How did you get into SW?

Post by Sdk » Sun Feb 11, 2018 7:50 pm

Im always interested to find out people got into this niche fantasy / fetish.

I've been fascinated with shrinking themes since I was a small child. At the time, just about every Sat morning cartoon featured an episode or two with a shrinking theme.

Of course, there were also movies like The Incredible Shrinking Man, Woman, Alice in Wonderland, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids among others.

I didnt really think about shrinking much as I got older, until my college years where I happened to stumble upon a repeat of Lois and Clark, which featured a tiny woman.

At the end of the episode, the female antagonist gets covered with the shrinking gel she used to shrink one woman and two men. She screams as she shrinks into her clothes, and into nothingness. Even though the scene could be better, it arused a desire to look more into this shrinking woman thing. Unfortunately, I found out later the other SW in the show was already tiny at the beginning of the episode.

I finally develled into the internet, and found the SW community. First the great stories from The Reducer, Scidram, etc. Later, video clips from Shrinking Dreams, Missa, and Red Parrot (here's hoping he produces again one of these days).

Anyone else?

For me I'd like to say Alice in Wonderland and any shrinking episode that'll appear on cartoons and anime. It was around 2011 where I found the community I believe.

Yup. Me three on that. Alice in Wonderland started me on shrinking. I used to play Alice games as a little girl.

Thanks for the mention, Sdk!

I was going to save this for the convention's panel discussion but mine was the movie Captain Sinbad with Guy Williams as Sinbad. The princess was turned into a bird so she could fly out to meet Sinbad on his way back. When she gets back to the wizard, the bad guys come in as she returns to human form but tiny. He picks her up and she struggles in his grasp. I was thinking how it might feel to hold a full grown woman in my hand if she was doll size.

I remember seeing that Sinbad movie soon after catching the Lois and Clark return. I think that led me to search the internet for more instances of shrinking women in film / TV.

Unfortunately, SW in mainstream media is mostly disappointing, but you have to start somewhere. And this was, of course, before so many great SW video clips were made.

That's a very good question. There were films that interested me in the field like "Honey I shrunk the kids" to "Alice in Wonderland" to even a special character from "Big Top PeeWee." Though the true reason I'm into tiny women would be this lucid dream from elementary school. I was stuck in class at the dead of night. The room was pitch black with the light of the moon shimmering through the windows. On the table though was a small figure. The closer I came the more I realized that it was actual one of may classmates; ironically it was also the one I kinda had a crush on. She was running around on the table in a panic. I wasn't sure if she was real so I tried poking her. She shrieked in fear before backing up and running off the table. She jumped off the ledge landing on one of the chairs before jumoing off that and scurrying away into the dark. Before I could chase after her I woke up. To this day that dream will sometimes come to mind when I think about shrinking women; maybe it was a persanol intrest I wouldn't understand until I was older.

Then in high school I explored that secret urge and discovered the Original Minimizer's site. That's where I looked up pictures, read stories, and viewed videos and gifs about shrinking women. I further looked into the matter over the years from other sites like Shrinking Dreams, Shrinking woman.com, certain videos on PornHub, DreamTales.com, and an abundance of gifs and images on Deviant Art. I continue my searches and pick a select few places to indulge on the subject.

I'm not even really sure how I got into SW specifically. Like many others here I have very early memories of being taken with movies and TV episodes with shrinking (and growing) in them, but for me those interests went toward giant/giantess stuff for the first few years of me really exploring it online - and all that with a strong furry bent.

At some point I started liking shrinking and human characters better, and that naturally led me to focus on SW over everything else. My kinks have basically changed almost completely from back then...weird how that happens.

I think that I was probably born to shrink. I remember being like three years old and playing that I was doll sized a lot. It's just always been a part of my fantasy mindscape.

I think it starts as I saw "The Incredible Shrinking Woman" (1981) and "King Kong" (1979) when I was a small child.

After this I imagined that I hide behind my kindergarten as a giant like King Kong and get my kindergartener while she was on her way home. :D
Later it turns out that I better get shrunken women, so I did not have to hide anymore! :lol:
I don't like playing with dolls,
I like to play with little woman!!

A lot of TV shows I watched during the late 70's & early 80's had shrinking women in it.....& that definitely got me started......Dr Shrinker, The Voyage of the Antelope, episodes of certain animated shows (Laverne & Shirley in the Army & Pandamonium come to mind). Then there was Land of the Giants & the Brooke Shields episode of The Muppet Show. Oh, & The Incredible Shrinking Woman.

hmmn.. I remember about the time I hit puberty, I saw honey I blew up the kid (seeing the big brother and girlfriend trapped in a pocket gave me urges. I found that every time a movie came on with a situation like that, i.e Honey we shrunk ourselves it just fueled my interest more I can remember a distinct line at the end of the movie "I have a hamster cage in my room we don't have to listen to mom ever again!".....

Then as all boys do they go to school and pick a certain teacher to fantasize about... knowing I was to young for her I would fantasize her being shrunk and me taking her home. Each day in the real world her outfit changed, she would be sweet to me, but then would dicipline the class. (I would go home and just imagine things) .years went on and Internet became more affordable and then I got the nerve to type in "shrunken woman" into google, discovering the minimizer site, (however most stories I could not relate to and just looked at the drawings)...I then discovered deviant art, and the violent sw board and here I am today

It's an interesting story... I remember being fascinated with episodes of Jeannie, versions of Tinkerbell, Alice in Wonderland, or Wonder Woman when she was shrunk... Somehow I wanted to have a tiny girl to carry around and pet... At some point, I also liked the idea not just having the tiny girl.. also wanted to be shrunk with the tiny woman, and explore a giant house. (which I why I ended being shrunk by giantess also) so, The whole sizechanging subject fascinates me... I'm here, If any of the girls wants to be shrunk by or with me, or shrink me to a giantess

Haha! I don't know really. It is forgotten about mostly and no longer airs on reruns. I am having memories now of wanting to go in the house and take the bottle and bring it home with me. I was just a kid lol

Very interesting to hear people's sw origin stories, we have so many similarities!

You are so right about the similarities, I bet Disney had no idea that they affected to many people with their Honey we shrunk ourselves, Honey I blew up the kid, and Honey I shrunk the kids. lol

If I recall correctly, that one had a ship from Lilliput (or some similar land of tiny people) shipwrecked on the shore of England, and a group of survivors from the ship were taken in by a group of children who had to hide them from the adults.

The name "Antelope", I believe, is a reference to the name of Gulliver's ship that he gets washed overboard from on the voyage to Lilliput in Swift's original novel.

Correct. It was a British series from the 1980's. 1 female & 2 male Lilliputions end up shipwrecked in England (19th century IIRC) where 2 children keep them hidden from adults whilst they find a way to get home.

Amy O Neill made a cute SW. Although 1/4 inch is a little too small.

Same here. Six inches tall is ideal.

Although the franchise did give us Keri Russell as a SW briefly. I did love the one scene when she and Nick are in the infant's pocket, and she says "is he growing, or are we shrinking?"

And her shrinking with Nick was a nice touch at the end.
