Surviving the Tiny Autumn
September! Not as prolific as August was, but still some good additions to "Tiny SurvivalOpen in new Window.. Thanks again to everyone who contributed and all those who sent me gift points - I should be able to renew my upgraded membership this month!

What did we get this month?

FanOfSmall Author IconMail Icon provided two chapters. In "Trek at TwilightOpen in new Window. we return once more to the outdoor survival with the hiker girl. It's been a while! "The FountainOpen in new Window. branches another potential entry to city hall. More options and paths are always good. I myself have added to both these entries, and invite others to read and contribute themselves!

imareadthis gave us "Caught by the Birthday GirlOpen in new Window., expanding the mythology of the shrinking technology with some serious implications. I've added myself to this, and look forward to seeing where it leads! "NegotiationsOpen in new Window. has a shrunken adult attempting to prove himself an equal to a young boy. "Uh OOpen in new Window. gives us a classic death scene, but "Nothing to cry overOpen in new Window. does provide a way around it, leading to another unaware adventure with a family.

Heartache Author IconMail Icon wrote two different approaches to the ear. One, "You climb to the outer layers of the ear, above...Open in new Window. is an unaware crawling around a head, and the other, "Try to communicate with Rachel, tell her you me...Open in new Window. reveals the shrunken adventurer to the Andersons: can that possibly end well for our hero? Again, as with all the (non-death!) chapters I've mentioned, I've added to these myself, and implore those who feel so inclined to pour themselves in as well.

A few chapters from myself, unrelated to the brilliance outlined above:

"An Adult ConversationOpen in new Window. and "Not Big Enough to StayOpen in new Window. are two branching paths from the story where our protagonist has spooked the Andersons by leaving a note for them, and now tags along as they flee the house in fear of him. If they knew he was only 1/8" tall, they wouldn't be so scared...

"A Trite Cliche Earns No FavourOpen in new Window., "Little and Large, On the Road TogetherOpen in new Window., "Rebellious Teen TitanOpen in new Window., "Laying Down The TruthOpen in new Window. and "A Fine LineOpen in new Window. are further discussions between a 3/8" hero and Dahlia Klitch, the teenager into whose care he's been entrusted. Can he talk his way into her good graces and earn his freedom? Five different paths, and some with more than one chapter along their length!

"No Ant Left BehindOpen in new Window. is back to the smallest of all, sitting at 1/32" in the neighbour's garden, earning the aid of ants.

"Sleeping In a Toe CraterOpen in new Window. and "The Home of the LifeguardOpen in new Window. are at different stages of the beach adventure with different giants. Will our survivalist ever get any peace from them?

Now, the future. Adventures with the Andersons and the beach family has me wondering if I should go back to the Gillespies (kudos to those who recognise the name off the top of their head!) and push those lengthy storylines even further. It's been a while, and there's lots of continuity, which is why I got kinda burned out on those for a bit, but having so many talented writers adding here, getting to bounce off their wild ideas, has given me a little extra energy!
