Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
Wet Dream - Down the Drain is out now!
https://i.imgur.com/VHY2fV2.jpg A relaxing shower becomes a horrifying nightmare when a woman named Denise begins to rapidly (and inexplicably) shrink until she finds herself going Down the Drain! https://i.imgur.com/zexqzUP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/v6WALaQ.jpg Synopsis: Denise was hoping that a nice, long shower might be just the way to relax and unwind (and maybe let out a little pent-up sexual tension with some “alone time”)... but will her soothing shower turn into a diminishing nightmare?

Re: Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
While detailed it was very short and fast paced. Mostly just eyecandy and an extension of a comic we already had as a multi-part page. The only added bit was the end in which was guaranteed to show that more comics will be coming.
The style is lovely but the story falls very short and the single page comic portrayed this just fine. (It might have been more than a single page, maybe 2 or 3 tops. But the same result) |

I wouldn't go so far as to say it was terrible but it was essentially just an extended shrinking sequence. The art is very nice at least. I like the dynamics of the "camera." It really helped to emphasize her change in height in a situation where there isn't much besides water to compare her to. Also did Drawanon get a credit? EDIT: Disregard that last part. I just checked the 4chan shrinking thread and Drawanon is both aware fo the comic and doesn't mind either way about that kind of thing. |
Re: Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
“Down to the Drain” is a comic, based on a short comic from a 4-Chan artist, who is often called in the community as Drawanon or Draw-bro; as the author and creator of these comics never revealed an artist-name and only post anonymous.
This version of the comic is an extension of the original with some thoughts and dialogues of the protagonist. The artist did a great job on adding some nice perspectives of the shrinking scene. The body language and face expressions are captured perfectly to her current predicament. Summary This comic has a nice slowly shrinking process. Although the comic contain all story elements of the original it add only a few minor details, e.g. why she is taking a shower. For my taste, there is too much cursing when the character shrinks. Besides the extended shrinking and the beautiful art, the comic adds nothing really new, like why Denise is shrinking. Or how she is discovering her new gigantic environment. Although I like the ending, I missed the opportunity to build more on this last part. It is hinted that Denise will be found by her room-mate in another chapter, but for me this comic is completed and fine as it is. Even though some might wonder, if the extension of an already existing comic was necessary instead of doing something new, I see this comic as what it is: only a nice slowly shrinking comic to enjoy. |

We do know the other nicks for the artist doe. :P

Re: Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
The artist who created this is one of my favorites for this site. They really nail down how to draw a sexually enticing damsel in distress. Hopefully they do more work.
That said, as others have noted this is a weak copy of an existing storyline, beat for beat. It's not that we don't appreciate the comic, but we do not pay $15 a month for a phone-it-in writing crew. These are erotic stories, why be so lazy? Why repeatedly draw only a short section of process, only to tease that there may be some sexual interaction in the *next* comic, which will come... in a year? That's not worth the price you're charging. |
Re: Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
It was a decent comic but I mean… The last few stories have either been F/f or f stories… Do we ever get any M/f stories again? Also there's gotta be a way to either make the comics longer or output the content to twice a month. It's frustrating to see all the other sites get 2, maybe 3 comics a month while we're stuck waiting months or a year for a single storyline to conclude.

Re: Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
Thanks for all of the feedback about "Down the Drain" and the site as a whole. I do take these into account when deciding what titles to continue, what to scrap and when to try new things.
First, I'd like to address the issue regarding the origins of the story. As a matter of policy we only publish original works and (in rare cases) adaptations of existing written stories with express permission granted from the original creator. It was only brought to my attention recently that there exists a shower shrinking mini comic that was posted to 4chan submitted by an anonymous artist. Our staff has since taken steps to try to contact the artist but this might be impossible since it was posted anonymously. Side note: If you know the artist or are the artist please contact us. That being said, there have been other works of fiction, published before and after that mini comic was posted, that involve a woman shrinking in the shower. Needless to say we'll be putting our efforts toward depicting other scenarios and leave the shower shrinking to anyone else who wants to give it a go. We are also doing our best to reach a point where we're able to offer more content each month -- of course this is contingent on our production capacity and costs associated. Every membership brings us one step closer to this goal. |
Re: Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
Let it be noted that ideas CANNOT be copyrighted, only works put in a tangible medium. So though this comic and the other mini-comic depict a woman shrinking in the shower, that's just an idea which has been fictionalized several times around the internet. Unless the "Down the Drain" writer specifically asked the ShrinkFan artist to reference specific existing drawings from a previous interpretation, there is nothing wrong with reinterpreting a pretty general idea.
For example, the following movies by rival studios came out within months of one another: Armageddon vs. Deep Impact (big asteroid coming to Earth) Antz vs. A Bug's Life (an off-beat ant saves the colony) Mission to Mars vs. Red Planet (astronauts find weird stuff on Mars) Volcano vs. Dante's Peak (dormant volcano erupts) And the list goes on. I read it once that there are very few, if any, new story ideas. Whether the execution of this idea is good is a subjective argument (the artwork is fantastic, in my opinion), but the idea is fair game to be used in a new way, as it appears the ending of the comic will go. |
Re: Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
Sounds great. Personally I'd like to see the conclusion to the Bully & One Extreme to Another. And maybe another M/f comic at some point?

