Description
A femtocosm is the size inverse of planet dwarfing or landscape dwarfing.
Instead of a terra macro being so gigantic that they dwarf a "normal-sized" planet in space, a femtocosm is when a femto-sized or smaller microscopic civilization lives on a tiny planet, snowglobe, petri dish, pawscape, or similar is so tiny that they are miniscule specks compared to the "normal-sized" people around them.
Posts tagged femtocosm should only be tagged femto if a character of that size is visible.
