Summary:

After the success of Season One, the mysterious studio that runs the Shrinking Show commissions a new season with eight new contestants! One again, eight contestants arrive at the set of this secretive reality show, only learning upon arrival that they will be shrunk down bit by bit, taking part in various competitions along the way. When a contestant shrinks to 1/16th of their normal size they are eliminated--usually. Things are a bit more complicated this time around.

Season Two is longer, raunchier, and all-around better than Season One. As it is a new cast of contestants, it is its own story and you do not need to read Season One to understand what is going on, but it wouldn't hurt.

With Marie, you've hinted at other lines of business Betty could expand into, and then there's Andy, Hailey and Carla.

First to be eliminated? I'd say Dale. He's made himself less popular than Paul. And winner? I'm going to call Marie.

Wham! Tom comes back, and something happens that I did not expect.

@TomSpeedy: It's just that site. For other stories I like, check out my favourites, and use the Wayback Machine to find Carrie's Science Project.



Author's Response:

Yes indeed, Tom is back for a visit.

Paul just keeps on sinking. I can see him breaking eventually.

And we now have a threesome, and one where the man is in the middle sizewise. This is another unusual sexual adventure.



Author's Response:

It's always fun to do something different with the size configurations in sex scenes like this! And yes, Paul is not doing well.

Paul is going to be a changed man after this, I bet.

And I don't think Andy will want to grow after this. I can see him volunteering to be Carla's pet permanently.

As for the lack of reviewers, everything you mentioned is right, but I'd like to add one more thing: there's no moral dilemmas or philosophical and social issues to debate in this story. That's how The Titan Empire series got over 3000 reviews (Exile alone broke 1000) - a few people wrote multiple reviews per chapter arguing about the issues the stories present.



Author's Response:

Yeah, this whole show has put Paul into a situation that he never thought he would be in, and it's causing him to see things in a new way. And yes, Andy is just nutty enough that he might want something like that.

You are correct when you said that there are no moral dilemmas or debates in the Shrinking Show. Which is kind of funny, because a lot of my other work (not so much stuff that winds up here) tends to have a bit of social commentary to it. But I knew it even as I was writing it--the Shrinking Show is just a bunch of kinky fun. There is conflict, but it is all interpersonal stuff, character dramas. The only way in which the Shrinking Show can be thought about seriously is in the way that it is a character study; other than that, it is pretty much a vehicle to produce porn scenes--and in my opinion they are that much more interesting when the characters are developed. Even the plot of the Shrinking Show is very thin when you look at it, to be honest, though this season sets in motion many things that would make the plot of further seasons more complex. (not giving anything away yet!)

Summary:

A young woman, prosecuted for a crime she didn’t commit, is placed in the hands of her titanic best friend to learn a few lessons she didn’t earn but most certainly will never forget.

Once again you've made me feel sympathy for Nathaniel. His fear is a pretty reasonable thing to have, though once again he went overboard in his actions.

Alexandra is not as broken as I thought she'd be. She's still generally functional, though if she needs to run away, then she clearly has some issues to sort out (as she should).



Author's Response:

Thanks for reviewing. I had hoped that readers could, if not condone Nathaniel's actions, see where he's coming from. Lexi's in a state now where she just needs plenty of time to be alone.

Holy fuck on a stick.

You've really done it.



Author's Response:

Thanks!

I've been waiting for this for awhile now, and now we get to see something else I've been waiting for: how they react to this news.



Author's Response:

We do indeed. That'll be what the final chapters address in full.

Reviewer: Ancient Relic Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: October 02 2014 Title: Chapter 10: Monster

This is beautifully heartbreaking. I feel sorry for Nathaniel now, now that he was violently orphaned at ten years old. However, his wrath is misaimed: he's attacking the one who didn't know what was happening, and turned against it immediately.

I agree with everyone else: Alexandra showed herself to be a strong one by running away and telling Aegis.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading! I had hoped this chapter would, at least, make people see Nathaniel as less single-minded villain and more just violently misguided.

Date: September 07 2014 Title: Chapter 7: Kismet

This is a heartwarming chapter, and when we get back to the present, their interaction will be much more emotionally powerful.

