@sloppy_amy I’ve found that it’s difficult to crush a skull that’s still in use.

RE: Out of their Element
@littlest-lily I like how Evie functions as a walking, talking adrenal gland for Aiden.

RE: Out of their Element
@littlest-lily Whenever I read about a handheld tiny flailing their legs, I think of the mechanical props on Land of the Giants that they used as stand-ins for handheld “Little People” being carried off by giants:

RE: Does g/t make love triangles better?
I wasn’t aware that love triangles had fallen into disfavor, but I’m notoriously out of touch with current trends.
In my experience, love triangles are a common development in size fantasy with creators who feel they have worn out standard pairings and want to mix things up. It often produces gratifying results.
I, for one, would have endless fun with two tiny ladies who were jealous of each other and fought to be considered my favorite.

RE: Bachelorette Party surprise .
@frollo Your “captions” improve the longer they are. I’d like to see the whole story.
Also, if I’m working that gig, I’d definitely waive the entire fee to keep one of the guests.

I’ve never seen Land of the Giants, I apparently need to change that!
It had some nice moments, but it had far more missed opportunities. Everything’s getting rebooted, why not LOTG?

RE: Out of their Element
I’m older and more experienced than Aiden, and I’d be mortified when I found out I had done this. A hundred bucks says he calls up Moira and begs her to take care of Evie until he can face up to this. It could set them both back months.

RE: Walkies
@littlest-lily Yup, sympathy for the doggo (and the family) is there to heighten the villainy. And if she is rescued but restoration is impossible, she’ll have a companion.

RE: The Prof
That’s it for now; that’s as far as the original idea went. I have no immediate plans to continue this story; in fact, a couple of nicer stories are next up in the queue.
If I ever return to this, you can probably guess that this criminal enterprise—like so many others—will fall apart due to greed, impatience, and short-sightedness.

RE: Ugly Giants
@i-am-insane Okay, now that Shrek has been invoked twice, I have to link to my first male giant story, Accomodations, where one reader compared my protagonist to Shrek. It’s a first-person narrative from the giant’s perspective, so I don’t actually physically describe him anywhere, so I suppose the likeness must be in his personality.
As a long-time sifter of mainstream size content, I suppose a large part of the frustration with ugly/mean giants is that they immediately signal to the audience that they should in no way expect the giant(s) to be involved in any sexytimes or even romantic attraction. In fact, they seem to deliberately mock the idea that the audience might have such an expectation.
Traditionally, ogres eat people, and I don’t recall that ever coming up in the Shrek movies (I suppose you can see my personal frustration here).
Finally, Fiona was way hotter as an ogress. They didn’t even try to make her scary.
