The State of Shrinking

Hey All,
So I just wanted to ask what you all think the state of shrinking in general is... I mean there are some great comics and stories coming out, but in terms of movies/clips I feel like it's just been dead, especially since like PornHub purged all the user-uploaded content (lost a lot of SW videos I had curated there).

But like, I see a lot of giantess/humiliation POV videos, but that's mostly guys. There hasn't been much in terms of a woman getting smaller in like the last two years (maybe an over-exaggeration).

But what do you think? I think the general field of shrinking is not good right now, but maybe I just don't know where to look.

The state of shrinking is West Virginia. The pols there have convinced everyone that they just can't do anything else but dig coal, so everyone with a brain is leaving and it is becoming a republican stronghold.

Well, I mean, that's one possibility... but have you see Iowa lately? LOL

Re: The State of Shrinking

Hi Dolly.

Well, of course, true to this site, my main media interest is in the process of shrinking.

It's not too bad, really.

You have inksgirls pumping out content almost every day. Iks is on deviantart and twitter and patreon. I recommend patreon! Some great sequences there.

There are a lot of good comics, like shrink fan's, but I need like three comics to satisfy me. ha

writing.com has a treasure trove of interactives and some have my kind of slow shrinking and/or shrink spurts. Markus has some great ones. And the Fire Emblem SW has some excellent writing. There's a lot there. It's a shame you have to pay a little to make it work right. (cyoc.net SHOULD BE a good source, but it's mostly sm. bearchive used to have a lot but it's not that active with Sw these days and/or it just seems harder to search via google these days). (Edit: just checked and I have 40 favs at writing.com bookmarked through the site!)

For mmd and such, there is one talented shrinker who has posted a lot of really sexy stuff. twitter:@seta53494366 ( セタ ) He takes a pause a lot though. Tappi is also good, but not prolific lately. Naomi has potential. And there are others.

You can find a lot of good stuff on twitter #sizetwitter if you hunt a bit.

Deviantart has some good stuff, but I still have problems searching there with the new layout, especially for stories.

I figured you you can link this - https://www.deviantart.com/search/de...nt&q=shrinking to get right to the most recent! Oh yeah!

giantesscity has a lot, but not too many slow shrinks lately. giantessworld is little better but both are mostly growth not shrinking.

Of course, I write for myself a lot. Lately my writing has gotten kinda simplistic but it gets me there. ha.

I've been thinking of putting some stuff on an interactive to see if I can fuel some of my style of shrinks. But I've gotten shy about sharing lately. Not sure why.

I started to record some audio, under a different user name, but I'm not that good an actress and someone keeps interrupting me like clockwork. ha

Oh, and I haven't been into live action shrinks for a while, since the special effects and acting are usually lacking.

Hhmm. I really should get back to drawing too, for that matter.

But I'm so busy with rl anyway.


BTW - very funny, sai. :P

Re: The State of Shrinking

Dolly,

First, let me say that I'm encouraged that someone has come forward to ask this question.

Personally, having been a SW fan going all the way back to the old Yahoo SW Forums back in the day (Hey Lorekeep, how ya doin' pal?), I miss the interaction that we had back then. Samara, Minimizer, Lorekeep, Talon (I know you're still out there too, buddy), Sally, Mercutio, the list could go on, but honestly, there was a time when we had a place to get together and spend time having fun, even if we were just fantasizing about our favorite little fetish.

I'd say that part of the problem is simply the fact that we grew older, moved on, and things changed. Some of us have gone from being 20-somethings who were living in our parents' basements (or renting out a room) to now being 40 or even 50-somethings who have families, kids, careers that take up a large part of our lives, and doesn't leave a lot of time for those activities we used to participate in.

I do appreciate the fact that there are some places that we can go to enjoy artist endeavors. The Deviantart site is a good place, but it's kind hit or miss unless you know WHO to search for, or specifically WHAT you're looking for. Oh, there are some folks who are doing some very nice work (Minimizer, for example, is still out there doing his best).

Next, we have Shrink Fan Comics, which I like...but the AMOUNT of content, while excellent on it's QUALITY, is short on QUANTITY. One comic per month, even if it IS quality work, only goes so far. I cancelled my subscription because there were few updates in the Gallery section where people could make suggestions of one-piece art that we could enjoy, and with only one comic a month, I figure it's better to wait six months or so before re-upping to get a decent number of comics to enjoy for awhile. Sadly, I've seen where the other fetish sites of this group (Vore Fan, Expansion Fan, Giantess Fan) have more than one comic a month. THAT would be wonderful, but obviously, if you don't have enough artists to do the work, you can't expect multiple issues to come out quickly. Also, due to the QUALITY work, you've also got the problem of many multi-issue stories that slow the rate of new content because obviously you have to finish older storylines before moving on, right? I'm still waiting for the end to the Small Fortune story, which has been a mainstay since Shrink Fan Comics began years ago. But it isn't the only one, so it will have to wait until it gets put into the queue, right?

Personally, my biggest problem has been that while there ARE sites out there with shrinking content, we just don't know where it is. Look at the Shrinking Websites link at the top of our group. When was the last time it was revised to remove all the dead content, and add all the relevant content? Hell, Minimizer's ORIGINAL website, which has been dead for years, is STILL listed. Perhaps it's time we updated THAT information, so we could have an idea where to go to frequent sites with our favorite fetish.

