The State of Shrinking

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.

Something tells me that I would love to see what's behind Door #1 - AR AP and Door #2 - SW Plus.

I bet you would.

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.

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!

Which users are allowed to see this, and how does one become a user? Is this a Reboot thing...are you all computer code and I'm a player? Can players become users??



On a more serious note, I've been reading this thread, and trying to think up something to say to contribute to the conversation. But then I came in to a similar issue as what I have in general. I have no artistic drawing talent, and am a little too unsure of my writing skill to create a longer form written piece to contribute. (Working up the nerve to try anyway! But not quite there)

The last few weeks before this one were a bit of a dry spell here, and I actually was thinking more about how I could help keep things active and fun. I think some times, all it takes is a simple question thread like this one to give us a little something to read and interact over. For me, the shrinking content is nice but I love the community and the discussion about it all just as much.

Ha. It was just a pic of the directories I back up from source to backup drive. I sometime save an attachment in a random thread and then link to them with the img tags so only actual users of the process can see them. This is a subforum open to the world after all. Ha!

And no to my brother I am not Sanae Dekomori for switching from "lulz" to saying HA a lot.

Now, I, Oh Zone, wielder of the Mjolnir Shrink Ray, must find a soft undergarment under my bed to rest for the night.

I still don't get why all of the SW content was purged from Porn Hub, yet all of the GTS content stayed? If the reasoning was copyright, would Media Impact and other companies not also want their GTS content removed for copyright?

Just based on the stuff I had curated, I think the Giantess stuff was posted by verified uploaders (ie the company/performer that made them... so like Missa). The rest I think was all shared by average folks just posting it to share. So they were all caught up in the purge.

Mathai,

Hey there...if you've got ideas, or you just want to toss your two cents into the conversation, don't feel like you can't. Everyone is welcome. That's what this forum is all about!

Shrinking content is ALWAYS nice, but I agree with you about the community, and that's actually been something I've been concerned about too. We have very little interaction and I personally miss that. I wish Samara would come back and say Hi. I miss her.

As for your comment about getting up the nerve to do some writing, consider this...when I first started, I was just a lurker until I realized that I wanted to contribute...then I started writing, but I didn't try to go all out with a full novel-length idea. I started small, like say, less than 10 pages. In fact, I think one of my first ideas was based on an X-Files sort of idea, where a girl brings a guy back to her apartment and they make love. When she wakes up, he's preparing to leave, but she discovers that she's shrinking. She quickly dwindles away to nothing as the guy departs. It was quick, it was fun, it was kinda sexy, and it was TERRIBLE...but it was me dipping my toe into the waters. Soon, I was doing the Toobin' Down the River story, then the Shrinking Perfume rewrite, and more.

If you've got an idea, go ahead and give it a shot! I know I'd love to see some stories pop up here for us to read and enjoy. It's been too long.

There was a time when Missa had some really great SW stuff, but I can't find that stuff either.

I do need to be more active with my ideas, I agree. I should probably stop by one of those writing focused sites OhZone suggested earlier here, and see if that helps get my creative juices and my proactive juices flowing!

They weren't. I know uploaders who had both SW and GTS content and only the SW content was purged. Keep in mind it would all be the same company i.e Media Impact.
