Welcome to Stør’s worst nightmare 😃🫠😟😨

🍯Honey I shrunk the kids + The Biggest Heart 🤎

Everytime Stør finds out he’s grown, even a bit, he has nightmares he’ll keep growing… and growing… and growing…

No one knows how big Stør will get… he’s constantly afraid he’ll grow too big that his friends and family will be too small for him to see anymore. That he’ll accidentally hurt or kill someone. He fears being alone and rejected by people due to his giant size. 🥲

*FRANTICALLY SCRAMBLES IN.*

Please answer -huff- this!! Hurry!! They're Coming-!!

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

AND HAVE A SWELL DAY, PEEP!

CLOWN HAS ARRIVED

Most of my stuff tends to lean pretty heavy on the super sappy or heavy unwilling side of things so I don’t have a ton of silly stuff I’ve written, but! This little exchange in my fic Sunset Warmth always makes me laugh:

     Crutchie rolled his eyes and jabbed the stomach wall with his elbow, a snort of laughter escaping as he did so. “Oh yeah, course that was the reason. The famous Jack Kelly always thinks with his stomach and not his brains after all.” 

     There was a gasp and a soft thud as Jack clutched at his heart in mock offense. “Oh I’m crushed! You wound me Crutch, you really do.” He moaned dramatically. “I don’t think I shall ever recover from such an insult.”

And I have this little quip from a HIStK fic that I wrote from a friend that makes me giggle sometimes as well:

     “Alright fine, you know what? You can eat me if it will help hold you over until you’re done. Then you’re letting me out and doing the laundry. Deal?” 

Thanks for the ask and have a fantastic day :)

Struggling to understand the clear delineation between a pitch and a log-line. Another literary (book) agent was adamant they are not the same, while some professionals on their sites say they are basically one and the same. [To be fair, these sites are more focused on movie/TV scripts.]Your take on this will be helpful. My focus is MG novels

I mean -- they are a quite similar thing in function, but they aren't ACTUALLY the same thing, and they are used in different contexts.

If your focus is MG novels, IMO, you don't really need to worry about a "log line." That's a film thing. But it wouldn't hurt you to know, so here ya go:

A pitch (whether verbal or written) can be a few lines, a paragraph, whatever. (In your query letter, the "pitch" is the section of the query where you are talking about what your book is about, but there are other places you might utilize a pitch as well. Like the back of your book is often essentially a pitch.)

A log line is a sentance that says what your concept is in a nutshell. A line. ONE. Not a paragraph. Not a synopsis. ONE LINE. ONE SINGULAR SENSATION. It is used pretty much exclusively when pitching for film / screenplays. I don't think a lot of agents or publishers would request it by this name.

An "elevator pitch" or "one-sentence pitch" is essentially the same thing as a log-line, just the nutshell version of your pitch, but used in pretty much any other context BESIDES pitching for film/screenplays. Query forms sometimes ask for the one-sentence pitch in addition to your regular query. If you are on the spot at a cocktail party (or in an elevator!) and need to just say what your book is about quickly, use the elevator pitch.

HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS logline / elevator pitch / one-sentence pitch: "When a nerdy scientist builds a shrink ray and accidentally zaps his own kids to the size of ants, he has until 5pm to figure out how to protect them from the neighborhood cats AND how to un-shrink them, or he'll have to explain the fiasco to his wife."

HISTK pitch: "When a nerdy scientist lives out his wildest dreams and builds a working shrink-ray, he's thrilled. When he realizes he doesn't know how to reverse the shrinkage, he's less thrilled. And when he accidentally zaps his own kids to the size of ants, he realizes he's in big trouble. The kids are lost in the grass, first of all, and the neighborhood cats are a little TOO excited about it. Also, if he can't un-shrink them in time for dinner, he's going to have to explain the fiasco to his wife, and she is NOT gonna be pleased."

(Obviously I haven't seen that movie in 30 years so this is probably not accurate, just a random example, but maybe you get the picture?)

Wayne Szalinski from Honey I Shrunk The Kids is an epic gamer!

[that-gt-and-vore-stuffs]

I would just like to formally apologize to the followers of this blog for the following

My random periods of dead time

Me coming back with random new fixations

Me teasing shit and then never writing it

The sheer amount of fics I have in my head and only in my head

Me hopping from fixation to fixation while still not managing to just leave my old ones??

Random posts like this

This has been, J’s brief apology rant. Thank you.

I mean I’m sure we all saw this coming but good lord I had hope it would pass him by. I really did

But I mean you can’t show me dorky science man who loves experimenting with shrinking tech and expect this not to happen

Weird size community meme idea- your taste in size content represented via playing cards.

No, seriously.

Set the red suits and black suits in two separate piles to start, and set the Jokers aside- cards laid vertically will be things that you're generally interested in, or that you'd like to see in a partner of a different size. Cards laid horizontally will be ideas that would apply to you.

