One thing I've wanted to know is even though this site is focused on growth why aren't tall SW's more acceptable. To me it's all relative. As long as the difference in sizes is in the Minigiantess range I'm all for it.
I think about it like this:
If girl one is 5' tall and girl two is 3' tall then girl one is a giantess to her.
With all due respect given to other fetishes, a woman that grows smaller does nothing for me. For me, my enjoyment of MiniGTS is all about the woman getting taller 1) than me, 2) than she previously was, and 3) than everyone else. I dig the power trip (or maybe just mild change in perspective) that comes with a girl becoming a miniGTS and outgrowing things around her.
Shrinking takes my favorite part of the fetish and reverses it. For me, the comparison alone isn't enough. It's the growing that makes a giantess, not just the fact that she's taller than someone else. She needs to be taller than everyone else. For that same reason, stories where all women grow aren't particularly my cup-o-tea either.
As far as why I prefer specifically miniGTS as opposed to Giantess or Mega Giantess, I guess I just like keeping things somewhat realistic. I dunno. It's just what I dig.
When it comes down to it, it's all personal taste. This doesn't mean I can't enjoy a well-written miniGTS tale that involves shrinking, but it's the growing that makes a story appealing to me. That's the best explanation that I can offer.

I can understand that. Envirmental interactions are important. I've seen many people that like an image a lot better because a giantess is holding up a car or destroying the room she's growing in.

I think that's the key to how I feel too. People grow in real life, they generally don't shrink all that much. Admittedly most of the growth that you see in the MiniGts genre is fairly unrealistic, but it still seems more plausible. I think shrinking just seems more fantasy or science fiction-like no matter what you dress it in.
I also think it's because the heights shrinking related stories go into are unrealistic as well. You just don't see normally proportioned 3 foot tall people. That is not to say that you see many 7 foot babes either, but people have actually grown to those heights.
The situation that liveordie presented of a 5 foot girl compared to a 3 foot girl only has MiniGts themes if you take out all other context, or view it from the perspective of the 3 foot girl. Both choices require a bit too much disassociation from reality for my liking. I can't really relate to the 3 foot woman, or ignore the fact that the taller girl is actually a lot shorter than me so the illusion of a MiniGts is lost.
If you want to go into the more Freudian aspects, I guess I like the sense of power and superiority a MiniGts has and how humbling it is. That is not to imply the reverse about shrinking however, I just think being humble is a virtue which I like to tie in with my fantasies. And it's not specifically superiority compared to me, but also superiority over their prior selves, other women, etc. (something similar to what rob said). I would also agree with rob about the power trip that growing provides, the idea of watching that blend of power and perfection forming before your eyes is quite thrilling.
But none of that works with shrinking and diminuative women I'm sorry to say. I'm not utterly opposed to it, maybe a little shrinking would emphasis another character's growth, but as a focus point it does nothing for me.
To be honest, it feels very weird to be talking about all this, but hey, at least both growing and shrinking are fairly mild fetishes. Definetely, compared to some out there.

A girl that has been tall all of her life and puts down the other girls around her only to be taken down a few pegs to the smallest member of the group. It's more of a role reversal thing that gets me. That's probably why I have no problem with SM.
And the opposite of that is just as good. The smaller girl being given amazonian height.
What I enjoy in miniGTS stories are the erotic interactions between characters and their feelings (humiliation (love this a lot), powerlessness, vengeance, etc), so it doesn't bother me at all if there's shrinking instead of growing. It just depends on their relative size diference.

What he said!!
I'm surprised that such an awesome writer as yourself, would choose my words to express himself.
Thanks for that great complement. Your statement just seemed to bring together the last few elements that I didn't mention earlier. Humiliation, powerlessness, and vengeance are key elements in my favorite stories.
I know why I prefer mini- to giantess or mega-. I like to fantasize about fun things a giantess might do to/with me. (Gorthag's work shows much of what I mean.) What on earth does one do for fun with a 250 foot woman, no matter how beautiful?
