Bio:

I guess I consider myself an amature writer, particularly of giantess fetish material, since that seems to be the only thing I can consistently keep writing about. Everything else I try and write about ends up being put on the back burner. So I guess it's a damn good thing that this website exists.


The only qualifications I have as a writer are that I read a lot, I watch movies, and I've got a surprising amount of free time on my hands. People say that I'm good at it. I hope that I am, I want to be good. My stories, however, put character and plot development before anything else. If you've come looking to get off on some discriptive erotica, then I'm afraid my stories aren't for you. There are a slew of other authors on this site who do that so much better than I, such as Jacksmith and slavetowomen. I enjoy putting fetish material into my stories, but that's not at all the main purpose of them.


I like to explore the relationship between giant, powerful women, and smaller men. Show you things from the tiny's perspective, have the little man and the giantess engage in a little philosophy over power, and have the giantess see her smaller companions as equals maybe. It depends on what kind of story I'm writing, but I like to make things a little bit deeper than the whole "big woman seductively smash tiny things!". If you want to read giantess stories that focus more on plot and characters, then I'm happy to be of service.

Summary:

Alvin Summers, seventeen going on eighteen has enough on his plate. Bullies at home and in school, a social life as alive as a fossil and under immense pressure to get to a good college, these don't even come close to the biggest one of all.

 Maybe things will get better, maybe he'll rise up. If it does, the path ahead is fraught with danger and he'll need to be at his best to fend off whatever threats may come his way. 

A story set in the Interiszables Universe created by vgiv.

Date: October 31 2014 Title: Chapter 7: Payback's A Cassie

I feel very envious of Alvin right now. Standing on a table amidst three divine giantesses, and they know he's a good person and not a creep because Cassie testifies to it. He might as well try the lottery while he's at it.

Another good chapter. Satisfying and setting the stage for some interesting consequences, whether for Alvin or Wendy. And the foot scene was not bad. If it's your first time then it's smart to be brief like you did.



Author's Response:

  I'm kind of envious of Ben but that might be due to the fact that he is the best friend of that world's only giantess and she happens to be a hot busty blonde! 

I don't really like foot scenes but next chapter will feature more feet, hoping it'll go down well with the readers since its a subfetish I've never really warmed up to, I would prefer the giantess to use her breasts or butt than her feet.

Date: September 21 2014 Title: Chapter 4: Run Alvin, Run!

This chapter did a great job of showing what Alvin must endure on a day to day basis. I'll admit, if I was Cassie I'd be more concerned that a little man was tied up and gagged rather than nail him as a pervert. But I also understand she was too angry to think straight so it's not really a problem for me. Plus Alvin shouldn't of peeked. I know the temptation was great but I doubt it could be worth your life.

As for Cassie, I'm hoping I'll like her. I don't know if Wendy has any redeeming qualities but Cassie seems pretty cool, just in a temporary bad mood.

And finally I read your comment with chlorez. I also always put myself in the main character's shoes. Despite what I wrote about in my last story I am extremely against suicide. Still, if I was Alvin, my first idea of getting good with Cassie would have been to break down crying and then tell her she'd be doing my a favor if she crushed me. Overly dramatic? Definitely. But would it have made her pause and think twice? Possibly.

Anyway I'm loving this story so much and it's only been three chapters. Great work.



Author's Response:

I don't think he was at fault for looking but I don't agree with him not averting his gaze. You'll have to wait and see what I have planned for Wendy's relationship with Alvin. Glad you like Cassie, I put a lot of thought into her. 

I actually assumed you battled suicidal thoughts in your last story and bullying for your first, the latter because it was so engaging that you drew from real life. That could work, Cassie doesn't seem to be a sadistic girl but that might saying too much already....or is it?

 

Thanks for the compliments, hope you enjoy the next chapter.

Yay! I get a cookie for watching too many Disney movies!

No but I'm glad you won't go along with what I say. I enjoy being surprised in stories and I really am looking forward to what you have instore for this one, I can tell it'll be great. You have some well set up characters here. Katharine seems like a nice enough girl even if she and Alvin aren't very close. And Cassie has peaked my interest. Is she really as bad as Alvin claims? Or is that only a school rumor and she's instead extremely nice and gentle?

