NFalc's GTS Archive |

Looking for some other stories to satisfy your GTS fiction needs? Well, Mr. Falke has a couple of leads for you (Gee, I just love using the royal third person). Most of the stories can be found at Asukafan's excellent story archive giantessplanet.com (which is in fact where I've linked to most of them). Those that aren't available on that site (or that I've found slightly better versions for) I've provided other links to.
So, here are, in order, my Top Five GTS Stories of All Time (as of Nov. 20, 2007).
*Update: October 2007. Since Pete's Giantess sites are no longer functioning, many of these links will be dead. You will be able to find most of these stories at Asuka's new archives at giantessworld.net |

1. Maze
by Scott Grildrig And Chelgi
|
|
|
|
(Quick note: The best copy of this story was on the Giantess Magic story archive, the catch being that it's posted there in its original four parts. You'll have to use the main page to navigate the story, which is listed as maze1.txt - maze4.txt).
"Maze" was one of the first GTS stories I ever read, and easily the one that provided my greatest inspiration. Its combination of futuristic sci-fi action, believable characters and killer GTS scenes was addicting and astonishing. Until that point, I hadn't read anything that nailed exactly what I fantasized about. "Maze" took what I was thinking out of my head and splashed it onto my monitor. You can see its inspiration in almost everything I write, most specifically the Planar Shift series. |

2. The Change Trilogy
by D.X. Machina |
|
|
|
Okay, so this isn't technically a single story. It also isn't technically a trilogy (there's four stories involved). It's still the best GTS epic out there, with a storyline that starts small and crescendos out to something that is a far cry from any of the numerous throwaway stories you see on the boards every day. Once again, the thing that makes this story stand out is its insistence on having an actual plot, with realistic characters.
D.X. is one of the leading GTS writers to this day, due to his good story construction, and amazing descriptions. Although the Change Trilogy does have its weak parts (I personally think "Lost in L.A." is a little superfluous) it's still required reading for anyone into GTS stories. |

3. Jack The Giant Killer
by Andrew Nellis (aka The Poison Pen) |
|
|
|
This story would have ranked even higher on my list, but for the fact that its GTS content isn't completely in line with my tastes in GTS fiction. Andrew Nellis is a great writer, period, GTS or no. I've heard tell it's because he himself doesn't have a GTS fetish that he writes so wonderfully. He does it for himself, intellectually, not to cram in tons of useless sex scenes (although there is still plenty of great material, if that's all you're into).
Regardless of the author's motivation, Jack the Giant Killer is an amazing story. It has a flawless sense of tone, effortlessly mimicking noir's overuse of cliches and metaphorical language. It has such a sense of style, and so much character to it, that it's impossible for me to deny it a spot in the top five. |

4. Journal
by e10 |
|
|
|
"Journal" isn't a particularly well-written story in the usual sense, but I'm guessing that this is intentional. e10 has placed himself completely in the shoes of the narrator here, an electrician who admits he has no talent at writing. What makes "Journal" special is the way that it keeps its essential facts so close to its vest: At first, all we know is that there is a girl, and shrunken people and things keep appearing her room. By the end of the story, not only is there an astounding revelation, but we also have a full picture of what life for her room's inhabitants is like. Great description, great plot; this is one of e10's finest. |

5. Stranded
by Scott Davis |
|
|
|
(This story is in parts on the Giantess Magic Story Archive)
"Stranded" is a story that must have taken a lot of courage to write, considering that its first chapter is entirely backstory, and that the interaction doesn't even begin until the third and final part. When the story gets rolling, however, "Stranded" becomes amazingly good, with some great GTS scenarios and good description. This story is so good that it almost feels over too soon. |
