Question: is 'Minimizer' the legend of the SW topic?

[Little Sally]

No, no, please, by all means, keep it up. I'm a legend. You hear me? A LEGEND!!!

I agree it's official! Even if you're only a legend in your own lunchtime Min!!

[Some Wanderer]

No, no, please, by all means, keep it up. I'm a legend. You hear me? A LEGEND!!!

Legend? I'm not sure about that. Maybe iconic, monumental or downright groundbreaking; but a legend? I don't know if I would go that far.

In any event I kept pretty much everything so if anybody wants any of my old stuff just let me know and I can slap it into a DA folder for your downloading pleasure. I even have all the HTML site files, and while the forum wouldn't work, I could theoretically rebuild the whole thing exactly as it stood at the time it got closed. (not that I intend to do so, just saying)

I'm a bit late to the party on this thread, but I figured it was better than starting a new request thread. The Internet Wayback Machine and similar internet archives have substantial holes in them, and there is really no substitute for Classic Minimizer. I've been able to find the comics, but if anyone was able to take Min up on this offer and has all the images from the stories, I would love to have them. I think I have the comics and the sketches completely covered.

And Min, if you're reading this, I would gladly pay for access for the whole thing via DA if you're ever so inclined to throw it all in a zip file. You've definitely earned it, and I look forward to every new entry for your new stuff. I'm actually hoping you put your new stuff in zip files for the same reason (but I get not doing that, at least not right away, probably makes it really easy for pirates). You just get something so fundamental about the whole thing that I think is irreplaceable.

One of those UK SW enthusiasts here. Minimiser's site was truly legendary, giving me a space to explore my new fetish as a young teen in a confusing time for me.

"Always Follow The Directions" is my favourite story from the site, not Minimiser written, but a long story hosted there. Lost a copy years back on an old hard drive, underrated SW story.

Sandi's Trials, excellent SW comic, great concept too. I do like the sketchy art style of it.

Anyway, Minimiser, I wouldn't be here typing this without your site, and I thank you a lot!

I’d thought I throw my 2 cents in I can honestly say for better or worse I would not be the man I am today with out Minimiser and the friends I made upon there site and beyond they took a young shy 21 year old and exposed him to a world he didn’t know existed outside his own mind. Let him place his name on a comic of someone he admired greatly and introduced him to people he’s made into lifetime friends if I was to make a hall of fame they would have a place among the greats as others have risen only because they stood on the shoulders of people like Minimiser. It’s not my place to say who is legendary or not mine is only the right to say how I feel on said topic but I can honestly say in my eyes Sizecon and the like would have never happened if it wasn’t for sites like Minimiser and the like and for that I will be forever grateful.

Hi guys. So doing my research I got the vibe that Minimizer is a big deal in SW, or used to be. So is he legendary for you? Just wanted to know more about the SW topic

Yes He is, but not the only Legend...

[Dr.Minimizer]

I am humbled by your words and certainly don't deserve the title of "legendary." Like so many of you I discovered this crazy interest of mine at a young age and didn't know anyone I could talk to about it, until I discovered the SW Forum. Everyone there was so helpful and complimentary...I feel like they, and that place, are the true legends. I'm just happy to be able to share this really weird fetish with others, because without the Forum I would've just kept to myself all these years. Thanks!

Dude you’ve long since earned it.

About 20 years ago I heard about people who thought giant women were absolutely amazing and erotic. I was like, that doesn’t do anything for me, but if people are into big people, maybe someone out there is into shrunk women. Within minutes google brought me to my first SW site ever, which was your shrinking site in like, 2005?

It had so much material. Stories, art, comics, sketches with your novellas and short stories…it was so overwhelming and exciting. And I didn’t feel alone. I think the first story of yours I read was Entomology Opportunity, and I lost it over how perfect the shrinking scene was written. How believable she was as a character and her reaction was able to hit all the marks I had towards the fetish while also feeling like it just worked on its own merits as a story. Sandi’s Trials 1-3 was up and that was the first comic I read featuring tiny ladies, and I got to see the image of Sandi peaking around a closed door from floor level, at few inches tall, wearing that incredible outfit (though I always thought it was black and yellow and that Sandi was a blonde, lol). The frame is burned into my brain forever, it was perfect.
So yeah anyway, thank you for the community, the art and the writing. I pick up your paid works every time.
And please, I would absolutely love to take you up on your old offer to get the complete collection of what I’ve started to think of as “Classic Minimizer”. Definitely miss those story drawings you did!