And of couse I respect Alvin, this chapter only enforced that. He takes shit from his sister and her friends but digs deep and endures through it all. I don't expect him to fight back, they're Amazon's, how can you fight against them? He tries his best to survive and escape and, when he can't, he takes his beatings and moves on (at least that's what it sounded like when he talked about that bruise on his arm in the first chapter).

My only issue is Katharine cassually picking him up. If they were close friends then I would be fine with it. But you described them as friendly with each other but not close friends. I just feel that she should show a little respect and consideration for his smaller size and ask him if he would mind being picked up. I mean, if she's going to be in a group for Women's Rights then she would have to practice what she preaches and treat him as more of an equal. But that's just nitpicking.

All in all it's only been two chapters and I'm already hooked. Great work.



Author's Response:

Rumours are well....a mixture of fact and fiction in unequal volumes so it's very difficult to sift out the truth from the hearsay. 

He can't fight back, he lacks specialised training to do so and even if he did, anything more than one Amazon would be near impossible. Lets not even bring Titans in, can you defeat a being so large you're the size of her finger? I wouldn't say he takes the beating rather than Wendy simply giving it to him.

Katharine well....she's young. Her journey has yet to begin and I'll let vgiv deal with that. 

Glad to see you're hooked. Hope the rest of the story is as good!

Date: September 12 2014 Title: Chapter 2: Early Morning

I can tell from the first chapter alone this is going to be a roller coster of a story. One of those stories that makes you feel all sorts of emotions. Already I feel bad for Alvin for his situation but at the same time respect for being able to endure through it all.

Patricia is interesting in the fact that she's not a Cinderalla step mother. When I first read that Alvin had to do chores for his step mother and sister I thought "Ok thats interesting. I haven't read a good Cinderalla giantess story before. Let's see where this goes." But rather than act all cruel she's more detached and doesn't pay much mind to him. This makes her stand out more since she's not something I expected.

And finally Wendy. I hope she's not the main antagonist. I love it when sibblings come together more than when they are at odds against each other. I am not going to tell you how to write this. You are the author and the story is yours to command. But for now I'm hoping she's one day open her eyes up and see what it is she's been doing to Alvin. This is just me but I see it where it's this big emotional moment where Alvin is broken down and crying and she's just standing there like "What have I done?"

I don't know, I just think if you have to live with an 8ft tall Amazon who knows how to wrestle then you're better off befriending her than being at odds with her.

All in all I really want to read more of this story. I don't really have any constructive critisism to offer (since I saw nothing wrong at all) but I'll try to think of something helpful as the story progresses. All I can think of now is: this is your story. No matter what I say, write it the way you want it to be.



Author's Response:

Thanks, vgiv apparently believed he kind of a wimp in earlier drafts and its good to see that he can earn your respect after rewriting it. 

You're the first person to pick up on the Cinderella-like part of it all and this story in its earliest incarnation was based off it although I'm not sure if it'll stay that way. Give yourself a cookie for catching it.

You're always welcome to suggest ideas but I may not use them although I'll listen. 

Sometimes the choice to be friends doesn't always lie with you, it's two ways. 

 

Thanks for reviewing, I hope you enjoy the ride!

Do a lot of people a huge favor and keep writing this story. Unfortunately it's too late for me to read anymore beyond the second chapter. But I'm really loving this, so much. 

I'm really into fantasy genre, I'm in the middle of reading The Wheel Of Time series right now. You pull it off so well it's incredible. You have just the right blend of story telling an eroticism, something I can't pull off. The scenes with the foot action and the mouth play are awesome, and I hope there is a lot more of Thalana's feet.

But at the same time you have a world that is really well established and in depth characters. All in all keep this story going. I can't wait to finish it.



