I guess all types will do for me, I'm more about the aftermath or process in general, I'm adjusting to their situation.
I'm with you. Since shrinking is purely fantasy, how they were shrunk is less important than how they cope with situation. It's kinda like apocalypse movies. It's not the apocalypse (natural disaster such as zombie virus, solar radiation burst, volcano, earthquake, meteor or a manmade disaster like lab leak of virus, EMP, nuclear holocaust) it's how the survivors struggle to survive and their interactions with others and their new environment that interests me.
Same as SW. Is it consensual or nonconsensual? Accidental or intentional? Or an LOTG, Jesse Jr. Portal, Jack and the Beanstalk concept? How do the "bigs" and "little" interact? As friends, lovers or are the "littles" to be abused as pets, toys or sex objects? If the interaction is nonconsensual, do the "littles" resist or submit to their antagonists? Did they know each other prior to the shrinking and was the previous relationship good or bad?
If the story involves the shrinking of a normal sized person, the method of shrinking may or may not relate to the prior relationship of the subjects but some stories, such as a story of revenge, jealousy or similar motive, the method should fit with the prior relationship, but doesn't have to. In the German movie, "Help, I've Shrunk My Friends", the "bad bigs" had nothing to do with the shrinking but took advantage of the situation, tormenting the "Littles", who I believe (I don't understand German) were other students they didn't like.
And finally, is the story written as third person, the perspective of the "big", the "little" or both, rotating POVs in each successive chapter?
There are really so many different scenarios to build a story or as I call them, photostories (collages with a short story) from, nearly anything goes, depending on your (the writer or artist) desires.
