Pinky Makes it Big is an ongoing web serial novel written by Mcdead, with the first chapter being published on March 8, 2022. It currently has seven chapters.
Puella Velasquez is a young woman down on her luck: with a dead-end job and rent to pay, she spends all the time she can performing on the streets in a vain hope that she'll finally be recognised as the talent she knows she is. But after a particularly bad day she storms home and falls fast asleep... only to awake the next day to find her body steadily growing larger, and larger, and larger. With this strange new condition showing no signs of fading, Puella decides her best course of action is to take advantage while she can - after all, who can take their eyes off of a building-sized woman? It's a chance to be put in the history books, and she will not let the opportunity go to waste.

Pinky Makes it Big provides examples of:
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech:
- Kristian gives a very public speech about his daughter, much to Puella's frustration.
- Puella gives one right back when meeting him face to face.
- Abusive Parents: Kristian's approach to raising Puella was very authoritarian and harsh - enough that she ran away from home.
- Accidental Murder: Puella gets too into a show of power at her father's expense, resulting in her crushing him by accident.
- Ambiguous Situation: Puella's sudden and constant growth is never explained in the story.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Puella grows more destructive the larger she gets.
- Character Title: Puella's pseudonym while giant, 'Pinky', is in the story's title.
- Colour Character: Puella's pseudonym, 'Pinky', is in reference to the distinct pink bikini she wears.
- Deconstructed Character Archetype: The Giant Woman. Puella remains an attractive woman with a revealing outfit who causes a lot of damage for selfish reasons, but unlike most stories focused on giant rampaging women, Pinky Makes it Big focuses more on the gradual development from a normal person to a rampaging monster rather than the change being near-instantaneous.
- Giant Woman: Puella gradually grows larger and larger as the story goes, from the size of a truck to a house and beyond.
- In-Series Nickname: Puella is insistent that everyone calls her 'Pinky' once she embraces her growing size.
- Involuntary Shapeshifting: Of the growing kind. Puella is continually getting bigger and bigger with no idea how to stop it. Not that she tries.
- Magic Pants: Puella's pink bikini grows alongside her.
- Male Gaze: The outfit Puella ends up stuck with as she grows larger is a revealing pink bikini, which she takes full advantage of to keep eyes on her.
- Missing Mum: Puella's mother isn't mentioned in the story.
- Power Incontinence: Puella has no control over her growth powers as they steadily make her larger and larger.
- Sizeshifter: Puella grows continually, though there's no known way for her to shrink.
- Vague Age: Though Puella is clearly a young adult woman, her exact age is never said in the story.
- Villain Protagonist: Puella isn't exactly the most virtuous of people, which only becomes more evident the more power she gets.
- Your Size May Vary: Puella's height is ever-changing, whether she likes it or not.
