Summary: In the not-too-distant future, a drug is invented that induces growth in every organic thing that absorbs it - except human males. This is a story of a man living roughly one hundred years later - when the male gender has become nothing more than a myth, and women stand over 250 feet tall.

I remember reading this story a while back. This was probalby one of the first I read which combined the appeal of gigantic female characters (in relation to the men) with a grand sweeping adventure. One particular aspect of the story that stood out was that the giantess aspect was something that was simply used to tell to story, not something the story was built around. It allowed for incredible investment of what would happen next, which is always the goal.

Another favorite of mine. This review might as well be for all of the Rowena entries. The dialogue between characters is probably the best aspect of this story, including the corny medevial talk. The worst aspect, it ends. Number 2 may be my favorite of the series, the "Empire Strikes Back" of the Rowenas, if you will

I haven't read the whole story so far, but I probably will. I do enjoy the more relaxed, gentle types of stories on this site, so this is exactly within my wheelhouse. Perhaps the best aspect of this particular tale would be your incredibly flamboyant descriptions. While simplicity is a virtue, it is a joy to wade through the thesarus-brick road, painting an accurate picture in my mind what is happening, while also being quite entertaining. 



Author's Response:

That's the cringe-inducing quality to stuff I wrote a couple days ago versus what I'm trying to do today. I preserve it as a record, rather than revising it, in the hope that there is a clear line of demarcation in writing style. If not, well, I have more to work on. But yeah, back in the day, I didn't understand the deleterious effect of far too many adjectives. I have since learned to trust the reader's intelligence.

The Plan by papayoya Rated: R starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 26]
Summary:

Laura is a 22-year-old with strong views on what's wrong with the world and what should be done to fix it. She also has a plan to accomplish her goals: become 1000 feet tall and force everyone to follow her orders.

Becoming a giantess has been Laura's dream ever since she can remember it. So, when some aliens running a scientific experiment decide to, unknwon to her, grant Laura her wishes, she will adapt to her new condition remarkably quickly.

The Plan is Laura's story, the story of how being a mega giantess feels to a determined young woman with world domination aspirations, and how she manages the excitement and challenges that come with her new reality.

Date: March 05 2018 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue

A page turner for sure, with the motivations for many characters laid plain to see. But that is the story's biggest strengths, and a critical weakness. 

Laura's thoughts, goals and dreams are all quite apparent from the start, as is her transition from well-intentioned extremist, to extremist. With that being said, what has been said, does not need to be said again. This, in my opinion, makes the alien perspective unneccessary, and I was quite tempted to skip their parts.

Which is a shame, because they are the most interesting characters in the story. True, almost no giggity-giggity from them, but it is fun to see the interactions between the two scientists. I am particularly interested in the "fail-safe".

I also am interested in a human-driven victory, even in the face of defeat. Perhaps it's my human pride or whatever, but it does get tiring to see people act incredibly stupid, or incredibly idiotic. But, since this story seems to be stretching for a lot longer, I'm still invested in what you have planned.

So far so good. You're excellent in illustrating a scene, and it is quite easy to imagine Lauren among the denizens of the doomed city. Lauren's general character, while not likeable per say, does give her life. I look forward for what you have in store.



Author's Response:

I wanted to thank you for the constructive criticism, letting me know the parts that you like and think that work and the ones that do not do so well. I found myself agreeing with a lot of what you said.

It's true that while Laura is not a plain character, her evolution is kind of predictable. She is certainly not likable. I had not realized (but I do now) that one of the additions to the story I thought would be original (the aliens' dialogue at the end of each chapter) was a bit redundant by the fact that Laura is easy enough to read. I guess I had Kelly (from my previous story Side Effects) in mind when I thought about adding this extra layer of interpretation, but while Laura and Kelly share a lot, I believe Kelly's inner thinking and evolution was better suited for this type of resource. I still think that the aliens work well enough, but it's true that they could have worked better in a different setup.

As for the idiotic response from the population, it is my interpretation on how masses would react if they were suddenly faced with such an awe-inspiring situation as the presence of a 1000-foot-tall young woman that immediately starts acting like she is in charge (and does not seem to mind killing thousands of them). Humans are smart, but masses tend to become less smart the greater the numbers are. It is arguable, in any case.

I hope that you will like what's coming, which will be different from what many readers might have thought at the beginning of the story precisely because of the transition you described so well as "from well-intentioned extremist to extremist". I had not thought on this definition, but it's very fitting, I think.

I hope that you will continue letting me know what you think.

Cheers!