Author's Response:

Thank you for reading, Darien! I tend to take a bit long to write my chapters, but I'm definitely still writing! I personally don't know if what I'm writing actual makes for good erotica, but I always do try to make my stories entertaining, at least. I'm glad it worked out for you! xD I'm in the middle of writing a new chapter, and will most likely have it posted within the week. Please look forward to it!

I really enjoyed this one. Especially the description of Sam in Mandy's cleavage. You should make a sequel where Mandy has enslaved a bunch of people and makes them worship her all over, feet, ass, breasts, etc.



Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed the story. I sort of already have a sequel written. The intention with this story was to hit a series of Disney and Nickelodeon shows, so it kind of turns into a crossover thing where in each chapter someone steals the shrink ray from its previous owner and then shrinks people on their own show. Next is Teddy from Good Luck Charlie getting a hold of the ray and shrinking her family. When I post that I'll probably rename the story "Nick/Disney Shrink Story" or something like that.

I have the feeling that this is a story that's right up my alley. By all means, please write more

Summary:

When the GiantessWorld community attends one school together where your size reflects your current grade percentage in whatever classroom you're in, naturally things wind up being one big festival of fetish fun between classes . . . especially considering the existence of the little black cards, known as "death cards", that act essentially as extra lives.

 

This is a community story- You guys can add yourselves, suggest chapter material, or simply request something you think I should write. Here's a few basic ground rules for how this works, should you want something to happen: 

1. I won't accept suggestions unless you offer yourself as a student. Name, appearance, personality, and anything you are/aren't up for, in case I need background extras in other people's requests. You don't have to be honest about your appearance, and honestly I expect a fake name- just give me a real person's name and we're all good XD

2. You're normal size outside classrooms/the gym, and you will shrink (or sometimes grow, if you're a special little extra credit student) to reflect your grade percentage. For example, if you have 10 points in the class out of 100, you'll be a tenth your normal size, etc. 

3. Black "death cards" shrink/grow with their holder, and getting killed burns up the card and teleports you to the front office. The office will give extra cards to students they feel would want/need them, and sometimes teachers distribute them if they want to kill as punishment. Dying without a card is permanent, but let's not discuss that for now. 

4. Class of Giantess is a very weird private college. We're all adults here, unless you specifically request to not be.

5. Class of Giantess gives no fucks. The teachers can flunk you into the ground if you don't do the work or particularly suck at it.

This is definitely a creative idea you have going. I haven't read anything yet, but I expect to be definitely impressed, mainly on the grounds of you being able to pull of a project like this. I'd love to include myself, but I'm afraid you've got a plethora of characters already, and too many tends to crowd up the story and take time away from other tinies. Plus I can't imagine what the hoops you'd have to jump through in order to comply with everyone's requests. All the same I wish you the best of luck with your project.

So this is the commission I posted earlier on my actually commission's collection, but I realized that there's going to be a few chapters, so why not make it its own story? Might be easier.

I'm almost angry that it ended where it did, only because I wanted so badly to see what happens next. I wish I discovered this story after you had written the last chapter because I feel like I could binge read the whole thing right now. 

As always I love the characters, I love how real they feel and read, I love the emotion you convey, and I love the questions you ask when detailing Tanner's big character vs his small stature. Is it truly better to live an independent life when you know you're inviting in all kinds of abuse and potential pain? It's a good question to ask. 

As always I can't wait for the next installment. After all of this torment is finally done I think Tanner deserves a kinky scene with Gail just so that he can experience some love to go with all the domination.

Reviewer: Darien Fawkes Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: November 05 2020 Title: Chapter 34: Dignity

Tanner's developed a lot over the course of this story. All of the characters have in their own ways. Even if it's ending sooner than I wanted (I was hoping to get one more kinky scene with him and Gail, but don't suit your story just for my needs alone, I'll just write a kinky fanfic), you've succeeded in telling a story where likeable characters really grow into some admirable people. That's all anyone can really ask for from a good story. All that's left to do is wait for you to bring is on home....... then write a few kinky fanfics about the characters...... (take it as a compliment. you know you've written a great story when it's got kinky fanfic spinoffs)

Reviewer: Darien Fawkes Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: March 25 2020 Title: Chapter 1: Date Night

I didn't get an update that you've added a chapter so I've only just read it now. Wow. that was some intense emotion, made even better by the back story at the end. You use those little nuggets of the past very well. You don't over use them, so when we do read them, those little peaks into what makes this family tick hit that much harder. Don't let anyone tell you you're not a good author. 

