@TakoAlice8 Hey! To be honest my focus is shrunken women, but I’m really looking for insight into size fetish in general. So, by all means, feel free to answer however you like and it would be appreciated greatly!

@Giganto82 what they said

@Olo said in Quick survey for a story idea...:

Coiled Fist has some talented M/m animators.

Yup, and they also have some of best GenAI synthographers I’ve seen! It’s crazy how much talent there is in the M/m part of the community.

“GTSbois” hehe… I’m stealing that! 😁

@Mimi-Robotto Thank you so much, there’s a lot that resonates with me in what you wrote, but first let me just say that I’m in a better place mentally than when I wrote this. I haven’t been able to talk to my therapist about the kink yet but we did address some adjacent topics. Meds also helped but caused other side effects which I’m still dealing with. Overall I’ve still got a long road ahead but no longer in pure survival mode.

About the void I feel, you absolutely nail it on the head. I’ve never been more myself than when I indulge in RP or semi-RP with tiny ladies. They see a part of me that’s been hidden forever, and they love that part of me. It’s incredibly validating and at the same time, reality comes back twice as hard to crush me. That’s the part that make me feel even lonelier in this life, more so than just the lack of a life partner, but one who sees me without any facade, at my most vulnerable.

Sadly I had to stop my therapy sessions because my insurance ran out and I couldn’t afford to pay for them out of pocket, but I’m restarting them in January, hopefully this time around I’ll be able to push through my mental block and talk openly about my fetish. I feel there’s still a lot to unpack in there.

@Olo

Yup. All islands, everywhere, are basiclly abandoned, since they’re too small to be effectively protected for how rare giants are. Antarctica is basiclly gone, and the containment zones mean large parts of Asia, North America, and Africa are basiclly cordoned off as de facto sacrifices for the various Mid-Sizes. Stuff on the water’s edge is theoretically protected, but it’s very ‘on your head be it’ levels of risk for those who live there (the spring break parties are even wilder in such places than they are now, since most of the beach goers are to some extent adrenaline junkies); ship based trade has dropped substantially, because out in the ocean is filled with monsters, replace with more air freight and less need to in general because of more advanced technology.

Compared to the current amount of people on land, it’s now closer to 2/3s or even a 1/2, I’d think.

@The-Big-G I’m sure you’ll get it if you take another look at the examples, but the options loosely correlate to the many categories and content tags that Size folk use to describe images, stories, scenarios, etc. I’ve all but decided there will be “meta-categories” like Size Range, Gender Configuration, Activities, Theme, Tone, Genre.

Examples of Size Range: “Doll” or “3-4 inches.”

Examples of Gender Configuration: “M/f” or “F/f.”

Examples of Activities: “Handheld” or “Cock Riding.”

Examples of Theme: “Historical” or “Fairytale Land”

Examples of Tone: “Gentle” or “Callous.”

Examples of Genre: “Romance” or “Horror.”

I reserve the right to revise any or all of this without notice once I start compiling.

@Olo prompt engineering w/ ChatGPT requires weaving a lot of context to get the situation and emotions you want. You can’t say some word directly otherwise the watchdogs will be triggered. You need to balance the prompt to get a positive “mood”, and even then, sometimes the model can identify through the innuendo what you are alluding to.

(In this case I was trying to get her inside a cage, so the model’s inference that she was shrunk “against her will” probably stems from there)

@starslayer I think the best way I can answer this is describing my own experience being small… in VR! Because as much as I enjoy the idea of being tiny, I know that if it was real there would still be quite a bit of fear there - not sure how much you want to delve into that aspect in your story. However it’s obviously safe in VR, so I was free to really enjoy it. I definitely did a lot of looking around at how big everything was and explored, but what I was most excited about was meeting giants and fellow tinies. I felt a bit shy at first (and honestly a bit intimidated by the size difference), but once I got over that I kept having to remind myself that giants need personal space too, because it was just sooo exciting to be picked up and interacted with. So once I made friends I became more liberal about hugging fingers, climbing up in their lap or on their shoe, basically harrying them for attention 😆

@Olo thanks, will do!

@Olo thank you, I have redone the delete. I will comment that I put the post before realizing there was another post related to it.

@Olo Fair! I would just need to close my eyes and pretend I’m in a pocket with a hand pressing in on me 😍

@tiny-ivy Thank you.

I think of fun idea would be following a tiny idol/band group. Following there struggles and some performances. There performing on a table. NO TOUCHING.

@tiny-ivy “Statistically-generated content,” to really capture the lack of creative agency.

@SmolChlo I see… now I have a source

@everwinter810 Check this thread on the Shrunken Women Board.

@i-am-insane there’s one book that I always think of when I read that sort of story. Flux, by Stephen Baxter, is about very small people in the far future, living inside of a neutron star and the kinds of problems they’d have to deal with in an environment on that scale. It’s ostensibly “hard” science fiction, and the author is pretty well-known for the outlandish but supposedly plausible concepts that he brings into his stories. He’s also one of the grimmest hard SF writers I’ve read. His worlds are just very, very bleak. BUT he wrote a story that deals with the actual physics of a society of microscopic people, so props for that.
