I really don't get this story. I am not into butts and anal insertion, so it really doesn't appeal to me on a GTS level, but that's OK because "to each his own".
However, as a scientific American, I am having a problem with "suspension of disbelief". How could it possibly have any scientific value to stick a shrunken person up someone else's ass? How is this justifiable?
Author's Response: Hey, thanks a lot for the review. Let's work backwards from the end.
Mandatory, permanent rear-housing is a means to an end. The "end" is a significant cutback on use of non-renewable resources and redirecting the climate crisis trend downward or at least decreasing its upward slope as well as improving socioeconomic conditions around the world. (This is what Dr. Walker has suggested and admittedly, the "end" has really not been discussed at great length, and any mentioning of it has been pretty vague. The reason for that will be revealed in future installments.)
Mandatory, permanent rear-housing is the means, but we're not even up to the "means" yet...Dr. Walker hasn't confirmed if long-term rear housing is even viable, and that will take years...decades even...nor has she addressed some of the other logistic concerns such as reproduction...so fully understanding if the "means" is truly an effective approach won't be known until the experiment concludes, and this series is all about the experiment.
Between Lori's story and Becca's story, Dr. Walker has went pretty indepth on the justifications, hypotheses, and data analysis. If any of these in particular jump out at you and you have corrections/suggestions, I would truly value your input on some of the scientific details because I'm very interested in suspending disbelief as much as reasonably possible. At the end of the day though, this story exists solely to talk about shrunken people in butts...there's no way to achieve 100% believablity...the ethical and moral components alone are enough to cripple suspension of disbelief, let alone scientific authenticity, but then again so too does most setups, such as the "girl finds magic book and shrinks guy" trope.