As per usual the portrayals of everyone are great. Huge respect for Tanner for standing up to Ivory. If I knew Tanner in real life I'd love to be his friend. He's the kind of shrunken guy I'd want to be. The one strong enough to keep trying to live in a world that outgrew him. Even if he didn't succeed, the fact that he hasn't taken his own life is a testament to his strength.

I can't wait to see Ivory and Ingrid clash over what just happened. No way that isn't going to happen, what with the evidence left lying in a wreck on the floor. I like the dynamic. Both love Tanner and want him to be safe. Ivory wants to treat him as a glass ornament. Ingrid wants to treat him like a person. Gail is still around outside, I think. She might be there to comfort him at this time. I'm not sure.

I hope you don't mind long comments my guy. Understand it's one of the greatest compliments I can pay you. When I read a story like this. A story that prioritizes loveable characters and a great protagonist, over senseless festish material, I can't help but go on about it. It makes me think. Makes me imagine what I'd do in these scenarios. Makes me think what would happen in What If scenarios. It brings out the best in my imagination. And that is a gift. Keep writing dude. 

Though truthfully I won't say no to some good fetish material. If ever you want to add more of that, be my guest.



Author's Response:

Thanks, I appreciate the long reviews. Even though there's so much I'd do differently in retrospect I don't think I hit my stride with this story until around the halfway point where Tanner stays with Blake and Gail.  Even so, I tried to be very deliberate with this story and am satisfied with how far I've come with the first long term story I've written in a long time.

The flashbacks were mainly inspired from ThomThumb's  "The Girl Who Grew"  where the story later shifted to other character's viewpoints.  I considered making the story from Tanner's perspective only, but since the story was as much about the family's dynamic as a whole, I found the 3rd POV better with the occasional first person glimpses of the thoughts of the main trifecta.

Tanner has been a surprisingly easy main character to write and I've liked conveying the extent of everything he has to deal with. At the crux of it all, he can't accept being so small. Despite trying to remain positive, joke about it sometimes, and his appreciation for everything done for him he's constantly bombarded with reminders of his limitations and is fearful where that will leave him in life.

Reviewer: Darien Fawkes Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: February 03 2020 Title: Chapter 30: Size Matters

I meant to write a review of this a long time ago, so I apologize for forgetting, but it still needed to be commended so here I am. This story has so much about it that I love it's amazing. The characters are so real and relateable. the dialogue between them all is better written and more natural sounding that some TV shows and movies that I've seen. The scene with Ingrid finally taking down Marcelle was like the release of a long pent up breath, a long time coming and satisfying to the extreme. Now that you're setting the stage for Gail and Tanner to maybe become a thing, I'm kind of into where it's going. They're really nice together and their conversations are fun to read about, how they philosophise size difference and stuff. That alone is an enormous compliment to your writing. When you can just write a conversation and I'm entertained by it, and the thought process behind it.

I know you just had a conversation with Gail thinking about other people being small but I'd love to read something about Gail talking about what it would be like if she were a giant in a world of tiny people. Maybe have the mood turn all sexual again and it may lead to something between her and Tanner?

That's just a suggestion. I don't ever want to tell you how to write your own story, because I can't ever do someone else's work better than they can. Go with whatever you want to do, and it'll come out as the best version of your work. I just wanted you to know how much I've enjoyed it. Please keep doing what you're doing, and I look forward to the next chapter, and whatever comes next for Tanner, Ingrid, Blake, and Gail.



Author's Response:

Thanks a lot for that. Looking back to when I posted the first chapter in 2017 there's so much I can think back on and would probably write A LOT differently in hindsight. Marcelle while I enjoyed writing her, I did want to send off to the sunset after receiving her comeuppance. Gail and Tanner's dynamic has also been very fun to write since they can bounce off each other with similar grievances.

