I like those day to day lives of shrunken or little people and the challenges they face and the good moments.

I like this story so far. It has a very realistic feel to it. Too many writers forget about that. These shrunken men have sisters, mothers, grandmothers, girlfriends, etc. The women have fathers, brothers, sons, boyfriends, etc. It's unrealistic that those people would torture their. loved ones just because they are suddenly bigger.
I like how you address these feelings between people after such event. The girl that misses her normal size father and normal sized boyfriends, feels realistic.
The worlds normal sized population is cut in half wich make the world more peacefull.
Thanks for putting in the effort what kind of impact such a event could have on our world.

Can't wait. I look forward to this new setting. The outside world. Let's see how that feels like for a shrunken person.

All of these points that you made are valid and show me that some people are thinking while they read rather than just hoping to react.  It is possible to do both with a little age and wisdom as I'm sure you've already come to realize.

@Crocodile. 100% in agreement. About the writing/story style and your views on the type of women, subtle criteria that gives higher pleasure, relationships. I'm glad you think that way. This is exactly what I want when reading stories about shrinking, size difference. Hope in the end that Tim finds that special someone. When you've been through a lot, that price is even more rewarding.

Your story is much better than some other red and blue ribbon stories. I hate the stories Kyra, Bennefits of Immunity and there was another one where the most unrealistic choices where made. But I understand why they have ribbons. There's a lot of effort put in these stories. This site does allow a broad spectrum and a read many extremely interesting stories with pleasure.
I miss the writer "Huz". His stories always had those subtleties and interesting different situations and gratifying end where the shrunken man/boy or woman/girl finds that good woman/girl with those subtle criteria you decribe.

As to thinking a situation through, yes I agree.  The problem with a good idea or scene, or situation, is that many writers don't want to do the work that's required to get from point A to your realistic point C scene.  The person does not just materialize at the next place.. They must walk and encounter things along the way and it is what makes the whole situation believable.  And sometimes (as we all know) the point B becomes even more rewarding than point A and C combined.   That all important point B journey in between.

That is why I appreciate the hard effort and understand why most, promising stories on this site with good set ups and writing are not finished.

Agreed

Thanks for the insight. That is what I also find interesting is what motivates the writer and how and why they view things. Interesting you mentioned this. I also got into an interesting discussion with an 3d artist on DeviantArt when I was commenting on his imaginitive 3d-renders about shrinking and size difference. He also told me that lot's of them where part of the healing process of being born into a lousy family. When I posted some links to good size change story, ''A sitter for the summer'' was his favorite. ''Dr Creep'' is his name on that site.
My upbringing is totally different and life was extremely good, so good(almost never a dull moment), that I can't believe it was real seeing how the quality of life has changed in my area. English is not my first language, so it took some time to answer. ;)

PS. I don't know why but I keep picturing Wendy looking like this.

Smart hiding place. Good hard lesson for Tim. Someone gave him freedom. Time to repay that by learning valuable skills and learning that group some skills. If they could somehow poison their spears and use fire/napalm. This whole process of learning to survive in a very hostile world is going to be interesting. Hope they're ready for a certain someone.

For Wendy this is also a good lesson. The longer he is gone, the more she will learn. What she do with it is up to her. The fact that he wants nothing to do with her will even eventually sink in with a 14 year old girl.
Yes that toughen up part for Tim will be interesting. But even that hard life or death is better than living in a LPGO controlled environment.

Good story. If Tim plays it smart. He can get out of this. If I was betrayed in that manner, it would be all out mental warfare. He has nothing to lose now. Even death is better than this. There are so many tactics he could use and they would all work if he is committed enough and smart enough. But he doesn't seem smart enough because he was surprised that that suit was a trap. He's doomed. ;)

It would be good if the small people eventually set a trap for Sharon and put her on fire and is left severly handicapped with third degree burns. That character doesn't deserve better. She is like Damon Killian from "The Running Man". ;)

The extra creepy part is put in to play for Tim. ;) Wendy, isn't Wendy anymore but a government tool from the moment that toolkit for shrunken people came into play. Trainend and conditioned to think like the governments in our real lifes. Wanting total control over you and dehumanize you as much as possible. This is the point where Wendy also becomes a victim of the dehumanizing process. Now we can see how strong or weak Tim and/or Wendy are.

Good detail of what's developing, crocodile. Your chapters are good. Not lingering too long on the fetish, but on the drama and stress that are developing. Can't wait for the next chapter.

@crocodile

Totally agree with you on every word.

@Crocodile.

I'm interested what the writer thinks too, when he/she writes his/her story. I don't want to write every possible outcome I can think of in my review when the story isn't finished, because I want to see the writers point of view and thoughts and don't want to ruin it for other readers.

Important is that this world is believable if 1% srhinks to 3 inch and the characters point of view are understandable. Also important is how much I can relate with certain choices of the characters.

The anger/emotion it gives is indeed also important as you mentioned, because I see the same type of rotten behaviour, dumb people and overbearing governments in the real world. Telling you that it is for your own good and that they care about you. Betrayal by a friend/family member/loved one is an absolute NO in my world. That is an act I almost never forgive.

It may change, but at this point, I only care about the wellbeing of the characters Tim and Wendy. It occured to me that Tim hasn't done one very important thing yet. But it looks like he's doing it gradually so far.

By the way. Did you deliberately choose the 3 inch height for this story or is that your favorite height/size for every story with shrunken people in it? The age of 14 year old Wendy and not 11 or 17 is probably on purpose.