The black suits, clubs and spades, will be giant-related. First, kings, queens and jacks- guys, gals, and nonbinary; who's the big party in your ideal g/t story?

Next, the numbered cards. In a setting built for the smaller party (so the big ones are giants, dealing with inconveniences like being unable to ride in cars or enter most buildings comfortably), what's your ideal size gap between the giant(s) and everybody else? [Word to the wise- The max. height is going to be A) in Imperial units and B) shown off using a relatively short 5 ft tall and a very tall 6'8" multiplied up to the relevant proportions ahead, like so 5'/6'8"]. 2 is up to about double, where everyone is about double-ish the norm- 10/13 feet, about, so the smaller ones come up to their waist or higher, typically. 3 would be from there up to about 5x the norm, so anywhere up to 25/33 feet tall- about to the shin. 4 is from there up to the beloved Brobdingnagian x12 difference, or 60/80 feet tall- one foot to the humans is about an inch to the bigs. 5 is from those proportions up to a 20x difference, 100/133 ft, where people are about the size of their finger or ear, and a 5/6 story building is their equal in height. 6 is where we start getting crazy- an up to 60x difference, 300/400 ft. tall, meaning the average person is only as tall as their toes, and their proportions mean that they need to be careful lest they knock over skyscrapers- they're about as tall as a 15/20 story building at this point. 7 is a difference up to 240x, or 1200/1600 ft tall, which is the point where they'd start genuinely causing damage to the landscape and civilization with their footsteps, and people would start to resemble small bugs to them. 8 on up is much less common, but I'll keep going- this number indicates anywhere up to a 500x difference between the giant and the human civilization, or 2500/3333 feet tall; this is around half a mile, and where living on or inside the giant(s) becomes a feasible option- the giant would be no more cognizant of the individual people than we would be an aphid. 9 is where we make significantly larger jumps for those who like their giants colossal- this covers anything up to 7,500,000x normal size, or 7500/9833 miles tall- approximately the same size as Earth's diameter, or literally planetary-scale giants. Lastly, 10 covers anything up to 225 million times normal size, up to 225,000/300,000 miles tall- so large than even the Earth itself is 2 inches across, or about the size of a largish gumball, by comparison to the giant, a card I don't expect most of you to set out.

Last, the ace- do you like it when the big has to grow big to get like this? Its absence will be for giants born enormous (or made enormous in the case of mechanical or divine beings).

For the red suits, your hearts and diamonds, these are for tiny roles. Again, the kings, queens, and jacks- tiny guys, smol gals, little enby pals.

The numbered cards here refer to settings designed for the comfort of the bigger party- your Borrower or HIStK settings go here. 2 is for anything down to half-size smalls, 2'6"/3'4" coming up to about the waist of their bigger counterparts- an inconvenient existence, but not by too much. 3 is from that point down to one-fourth size, 15"/20", which would leave our smaller party at about knee height, and taller people would look like two-story buildings at about this point. 4 takes us down to one-sixth size, 10"/13", which is about the length of the bigger people's forearm, and just the right size to mount your average housecat or small dog like a horse. 5 takes us down to Lilliputian one-twelfth, or 5/7 inches tall- this would put the smaller ones at about the length of people's hands from base of palm to tip of pinky finger, and small enough to hide in underwear; notably, this is a great "small civilization" size in other works as well, with mice and rats occupying a role as mounts, various common lizards acting the role of dragon, and both cats and hawks being relatively threatening. 6 takes us to the ever popular one-twentieth, or 3/4 inches tall- about as tall as a person's ear, or as long as their finger if laid out; notably, this is a pretty common Borrower size, as your bog standard inch-and-a-half sewing needle makes for a decent rapier at this scale, large bugs are a relatively even fight, socks are bigger than you and fluffy enough to make into beds, etc. 7 takes us to the one-sixtieth size smalls, or approximately an inch tall- to the people, they're about as tall as their toe, or the length of a single joint on a finger; these are the settings where they frequently interact with, say, snails, crickets, and hummingbirds, but brown ants are about the size of dogs to the littles. 8 is where we start getting extra little, specifically down to one-hundred-twentieth scale- this makes the smalls about the length of the bed of an unpainted fingernail, and where the common small trope of "a few crumbs is too much" genuinely starts to apply. 9 takes us all the way down to one-five-hundredth scale smalls, or about the size of fleas- notably, this makes the smalls actually small enough to not break water's surface tension (read- walk on dirty water) and a head of hair becomes a forest. 10, lastly, brings us down to the genuinely microscopic smalls, the ones who can't be effectively seen by the naked eye unless they're moving or in a group, down to 1/1200 scale for the sake of stating an identifiable number- at this size, every inch is a five-mile trek, meaning that it's usually reserved for brief jokes and villain punishments; that said, would briefly like to note Fantastic Voyage plots, but effective conversion for numbers that small is giving me a headache.

These aces note a love of shrinking itself being pointed out. If not used, they instead indicate littles born or created that size being your preference.

You can use as many cards as apply to your tastes.
