It could be that there are plenty of other people who don't care.

Re: Flu Shots Part Four (Ready 9 17)
As much as I enjoyed the first few chapters, I must say that Part 4 was somewhat of a letdown for me. I'm not a huge fan of the spanking/cruelty-based dialogue, either, but I'm able to look past it to the portions I do enjoy. I felt that the balance in this release was off, and is the first one that I have felt unsatisfied with after reading. My hope is that it's setting up chapter 5 to be significantly better.

Just for the record, I felt like the writing has been above average for this particular series.

Re: Flu Shots Part Four (Ready 9 17)
I feel like the best ending should require Zoe to learn to not be bratty. Making her and Michael have to take care of everyone is the first way that comes to mind, which might require the mom getting younger. Perhaps coming down with the flu, she would need a stronger dosage, which has stronger side effects.

Re: Flu Shots Part Four (Ready 9 17)
I agree. I think a great transition at this point would be for the Mom to suddenly start getting younger and for the little sister to continue to grow older to her Mother's age or even a little older so that she gets too old for her boy toy and has to actually take on the responsibility of being a mother to the two girls (her mother and older sister) and the brother could get older too with some ramifications. You have yet to an AP comic with a mother-daughter switch (that I can recall) where the daughter becomes middle-aged hot MILF. Just a thought, I know I would love to see that.

Re: Flu Shots Part Four (Ready 9 17)
We left reasonable plot progression behind some years ago. The entire crux of Dream Tales' works is to milk the premise for its fetish content. His writing and situations are as repetitive as Gary Pranzo's camera work.
These are his passion projects and if I had the money to burn I would probably be doing the same damn thing. You guys expect more but he's always delivered exactly the same thing every time: sacrosanct power due to size being abused, a reversal of roles, tormentor becomes tormented. And there it stops, every time. No morals or "ending." Just different set pieces milking the feeling of revenge. It gets more ridiculous and completely lacks self-awareness when multiple reversals take place.

Re: Flu Shots Part Four (Ready 9 17)
See, I honestly thought he was making enough off of these to keep producing them, which is why the complaints had me puzzled. If he's doing it at a loss because it's what *he* wants to see, that makes a lot more sense.

Re: Flu Shots Part Four (Ready 9 17)
I haven't bought since the second comic because of many reasons. While I enjoy seeing multiple comics of characters interacting over the same plot, things seemed to be going too slow. The art seems to have gone down from the work from before, The writing from what I hear is worse. Mainly, I didn't buy any more because it became apparent after the second it was going to be the same boring story. "Younger is prepubescent and then becomes an 18 year old that looks like a 25 year old with a body that most kill for and always taller than even the mom. The older becomes younger and was bitchy but becomes whiny. The role reversal becomes a power play. Younger steals the older one's boy-toy as she grows up. Blonde is always the one getting older. Apparently being anything other than blonde in Dreamtale's eyes is basically being akin to an untouchable. I've also noticed that with the new art style that the brother character looks uncannily similar to the brother character of the growing shrinking family comic. But I guess that's the new style. Personally, they all look annoying, and hearing what I think they are supposed to sound like in my head is worse. The formerly younger sister needs to be taken down a peg. HARD. And for us Lesbians in the group, this whole fawning over a guy is a drag. Or worse, when the two female leads DO lesbian things, it's only while a guy watches or for the guy. Can we please get men out of the picture.
And the sisters thing. Please, please if you make another new character list, don't let them be sisters or Suzy and Marilyn. Though, as of right now, I wouldn't mind Suzy and her rival over these new batch. Preferably, Less rivals. That conflict is nearly in every comic. And if rivals, not over a man. Why not friends doing some fun exploration. OR hell, a mother and daughter bit that isn't the same as 'sex in a bottle'. What we see here is the voices of those who buy the material you make to keep funds. Customers not happy means funds will reduce. And not in the AR/shrinking way. I don't see an easy way for the comic to make a comeback at stage 4 of it's series. Perhaps if we see other people in the background also having the same issues? Perhaps hear their comments or even a "On the other side of town, a similar story was about to unfold." Leave this family for a while, explore a new angle, perhaps a Lesbian couple finding they will have to settle to pretend to be mother and daughter for awhile and then date people their new age. Then return to the original family to: "Meanwhile, Madison seems to not be faring as well either." And do a quick recap on what happened between 'episodes'.

It sounds like perhaps a different writer is what is called for. I'd happily donate Be Mine.

Re: Flu Shots Part Four (Ready 9 17)
I liked it.
1. She shrinks again, but still doesn't become a baby, which is good for my preferences. 2. The brother grows, which further emphasizes her size. 3. She doesn't regress mentally exactly, but something similar happens which makes it more realistic for me. She's so crushed by the AR/AP, that she needs comfort from her mom. I can imagine a person really behaving like that in real life in this scenario. 4. It feels like a very good value. It was much longer than I expected. Not more pages necessarily, but it felt like a lot of stuff happened. I was sure the chapter ended, but there was still more. All in all, assuming the bratty kids later get cut down to size, this is shaping up to be one of my favorites.

It's something I've said in one of the previous reviews I did in this thread. This is the ONLY way this story is going to redeem itself. But I'm excited to see what happens in the next couple of chapters! Because if this happens, it's going to be one hell of an awesome turn about.
