I never fully appreciated this expression until I imagined holding a tiny lady in my hand.

So I finally got the invitation to create an account on AO3. I haven’t posted any stories yet because my OCD is compelling me to be exhaustive when tagging (I also don’t have any M/f stories that really belong there). I’ve spent several hours lost among the tags and FAQs, and for those of you who make use of AO3 I have a few questions.

1. Is heterosexuality even allowed?

2. I note that the gender/size tag we use don’t really work (or are not used) on AO3. “M/f” doesn’t always retain the capitalization and it returns hundreds of hits that have nothing to do with size. I have seen people use the individual tags “male giant” and “female tiny,” but that only indicates that there are characters present who fall into those categories; it doesn’t necessarily indicate that they interact with each other. There is a sub-category of tags called Relationships. Example: “Relationship: James T. Kirk/Spock.” Many such Relationships have been “canonized” and will be suggested when typing in the Relationship tag field. There are, however, countless “non-canonical” Relationship tags, including some that are quite creative or generic, such as “Relationship: Hannibal Lecter/Original Male Character” or “Relationship: Blond Himbo/Shy Librarian.”

It seems to me that we could use “Relationship: Male Giant/Female Tiny” as a distinctive tag that indicates the preferred configuration. There’s no reason not to augment this with additional tags such as “Shrunken Woman” or “Bratty Female Borrower” or “Protective Male Giant” or “Gluttonous Male Giant” or “Rapey Giant Bastard,” plus all the preferred body parts and activities.

Any other tips or suggestions for AO3 newbies? Questions for AO3 veterans?

Large Language Models remain woefully inferior to a creative human, but sometimes they get it right.

Instead of tying a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue, try getting a tiny’s pants off with your tongue.

I wrote a guest post on Aborigen’s blog about what it’s like to have a sexual fantasy that features violence and death. As always, I wrote to start—not conclude—a discussion, so let me know what you think.

Absolutely would. Might even bring back some passengers.
