So, I've seen lots of questions about my new story. Because of that, I've decided to start this thread. It'll make my life easier to be able to answer whatever questions you may have in one place instead of through PMs, comments, etc. Plus, if soomeone has the same question as you, I won't have to answer it twice. They can just look it up here. So, feel free to post whatever questions your pondering minds can think of and I'll answer them to the best of my ability ;D.

I'm copying and pasting the questions I asked via PM...I hope you don't mind..;>___>...Of course you don't have to answer them all...X3....
What's this world they're in?
Why/How can Daniel read minds?
If humans are walking about freely, then how could they be sold as pets as well? >>
Is selling humans illegal? If so, then wouldnt' the father report the sleezeball seller person dude >>
Over a hundred feet tall? How much so.. a lot?
Okay, so you're going to explain the reading minds thing later..I get that...but when you do that...make sure to go into detail (Like is he the only one? Is he not sure if he's the one? Or if there's more, explain the possibilities?..etc..etc...)
Hmm..So the village is hidden you say? >__>..How so? Does that mean there's no giants in the other parts of the world/whatever...in short, is this an alternate earth where giants exist everywhere...or simply just in this "hidden village"? If giants, just exist in this village, you may want to explain how the technology works...how would they get giant cars...giants cars would mean giant factories ..etc..etc...so the "village" would be more like a "city"...and How would such a "city" exist in a world now when our world is pretty much covered to the brim with people ;>__>....Just saying..You may want to make it an alternate Earth or whatever....
P.S. Yeah..Totally just copied and pasted...But I figured some people may have the same questions..*shrugs*..Or maybe I'm too much of an inquisitive person LOL XD;;
If you think there may be spoilery things and stuff you don't want to address yet, just tell me and I'll edit this post/comment/thingy....

 No worries... I love copy and paste! It makes life so much easier sometimes! To answer your questions *clears throat* again.... The village that they live in is in our own world. It's a hidden village that is protected by a barrier. The only ways you are able to get in are if you are a mythical creature, you are traveling with a mythical creature, or you are a gifted human - moves things with minds, sees future, etc. Daniel's mind reading WILL be explained later in the story (as in the next post or two) THe average height for a giant in my story would be 100- 120 ft. tall. When James says he's a bit taller that an average giant, he's only about 133 ft. tall. And, just for the hell of it, Daniel and David- 135 ft. tall, Lucas -137 ft. tall. So, their not to tall but all enough for my liking - and hopefully yours, too. The giants technology was built/ works the same way a normal sized person's does. Just, you know, a lot bigger... and took a lot longer to make... with many more men...

*Hmm..133-137' is mighty tall @__@...But, alas, it is your story...so I'll attempt to suspend my disbelief just for you ;].....But remember, for safe interaction between the tiny and the giant...the giant would have to be realllyyyy careful at the size ;>____>....Or your humans could be more durable....or something? *shrugs*
*The magical-ness is very interesting! Hopefully, you'll go more into depth about it in the story for I'd like to know more ^w^
*Ah, lol...I hope the giants do something to earn their worth (and to pay for the really expensive technology xDD)
Sorry, anything I said seemed mean....L:ike I said many times, I'm just trying to help you grow as a writer. You have a lot of potential and interesting ideas...so yeah..kudos on that X3. I wish you best of luck with your story...^w^

Like I've said many time.... You're NOT being mean. I appreciate the critique.
And yes, my giants are pretty tall, but there have been taller.
Remember, you can feel free to post any questions you may have. I'll answer 'em.

Taking Ronnie's advice into conseideration, i've decided to change the height of mah giants.
James will be 98ft, David will be 99ft, and Daniel and Lucas will be a 100ft.
Now, they are not as tall, but still a height that I favor.
Thanks for the awesome tips, Ronnie!
