Hyung, I Shrunk The Kids!

Description

When Tao accidentally turns the rest of EXO into young children, he'll (hopefully) learn that caring for others should be a two-way street.

About this Fic:

2/6/2016: I'm working on improving this fic according to recommendations from Eleutheromaniac at Kodawari. If you've read it and want to know what I'm changing, I'll list it below.

8/13/15: Thank you to Korekrypta, for recommending this story in her rec list: EXO Fanfic Gems (http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/958499) I was entirely surprised she'd discovered it.


Warnings: None, and I want it to stay that way. My fics usually involve some degree of cursing, so this is a little bit of a challenge to myself: See if I can finish one multi-chapter fic without using a single (American English) curse word.

All ages in this story are in Western convention.

It is important to note that while this is a Mamaverse fic, this is not a fic where they all turn into kids and can't control their powers. While that sounds hilarious and adorable, I think that such a story would quickly get out-of-hand for someone like me. This fic is about Tao learning an aesop, not about their powers, and other than Tao turning them into kids, their powers don't make much of an appearance.

Enjoy in moderation!


Now, about those changes. I'm currently near the end of Chapter Four with my edits. The ending of four will have to be different to accomodate Chapter 5, so I just left it the way it is until I'm ready for it.

These are the changes I'm planning for this story, which are a mix of my own feelings and sentiments from Eleutheromaniac's review:

First round

  • Redoing the story of a good chunk of chapter five. I pushed through writer's block to write it, and I have never been particularly pleased with it.
  • Changing hyphens to emdashes when a character gets cut off.
  • Changes to how Tao acts, to be more in line with the selfish character he is shown to be in the beginning.
  • Changes to Sehun and Lay's characters.
  • Fixes to minor inconsistencies in behavior.
  • Removal of all Caps Lock. When I was writing I felt that I would have a hard time getting the emotions of the story across without multiple levels of emphasis, but I read a book recently (finally) and was reminded that the reader's imagination will do the work of adding emphasis at the level they feel necessary.
  • Removal of repetitive punctuation except for the occasional interrobang, also for the reason above.

Second round

  • Checking to make sure I didn't make Sehun too aggressive too early.
  • Dealing with rogue semicolons.
  • Checking her other recommendations to make sure I didn't forget anything I agree with.

Thanks for bearing with me~!
