Hey friends!

I've created something I wanted to share with those who might be interested.

I'm a big visual-thinker. Whenever I write something, I like to listen to music of the same tone, and look at pictures that get me into the mood and inspire my creative mind. So, over the past few days, I used the Sora AI Image Generator to create images of the cast of "A Shrunken Son". Then, I figured maybe other people might find them neat, so I uploaded them to DeviantArt, and give each image a little description too.

Now, let me take an aside to talk about my thoughts on AI, since it's a contentious topic:

I genuinely believe AI can, sometimes, be used as a tool (like for brainstorming, or problem-solving). I also think it can be fun to use as a casual little hobby, kinda like what I did with these images.

What I do not believe is that AI should ever be viewed as more important than actual human-made content. I don't think people should take credit for AI art as if they did more than just type a few sentences into a generator and hitting "GO". And I certainly don't think people should hide their intentions, or worse, try to pass off/sell AI-made content as their own work. I think that's pretty bad, and should never be encouraged.

That's why I'm being up-front about these images being AI, made just-for-fun, and nothing more than that.

That rant aside, I also wanted to mention that these images of the "A Shrunken Son" characters don't need to be taken as 100% gospel. If your headcanon has a mole under Ashley's left eye, or has Sydney's chest a size bigger, that's totally fine. I really made these for myself, and just wanted to share with anyone who might enjoy them too.

Here's the link: https://www.deviantart.com/neophoenixstriker/gallery/97048117/a-shrunken-son

Also, expect images for the cast of "A Shrunken Father" and "A Shrunken Wife" sometime soon. Also, while I'm prioritizing the main cast and supporting characters, if you've got a character you'd like to see me generate an image for (maybe from a one-off chapter or a minor storyline), feel free to send me a message!

Thanks, and take care everyone.
Hey everyone!

If you've been wondering where I've dipped off to for the past few weeks, I'm finally able to explain! I've been hard at work on a secret project, and I'm super excited to finally be able to unveil it. I'm pleased to announce the launch of a brand-new interactive story, titled A Shrunken Wife!

Here's the link to check it out: https://www.writing.com/main/interactive-story/item_id/2334491-A-Shrunken-Wife

As you might be able to tell from the title, it's set in the Shrunken Universe. Specifically, it follows in the footsteps of my own A Shrunken Son and A Shrunken Father, and more specifically than that, it takes place at the same time as A Shrunken Father. Now, that being said, absolutely no prior knowledge of these stories or this universe is needed to have fun with this new story, so by all means, please jump in and give it a read. I'd love to know what you think!

Alongside this, I've got another update.

Most of you didn't know, but I've been unemployed for the last six months or so, and have been desperately job-searching for the next step in my career. I'm excited to say I've finally landed a job! Now, of course, that means that once I start in a few weeks, my writing output will slow a bit. Rest assured, I'll still be adding when I can, and I promise my quality won't go down!

Thanks for reading, for checking out A Shrunken Wife, and I hope you all take care!

I can't wait to see more of this!
Hey friends! Two quick updates for anyone interested!

1) I just wrote another article-type item and posted it publicly to my portfolio. I'll include a link to it here as well. It's a tips-and-tricks guide on how to create/manage a giantess/shrinking interactive here on Writing.com, building upon my years of experience to hopefully inspire other authors, or at the very least share my thoughts on the process! I hope you enjoy giving it a look!

Link: https://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/2329738-Tips-To-CreateManage-a-GT...

2) For anyone who cares, I'll be taking a break from writing any interactive chapters during this month of November, as I'll be participating in non-giantess-related writing for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I'll be back in full swing to cover more chapters in December (and trust me, I've got some great ideas for some Shrunken Father storylines).

During this chapter-writing break, however, I will still actively be logging into Writing.com once or twice daily to check in on things and read other people's contributions! So I'll definitely still be available to chat if anyone has the need to reach out and contact me! I totally welcome it!

Enjoy your November, friends!
Hey everyone!

I just created an item in my portfolio that is an analysis/compilation of the various archetypes of characters in GTS interactive stories on this website. I'm not sure why I was compelled to create this, but I thought it could be fun to compile and talk about the most common archetypes of characters in the genre. For each archetype, I briefly explain how these characters work, and then I linked to a few different examples.

It's not a comprehensive article yet, and I may very well add more archetypes later. But for now, it's a good start.

If this interests you, feel free to check it out here: https://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/2325237-Archetypes-of-Giantess-Ch...

Fun read and definitely see these in your stories and many others, a good tool for new writers making their own interactives and need help fleshing out their cast.
