@maladaptivetiny An intriguing introduction, it’s mostly from her perspective but we get a few glimpses of this thoughts and intentions. I’m very curious about the village of voluntary tinies whose consent is always respected. Unmentioned is whether anyone has ever asked to be returned to full size, and what his response was.
@tiny-ivy I hope you encounter someone with the appropriate imagination and appetite.
@maladaptivetiny The whole narrative (so far) turns on Susan considering how much she can trust Richard. What she knows about his character and intentions are crucial to her decision.
@littlest-lily I’m afraid it varies depending on several factors, primarily our respective personae. 
To address the specific size issue: little ladies taller than four inches are literally more than a handful, and it’s very important to me that I can enclose her entirely in my hand, so four inches is usually my upper limit. 
The greatest catastrophe would be if I were to drop her, so my chief concern is a secure grip. One-inchers get pinched between the pads of my index finger and my thumb, 2-4 inchers are wrapped up by my fingers and pressed against my palm. Under a half-inch-tall is too small to really grip, so if I wanted a micro lady in my palm I’d probably have to sweep her into it. A bottle of compressed air would come in handy here. 
An important factor is whether a given tiny woman has ever been handled by anyone at all or by me in particular. If it is an occasion where I need or want to establish trust, I might invite her to place herself into my palm. If I am feeling particularly dominant or if I sense that she’s feeling particularly submissive, I will simply grab her without warning or permission. 
Regular readers will recall that I enjoy bathing tiny ladies, so when it’s time to dry off I’ll scoop her up out of the water. If she’s in the bathtub with me, I probably won’t be able to resist surfacing some part of my body beneath her. 
There is no greater first impression than the first physical contact, and it can also be an occasion for demonstration and instruction. Dangling her upside down by her leg looks absurd, and as such it is best reserved for when there’s an audience, either other tinies who need to be trained or other biggos who would be entertained by her plight. 
Last but not least, I do enjoy picking her up with my lips and teeth by bringing my mouth down over her T-Rex-style. I’ll do this with even the most cherished and respected tinies as a bit of playful teasing. 
@littlest-lily I will refrain from asking follow-up questions and simply enjoy the extra glimpse into Blue’s life and her world. 
I cannot help but be reminded of the time we tried to foster a second dog from the same rescue agency from whom we adopted our first dog. The second dog, Pax, must have been abused by a man because he never responded to my calls and always slunk away from me, even when I had treats. Pax constantly tried to escape, most notably digging under the backyard fence. We gave it three stressful months before I had to return him (on a Father’s Day, too). Fortunately he didn’t seem to teach our first dog any bad habits (like digging). On our recommendation the agency placed Pax with a woman who lived by herself.
I’m very proud of Blue for finding Lucky a new home, however long she stays. Something tells me FaeCo isn’t very diligent about vetting customers paying those prices. 
@littlest-lily Tinies suffer less from falling due to their small mass, so being moved around by puffs of air or suction (think a straw with a finger over one end) carries less risk of crushing and can even get to be fun for the tiny.
Yeah, tweezers are unquestionably scary (sometimes intentionally so).
@nyx I was today years old when I discovered Eowyn/Witchking shippers. For some reason I blame you.
@littlest-lily Alright, here’s the big one: How do the little ladies become little? Is it voluntary? Is it still a secret outside FaeCo’s customer base?
@littlest-lily If I have to run for any reason while holding you, you’ll want to be in my fist.
@biggrumpy It would take several attempts from different perspectives. It’s only been in recent decades that anyone has openly discussed these desires as an abiding serious interest, and even then it’s been almost entirely anonymous. Trying to look back at historical examples of size fantasy and speculating, “Were they one of us?” seems like wishcasting, as the kids say.
@NobodyOfKnowhere I coulda sworn @Nyx wrote at least one story along these lines.
@infinitesimalee I remember these from Tumblr. If I were in the habit of switching my avatar, the top image would be in the rotation.
