G/t Writer Appreciation Challenge

🖋 G/t Writer Appreciation Challenge🖋

Just in time for February! Let's show the writers in the community some extra attention and engagement and let them feel our appreciation 💕

This challenge involves interacting with others, so please remember to be respectful and have fun! This is a great opportunity to interact with new creators or a wonderful excuse to leave some extra love on a fic that's near and dear to your heart!

the tension that comes with locking eyes with the human as they catch you borrowing like bro are we gonna kiss lmao

Day 2: Scenarios I wish I saw more often...

The giant in the situation being the helpless/captive one 👀

And just in general, unexpected power dynamics/shifts between the giant and tiny characters! Whether a seemingly weak character is revealed to be a size shifter, or the tiny character is actually the one giving the orders and holds power over the giant characters, etc.

Morally grey characters! I'd love to see more characters in G/t stories that walk the line between being perfect angels and straight-up evil. Sympathetic motives with questionable actions?? Yes please.

Horror?? There is so much potential in G/t for terror that goes beyond fearplay. I love fearplay that gives me butterflies--give me that every day of the week. But also sometimes I wanna be TERRIFIED 💖

More fairies in general 😘

🖋 G/t Writer Appreciation Challenge🖋

Giants having to reach through windows or doors to snatch tinies up in moments of urgency..... no time to say anything, just blindly feeling around, digits bumping into and moving furniture, until fingertips find a familiar silhouette and they wrap their hand round the tiny's body and engulf them in their hold; pulling them out of there, like they weight nothing, with very little the tiny can do. Extremely good if the giant and tiny don't know each other very well and this is their first, very frightening instance of physical contact. Even better if they DO know each other well, and the tiny has become almost desensitised to how big, strong and frightening the giant is until their gargantuan hand just bursts into the room and snatches them up; and they have this sudden wave of panic because yes, they know and trust this person, but they've also just had a great reminder of how dangerous they could be.

Probably too many for one ask but I didn't want to miss anyone out lol

What’s Aedes' sleep schedule like?

Aedes is nocturnal by nature- It's easiest to prey on humans among other things in the dark/while they're sleeping. Sunlight tends to make him feel open and exposed, where as darkness acts almost as a security blanket for him. Though his sleeping habits are notably impacted by the presence of June...

What does June absolutely need to have to fall asleep?

As hinted at in the first chapter of Bite Me, June sleeps with an open window- she needs a room cold and preferably having fresh air.

Does Sal have any hobbies?

ABSOLUTELY - That lil gremlin is always looking for new things to do/try. He loves working with his hands, crafting tools, wood working, even sewing (specifically accessories for his 8 legged ladies). A lot of his hobbies are born out of necessity for his life style (foraging, climbing, hunting, etc..) but if we're talking specifically for fun/to pass time he loves to take things apart. Lil man loves to figure out how things work and will disassemble and attempt to reassemble things he's interested in. Do not leave him unattended with valuables.

What’s Betty's favorite food?

Betty is SPOILED! She particularly likes crickets as they're more fun to hunt, but taste wise she has a bit of a sweet tooth fang and and Sal absolutely spoils her with strawberries from time to time. You know those videos of pet owners putting together those very extra meals for their pets? That is 100% Sal with Betty. He insists she prefers Rosey Maple Moths, and will pair it with a nectar source to make it "extra special/pretty" for his precious girl. He's even taken to cooking isopods/potato bugs for her as an occasional treat.

What’s something dumb Mark's embarrassed about?

Ironically enough- his height. Mark is around 5ft3 is fairly self conscious about it.

What gestures does Bram really appreciate? How do you get on their good side?

Value wise Bram deeply respects courage, specifically being able to make sacrifices for others. He's not fond of people pleasing niceties and much prefers direct and blunt communication.

Tangible gestures?

He likes food.

Feed him and it goes straight to his heart (Homeboy craves to be nurtured).

How well can Dawn bake?

Dawn is quite the baker, and cook in general. She's close with a few Mennonites (who also happen to run a local bakery) and learned a lot of her baking techniques though them. She doesn't bake sweets too often, usually making them for Holidays/special occasions, though she does make her own bread!

What’s something Tamius will never understand?

Women

Tamius doesn't see the appeal of sports, more specifically high intensity/contact sports. He understands the joys of competition, as well as being physically active, and being able to defend oneself is important- yet the thought of doing it for some self imposed sense of duty? Fun? Not out of preparation/ self preservation, but to put your body through undue strain and harm for what? the amusement of others? Baffling.

Does Rose have a green thumb or are they a plant killer?

FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK THIS.

Rose is a plant hoarder. Her entire home is just filled with greenery (Which Tamius quite appreciated in terms of quick/easy hiding spots).

Theres been some chatter going on about G/t writers not getting enough recognition in the community- I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a little writers spotlight/prompts/challenge month to not only encourage writers, but encourage others to reblog, comment and find other creators in the community.
