@SizePrize69 Yes, I’m male and I have bought many books from authors within the community over the years, although if I’m being honest some of the absolute best SW stories I’ve read were free. I’ve even bought mainstream books not written by the community that include shrinking, like the “Meek” trilogy.

A few that comes to mind :

• “Just a Few Inches” by Tara St Pierre
• “The Promise” by C.E. Wilson
• “Spare Change” by Bonnie Huffington
• “How the Chips May Fall” by scidram

Highly recommend those books, btw. About male/fem gaze… it’s a relatively new luxury that we have more female authors and I’m here for it. I’ve read so many SW stories from the POV of giants to last me a lifetime, and discovering something written from the other side is so refreshing.

That doesn’t mean that I don’t find malegaze interesting, hell that’s probably all that I could write if I tried anyway, hehe.

@blehb Hehe, nice catch! I was wondering if someone was going to notice there’s no way for her to win!

I didn’t explicitly ask for an unsolvable maze, but maybe that’s beyond the AI’s model. Actually, there’s a “hidden” side entrance to the maze, to the left, which look promising. Whether she’ll spot it or not is another story.

@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)

@SizePrize69 said in Have you ever bought books, novels or e-books (whether in Amazon or at real-life libraries) that indulge your size kink fantasies?:

I somehow have this preconceived idea that female writers tend to focus more on eliciting emotional responses and focus more on the build-up to sexual scenes.

There’s some of that, sure, but it goes even beyond. Just like us, they had the fetish their whole live and spent a lot of time imagining things from a whole difference perspective. Sometimes tiny details they bring up will make me go “wtf I never thought of that!”. Lots of insights into their minds, related to fear, the loss of control, their world perception when tiny, sensory overloads and the dependence / domination by the giant.

Then again I don’t want to speak for all males, I know some who experience the fetish through the SW’s experience, in a more submissive way. There’s no right or wrong way to do it. Me, I seek a way to immerse myself into the fantasy. I prefer the focus to be on the shrunken woman almost exclusively, and narratively leave me enough space to sort of take over the experience and fill in the blanks with my mind about the giant.

@blehb No worries I didn’t take it as nitpicking.

I can’t control every variable in the generated pics, but I agree here it’s even better as an unsolvable maze hehe.

Have a look at the email I received this morning from OpenAI (creators of the DALL-E AI I’m using for some of my gens):

What!? I wonder what could have triggered that, like 95% of my stuff is so tame. I did get flagged for “putting persons in vulnerable positions or situations”, lol. Gee, that’s kinda how I roll, OpenAI. I’ll have to be more careful, I guess. I did argue with the AI (pointless, I know!) and got this reply:

WTF…

@blehb said in Do you have any size kinks or interests that you feel are unusual?:

I FOUND IT. IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME BUT I DID IT.

Thanks! It was wonderful and brand new to me, what better way to start the day lol

@SmolChlo Wait, what?! No no no, you’re my little doll, you’re supposed to play with me! But fine, if you don’t wanna… NO cheese for you, and I’ll shrink you again even smaller than a bug, then the new maze for you to solve would be in my underwear.

@SmolChlo Hell yeah,hunting for tinies will NEVER get old.

Sorry about VR I didn’t mean to mansplain or anything! Yeah the devs are Russians and have been heavily impacted by the war so that’s why their game is late and they had to cut some features (like VR) that maybe they’ll put after launch, if the game is successful.

I recommended everyone with even a slight interest in G/t to try VR at least once if they can.

@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!

@Olo Here’s some more context for your context

At the end of Bad Channels, three of the four SW regain their normal size, except for one: Nurse Ginger.

(Yes, I may have watched it a few times a lot growing up. Yes, times were hard before the internet, but at least I had a video rental store close by and the stoner dude behind the counter didn’t ask too many questions.)

@Olo I know, such aberrant, deviant behavior - I’m waiting for the robotic AI police to come knocking any minute now. They’ll drag me to a “conversion camp” where I will learn to love normal-sized women only.

Adieu!

I’m keeping my expectations in check but:

• It’s a full 15-seconds VFX shot, it would be costly to do so only for a trailer (not saying it’s impossible, but those movies tend to have smaller budgets);
• A24 has done sizey content in the past;
• The overall semi-supernatural plot does lend itself to such a scene even if it’s just a short one;

So overall I’d say it’s probably just a metaphorical scene but I still have a little bit of hope.

That’s freaking amazing… crazy attention to details, the LED lights and all. Only wish there was something else in the frame (a hand or whatever) to better show the actual size of the miniature.

Also, I wish I could justify owning something like this…

@blehb Yup, well let’s just say back then I didn’t quite understand why I was sweating by the episode’s end.