Ah, the Tsundere, a classic. For some it's cliche, for me, the reason it's so common, is because there's always a compelling storyline waiting to be tapped. I've always liked the Hey Arnold! kind of stories where the bane of the character's existence ends up loving them the most.

Admittedly, I'm not a fan of first-person, but that's more of a stylistic preference. It does this story credit, and keeps the pace going. Definitely, if there's going to be a future installment, it would be fun to see things from Meredeth's perspective. 



Author's Response:

Or, as part of their bully/victim relationship, she came to appreciate him after she started bullying him, and it became a post-fact justification for her actions.  She doesn't like him any less, it just developed once she started spending a lot more time around him.

 

I really like the first-person perspective, since it gives the reader an opportunity to put themslves in the protagonist's situation.  If I were to do one from Meredith's perspective, which wouldn't be the first one but a bit down the road, it'd still be first-person as the giantess in the situation.  Then at least readers, whom I presume are mostly in the shrunken man role, can put themslves into the role of her tiny man as she looks down on him.  Honestly I can see that having legs, enough for a story or two at least.

The lone survivor of a horrific Shrinkee massacre is left dealing with the four giantesses responsible for the bloodbath as they compete to become her sole owner.

I'm afraid Molly was my least favorite of the four. With Harper, you have the crazy-obsessive fangirl, Naomi, the blunt punk, and Leah, the domineering ruler-to-be. Molly was simply there. 

Now, she's gotten far more interesting, although the previous two chapters also did Harper favors as well. We see that the harsh dominance these girls force upon not just shrinkees, but other people as well, is the same kind a bully establishes over a social pariah. Attempting to create control over their life which none exists. If Annabelle can successfully alienate the four from their parents, she wins. But, in order to do so, she'll have to open her heart to them, and leave Poppy to the crows.

And boy, what a fun bunch these parents are. Mr. Gates seems to be pretty fun, even when he's asserting control. I'd go as far to call him a henpecked husband. And what a hen, and what a peck she has. I still think the mayor is going to be Anna's biggest threat, but Mrs. Gates is going to run her through the roughshod. 



Author's Response:

Hi Divefiveburners,

I always had big plans for Molly. I'm hoping these two chapters reveals more about who she is and why she has come to be that way. You're also right when talking about the way in which they dominate people. It's explored a bit in chapter 30, but as the story progresses, you'll some more discussion around it.

Based on your comments, I'm curious to see what you thought of the most recent chapter.


Thanks for your thoughts!

This was probably the most unpleasant chapter I had the pleasure of reading. I was just coming off of Grace, a nasty little gremlin, from Deliverance getting her just desserts ... and here comes this monster of a Chapter to really sour the mood.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic chapter, but there better be a reckoning, I better see the God Emperor of Mankind mistake the BSA for some filthy xenos. Dang, I used to like Leah a lot (not in a sense of admiration, but enjoy as a villain the same way I enjoy a Disney villain), but now, I feel for her the same way Anakin feels about sand. What a nasty piece of work. I've speculated before that Anna would have to imprint, to sympathize with with four girls in order to change them, but Leah throws that in the crapper. The passage with "Toe Jam" really twisted in the knife.

Perhaps more seriously, Leah acts out the part of the psychopathic abuser. She actively works to isolate her target of interest, all the while acting obsessive over them. Any attempt to reason with her, and she lies, or tells fantasies so crazy only she believes them.

Don't know how Annabelle's getting out of this one. I guess in the end, her Portuguese blood really does need the power of B R A Z I L to prevail.



Author's Response:

Hahaha, damn Anakin and sand, huh? You must really hate her. But you're right on the money Divediveburners, Leah relies heavily on strategy in regards to how she interacts with Annabelle. Also, you may have noticed it already, but some of the FF's visions for Annabelle's future don't really align with one another's. It should be interesting to see that conversation come up soon. 

Ha and I think she'll need the entire South American continent to take on the BSA.

I thought we were going to Naiomi, but it looks like we're getting the 'final boss' early!

I knew the good governor was going to be a handful, which means to say, he wasn't as much of a shocker as the Gates were. Still, he has lots of dirt on Annabelle, and a mess of a mind to use it to its full potential. He's the perfect overarching villain to this tail, and you portray him to his diabolical potential.

Leah is going to be a tough nut to crack. Annabelle, despite the fact that she was submitting to Molly and Harper, also managed to get them wrapped around her little finger. Leah, however, appears to have a rather healthy relationship with her father, at least, as good as you can get with that man. She's competing with him, this means she'll be alert for any signs of Annabelle's machinations in a way Harper and Molly weren't. She is my favorite of the four, even though she's probably the coldest.

