REQUEST 28 by Lord Xarnor

@littlest-lily I really like the way you orient the reader to the action, enough detail to see what is going on but not so much as to slow everything down. Aiden’s interior narrative is complex and coherent, and Dr. Little’s reactions are plausible and not conveniently stupid. Aiden barely gets Evie out of there instead of being some sort of perfect action hero. He and Evie have a lot of discoveries ahead of them.

I didn’t get to see Ivy’s post before she deleted it, but extrapolating from the replies, whenever I “see” myself in a size fantasy, I appear much like I do in real life, which is a spitting image of Jason Momoa.

You know the old adage: you never really get to know a person until they’ve been shrunken small enough to hold in your hand. I am therefore more interested in seeing a variety of different women dwindle out of their clothes and come to grips with having to navigate a world of giants. Young or old, skinny or fat, timid or tough; it’s a new discovery each time.

As to specific sizes, I answered this before.

Nevertheless, if you paraded a wide cross-section of women in front of me and said, “Pick one and we’ll shrink her for you,” I’d probably lean toward a MILF type, old enough to have acquired some confidence and dignity, only to lose it as she became my pet. I would also be strongly tempted by a thick ass and thighs that I could gnaw on.

@shardro Marvelous!

@littlest-lily I had expected Evie to join Aiden in the kitchen at some point, but I never made the Ratatouille connection. That’s a sweet image.

“You ready to be my little GPS?”

Aiden’s pick-up lines are improving.

“Aww, why do you keep them in a box? Poor things. You should display them if they’re important to you!”

Indeed.

@smolchlo Nothing better than a bottle POV looking up at a smug smirk just before the stopper goes in.

@ivythefairie There is clearly an appeal to being able to get what you want just by grunting.

The Captive by Mikester65

@littlest-lily As someone who is desperately trying to reduce the amount of time he spends online, it was ironic to find myself during the first part of this chapter saying, “Evie needs the Internet.”

Both Evie and Aiden seem remarkably emotionally mature for their age(s). It’s both appropriate and adorable that Evie is the first to indulge in fantasizing about what a life together would be like. I’m struck that she already seems to have, if not abandoned, at least deferred the hope of getting restored to normal size.

Both of them need to acknowledge that Evie’s dependency on Aiden is a real obstacle to their relationship. I think it’s most analagous to her having suffered a disability. Some couples can accommodate that, some cannot.

@technomage Other guys worry about inconvenient erections, I worry people will notice my clenching fingers or my twitching tongue.

So, an exchange in the Unfortunate Alice thread prompted me to think more about a question about perspectives in size fantasy that I’ve been wrestling with for a while now. How much do you really want to know about your fantasy object?

If you identify as a tiny woman in a M/f scenario, do want to know what’s going on in the big guy’s head, do you want to project your own preferences onto him, or do you want him to remain mysterious and overwhelming? I know what I like as a size fantasist, but as a size writer I often wonder which perspectives and how much depth I should include.

I don’t think there’s much question that the majority of size fantasists primarily identify as tiny, with the consequence that the “classic” size fantasy story is written from the tiny’s perspective. In such stories, the giant characters are generally free to pursue their own agendas without having to explain or justify them, and the drama comes from the tiny characters having to anticipate and adapt to those agendas. Mysterious or arbitrary giants therefore often make good plot devices.

Size fantasy has become more sophisticated since we all found each other and started creating for people other than ourselves. We have begun to think about not only what we want to see but also how we want to be seen, about who else has found their way to size fantasy and what they want to see. “Classic” relationships can be inverted, trying on different perspectives or just mixing things up and seeing what happens.

I’m just curious as to what everyone’s tastes are as far as this goes. Sometimes I prefer a refreshing change of perspective, but often I just need my itches scratched, and long stories with complex characters and plots can divert from that. I still maintain that real characters make for hot smut, but I don’t always have a good feel for when to just lean into the tropes we all know and love.

For example, my story series Taken is written from the perspective of Gordon, a man compelled to shrink women and take them for his pleasure. The narrative is deeply embedded in his own desires and anxieties, and he is often a comic or a tragic figure. I wrote it this way partly because I wanted to subvert the stereotype of the mysterious and confident giant, partly because I was trying to stretch my literary legs, but mostly because I wanted to explore what kind of man would kidnap, rape, and devour women and how he would think of himself. If you’re a tiny woman who gets off on reading about such a man, do you want to know what’s going on in his head or do you just want to see him get down to business?

There is no “bad” answer here; all opinions and preferences are valid.

Belastungsprobe by Pipifax (aka Max Liebermann)

@littlest-lily Handling without warning or obtaining permission is another big step, probably moreso for Aiden than for Evie.

Watching tinies navigate and manipulate their environment is endlessly fascinating to me. It’s my favorite distraction. All of my little lovelies have to overcome their self-consciousness fairly quickly.

Aiden’s repeated proposals to take Evie outside confirms to me that he’s suffering from separation anxiety as much as Evie has been.

Christmas decorations? Slow down, buddy.

Someone’s excited for Vore Day.