@AdamX: Most of this site is porn, but sometimes people decide to submit fine literature here. It's the reason I haven't left entirely.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reviewing! The next chapter in particular showing their next interaction will hopefully do just that.

Reviewer: Ancient Relic Signed starstarstarstarhalf-star
Date: July 19 2014 Title: Chapter 2: Address

This would be a scary situation to be in, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it hurt Alexandra's opinion of Omegas. Maybe even instilled some apprehension.



Author's Response:

It's probably fair to say she's not going to be quite as comfortable around Omegas as she once was.

Date: July 12 2014 Title: Chapter 1: Disorientation

Good premise. It shows a side of Ackbar's world that needs to be explored. Let's see what you do with it.



Author's Response:

I'll do my best!

Damn, Nathaniel is a bitter one. Ending with a veiled order to commit suicide by overdose topped it off nicely.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading/reviewing!

This has the potential to become a great story. Harvey's abuse set things up nicely for the emotional payoff at the end, when Anna got him arrested. Now Linda's in Harvey's old spot, as a puppet of Anna, I'm guessing.

Instead of starting each section with (Location), describe the location. It looks unfinished, like a placeholder.

You succeeded in moving the plot forward, though. Much conflict can come out of the conversation at the end.

Summary:

Starting near the end of Act 1, Act 2.5 tells the story of Gabriella and Alice as they come to question their loyalities to the Society. The Swords' corruption is thrust into their faces and their long suspicions are proven true. But with one of them crippled in a way neither could ever imagine, and with a revelation that casts suspicion on everyone, can they survive only by trusting themselves?

 

Note: Read Act 2 first as spoilers await otherwise.

First Julia comes back, and now this. It's a good time for me. Now let's see what happens to Gabby, and Alice too, it seems.



Author's Response:

I need to read that, but just don't have the time...

 

Also a bit of spoliers but Gabby winds up with Sanders and the rest while Alice does a big damn hero moment on Aviel.

@Nostory: A 44 foot Sarah would explain the Giant tag.

Reviewer: Ancient Relic Signed
Date: May 01 2015 Title: Chapter 5: Possible Ending 4

It's been a fun read, and it's good to hear that this might continue. Here's my ideas:

Possible Ending 1: What happens when the three of them try on the panties, and what becomes of Mark?

Possible Ending 2: What does Sarah do with Mark, and what ultimately happens to him? Putting him in her panties while she walks around would be nice.

Possible Ending 3: What does Kacey do with Mark and Sarah, and what ultimately happens to the three?

Possible Ending 4: What do the three do to Mark and Sarah? And to each other?

Possible Ending 5: Make Sarah even taller than before, 44 or 88 feet tall.

Plus everything you've come up with.

And in all of them, show us what ultimately happens to everyone involved, and how reality has been altered.

Reviewer: Ancient Relic Signed
Date: April 29 2015 Title: Chapter 2: Possible Ending 1

I like this. It's fun, erotic and gentle, and this chapter is more of a beginning than an end. With Mark shrunk and two more women involved, there is definitely somewhere for this story to go.

Summary:

A supposedly easy burglarly into a high end estate yields much more than pilfered loot

Good story, all around. I really like the ending. Who would want to get their freedom and screw nine literal goddesses on a regular basis?

Author's Response:

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, that would be a tough gig!

Summary:

A brother, haunted by the years of shrunken captivity he spent beneath his younger sister’s foot, struggles to confront his demons and, ultimately, the demented girl who stole his humanity.

So that's the big problem they had to cover up in Shrink Act Files. Delicious way to set up the next story. The best thing about this story was your ability to write people with major issues, and the most whacked of the bunch is now huge.

“No offense, but I don’t even trust you at that size not to get into trouble. Do I look like an idiot to you?” Prophetic, though I don't think Claire expected trouble on this scale. I didn't think Carly would grow twice.

I think we've taken a step toward Techilogic's founding. The MRD may be gone, but they know how that it works and how to build another one, maybe even a smaller one. For now, they obviously need to get Carly under control, but after that, they can start founding a corporation and gathering customers and supporters, some in very high places. Unless founding Techilogic is a part of how they subdue Carly.



Author's Response:

Yep, this is what TSAF was referring to. While I won't talk about it just yet, this story indeed depicts some of the seedlings that eventually grow into Techilogic.
