Thanks! I'm not sure I deserve such a compliment, but it feels great to read it anyway.
I left the ending open-ended on purpose (I tend to do it in most of my stories, if you ever read any of my giantess work), and I know how I would start if I had to do a sequel, but at this moment it's not planned (and much less outlined). I'm working on a different story that is moving along nicely and I hope will be ready soon; it has a quite different set-up than Towers, though. I hope that you will enjoy it in any case. And... who knows if the Towers sequel will come in the future!
Yes I did read side effects and I know about your others giantess stories but, no offense, I did not "hook up" by them. unlike this one.. Anyhow I am looking forward for your next work!
Well, I'm glad that I found the right tone with this one, then! Hopefully the next one will be just as good (or even better!)

Obviously, Sienna is going to absorb the power from the new meterite while the helpless shuttle crew watch in dispair just before they and their ship are crushed to the size of ashtray.papayoya1 wrote: Well, while I left the story open-ended on purpose, I believe that the plot line of The Towers' Syndrome was closed. This story was that of Sienna's ascension, which was meant to conclude with her taking over the world. The ending with the suggestion that there might be a way to counter or fight Sienna in the future is meant to leave the universe of the story open enough for a sequel or (less likely) a spin-off. I have some ideas on how those would look like, even if no solid plans to work on them right now. I hope that this was not too disruptive with the ending...
How freaking good is this story? Papayoya, I salute you. If I hadn't finished making children, I'd name one after you. Thank you so much!
Oh, I know for a fact that you would like her to absorb even more power and be exponentially more unstoppable.
It's great to see that you enjoyed the story. Not sure Mr. Papayoya Conceptfan would be the greatest name, in case the kid wanted to dedicate to science or business. Maybe it would unavoidably put him in the path for becoming a politician...

Well, being a scientist, I'm sure that Sienna would enjoy discovering new sentient species... and dominating them!

I just finished this and I'll throw my kudos into the ring. I think you handled her amping up really well. I love the telegraph of showing limits, and then showing her naturally exceeding them after she hits the next level (Tk and the tank,etc).
Well done all around.
Thanks! I'm glad that you liked the evolution. Giving her limits that she had to work to overcome was one of the things that helped me to keep the plot of the story going and with a logical enough evolution, so I'm happy to see that it worked!

This is one of the great hgihglight of this story for me as well. It's very common in our genre for powers to come with a in-built guide, which is a perfectly reasonable situation because we all want to get to the meat of the action, showcasing our beloved characters as much as possible. Yet, Towers' Syndrome clearly demonstrate the appeal of taking a much slower pace and revealing powers one by one. Hell, seeing the slow and steady growth of Sienna is one of the main attractive os this story.
Thanks! I took the slow route (even if it accelerated at the end) because it was the only way I could keep the plot flowing and have a self-contained story. I made sure to create the conditions to have relatively large action sequences throughout, but the idea was to create the necessary challenge or tension to keep the plot going until the finale, where action escalates without limits, this time.

It would also fit anything from Terry Pratchett...

As usual, you are too kind. I'm very glad to read that such a great writer of superwomen stories as you enjoyed Towers. I hope that my next story will not disappoint!

If I may make 1 suggestion; i really enjoyed other authors of the super bad girl theme when there are scenes where the bad girl forces herself sexually onto seemingly stronger or bigger men like the SEAL.
I must admit I read your story out of order and might have missed it, but I don't think there was any such scenes of sienna forces intercourse on a man.
Anyway I really enjoyed your writing. Well done and thank you.

Thanks! I'm very happy to see that you enjoyed the story so much. Besides her sex scene with the doctor before her second transformation, there is no scene of Sienna forcing herself on someone else. While it fits her character to impose herself to others, during this story she was more worried about prevailing than enjoying, which is part of the reason this did not happen. I have ideas in mind for the future, though.
Thanks! And I hope you will enjoy what is coming!
