Nice work. Sad to hear it's a downhill ride for the poor girl.

Well, it's a roller coaster =V more like. and it's a roller coaster Tabitha is making worse for herself by throwing her weight around and generally screaming "OMG I'M GONNA FALL OUT" as she tries to jump out of the seat...

... i-it's an accurate analogy, I swear.

Haha, that's a rather good analogy! I think there is some general positive thinking rule that you must never focus on things that you wish to avoid, or else you'll unconsciously make them happen. Like my friends who play golf say, if you keep thinking "must not hit the water" then you'll inevitably end up in the water. Too bad Tabitha never played golf...

if she's afraid of being raped and tortured, surely she's asking for it =V since she can't stop thinking about it so much!

well, that's what the maned wolf's been saying anyway.

Poor thing, it's not her fault but at the same time it is, since she keeps bringing up the subject.

I suppose if this had been a happy story she would get a light punishment together with a serious talk, and maybe get the punishment/rape thing out of her head, but your words about the next chapter suggest the opposite.

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid the stereotypical Masters with the maned wolf. He's not the kind that's all "I AM EVIL AND WILL RAPE AND ABUSE YOU BITCH O MURR" but he's also not "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH LET'S JUST BE LOVERS O MURR." Not that cliches are bad or anything, I just want him to be something... well, yeah.

I dunno! We'll see when I finish the next chapter. It'll have another fun look into the maned wolf's mind. We might actually learn his name! H-He has a name.

I also finally decided on the ending I want so I know exactly where the story is going now so it makes it easier to write it. It also means that the characters will fluctuate a whole lot less =V

I'm rambling because I'm a squid

It all sounds good to me, especially the part about avoiding stereotypical masters. I appreciate the hard work you put into the story.

I sometimes add bland comments, because I am a bland person who still uses the default avatar. Hmm...

Nah, you're one of the more interesting commenters I've had on anything : o

and yes, i doubt your fursona is a bucket of art supplies : O what species are you?

Why thank you!

I AM THE ANTHRO PAINTBRUSH OF DOOM! I STAIN, THEREFORE I AM!

To be honest, I'm not much of an active participant in the furry community, but instead mostly a watcher/reader/consumer of fine arts. I did make up a character once, a male rabbit-breed cook, generally a nice guy - in other words, boring, bland, dull, and likely to end up as prey to some burly wolves. I guess I need to come up with something better. A crime-fighting male rabbit-breed cook with sharp knives and a witty personality. Hmm... needs more work I think...

A mouse who murders and skins rabbits, using their sewn-together pelts to appear as a male rabbit-breed cook with sharp knives and a witty personality!

Everyone knows that it's a mouse in a rabbit skin-suit, but everyone is too afraid to say anything about it.

=V Sorry. First thing that popped into mind.

Uhm, I think I had something slightly more likable in mind, but thanks for the feedback

I'll save your idea as a possible character in a horror story, for when I feel the urge to try some writing.

Horror? Unlikeable? But it sounds so fuzzy and cute ; o ;

... until you got a closer look and noticed the cold non-smiling eyes and the sharp knives held behind his back, but then it would be too late!

Nono, the discussion was about a possible character for an avatar/fursona, and while I occasionally read the hawt fuzzy slavery porn story here - purely for scientific research purposes yessir - I like to think that I'm not a completely bad or deranged person, so the mouse-wearing-a-rabbit-costume idea is out. Besides, it would be hard to draw as well. My skills are... limited.

Waitaminute. I just created some abstract rabbit-approximation-shite and uploaded that as an avatar. That way, you can pretend it is a weirdo mouse in a rabbit suit, while I can think he is generally a nice guy. Everybody wins!

By the way, when I eventually publish my groundbreaking novel about Stephen Fry - the crime-fighting cook, Buffalo Mouse - the homicidal rabbit-fur-clad tailor - will be a worthy adversary. Oh, and before I forget, the novel will contain lots of horrible puns about cooking. Sizzlin'!

Rabbits are cool. Can you tie your ears back like a ponytail? =V

and ohgoodness x3 Buffalo Mouse.

But look at it like this : O Someone who everyone thinks is good has more than enough room to have a hidden dark side. Someone who is blatantly murderous you can trust, because you always know where you stand with them!

I know they said that in Pirates of the Caribbean but I totally always said that before I saw that movie >: I Johnny Depp, you have plundered my mind for the last time.

That would be physically possible but would not look very good, unless you're into ear bondage. I think you already subjected poor Tabitha to ear abuse, so maybe ear bondage would turn you on, you wicked squid.

I see what you are saying about trustworthy characters, and therefore, to you that rabbit will really be Buffalo Mouse, rotten to the core and feared by everybody. Sometimes he even steals candy from little children!

I also feel your pain about stolen ideas. I had this great story idea about an annoying little runt called Happy Crocker, who went to school to further develop his magic abilities. There were lots of annoying white-haired bullies at the school, but fortunately Happy quickly learned to channel his forces and zapped them crispy. Then he turned the school into an evil lair. Unfortunately I never got around to publishing the story as I was "busy" reading stuff on the net, so along came this woman, Growling i think she called herself, and stole the idea out of my mind but made Happy a total sissy instead. Tragic. (*)

Thereby endeth todays fooling around. I wish you a pleasant night! Just remember to run if you see a bunny that looks slightly off, as if its skin was just a costume.


(*) If any billionaire author with a horde of blood sucking leaches, erm lawyers, happens to read this, then I cannot completely rule out the possibility that said talented author came up with the idea first. I still think my version would be more satisfying. Stephen the cook would call it tasty and smokin' hot!

The thing with ferret ears is that they're way too small. No, Tabitha's getting... a bit more harsh of a treatment, anyway, in the new chapter. W-When I actually get around to writing it. Playing Spyro now =V Coop dragons. Rockin'.

You need to get a tinfoil hat =V fashionable AND protects from thought theives.
