I know the whole noncon shrinking is borderline and contradicts what I just said lol

Get to know a woman well enough and she won’t have to tell you she wants you to take her home in your pocket; you’ll just know.

For giant’s clothing, I favor two items that I myself wear frequently in real life: briefs and shirts with breast pockets. Tinies were made for containment.

I agree that doll’s clothes for tinies is generally more humiliating than being nekkid, so if that’s the goal we’re going shopping. Makeshift is usually delightful, particularly if it’s a skill she’s had to learn recently.

As a rule, I prefer anything that makes her more dependent on me.

@blehb Every day I search my desk for her, but she hasn’t appeared yet.

@sloppy_amy My tongue will find her.

@i-am-insane The simplest answer to this problem is to imagine/create/write a variety of characters and scenarios, so that trying to be realistic will force you into a balance. We have all encountered pleasant and unpleasant people, protectors and predators. And there’s a spectrum in between, of course. And a lot of this can be just internal thoughts or emotions. I don’t think I’ve ever written a story, even the “gentle” ones, where a tiny doesn’t feel threatened or a giant doesn’t feel tempted.

Even for scenarios that are intended to be gentle or cruel, it heightens the impact to have an element of the opposite theme mixed in at some point. Developing your characters will necessarily put them through the whole range of possibilities, so that by the end we have an idea of how they’re going to react to the climax.

Onto the whole minority thing separate tangent but do any others who do art or write stories feel uncomfortable about adding minorities to the shrink fiction.

This issue comes up frequently both in general fiction as well as in smut. In general fiction the main concern is avoiding stereotypes and unintentional racism (often due to ignorance of historical or social context). In smut there is the additional hazard of fetishization of race (even while we’re fetishizing size). Finally, not everyone agrees on racial categories and terminology, so it is perilous to assume your readers share your perspective.

On the other hand, readers like descriptions, particularly when it comes to characters they’re going to be spending a lot of time with. In longer works, a character’s racial/ethnic background may factor in the theme or plot, which requires a complex awareness of multiple perspectives lest the readers spot the author’s ignorance or prejudice. In stroke fiction, of course, physical details are the meat (heh) of the action.

A common mistake is to avoid using any racial/ethnic identifiers at all. The pitfall here is that you run the risk of all your characters being presumed to be white, straight, cis, able, skinny, neurotypical, etc. If you only give physical descriptions to POC or LGBTQ+ or disabled characters, you’re perpetuating the Marked/Unmarked problem. In my earlier work, I have tried to thread this needle by being scanty with physical descriptions but using “ethnically-pronounced” character names to smuggle in ethnic identities. I now regret this practice.

Another concern that requires sensitivity is the issue of representation. Everyone deserves to see themselves in art and literature, and that includes size smut. If they can do it on Bridgerton, we can do it in Size Fantasy. Of course, in visual arts you can easily include all sorts of different-looking people without making it look like diversity for diversity’s sake. In text it’s a little more pronounced, especially if you’re only mentioning physical details for characters in Marked categories.

Finally, one of the chief uses for written smut is letting the reader project themselves upon or at least strongly sympathize with one or more characters. Making the characters “too” specific might create an obstacle for readers who are distracted or disappointed by a certain detail. “I was really into this story until I read that the giant had a goatee. I hate those.” Fortunately, size pervs have a lot of practice with mentally editing smut so it accommodates their preferences.

There’s no easy answer to this except to be attentive and careful and to read stories from a wide range of sources. If you want to write about a character with an unfamiliar background, try to find a test-reader who has that background to help you avoid glaring errors (if you don’t know anyone with that background, reconsider giving it to your character).

Am I wrong to feel this way about desiring vanilla,chocolate and or caramel when it comes to my tiny ladies

One easy tip: Avoid food metaphors for people or the color of their skin (even when you’re writing vore).

For me it varies depending on my mood.

When it comes to the little ladies, I’m afraid I’m exactly the same. In fact, the chief attraction of keeping a “harem” of SWs is for the variety of personalities. Also, nothing flatters my sense of dominance more than having to resolve disputes between petulant tiny women.

The only personality type that irritates me is utterly submissive and worshipful. Too suspicious. I’d probably regard that as a challenge to find some way to provoke her to protest.

Like Foreverlurk, I really enjoy the journey as a shrunken woman adapts to her new size. Enthusiastic or distraught, I want to see her discover what she really wants and needs, and determine if and how I can provide that. I also want to give her the opportunity to entertain me. They can occasionally come up with the most delightful surprises.

Those that were born tiny (like Borrowers) think they know everything. They also act like I’m the freakish one. I don’t want to break that attitude, but I stay alert for an opportunity to demonstrate that she doesn’t quite know everything.

Even when a SW has finally become acclimated to her size and my presence, I still appreciate it when she retains a modicum of indignation whenever I handle her. I like being reminded that I’m overwhelming.
