Major blow to Gen V: Chance Perdomo dies in motorcycle accident

The second season was just about to start shooting. Given that Perdomo’s character Andre was a key figure on Gen V, I cannot imagine they won’t have to substantially rewrite the season.

@blehb You’ve put your finger on why I chose isolation for Gorj. Attracting the attention of thousands and threatening property and lives is an entirely different vibe, one that takes me effort to get into.

@littlest-lily I just started using a weighted blanket a couple of months ago. I’ll most likely stop using it when it gets warmer, but for now it has really helped me get to sleep quicker.

@mrgoblinging7 I can’t wait to get back to the office.

@SmolChlo She’s gonna wanna cut that hair…

I imagine everyone is capable of either “gaze,” and I asked because I want to work on them.

@sloppy_amy Just keep her talking.

GIFs are cool but dunno the file limit.

The file limit is 1MB. That’s right, one megabyte. Some of the GIFs I’ve posted here had to be compressed more than Tinkerbell’s butt in a pair of skinny jeans.

Thank you for the feedback. My initial impressions largely matched up with the areas of focus mentioned (I also did a little googling), but it’s very helpful to hear how they apply in the context of size writing. The visual/emotional balance is one that has to be struck anew for every story, and I think it’s important to keep that balance consistent over the course of the story.

One challenge I’ve had ever since I started writing size stories is gauging the right level of description. Popular fetish-writing guides tell you to err on the side of too much description rather than not enough; in the case of Size, the reader wants to be constantly told how huge or tiny everything is to the POV character. One thing I’ve tried to keep in mind is that objects (and people) can both physical size and dramatic size. The Biggo’s hand might be the relative size of a small car, but if the Biggo is the POV character’s only hope for survival then their hand will seem even bigger.

And then you can throw them in the bin

I feel like I did something like this when I built up the protagonist of The Interview as an accomplished woman only to have her meet an absurd and ignominious end.

@smolchlo Shouldn’t Chloe, who is the most familiar with her orifices, determine the answer to that question?

Plus, beauty is subjective! Which is why I think some writers will leave out descriptions. They’ll imply the giant is attractive and what that means is up to you and your preferences.

This was my initial instinct when I first started writing Size stories, but I quickly changed my mind for two reasons.

Interior monologues are too important to erotica not to include the POV character’s opinions on the physical attributes of the character they’re having feelings about. Those little details are going to take on greater significance as the protagonist reflects on what it’s like to be near them (or separated from them). If the reader is just too repelled by the giant’s mustache or beer gut, well, you can’t please everybody.

Similarly, another well-known trope of erotica/romance is that emotional attraction often precedes physical attraction, and attributes that might be insignificant or even unattractive on a dating app or in a singles bar become endearing or even arousing later in the relationship.

Reasons specific to Size: being overwhelmed by a giant’s physical attributes is a central experience in size fantasy. How they smell, the texture of their skin, the color and style of their hair, the clothes they wear (and enclose tiny POV characters), how their voice sounds to tiny eardrums—it’s not a Size story without these details.

Another aspect of Size that is important to me is that tinies can’t be choosers. Meaningful consent is an elusive beast in all but the most gentle Size stories, and becoming acclimated to the tiny role in a mixed-size relationship includes accepting all the physical realities. That process of acceptance is a crucial element of this genre.

@smolchlo You wanna play with giants, you need to know your limits.
