I should go back to sleep, but how neat! I found this on the front page. 8D
When I wake up fully I will read on, I'm looking forward to it. :D

*Nods* Rodents are night creatures, so I am not surprised that you are ace in pulling the infamous, "All Nighter." :) There's also the true fact that the most interesting people come out after dark. *nods*

I do hope you enjoy this section. I couldn't think of anyone better to use for these cunning and crafty characters. Mind you, they're not meant to be evil. Rather, you should consider them uber entrpreneurial. :)

Ehehe, oh wow. 8D It looks like everyone in the forest has put up a real fight so far, that's really cool. :D But it's really been an ongoing war, huh? Well it's neat that we get to find out more about some of the villains as well as the heroes!
I don't mind being on either side of the battle, and this time I get to be on both sides! Ahaha. :D
I like that they all get to be a team too! Successful or not, I'm sure they'll try their hardest to fight. (:
Also, it's an honor to be a part of your story! I'm glad I could be a part of it in more than one way too. It might be easier to put your friends in as good guys, unless maybe they'd prefer to be the enemy, but I'm glad ya knew I wouldn't mind being either. :D I think I understand not all enemies are necessarily evil anywho, there are always different sides to each story! Hehe. Either way, I'll be cheering everyone on. 8D Good times to come!

I'm very glad you are cool with it. Actually, when I initially conceived "The Quick and the Angry," I wanted Fuxie and someone else. However, I couldn't find anyone to compliment her unique personality, which you noted in the image. So, rather than stressing it, I opted to go have a little fun with Coonishi and Yoshi Nishi.

Yoshi Nishi was chosen, because, as I've seen, he seems like a fun fellow who really wants to be accepted and have friends. However, for some reason, he always appears to struggle. So, when Fuxie found him and noticed his talent, she used her sly ways to befriend the lovable Yoshisaur who, to be honest, never does anything violent. He's just the "Wheelman" of the group.

As for Coonishi, I went with him on the premise of just how Raccoons are naturally cunning. Also, if I recall right, he always seemed to be in thought during the "Circle Saga." For this reason, I figured his own, personal purpose in the group was simply to figure out where he rightfully belonged while he got to travel with people who interested him. Not that he is totally committed, but more intrigued by Fuxie's demeanor and Yoshi Nishi's ever happy and positive attitude. :)

What do you think? ;)

Hehe, I think that sounds just right! (: It's hard to find a good pair of villains, that's why I'm glad I could at least make Fuxie, but I think since most of your pals might be more on the kind side, it might be more likely they have characters for themselves, or other non-villainous creation, so it'd be tough to find one unless you made one up yourself! (Though, I think that's the King in this situation!)

Fuxie would be good at getting plenty of people to join up with her. And really, the way you described her and Coonishi sounds like something in real life. One girl in particular I know is kinda socially manipulative, like you described with Fuxie getting Nishi to join up with her. I might not agree with her or think she's the right type of person to spend a lot of time around, but it's still nice to learn more about people (especially when they're so different from ourselves) and learn more from that relationship if you can. It's definitely intriguing. And having a positive attitude around is why he paired up with Ox in the Circle Saga! Hehehe, you're great at this stuff. ;P

D'aww. *cush-cush* Thanks, Oxnard. I'm so happy you think so and I take it as high praise knowing I did your characters justice.

On a side note, I could've easily created my own villians. Though, to be honest, that would've taken the fun out of it to a degree. This is because, aside from writing a good story, I really wanted to pay homage to all of you who have done so much for me in making me into a better writer, as well as a better person.

My ultimate hope is that, in utilizing your works as models, I could show just how much you each have had an impact on me as a whole while, at the same time, introducing readers to some wonderful pieces / artists they may not have known were out there. That's what makes this Special Project, well, "Special." ;)

As I told MJ after he was so kind as to create that recent gift art for me, I only hope the amazing talent and kindness of people like you continues to inspire others like myself for many years to come. :) Without you, I most certainly would've been lost a long, long time ago.
