@giant-me thank you!! I’ll give them a read

@giant-me Well, thanks. I’m getting all imposter syndrome over here. I’m glad you enjoy enough to share with others.

Now as for me, it depends on the story I’m envisioning. Some are from the shrunken, some from the giant (Note: I don’t really have any giant stories, I just don’t know what else to call them. Cagers? Reducers? Did I miss the slang memo for this?) Sometimes I want the readers to experience the fear worry while other times I want them to enjoy the selfish cruelty. Not that I haven’t started nice giant stories, I just have none finished in any sharable state.

I don’t think I have any personally written stories that switch between shrunken and Giant though, maybe I should.

Thanks again, I’m going to curl in my chair and reason my way out of accepting praise. Honestly still happily weirded out by such bold compuments.

I’ve never seen slang or a tag for this, but I’d nominate “Collectors.”

I didn’t want to imply that all stories could be divided into “giant’s perspective” and “tiny’s perspective;” there are endless variations and configurations. When it comes to smut, it generally helps to have someone’s perspective in order to show their sensations and emotions and thoughts. However, I’ve read successful (that is, arousing) stories that were just straight-up third-person reporting of events that didn’t get into anyone’s heads.

Of course, it’s always more difficult to write from the perspective of a different gender, orientation, or kink than your own, but that’s not a reason not to try. As always, the solution is to encourage greater diversity in both writers and readers.

I don’t typically identify as tiny (although there are those occasions…), but for me, the allure is entirely in the tiny perspective. Half the time, I don’t even imagine myself as the giant, and I just imagine a vague “a giant” or “a giantess” since I’m less interested in their side of it, and my focus is entirely on the shrunken toy.

I’m not especially interested in lording my own power over some tiny little thing, or leaving a trail of destruction through a miniature city. But I’m absolutely interested in the overwhelming feelings of awe and helplessness that she feels when she’s huddled in my palm, with nothing to shield her from my colossal gaze. Or the sheer inadequacy that she feels when she tries to get a snack from the kitchen, and can’t even open one of the soft-close cupboards, or find a way up to the counter.

Or, conversely, the comfort and security that she feels from having an unimaginably powerful protector to take care of her. It depends on my mood, but generally I find that the unwilling or uncomfortable shrinkees are more fun to imagine.

@olo It depends. Occasionally, I like the giant person to remain mysterious and for the reader to draw their own conclusions about them. One of my giantess characters was a liar and played mind games with the main character, so I wrote the story from a third person limited point of view.

Other times, I explore the inner workings of both the giant and tiny characters, which can serve as an interesting contrast, especially in terms of motivation.

@olo i actually prefer the percpective of the tiny, maybe a chapter or two from the gianta perspective
