Awesome start, can't wait for more
8717162
Shouldn't be waiting long. I submitted it yesterday and the first three chapters are gonna release days apart, so there should be another chapter tomorrow.
Great second chapter! Can't wait to see how much bigger she gets in the next one.
8719957
Given that there’s still plenty of chapters to go, I wouldn’t get your hopes up too much.
I can't wait to see how tall AJ gets.
8739918
I’m sure she’ll be satisfyingly big by the end of it all.
more
8749434
Gonna have to wait until Friday, I’m afraid. Updates are weekly for the time being.
Yknow, at some point you just gotta think enough is enough. As much of an issue as it is I can't imagine AJ hasn't gone to twilight or the princesses to ask for magical intervention
8800653
Without giving too much away, you should wait until the second Scaled Up story to see why the Princesses can’t offer much help.
Besides, if you don’t know the cause of your random growth spurts, who’s to say it can be fixed? Could just be a weird but natural phenomenon that magic can’t fix. Twilight and the Princesses are knowledgeable, sure, but even they have limits to their helpfulness.
While I like how big she's getting there will be a limit right? I mean personally anything past 50 foot is just ridiculous
Why 50 foot? Cause it's any bigger and things become ridiculous to get a proper seance of interaction scale. 50 foot is also about the average size of mobile suits in gundam witch you often see hold people or people standing in palms and on shoulders, most average transformers in g 1 are in the 30-35 foot range (using starscream as him and his seeker brothers are the majority of the cons army and the biggest population slice of cybertroinas given as their are 30 seekers of starscream's body type.
8802159
There is a limit, yes.
And you’ll be pleased to know it is well under the 50ft range you mentioned. This was all about interactivity and we knew that making someone bigger than fifty foot would begin to make things awkward.
8802262
Actually it's pain full to say but 90% of macro/micro I seen has Giantess in the 100 foot or more range or micros under 4inches yet they still act like they can interact normally with others. Actually having commonsense in scale is aggravating rare. Like its easier to find good well written displacement stories!
8802351
The thing about scale is that it's hard to visualise. You can walk out on the street and see a skyscrape and think "What would it be like if someone was that big?" But you can't know for sure because the building doesn't exactly have a sign on it saying how big it is.
You might see a car park entrance that says "Maximum height; 13'9" and think that's a pretty big height too. But you can see it a little better than the previous one.
Same for micro. You can get a ruler and look at 3 or 4 inches on the ruler, but it's hard to visualise the features.
I suppose that's why a lot of stories either get their scales mixed up or gloss over the size altogether, instead opting for purely one-sided dialogue and the like. If I ever wrote a story where the giant was larger than an interactable range, I'd either split the perspectives between the giant and an onlooker, or just keep it solely one-sided.
Though I suppose in fiction such as MLP, you have magic in play, so it's not unreasonable that the excessive sizes can interact still. Well, they might not be able to physically interact, but verbally is probably feasible. There's probably a spell for that sort of thing. Hell there's probably a spell for most inconveniences in giant stuff when it comes to magic.
Ooh now Applebloom is growin, and quickly!
8822227
Fun fact, this chapter here? It’s the jumping off point for one of the side stories. So is the chapter after this actually.
Except the novel that the second chapter jumps off into is complete and just needs proofreading.
Just a little bit of insider info for you there, Cosmo.
8823125
Im totally lookin forwards to it!
And wew an implication that the other 2 CMC might be growin
8824309
Honestly, Cosmo, I wish I could share the entirety of my plans with you.
I know you’d just love them, but then I suppose you’d lose that element of surprise, right?
8825179
No spoilerinos for sure!! Im really enjoyin this story
Dude the feels!
8835319
Don’t worry, it’s not all bad feels! There’s some good ones in the later stuff!
Dawww, poor Butter n Applejack. I'd really hit them for being so stupid, lol
8878373
Sympathy through violence, interesting method.
They’re just getting used to things though. I’m sure they’ll stop being stupid soon enough.
8878729
Not them, I meant the cops XD.
8879053
Oooooooooh, yeah that's reasonable.
Though I imagine if Applejack had struck them, she might do some serious damage. Probably best leave it to Twilight to come back and give them a hit for their troubles.
8879077
True, though it wasn't her fault that her shirt accidently ripped for her orange globes to be out in full display! XD
8880962
I'm sure they went straight over to Rarity to give her a proper tongue thrashing before she makes things with a bit more resilience to Applejack's swelling...assets.
I know you make a mention of it in this chapter, but I'm having difficulty seeing where Butter comes up to on Applejack as of now.
Also, are you ever gonna make Applejack stop growing or give an explanation for her enormous height? It's honestly starting to bug me that this keeps happening and the town has to constantly adjust to her increasing height. Applejack is still best pony and I am liking the story, but I'm just not liking the situation she's in right now.
