Shrinking Story Ideas

[littlest-lily]

I concur with everyone else, that first idea is a gem and sounds hilarious. Otherwise, I’ve come across some wholesome stories (and enjoy writing some myself) but really find myself wishing there were more! The other thing I wish I saw more of (and I realize I’m in the minority in really enjoying this) are micro sizes. There’s a lot of fun adventures to be had with bug sizes ladies, and they don’t have to be unaware stories either! I’d share more specific ideas if I didn’t plan on writing them myself one day haha. But I look forward to whatever comes out of this!

Oh no, I agree, micro stories are fun, but since it’s basiclly impossible to have normal interaction they’re harder to write and indulge in. Generally they tend to short stories more, since there’s less to explain than something longer and more in-depth.

[littlest-lily]

@i-am-insane Agreed! But I looove that challenge of how interaction can still happen. Even if some of the physics end up having to be hand waved away sometimes, but heck that happens anyways with growth and shrinking stuff.

@SmolChlo What a terrifying thought. What have I done. I would be careful tho. After all, bullies get the boot!

[SmolChlo]

@ThumbLoverVer2 you scared of a tiny bully like me? 🥺 … I just want to crawl up your pant leg when your least expecting it

[Olo]

@SmolChlo I used to torment myself imagining that a venomous spider was going to crawl under my bed sheets as soon as I turned off the light. This is worse.

[SmolChlo]

@Olo a scary little Chloe lurking in the darkness that is your bed sheets, waiting for her enormous prey to get into bed, relax and enjoy his peaceful slumber… or so he thought ️ I’d have to be careful though, I don’t want to get rolled over on top of ‍

@ThumbLoverVer2 said in Shrinking Story Ideas:

Giant: “Really… you’re not even fighting me about this?”
Tiny: “Will it change anything?”
Giant: “No. not really… Not even a little bit?”
Tiny: “Sounds like too much work.”

Relateable :')

So scaredy giants are adorable. I would absolutely read a story about this - it’s very much like Arrietty’s first encounter with The Boy! Also, so many people are afraid of tiny things, it’s pretty funny. Unless you live in Australia, then even the tiny things really do try to kill you.

Wholesome stories are always welcome in my book

@ThumbLoverVer2 oooh, yes. there’s plenty of good reasons for the ‘giant’ in SW stories to be scared!

1. Their sense of reality is breaking. People aren’t supposed to be that small. But here she is, somehow. “Am I going insane? Or am I just dumb - how much do I not know about the real world?”
2. “If this isn’t a human, what is it? A robot? An alien? A spy drone? An evil fairy? A projection being used for a prank tv show?”
3. “How long has it been here? Has it been watching me in my own house? Did it see me masturbating last night?”
4. “It’s too fragile I don’t want to accidentally hurt it!”

@tiny-ivy

1a. “Whatever happened to her could make me small!”

[SmolChlo]

@tiny-ivy I’d watch him masturbate while eating snacks like Oooh this is gonna be a good one

[Olo]

@SmolChlo

[SmolChlo]

@Olo … always watching And then we have this poor man that’s being tormented by such a creepy and perverted little thing

[Olo]

@SmolChlo Lots of horror stories about people being driven mad by sounds from within the walls.

I am more of a reader than an actual writer… But I think I can provide some solid renders to stories you come up with… I am not so good in storytelling, but I think I can provide visuals to stories, if this helps…