Good chapter, although I felt we got less development out of Leah than we did Molly or Harper. Looks like more character intros than anything, especially with Toe Jam. I'll be waiting on the next chapter with baited breath as always.



Author's Response:

Hey Divediveburners

Yeah I'd always planned on Leah being the penultimate FF--should make sense as to why when you read Naomi's chapter. I'm glad the governor's diabolical-ness is apparent. Though I'm not sure how ready you'll be to see the extent of his grand plans. 

Yup, I put Leah and Naomi towards the end because they're more shrewd when it comes to Annabelle's motivations. They're not completely blinded by Annabelle's cuteness. Leah and her father have a relationship that works for them, but In don't know if a psychologist would label it as "healthy." They do certainly love each other though. 

Hah, your comment about Leah and Toe Jam is super funny to read after the most recent chapter. 

Always great to read your comments, Divediverburners!

Oh boy, it's happening, the imprinting. The usage of nouns was brilliant in your depiction of Annabelle truly losing control, replacing "Harper" with "Goddess". The description of the imprinting incidence, where Harper literally becomes a goddess, reminds me of another story on this site, "We help each other get on" by Greenanon, where the giantess' scent makes the tiny guy lose himself and worship her. It's played in a less frightening context, since the giantess character is actually gentle, but it's fun to compare and contrast these similar scenes. Heck, because those scenes were played with a wholesome perspective, it makes your tale by contrast, all the more harrowing.

Harper was probably going to be the "easiest" for Annabelle to handle, simply because she's obssessed with her the most. The other girls appear to be tempered with a sense of pragmatism that Harper simply doesn't possess, especially Leah. How Annaabelle will confront them one on one will be interesting. I suspect before the end, happy or sad, Poppy will inevitably have her day. You might be heading for a role reversal where Poppy is in control, and Annabelle is the voice of discontent, making Poppy's goddesses "bleed" in a figurative sense, before her eyes.

P.S: Happy secret ending where Annabelle imprints on Oliver and commandeers his fully armed and operational submarine plz.



Author's Response:

Hee hee,

That's really cool that you caught that, Divediveburners. I haven't read the story you're referencing but I'll definitely check it out. Harper most definitely is the most willing to bend to Annabelle's will when it comes to certain things. 

I can't say much about how Annabelle will interact with the most recent giantess in the upcoming chapters because it's still developing, but I will say that it will more than likely surprise you. 

Also I laughed loudly at your proposed happy secret ending. Funnily enough, a lot of people don't see Annabelle + Oliver as a happy ending.

Anyway, thanks for commenting, Divediveburners

This chapter was certainly a game-changer, in that it changed the understanding of the world within the story. Once again, I enjoyed reading this due to exciting twists and advancement of the plot, not necessarily for the giant/giantess action. You've really been adept at evoking strong emotions, whether it's positive or negative towards certain characters. 

SPOILERS

There's a lot that could be discussed and unpacked at the prospect of a foundation to help shrinkees ends up being absolute horror and destruction for those they claim to help. This parallel society of shrinkees is a major reveal, and appears to be the path to salvation for Annabelle. It appears we're going to get backstory on her four tormentors, I don't know if that's going to soften the blow for when Poppy takes over, or if that's setting up a betrayal. I do hope we get some closure on Annabelle's friends, and her crush. I may or may not have a ship going.

It was cathartic to see Annabelle turn the tables on her captors. Quite a Sideous-esque schemer she has become, but only a sith deals in absolutes. I hope there are more moments such as this, but I'm a sucker for triumph after so many chapters of torment and missed opportunities.

An unserious thought, if Annabelle can speak Portuguese, does that mean, in addition to self-regeneration, she has the power of BRAZIL on her side?



Author's Response:

Thank you so much Divediveburners, 

That's a huge compliment. I try to keep it spicy, but the plot is super important to me.

Ha! Please tell me who your ship is! Annabelle's friends will be making a reappearance. 

Jajaja, and if she had Brazil on her side, then that would make it an unfair match. Though on a serious note, Annabelle's relationship with those countries (on her mother's side) is definitely impacted by her relationship  with her mother. I can't wait to explore it later.

Thanks again for commenting!

I typically don't go for shrunken woman stories, but the tale you've weaved is incredibly intriguing, full of mystery, and inner conflict. It's one of those things where the giantess stuff, even though it plays a major part of the story, sort of plays second fiddle to the struggle of the protagonist, Annabelle.

And you've definitely made me root for Annabelle, not for that Poppy loony. 