I know that shrinking in the shower isn't an original idea but it is beat-for-beat very similar, right down to her waking up in her bed still shrunk. Apparently there was also like an audio reading that people say he ripped dialogue from? But that seems sketchy to me. I haven't heard it myself but it's very generic reactionary dialogue. Anywho, if you want to get Drawanon's attention speak to them on the /d/ shrinking women thread on 4chan. Either way he'll probably say not to sweat it but I think the gesture would be appreciated by the community at large. (Also you could try to get him on board with you guys, he's a p.good artist. >_>) |

I am not saying I disapprove and the anon who made the original comic said he was fine with it and that he also was inspired to make it from an old Minimizer story. My issue is that this shouldn't have taken a month slot. It should have been a 15th comic issue, like you have done in the past. It was nice, but the dialogue is generic and the reaction for her shrinking but masturbating anyway feels forced. In conclusion, I feel like this shouldn't have taken a monthly issue slot by itself and that it would be nice if we got more than one comic a month to justify the $15 a month pricetag. That's the price of a full month of WoW sub. I don't mind paying that much. But it would be nice to get more than one comic a month out of that. |

Re: Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
Maybe 2 comics a month is pushing it for a smaller community... buuut.... Why not do the usual one a month, then do like a "holiday" or special issue? Not necessarily released on as regular of a schedule (business needs permitting), but then like every 4 to 6 months there's an extra comic?
Monthly price point stays the same, but end up with more than 12 (but still plenty fewer than 24) comics per year. |

As much as I hate micro-transactions in gaming, they have been great revenue generators. Theoretically you could make cheap side content for cheap. Then give the option for people to buy it for a low price. Could be done with or with out a subscription. Just don't pull an EA (Electronic Arts). I think I died a little with this idea.:( |

Re: Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
It's difficult to get people to dedicate monthly subs, that's for sure. I've been relieved to have such a good experience with these websites. And really, it's content I need. So I'd have only myself to blame if I don't support it.
Tiedefender, I definitely wasn't implying a microtransaction model >_< It sounded like people were feeling disappointed about getting 1 comic/month for their sub... so I was like "what if there's a quarterly bonus comic?". Like when you have a month with 3 paychecks and you're like "YAAAAS" and good things happen. I do see where that could be problematic for people subbing and canceling and subbing and canceling (... >_>... I maybe did that a little till I was more financially secure). Maybe have a "VIP" content section for people who have been continuously subbed for X months, or who paid for X months up front? |

I know I feel some disappointment some times with it. But then again I have a more narrow view on what I like. And it has only narrowed more over the years. I do like the VIP idea. It would seem any other idea I have right now is to resource intensive to do. |

Apparently I'm terribly boring and narrow too. Gentle pet-owner shrinking of me to between 2 and 12 inches without vore, violence, death, shoving of phallic objects into my various orifices, or unhygienic activities is demandingly specific >_< /rant But damn if these shrinkfan comics aren't frequently hitting my likes. Small Fortune (<3), Invisible Girl, True Desire, Laundry Day, Watch Your Tongue, Toonstruck, Shrinkovision, A Little Competition (loved that). All of which have made me happy. I'm real eager to read Little and Small Change... hopefully Lucky Mallet is fun too. The scarcity of the content means I'm happy supporting comics I'm not interested in (like Measure of a Warrior & Operation Half-Off) if they keep alive the ones I do want. |

I too feel the pain as my favorite size is 1 foot to 3 feet and people often one 12 inches to micro, not mini-girl. ;.; But the gentle pet-owner is a fav and far too many on F-list seem to want hard dominatrix and body odor/(UNMENTIONABLE). Vore, death, gore... bleeeeehhhhhhh. Just looking for a consensual excitement shrink, maybe one that's "normal" for that world? Lately, I have seen a few comics introduce this, one is coming up but I just know it's going to skip past all of my favorite size and go straight to the 2-5 inch or less mark because "tiny people are property and cannot be allowed rights" To be honest, my best long-term sizeplay came from WoW where my character willingly shrunk herself to sell her alchemy. Because, gimmicks, yay. And then met someone who fell in love with her at that size. Her wife-pet she called my character. It was a lot of willing ownership and leashplay, along with a cage to relax in during travels. ^.^ Very consensual and lasted maybe for over a year before things faded away and I faction changed to the Alliance again. |
Re: Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
I'm just never on F-list at the same time as anyone else. >_>

Re: Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
I've really never understood the draw towards horrific violence or the more "unhygenic" (to borrow your phrasing) aspects of it either. I mean, obviously it pushes the buttons for some folks, but I don't get it m'self. *shrug*
Oh, well. That's why we use scripts from a bunch of different writers. lol |

Re: Down the Drain - Shrink Fan Comics
I tried F-List a little bit. I'm very flexible, but you're all dang right about the certain...trends...the site seems to attract. O.o
I've actually had a lot better luck on discord servers. And yay for nice, non-micro, pet/owner RPs. <3 (coincidentally, if anyone wants a Discord chat friend, feel free to message me on here.) |
