I’m assuming the question is for any gender (not just fellas), so my own preference has always been Barbie size.
Around eleven inches works best for my own imagination, give or take an inch or two if I’ve lost my wooden ruler.
Main reasons being, is I like creating handheld imagery or general interaction with large hands. So a woman of that size can easily be held in one hand, but there’s enough of her still on view to admire and appreciate… etc. wink
@2ndsolesurvivor I liked it a lot, and found the way Angie happily helped her hubby out with that daily manly chore quite heartwarming.
I like the concept of having unequal size partners co-existing like that, with each having their own skills and attributes to make a relationship work. I find that more refreshing than having the (small) woman regarded as some kind of pet or little sex object or slave.
@olo Ha, I didn’t realise that. He’ll no doubt be pleased you’ve featured his work. I’ll maybe look him up on DA.
Two very contrasting pieces with a common theme, and I think both are quite sad. An interesting read nonetheless and about the right length I’d say (for me anyway).
In shrinking fantasy fiction, I think what dictates whether a story will work for the reader is the chosen size scale, which was too small for me in this case. That’s no criticism of the writing or the theme of course, it’s just a personal thing (and why many of Minimizer’s stories didn’t grab me for the same reason). I’m aware that many people DO like small size scales, so I’m sure you’ll be just fine with this one.
Bottom line is, did you enjoy writing it? You should always write to please yourself, regardless of anything else.
@bobascher Methinks it’s one of those that didn’t need your descriptive witticism Bob. 
Good fun!
