What made you a macro/micro lover?
15 years ago
What made you a macrophile or a microphile? For me, it was shrinking in cartoons at first, then movies like Fantastic Voyage. As I got older, it became sexually stimulating to imagine myself getting smaller, or to play with a giant person.
What about you? What made you become a macro/micro?

Plus, I just like being big.
Deanna Lund as Valerie. Short skirts and awesome go go boots in every episode. Grabbed by giants and Scotch-taped along with the male lead hero to a lab table for examination in the first episode. Underdogs to root for.
Always wondered about the possibilities of one guy and several gals getting shrunk to the same small size, adventure-wise and otherwise.
PS: not every episode. The volcano, the rainforest, and the space adventures didn't use a shrinkray.
If I had to choose a moment where there was a "choice" to enjoy shrinking n such. If there was one thing on an impressionable young mind that really made it click and stick somehow. I'd say it was tiny toons, the episode where dizzy gets shrunk by shirley, it turns out that she's kind of hypnotized him, but she puts him in a trantz where he thinks he's shrunk and about gets stepped on a few times. and almost eaten by sweety.
I think that episode really made something click in my head and it the ideas flowed from there and got more intense the older I got.
But I also get off on the power that comes with macro fantasies so I like both sides of the fence.
Gullivers Travels
The Shrinking of Treehorn.
Incredible Shrinking Woman (somewhat)
The Flintstones whenever Fred got embarrased he would shrink.
Every 70s-80s cartoon had an "Incredible shrinking ______" episode.
And then there was a Choose Your Own Adventure book called "Help! You're Shrinking!" the title of which alone gave me a boner. I would read it in the store and almost spooge in my pants I was so excited. This was when I was maybe 13-14.

Clifford the Big Red Dog, TV shows with giant or tiny characters (like when Tony shrank on I Dream of
Jeannie) and then in '76 when I was 14 the TV listings for the Sat afternoon monster movie said it was about a man who dwindles in height...the Incredible Shrinking Man. (Decades later I'd give myself the
nickname Shrinkingman). Loved it--shrinks to the size of a 3 yr old...small enough to live in dollhouse, chased by cat, almost decapitated by a mousetrap, trying to jab a huge spider. Man! I was on the lookout for anything with "giant/tiny". This applies to real life too; seeing things on TV like
people in their late teens who are 3 feet tall and maybe 30 pounds, or giants who get up close to 8 feet tall.
By 97 I got online and found giant/tiny stuff, anthro and non-anthro though not many sites were
"clean" though you could still enjoy some clean stuff like Temdant and Joe Ekaitis, and then I did
the whole shrinkingman.com/shrinking.net things and my own macro/micro stuff here and elsewhere.
Pictures and writing, mostly the latter. Some of my interests could include a kind of Land of the Giants deal: instead of somebody shrinking, an Earthling goes to a planet of giant furs. (See my "Saving a Human"). And I'm still active online uploading cool macro/micro to youtube, checking out FA (in the past did Yerf, which had some cool stuff...)
smaller yet themselves, or b) seeming giant by comparison by meeting some very small people.
For example, cover of book Castaways in Lilliput where some kids get to tower over the natives
in a more modern Lilliput:

Giant/Tiny is a great genre; you can do so much with it. Comedy, adventure, drama, fantasy...
and you will see it turn up on TV commercials (inch tall woman chased by cat: VW Polo), movies
(Jack Black is Gulliver!), TV cartoons and sitcoms, etc. Books, real life, you name it

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids also helped, I always feel weird eating cereal thanks to this film.
On-shoe attached miniature cameras (not pointed up, but forward) are what I abso-freaking-lutely love. In-shoe situations are what I also love.
As soon as furries came into the mix, the Macro/Micro community was something I got VERY interested in.
I feel like I just did a group hug admission.
Oh, and later on, I caught up with the movie Innerscape, which kind of gets me into a little vore. And the song "Twistin' the Night Away"
The "Micro Godzilla" cartoon episode where Godzilla slowly shrinks down to microscopic size in a petri dish, fights for survival against a spider and then bacteria, and everyone is worried that he'll go to subatomic size or disappear completely if they can't find a cure in time.
