take.

Nice mix of erotica with semi-torture.  Really gives some heavy meaning to the term "boy toy" in this chapter.  Glad to see an update.  Also hoping to see some more interaction from other Alpha girls in future chapters.  Caitlin is entertaining in her own way, but I like more variety when it presents itself.  Good stuff overall.  Keep at it!



Author's Response:

The story is already planned out, but I am intrigued by your wish to see the other Alpha girls interact with Jack - what specifically do you like about their 'variety'?

PS: He is totally a boy toy - I particularly like the words 'toy' and 'play' in this kind of scenario, I guess it implies helplessness and when used as a euphemism for sexual antics it just feels naughty, like Caitlin is 'toying' with him by giving this faux-innocent pretense for her mischievous desires.

Author's Response:

I've tried to set the scene to show that the Alphas don't really interact with the Betas on the same level - they view them as second-class citizens with little to offer. Like in life, there are a few more tolerant and sympathetic Alphas but they won't be too public about it, as they themselves will become ostracised from mainstream Alpha society.

Take it as a given that pretty much every Alpha either ignores or bullies people like Jack, so mean-spirited is the norm.
