Title: Chapter 17: Natalie’s Work Week
Sad to be seeing this story ending so soon, but I understand wanting to stick with the week long structure.
First thing that crossed my mind for Tim ending up in the casserole would be for him to climb onto someone’s plate as he attempts to get some food, only for the owner of the plate to not notice him on it (maybe due to other food items on the plate already) to then lift the plate over the casserole as they are adding food to their plate.
One thing I had hoped to see at some point during this story was some more unaware interactions between Nat and Tim. Most of all some unaware in shoe interactions where Julie had put Tim or trapped Tim in his mother’s footwear. Possibly having Julie reverse blackmailing Tim with lies about Tim constantly going near Julie’s feet due to some bizarre fantasies of his. That Julie hadn’t told Nat about because she didn’t want Nat to worry. Julie puts him in his mother’s shoes both for his torture and to give credence to her lie about Tim trying to indulge himself.
Whatever you decide to do to finish out this story, I definitely will be looking forward to it. I’ll also be on the lookout for your future stories.
Author's Response: Yeah, the week-long structure provided a few key aspects to the story while also ensuring it stayed relatively concise.
Tim clinging to a plate was also one of the few ideas I’ve been kicking around. I’m just not exactly sure how to properly implement it yet.
I actually hadn’t considered Julia manipulating the situation by telling Natalie that Tim had acquired a foot fetish while shrunk. It’s certainly a scenario worth exploring, if not for this story, for future ones. Having a shrunken person exploring a newfound fantasy as they get smaller, however, would be a more natural, realistic way of getting that tiny into trouble.
But fear not, while the story is coming to a close, there’s still plenty of fun planned. Friday evening is going to be a two-parter, and I’ve been kicking around lots of ideas as to what kind of trouble Tim can get himself into. I’ve already got the first few details figured out—just need to get them written.