8904597
There’s no mention of why she’s growing in this story no. It’s something of an underlying theme that gets explored in subsequent stories. Like the next story explains a fair chunk, and it continues into the other stories.
Also Butter is 6ft. So just use initialman and put Applejack’s height and Butter’s in and you’ll have a good idea.
Yes, she stops growing. Hell, in the story that directly follows this one. Like, actual continuation of this one, she doesn’t grow at all. So yes, things like this are already planned to be sorted out. It’s unfortunate that you aren’t enjoying it though.
8904756
Like I said, I still enjoy reading this story, but it's just frustrating having to see Applejack struggle with all of what she goes through. Although that is made up for with her moments with Butter as they are genuinely cute and make me want to see them interact more. I just wanted to get my thoughts out now before I had a total meltdown.
8904790
Y’know what? I’m gonna do you a favour. I’ll put the next chapter up now, it should be exactly what you’re looking for.
cliche 1: character doesnt like what someone else does but still doesnt say anything because ??????
8919309
Oh wowee, I can’t wait for cliché two.
Okay, Pinkie's advances are starting to irritate me. Why has Butter not just nutted up (no pun intended) and told pinkie that he was uncomfortable with her almost predatory nature?
8946293
Because Butter is quick to fluster and Pinkie is quick to jump on that.
Plus, Pinkie doesn't always get the message the first time, or the second time, or the third time.
At least this is what I was going for.
8946426
Fair enough, Just thought I'd bring it up before someone else did. But still, why is Pinkie so into Butter? I mean, he's a good guy, but why can't she see that he's perfectly happy being with Applejack?
8946462
She can see that, and that’s fine. But in her mind she sees the two of them having fun together and she doesn’t see why she can’t be a part of that as well. Like some sort of mistress that has no intention of splitting the pair up, she just wants the Butter Jack experience as well.
Like, did you ever see the anime/manga of Kanokon? The way the fox woman and the wolf woman fight over the main character, was the vibe I was going for. Especially the way it concluded.
So after reading through this I think it's pretty good but there are 2 major issues:
8987789
Some fair critique, always welcome of course. I'll address your points in order.
1. Some of the speed of the writing had to do with the project itself starting as short snippets of life. This was originally a commission by jsk244 to have fun little slice of life stories about him and Applejack as she grrew bigger. As we progressed we began to structure it more until finally it became a novel. A general plot was devised and placed in some chapters, but largely the original format is still there. This isn’t something for people looking for a thrilling adventure but more the general audience of macro pony lovers to enjoy. With a touch of mystery.
2. A bit of the above applies to this as well. Since it was slice of life snippets a lot of the general panic or planning to fix it wasn’t thought about. Once the story began to progress we decided to treat it like how the series itself deals sometimes with odd or crazy things - with a touch of ‘meh’ and a lot of ‘huh’. Sure there’s panic and concerns at times, albeit more in the future stories tied into this series, but otherwrise it’s similar to how the Monster Registration Act handles it. Typical Ponyville day to dayness. The Manehatten chapter was a bit silly admittedly for putting her there without more panic, but I can’t imagine a world where dragons, sirens and changelings exist (oh my) would have much to panic about a giantess waltzing around if she’s not outright attacking things. If anything jsk244 feels it’s amusing to imagine everyone going about their days gripping about not seeing around her legs more than ‘oh god she’s going to crush me’ or ‘oh god my cart!’
Well, that was a rather abrupt way to end the story.
I usually don't comment. And if I do I usually don't give a bad comment. But I have to say boo on you my friend boo on you. The one type of story that I hate more than anything is open-ended stories. Now you're leaving us guessing and wanting what happened. Although with a pony named shrinky dinks it's obvious what probably happened. But unless it's put down in text we truly will never know. For all we know now Pinky and Butter are 36 ft 10 in. So I say again boo on you my friend excellent story but boo on you
9066057
Heh, honestly? I wrote the first chapter of the next one and I wanted to put it up as the final chapter of this one to alleviate such feelings. Buuuuut, due to the way things got scheduled, the next part of this has a story that takes place between it.
So, my bad on that one.
So does anyone else start hearing the background music for Phineas and Ferb when they are working on a project, while the CMC was doing activities together.
So butter thought taking his 20 something feet tall partner to a party full of ponies, with masks that prevent them talking was good idea?
If anything happens, it's clearly his fault. Also am I detecting Butter pie with Butter jack?
Stop! Your waving a red flag in front of a bull!
9178635
Butter doesn’t think his plans through. Ever.
And you may be getting the slightest hint of ButterPie to go along with that sweet ButterJack.
9180615
Not so much red as it is pink imo
And not so much a bull as it a baker who has a tendency to get caught up in all manner of shenanigans.