So I've just finished binge reading your story, and I can't say enough about how how much I love it. You do the one thing that I love seeing on this site, and have been trying to do in all of my own stories. You focus on character development and plot over fetish material, while still sprinkling it in at just the right moments. And what's even better, you get the reader to empathise with the main character by having them see the world from his perspective. I love that most of all. I love writing about either giant women interacting with normal men, or regular women interacting with shrunken men, and having the women eventually come to see the men as respected equals instead of toys to play with. Not to mention so many of the characters are loveable for different reasons. Tanner is the strong one who takes all of life's difficulties in stride like a boss. Ingrid is the amazing sister who cares deeply for him and wants to protect him, and Blake is the loveable best friend who treats the shrunken man like a normal person (most of the time). I love seeing them interact, I love the emotion between them all, and I honestly cannot wait to see what happens when Ingrid and Tanner come face to face again.

I've now added this story to my favorites list, and will be checking for updates daily. And, even though I really hate asking this, if stories like this are some that you enjoy reading about, I'd like to invite you to check out my two completed stories: A New Perspective, and Whose Really the Bigger Person Here. In those stories I've tried to tackle similar themes. You've done a better job of it, in my opinion, though. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing. Cause it's great.



Author's Response:

Thanks for the well thought out review, I'm almost having a hard time believing I'm coming up on a year since I posted the first chapter. Grand scheme of things I think we're around the halfway mark. You and I both share the same viewpoint in regards to story telling on this site. Whether it's short piece, novel-esque, series of vignettes, etc. A story first and foremost needs to be a freaking story. That's one of the peeves that'll almost instantly tune me away from a story, when I get the sense that it's something that's haphazardly thrown together with little thought. Some of my favorite writers on the site have managed to blend story with erotica, such as Cayce, Jacksmith, etc.

With that minor tangent over I'm glad you appreciate how the characters are written. Quite a few of them evolved in ways I didn't have outlined in there initial conception and characters like Abigail or Marcelle were not in my initial thoughts either.

From the start though I was certain I didn't want the story to come off as mean spirited in the sense that everyone is out to devalue Tanner's life and treat him as a toy like you mentioned. While there is a niche for that and I enjoy it sometimes, a lot of times it simplifies characters too much into being one-note jackasses.  As noted in a previous chapter a major theme was Tanner trying to cope with living his life at his size and the people around him learning how to deal with his size as well. 

The next chapter will wrap up Tanner's arc with Blake's family. After that Ingrid and Tanner's first interaction will be coming very soon, where both parties have a lot to get off their chests to say the least. Stay tuned, thanks again for reading.

That was a pretty satisfying chapter. My only complaint is that I think the big blow out between the two of them was too short. You know how to write convincing emotional dialouge between characters, so I was hoping that would go on a little longer. Just to make sure both Tanner and Ingrid were able to communicate everything they had been mulling over the past few days. I can't even say that's a complaint though.

Once again the relationship between the brother and sister is my favorite aspect of this story. It's very real, so congratulate yourself on pulling that off. Now all that I need to see is for Marcelle to be delt with. Preferably by Ingrid, who is capable of physically throwing her out of the house (or Blake, since she's even bigger). However, I'm sure whatever you have planned for that situation will be more than adequate for the story, so I leave all of that in your hands. I look forward to seeing this continued.

Thanks for the comment, I admit to that being shortcoming (no pun intended) I try to juggle.  I don't like feeling as if I'm padding at a story with filler; I typically try to stop once I think a message has been properly conveyed. However it's also tricky when I'm typing out the chapter in a word document and it seems longer to me because I'm the one writing it, plus the formatting of the document, etc. Then it doesn't always translate when I paste it here for posting and for other readers who share the same opinion as you do.
I'll keep it in mind for the next major hallmark coming soon, which as you referenced will be trying to shut down Marcelle. I've written some rough drafts on what will occur now that it's closer on the horizon I'll work out the finer details with what you said in mind.
