Let's see where our preferences lie vs. tech or magic...

Feel free to expand on your reason why in the comments!

The Joker

Personally I have more interest in magic than tech. Tech takes preparation. Magic can be done randomly. Tech is more based in science and seems to be guided toward one purpose. Magic is more fantasy and can be used for more than one purpose (like shrinking, growing, breast expansion, muscle growth, gender change, shapeshifting, transformation. Sometimes one spell at a time. Sometimes multiple Simultaneously.)

Interesting point! Magic definitely allows you to be a bit more 'impromptu' I suppose!

I'm not sure I have a favorite. One big difference is that magic can be an innate ability of a person, while tech is generally a device that can be taken and used by others.

Ivana

Indeed! There is an inherent 'ownership' of magic! Unless of course the magic is the result of some enchanted item/wand.

I picked shrink ray/device, although I feel magic and tech can be interchangeable to some extent. See universal remote stories. I like tech for the tension it can build in an audience. Your use of the shrink gun in “Not a Toy” is an excellent example of this. Maisie plays around with the device not knowing what it is and gets shrunk by it multiple times, only for Jenna to enter later and also get shrunk by it. I enjoy both, but when I write, I prefer tech. I say use what you think is best for the story you want to tell.

Nothing wrong with the classic ray

Ivana

Ah I'm so glad you're enjoying the shrink ray in Not A Toy! And thank you!

Ivana

Couldn't agree more!

Im torn, I enjoy both about equally. My personal preference is just shrinking out of their clothes for either.

Ivana

Super valid! I have a feeling a lot of people would say that if it was an option! <3
