Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1. Amber
Wow, surprised to see Kelly coming out on top in this one. She is byfar my favorite character in this . I am a bit worried for how the third installment will play out given that Kelly is now at a size where causing immense destruction is virtually unavoidable with every motion she makes and regular interaction with people is pretty mcuh impossible.
Personally that's why I'm usually not keen on stories where people are shrunk to microscopic levels or the opposite when a giantess is so huge that regular people are near unnoticeable. But, given how wel and creatively l you've handled the giantess content so far, I'm still very intereted.
Reading the bit of back and forth that went on, in the reviews about how some of the girls feats are physically possible down to the actions of the military, I do admit I have moments where I read giantess wrecking havoc and think " Man, in real life we'd probably just nuke the shit out of her" whenever an army tries to fight back. But in general I approach these stories with a suspension of disbelief. Focusing on every last minute detail and trying to be too close to reality can make it boring (and morbid/disgusting if you think of other logical problems that Kelly would face).
I must admit though, given how intricate your series is though and how you're introducing physics into it along with Kelly and Casey being adamant on keeping their size, I do keep wondering how they'll sustain themselves. For all the problems they're causing, I can't help but keep thinking " Worse comes to worse, Kelly will just die within a week since there's no way for her to get enough food and water to survive."
Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad that you like the way I've been writing the series so far and that you have it in such a high regard. It's encouraging!
First of all, let me tell you that after reading your comment I'm convinced that we both share a very common approach in our giantess' preferences. I could not help but agreeing with almost everything you wrote as I read through your omment. It almost felt as if you had written what I had in mind when I started with Volume 2.
I'm usually very happy to reply to everyone's comments (and I've been very glad that there has been a group of people that have taken the time and effort to provide regular feedback about what I have been posting). I'm especially keen on trying to provide some additional insight to some of your comments and to hear back from you if you have any additional questions.
Let me start by the middle: I have to admit that I was a little surprised about the level of scientific/reality scrutiny in some of the comments. One of the things I was more proud of when writing the story was that I tried to keep it plausible as much as possible (considering that the entire starting point of any giantess fantasy is completely impossible). I honestly thought that I had done a decent enough job at doing that, so the strength of the criticism in some of the comments puzzled me a little. In the end, once engaged in the conversation, it has even been helpful to fine tune some of the things I had in mind (without too big changes, I have to admit). Still, it made me wonder if maybe the job I had done had not been as decent as I thought.
Then, I read your comment and realized that you had explained perfectly what I had in mind: there needs to be a ertain level of latitude in order to keep the fun. Otherwise this would be hard science fiction but boring as hell. Still, I tried to keep accuracy in as many things as it made sense, to help in getting the plausibility I was looking for. Judging from your review I think that I managed to keep the right balance, at least for you :)
Let me go to the beginning now: Kelly is also my favorite character. If this was real life she probably would not be. She is not as bad as Casey, but she is arrogant and is getting dellusional. Lisa is a much nicer person. But this is a giantess fantasy story and in its context, Kelly is the funniest character to write about. It would be hard for me to write a complete story about Casey. And even harder to write one about Lisa (that would be boring). The combination of the three is what made this story interesting to write to me and Kelly has a central role, with a character which is flexible and adaptable enough to help me make the story progress.
Now, about her new size: I need to admit that I don't like stories with microscopic people or huge giantesses either. My favorite sizes have always been in the 100-300ft range (precisely the sizes the first two volumes have focused on), since they offer the women a lot of possibilities but still make the interaction with the world and its people easy. In Volume 2, this size was especially interesting when writing Kelly who, during most of the story, just played with her surroundings. The bigger giantesses get, the harder it is to interact with the people, as you mention. And as you'll have seen in this story, like you, what I like is interaction.
So, why did I decide to make Kelly grow so big? When I wrote the outline of Volume 2 I had the entire story figured out until the ending. The catfight between Lisa and Casey had to end up in some way. Either the girls were reduced, as in Volume 1, or something else had to happen. I was tempted to make them small again, but it did not feel right. Up to some point, it felt like Groundhog Day. I did not see anyone teaming up with anyone else. None of the potential alliances made sense in the long run, and besides, it would have kept the story running in loops (one girl down, two roaming the city doing whatever that had already been done). There had to be something that changed the status quo, and this being a giantess story, I decided to make one of the girls grow.
Of course, the only logical choice was Kelly. I did not even think about the possibility of making Lisa grow and if Casey had been the one to become huge, any story from then onwards could have only been Casey rampaging this or Casey rampaging that and it would have become boring too (at least to me). Kelly was the only one that could grow and still be interesting to write. So, that's what I did. And I chose a much much bigger size than the one I typically like because I did not want to turn this story in a growth contest where every girl gets a hundred feet taller in an attempt to be the one on top. It would not have played well in the universe I had thought of. Whenever Kelly grew, it had to be evident that she was the one in charge, so that’s what I did.
This choice helped me end Volume 2 at a point where even if the storyline is not concluded, I think the story feels complete enough to close it. And it set the ground for Volume 3. This choice also means that Volume 3 will be much more challenging to write. Kelly’s new size does not feel so natural to me when I’m writing about it, but I decided to take the challenge and see what would come out (hopefully it will still be decent enough…). And since what I like is interaction, I can tell you that one of the things I’m keeping my focus while writing the first few drafts of Volume 3 is precisely Kelly’s interactions with the world from her new perspective. As she stated in her speech, she wants to rule. And this means that she has to interact with the people, so she will try. Of course, with her size the amount of destruction will grow exponentially since, as you mention, it’s quite unavoidable. And this will also end up having an impact in Kelly, who was already getting a little too detached from reality by the end of Volume 2. But still, she won’t be just an oversized version of Casey. Kelly is much more complex than that.
Having said all this, I’ll try to keep making the story as plausible as possible within the rules I already set for this fiction world. I hope that I will be able to achieve the objective. I would not think too much about Kelly dying due to lack of food. The story will take place immediately after Volume 2 and will not span more than a couple or three days.
Thanks again for reviewing and for the positive feedback!
Cheers!
