Shrinking Abilities

The phone app is mentioned in the replies.

@Olo You forgot magic wand, spray and voodoo.

Call me old fashioned, but Shrink Rays all the way! Potions will do too, in a high fantasy setting.
I would also add natural/innate shrinking abilities. Either fully controlled, ie. they can change size at will without too much downside or cooldown. Or, the ability isn’t under the person’s control and they shrink either randomly(!) or under some external factors (emotions, getting wet/hot/cold, etc)

@foreverlurk Lunar cycle, waning and waxing.

@Olo Some of these are so unique! I feel like people either love the shrinking process or love the interactions afterward. I’m the latter, so I don’t put a ton of thought into these types of things, but this is so fun I might have to start!

@blehb I just remembered the diminishing candle from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad that shrinks anyone breathing its smoke as it burns down.

They’ve always been equally important to me. Give me a good, long, multi-stage shrinking with different interactions at each height and I’m in heaven.

Oh yeah that smoke, with her arm getting smaller and smaller. We’re never getting another movie like this ever, right?

@foreverlurk We certainly won’t see a tiny princess like Kathryn Grant again.

@foreverlurk Both is good! Having more content to enjoy is a lucky thing!
But I’ve read opinions in the past where people say it’s seeing the shrinking process itself that does it for them. At the same time, there are fans that get impatient with a gradual size change. Some websites even have tags relevant to this.
Like I said, I personally care more for the interactions than the lead up, but as long as the content is good I’m going to be a fan!

This is absolutely the case for many people, particularly if there is a specific physical sensation that accompanies the size change. Watching someone shrink out of or burst through their clothing, with facial expressions ranging from panicked to bewildered (my favorite) to excited; these are classic size tropes.
For myself, I am often as impatient as you are to get on with the interactions. Sometimes, however, the particular circumstances of the size change can make the process itself delicious. Was it a trick? An accident? Intentional? Is someone else responsible and what are their motives? Is size-change unheard of and mystifying, or is it understood or even expected?
Once upon a time there was an online size bulletin board simply called The Process Forum. It’s long gone now, but that’s how seriously some people considered this element of Size.

True, that’s why I envy bisizual switchers, makes it that much easier to find new content!

Oh believe me I know! You’re talking to someone who was banned on The Process Forum because I had posted media w/ no process in it.
Should have known with the forum’s name but I didn’t think they were religious about it. To be fair that was 15+ years ago, the admin was a bit of a dick, and SW was only just tolerated back then.

Think I thought of all these but contact and smoke.

Oh absolutely! I really think it’s how a content creator approaches the actual shrinking that determines how invested I am. As a straight woman, I don’t get much out of art or writing with a heavy focus on the girl. Obviously I’m more interested in the guy’s reactions and thoughts- the woman is more for me to “self-insert” in a way. So since the shrinking process in M/f is naturally going to focus on her, it tends not to be my cup of tea. Seeing the growing process can be interesting, though I definitely prefer shrinking scenarios to giant ones.
No hate to any content that does otherwise, though! These are just MY personal preferences. And if the art is really well done, I will definitely enjoy it even if it doesn’t appeal to my degeneracy.

@foreverlurk Switches are the unsung heroes of the size and BDSM communities. Bless them.
The older days of internet were a lot crueler. I definitely got banned from some forums for the silliest of reasons. I do miss it sometimes though!