As for speculation, I've been wondering, considering FF's actions now, if there's a second aspect to the imprinting aspect, where the type 0 is able to convey a certain obsession, or domination over his/her supposed protector. It would be interesting, not to mention, most satisfying and triumphant, if Annabelle is able to turn the tables like that.



Author's Response:

Thank you Divedivebrners! I'll admit I made my protagonist a teen girl, because I noticed the stories that get a lot of engagement are the shrunken men stories (which, I mean I get it). It was kind of a challenge to myself to see if I could write a female protagonist that people would find compelling. 

I like reading everyone's theories about imprinting, and yours is really intriguing. I can't say much about it, but the further chapters will discuss imprinting more.


Thanks for the review, Divediveburners!

This entire collection has just been hit after hit of absolute gold.

This particular chapter, in my opinion, equaled that of Chapter 5 with the astronaut stranded on the ice planet. Marina's clearly a powerful yet kind soul, and it'll be interesting to find out what exactly caused her curse. Of course, I'm a sucker for the budding romance between her and Edwin.

You've got a knack for depicting vore, despite leaning on the gentle side. From describing the strands of saliva, to Edwin traveling down her throat and esophagus, you're able to project a vivid, detailed image with an excellent sense of flow. We're not treated to paragraphs on the consistency of the mucus of her throat, but neither are you going ("and then she swallowed him"). It's probably my favorite vore scene in recent memory, and I'm not even into that kind of stuff.

Look forward to part 2.



Author's Response:

I have a loose idea of how to progress the story, but right now I'm trying to keep it interesting. Adding a short detour adventure for Edwin, etc. I had to resist the urge to nuke this chapter, I submitted it in a state which I later decided was too boring. But the handful of reviews you guys leave are enough to help dispel some of these aggravating hangups I always have.

I like vore/ass stuff, so there's always a chance they may appear in one of my stories. Unfortunately I'm not too into vaginal or feet stuff and that tends to be a huge disadvantage when it comes to reading some stories lol. Still, this site is full of soooo much stuff. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, you're the MVP.

Excellent entry. While I do prefer tinys that tend to be somewhat self-sufficient, and have plenty of swagger themselves, sometimes, you want your giant girl to cuddle a guy (or gal) that needs it. You've got a nice snappy writing style for this one, although I believe you went into a tad more detail in your last two entries in terms of setting the scene and describing actions and moods, which is something I generally prefer.

Some people (including myself) enjoy a mix of cruel and gentle content, but I tend to stomach pure benevolence far better than pure malevolence, and this story, as well as the ones before it, are no exception (even though I believe they are quite exceptional).

Nevertheless, "Made for Me" is another successful exercise.



Author's Response:

I appreciate your feedback! I feel like I'm better at writing natural dialogue than describing stuff. For me, I think natural dialogue is better for Gentle and being able to describe stuff is better for Cruel/Mischievous.

I've written and deleted stories involving vore, death and domination with morally ambiguous giantesses, I'm my own biggest critic and usually am never satisfied with anything I make. The real exercise for me is even posting these things at all *flamboyant bow*

Regardless I do think my pacing is very fast because I don't elaborate enough on things.

Most of my tinies are usually in need of protection or mentally piss themselves the minute they meet a giantess for the first time.

I won't even hardly read pure malevolence stories. I like kind giantesses, or neutral ones that can dominate their enemies while being pleasant to their allied tinies.

Thanks for leaving a review I appreciate it

This collection appears to have the potential to be something special. You've said it on the tin, these are writing exercises, and for your own self-improvement. Already, between "The End" and "Date-Ex Machina" you've really cleaned up your style. Even in the relatively messy first chapter, you had a pretty good character voice that kept me involved.

Your characters are nice and wholesome, so far, but they're not carboard cutout stereotypes. Even Sarah, who doesn't show up in the chapter, from conversation alone between the tiny and Stacy, you get a pretty good idea of who she is. All your characters are likeable, and in a gentle romp such as this, that's to its benefit.



Author's Response:

Indeed! Sometimes I'll have some daydreams and I want to archive them on my profile, and usually end up reading them in the future again. Gentle is one of my favorite kinds of giant/tiny interaction. I'll read other stories and they're just so much better than what I can do, but there is a sort of liberating feeling to get these things out of my mind and into the physical world.

As for the characters in Date-us Ex Machina, I'm trying to keep them wholesome if possible to fit the gentle theme, but I don't think I'm very good at making unique characters. I'm looking forward to introduce Sarah at some point soon, and my goal is to make her act sweeter than Stacy, who does not have a secret crush on Theodore.

Thank you for the review, it means a lot to me.