As for stories, I speak as one of the original story-writers of the SW Forum who used to pump out story after story for free for folks to enjoy. I've still got all of them in my computer, by the way. There are some folks who have basically decided to publish their work on Amazon's Kindle site and sell their stories for a few bucks per copy. There are some quality offerings, like those from SciDram - Let the Chips Fall and Short Time for example. Minimizer has one of his stories there from what I saw. But for the quality stories we see, there are DOZENS of average or even BAD stories from folks just pumping out crap to try to make money. I've read a few of them, and sad to say, some folks need to come up with some fresh ideas, good story-writing, and better plots than some of the stuff I saw.

Now I'm going to put this out, and I hope I don't come across as being arrogant, but I've been working on ONE story for a long time now. We're talking about years in the making. Mercutio / TIE Defender, if you're still out there, you know the one I'm talking about. DARE TO DREAM has been a story near and dear to my heart for some time, and I've struggled to get it finished. No, scratch that. It IS finished, but it isn't ready. Someone told me that if you're going to truly publish something, you can't publish the first draft...or the second draft. You have to be willing to go through it, line-by-line and cut out stuff that doesn't work, rewrite stuff that doesn't flow properly, be willing to even cut stuff that you personally loved, but it just didn't make the story the best quality it could be. THAT is what I've been doing for the past year or two, in between being a father, a husband, a provider, and just a guy wanting to relax some times. The story is ALMOST there, and I promise each and every one of you who are reading this, if you ever read some of my work in the past (TDLAmador...Toobin' Down the River, sound familiar? Or maybe Always Follow the Directions?), the story I'm trying to finish is NOT one of these 20-40 page Kindle jerk-fest things that you may have seen. We're talking 66+ Chapters, and over 1,000 pages of story, which looks to be a TRILOGY when it is finished. Not a 5-minute read. Not even a 5-hour read (unless you're a speed-reader). This is a story that you can enjoy for days, with shrinking, with dialogue, with a plot that I guarantee will keep you wanting more.

Now I admit, I just spent time tooting my own horn. But where are the other folks who used to be here announcing themselves to the group? Where are the stories? Where is the content? I hate to admit it, but I used to enjoy the one-page artwork from LBH...but even he stopped posting new content (I miss your stuff, it was fantastic!). Yes, there may be content out there, but we either don't communicate its existence to everyone else...or we just don't know where it is. Yes, there used to be some stuff on PornHub. SOME of it was good. Some old SW content has up and vanished, and no one knows where it went to. Some of it has even gone behind a paywall and is expensive to purchase. I used to find the Shrinking Bride clips, but that disappeared. The Office Space video was good, but that disappeared (Red Parrot Productions, I believe?). If we don't communicate where it can be found, and perhaps update the Links for Shrinking Women sites, all we've got are the dead links that lead us nowhere.

Yeah I guess that's my issue. I haven't really gotten into shrinking literature; for me, shrinking is a more visual thing: I need to *see* someone shrinking rather than read a description. So the lack of videos has been a major letdown for me. I love the comics, but the videos were the real thing.

In my case, I had a ton of vids curated on PH and just like that they were gone and I can't seem to find them uploaded anywhere else. I've been slowly buying them, but I'm like seriously worried their main stores will close before I can collect them all.

But yes, I agree, I wish there was more communication so folks can find them again... but as you said, folks grow up and move on.

You seriously didn't save them? OHMY!

Anyway, the thing about stories over videos is that picture your mind makes can be perfect. Unless you have amazing special effects, good acting and a good script, it's easy to break the illusion. Even my fav shrinking clips are marred by stupid effects. And a story can be longer and more intense.

Oh well. To each their own.

Also - back up your stuff peeps!

OhZone,

ABSOLUTELY! Even back when Minimizer still had his original site, I tried to make sure that any stories, images, clips, whatever I could find I would copy and save.

My original stories are safe on a flash drive...cause you never know when your hard drive will take a crapper on you. As for you enjoying stories...good authors don't just SAY that someone shrank, they tell you HOW they shrank. It's oh so much more fun to have a really good description to give you a sense of the mystery involved.

And, yes, your stories are the best. Your literature is lit, as are a lot of the authors who frequent this place, like qzar and scidram!

Yes, the descriptions of the shrinks are vital. I love when you can feel like you're the one shrinking. When you see everything rising above you. When common objects get like your furniture, your bed, your clothes get larger. When you feel like your partner is becoming more dominant, especially if she started out shorter than you. When you feel so small and insignificant and you lose control of your dress, and your - everything.

Hey there! Thanks so much for the shout-out, and it's great to see your post!

Yeah, you're right. We're older now (I'm 50) and with that, there are different responsibilities. I've got a few new M/f novel ideas still in my head, and I may be adding one more oldie-but-goodie to Amazon Kindle soon, but I haven't stopped writing. Hoping you've enjoyed the ShrinkFan titles by me--and another is coming out May 1--and I've got a bunch of shorts (around 2000 words) over on my DeviantArt page.

I look forward to your epic work. Good luck with that!
