How did you get into SW?

It's an interesting story... I remember being fascinated with episodes of Jeannie, versions of Tinkerbell, Alice in Wonderland, or Wonder Woman

I had forgotten all about I dream of Jeannie! I did love the idea of her little bottle she was in.

Well My friends, I can tell you all had your own ways of figuring out what is an SW and how do you like it. Mine journey into SW was different from your experiences. I can say it way pretty unusual. It all has begun when I was 13. Me and mine parents moved to a the city (well, we didn't come from country, but we moved from suburbs into city itself). At that time I started a new school (middle school) It was all fun and everything, until I meet my new math teacher. She was a midget, or petite women around 120 cm tall (that's like 3ft9in). And she didn't look like most of the midget's are. Instead she had very normal and natural proportions like most adult women do. From the moment I meet her, I had these thought that someone decided to shrink her.
I remember her very well. She had big blue eyes, medium length brown hair and she was always wearing heels (which BTW didn't help much, but they were making a lot of noice around that small women). She was dressing very professional for a teacher - always in some jacket or business-like skirt. When she was siting at her teachers desk (in my country students remained in the same class, and the teachers are the one that are changing rooms to give lesson) I remember that her feet's were hovering above the ground. On another occasion, when she had to ask student a question or check his/her homework (in front of the class) she was sitting in her chair (me and my friends had a joke that she was taller sitting than standing). Or when everybody were smiling when she had to write down something for us on blackboard she used a small stepladder in order to use whole board. She also smoked which made her look grotesque. That's when I realize I like SW! Because of my midget teacher. At the beginning I did a lot of thinking and possible scenarios that someone really had shrunk her the other day. After a few years (when I was adult) I meet her at the bus stop, made a joke about her height (she laughed!) and offered her a cigarette. We talked about old times, for more than hour I missed a couple of buses and so did she, we exchanged our FB and goodbye...
Well that's how it all started because of my middle school math midget teacher after that I went into movies and discovered some yahoo groups about SW... and so it goes....

I wonder if this teacher ever fantasized about shrinking people, so she'd be bigger than them, a la Sally R.?

For me, it was Gullivers Travels and King Kong. There is a lot of implied sex in Gullivers Travels from the giant little girl who undresses and redresses Lemuel, to him extinguishing the royal palace fire in Lilliput by peeing on it to Lemuel describing a giant woman's breast that he was pushed up close to. To be Kong or Anne Darrow however. My all=time favorite scene in cinema is where king strips most of the clothes off an unconscious Anne, There was a tie-in novelization released the same time as the movie. In it, Anne ends up a LOT more naked. It is really worth seeking out.

I had to read Gulliver's Travels for English class during my sophomore year at Tusculum College. (Though the Laputa part was abridged. I have no idea why.) I remember Gulliver peeing on the palace to put out the fire, and also the Lilliputians parading between Gulliver's legs while he's standing up, and being able to see, through holes in his trousers, how "well-endowed" Gulliver is.

The Italian comic artist Guido Crepax did a gender-swapped version of Gulliver's Travels called "I Viaggi Di Bianca". I bought the book, which came all the way from Italy, scanned all 16 pages of the Lilliput part and all 16 pages of the Brobdingnag part, and posted it on Minimizer's board. (Though it's not in English.) The Lilliput part includes Bianca peeing on the palace to put out the fire. (Of course, the Queen of Lilliput is horrified.) By the end of the Brobdingnag part, Bianca is being carried around in a bird cage. She's completely naked...and masturbating. (And earlier in this part, three servant girls who were "playing" with the tiny Bianca get caught, and get spanked as punishment.) I think that the only way to get an English version is an omnibus volume called Emmanuelle, Bianca and Venus in Furs, which is over 450 pages, and weighs three pounds!

Guido Crepax's best-known character is the fashion photographer Valentina. This is the cover of one of his Valentina collections. I think that the title translates to "Valentina in a stew". I don't know if there's actual SW content in this storyline, or if the cover image is symbolic:

The Baba Yaga storyline was filmed as the giallo Baba Yaga (aka Baba Yaga the Devil Witch). But there's no SW content in the movie, unless you count a dominatrix doll, somewhere between two and three feet tall, who can turn into a full-sized woman who carries out Baba Yaga's bidding (including shackling Valentina, then whipping her after Baba Yaga rips off her clothes).



Do you mean a novelization of the original King Kong? I bought a 1970's edition of that novelization in a local used book store in January 1994, but I never got around to reading it. (And now it's in a storage facility, where I'll probably never see it again.)

I share this again for NO other reasons other than I find it interesting, that there might be people out there struggling with this and these things should be out in the light of day. I was abducted and abused at a very young age which set in train an overwhelming obsession with Alice in Wonderland which spread to other size related material.

At 3 years old the shrinking and shrunken state in Hanna-Barbera Alice shattered my universe into a myriad of beautiful tiny fragments. Next was my mother's beautiful illustrated edition of the original (which no longer seems to exist) with which I taught myself to read by the age of 4. Alice was everything to me until I was 8. She was my secret girlfriend that I hid in my pocket, or maybe just walked hand in hand with through the giant jungle of our lawn. I even wanted to be her. Even at 3 I can remember stirrings of sexuality stimulated by a woman or a girl shrinking or being shrunken

I started watching the Batwoman TV series during the first season. Batwoman is Kate Kane, cousin of Bruce Wayne. (Though she was replaced for the second and third seasons.) Kate has a twin sister named Beth. When Beth was a little girl, she was abducted by an evil man and held prisoner in his house, possibly for years. I don't know if she was abused, sexually or otherwise, because I didn't watch from the beginning. Her one comfort was the book Alice in Wonderland. At some point after she was free, she started calling herself Alice, she bleached her brunette hair blonde, she started dressing differently (including wearing fingerless gloves), and she carried that Alice in Wonderland book with her, maybe at all times. And she became a criminal, including killing people. She had a henchman that she called "Mouse". (Though in the Season One finale, she fatally poisoned Mouse. "Goodbye, my dear, sweet Mouse, my brother, my everything. I'll see you in Wonderland." And she burned that Alice in Wonderland book.) Some of the episodes had titles like "Down the Rabbit Hole" and "Curiouser and Curiouser".
