Having a short story, with shrinking, yet shrinking is not involved in the central conflict, is a quite tall order.

I agree that surrender to despair is not fun. Shrinking as the call to adventure in the hero's journey is my favorite. I've been in kind of a funk lately, maybe we should try writing.

Pertaining to sex, consent should always a priority.

You're mistaking the Hero's Journey, which is a staple of media, to consensual sex.

I'm asking that the one shrinking desire it, or at the very least, not be forced against their expressed will.

I understand some people like shrinking with the "poetic justice" or just "get one's just deserts" theme.

32 of the comics are explicit in that it's done to either control someone or as a punishment.

I think that there is a much broader story to be made then rehashing the "Shrinking as a punishment" or using it to have direct power over someone.

One of the best comics recently was "A sneak Peak" and while I was not a fan of it for the hetero love, I really enjoyed the story itself where the shrinking was used as a tool for fun.


"The Little things in Life" and "Life Diminished" were also great stories, especially "Life Diminished" where it followed the slice of life of a woman living with her reduction as one might in a normal situation brought smaller.

"Micro Gravity" also used shrinking as a tool to get a job done and "Clearance Sale: Every Inch Must Go", while originally a mistake, was altered into a later willing (by everyone but the first and last participants) reduction as a fashion fad.

Even "Witches Gone wild" and "Invisible Girl" had positive views on shrinking where the later was a seemingly biological process that was a natural thing to occur, extreme smallness aside.

These are good stories that use shrinking as a plot device and a central conflict that don't use shrinking as a crutch to inflict punishment or the threat of explicit harm to the characters. They are an adventure to read and show that stories don't need rape and sexual assault, or threat of, to be a good read.
