I like this story--all thirteen chapters of it, thus far. The Liliputian names being puns and off-color comments in rough English equivalents are hilarious and very much in the spirit of the original _Gulliver's Travels_; which lampooned a great number of the social issues of the day at the time it was published. I'm intrigued with the concept of the Liliputians being the result of Atlantean Science/Magic and the Liliputians being fearful of being discovered by their creators (or descendants of same). That is an excellent plot line to continue the story; especially if Ted, the Duchi and/or his Daughters (and possibly a son will be born at some point?) are the heros who free the Liliputians of the looming shadow of their "creators." BTW, Since Gulliver's Travels is in the public domain, you could publish this story for profit--much like _Pride and Prejudice and Zombies_ or _Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter_. I'm not as aware of all the laws behind copyright as I once was, but it should be possible for you to make some money off your writing.

To start, I have to say this has to be one of my favorite stories on the website. I only recently began reading your work, and while I immensely enjoy your stories it was Repatriated that really struck a chord with me. You seem to have the unique ability to make your characters come alive, to express themselves in ways I don't see very often. Don't expect me to list the ways in which they do so, I'm no literary expert so I can't really explain it, I just know that your characters don't feel flat. I think what I liked the most about Repatriated was the sex isn't explicitly the main focus. Oh sure, it's a rather large one and I'm sure you wouldn't host it on this site if if wasn't, but it feels as though you're writing more that just sex scenes with something to fill the space between. I could be entirely wrong, and you're just REALLY good at filler, but I'm rather hopeful that that isn't the case. Either way, thank you and good job.