Date: May 17 2022 Title: Chapter 5: Frigid Planet

This particular story has been my favorite one-shot in recent memory. Some of my favorite giantess tropes have been depicting typically mean/cruel scenarios such as crush/vore/scat in a gentle context. I also enjoy the trope of having evil-looking characters turning out to be sweethearts. And finally, a giantess feeding off of predatory creatures while sparing the tiny is *chef's kiss*.
Despite Ymyr's limited vocabulary, you are able to portray her with a lot of character. She appears to be a kindly soul, if lonely. This does remind me of your Naga story somewhat, where instead of using one-word phrases, the character is mute. The tiny guy, as depicted here, works, he seems to have a sense of bravado that makes him easy to root for.
Best scene here was when Ymyr reveals that she can't regurgitate. A great depiction of a ... crappy situation.



Author's Response:

Hey-o Dive, thanks for the review again! I'm very happy to hear you like my work. I obviously enjoy some of those same tropes as you, otherwise I wouldn't have thought to write them out. I wanted Ymyr to be visually intimidating, and then try to make her do her best to calm down the tiny protag. I wanted to mention that her limited vocabulary would actually be much more efficient if she were to find another of her kind, and that she was having to limit herself to communicate in a way a human can comprehend. It's hard to explain, I suppose. I suppose it is similar to the naga story somewhat, I think. Different in small ways. But I agree, I love how usually cruel situations hit so much different when thrown into a gentle context. I also love stories where giantesses are either aware of unaware of the power dynamic they have over their tiny friends. If they're aware how scary they are, it's cute to watch them try and minimize how imposing they are, and work to eliminate those nagging thoughts at the back of a tiny's mind: that they could be hurt or killed so easily... Conversely when a giantess is unaware of how scary she seems, and causes the tiny to suffer mini heart attacks just by her presence, being hugged or kissed or whatnot, I find it cute as well when they do not quite grasp their own power, but have no intention of being malicious. All the while, their tiny is aware and thankful of their situation. :)

What a chronicle! Full of ups and downs, cynicism and idealism, plot and ...uh.... "plot". You sure have "Delivered" an epic for the ages.

Her reuniting with Byung-ho, I could definitely see echoes of Zuko's reconciliation with Uncle Iroh. It was probably the best way ever to use that reference. It flowed like leaves on a vine. (Now that I think of it, Grace from the previous chapter reminded me of Ozai for some reason, or maybe Azula)

If there's one gripe with this entire story, I did think the penultimate conflict with Satsuki (Kiryuin) was resolved way too quickly. I guess having that battle right after the resolution with Grace would have been too much.

Still, overall, fantastic finish, and I look forward to the epilogue.



Author's Response:

Jisoo's reunion took heavy inspiration from that scene, and like Iroh, Byung-ho never harbored any resentment towards Jisoo and neither did Tae-yeon. Likewise Grace has her Azula moment by talking into the mirror, but like Ozai has a chat in prison. It's a way for Jisoo to let go of her 'fake family' which comprises of Grace, Lihua and the others whilst reconciling with her real family whom she abandoned.

And I definitely would have drawn out the storyline of spirits and Satsuki's overall plan (there are several unwritten sections I removed) but the battle between Satsuki and Jisoo didn't really fit the overall tone of the story since it involved mass city-wide destruction across many continents and would leave so many more loose ends. Satsuki was more of a background villain for most of the story, pulling strings and more time had to be dedicated towards the primary antagonist (Grace). But I agree, I could have handled it much better.

But thank you so much for the continued feedback and support! I can't wait to write future entries into this series

Hoo boy, I'll have to bookmark this chapter ... for no particular reason.

I do like that there's some pushback against such a radical, world-altering idea. Often times, radical, quick, implements tend to end in disaster. It's good that Jisoo wants to pace the changes, but sometimes, you have to have the mindset that things can always get worse, and sometimes, the best thing to do is nothing. The cure can inflict more harm than the disease.

Of course, look forward to her to be on the hunt for some Amita troublemakers, which is probably the best course of action for her. We'll see how the conflict within her plays out, and I suspect Eren will play a large role in that decision.

And speaking of Eren, all those trials and suffering was worth it, as we can see by the end of the chapter. Going from torture by Grace, to being "attended to" by Jisoo. Perfectly balanced.



Author's Response:

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Holy cow, Madeline just pulled a Keikeku Doori on Ren! Nice of her to utilize her situation to turn the tables on Ren.

It looks like Eren will be the one that may need some sort of healing, or whatever they have up there with Jisoo's mother. Grace really is a whirlwind of catastrophe, even when she means well.



Author's Response: In the wise words of Light Yagami: "Just as planned."
