Alright, so, in an effort to practice writing, and particularly practice thinking of peices of writing as a cohesive, complete though, I'm going to try writing some very short things, under 1000 words (although they could end up much shorter, depending.)

And so, I am opening what is sort of a requests thread.  But I have no intention of doing every request, so really more of a suggestion thread.  Feel free to throw out a whole bunch of suggestions and I'll pick ones I like, or maybe just make something up on my own.  Creativity is strongly encouraged ^-^ .  Making me read back-story is not >.<

I'll probably start out doing one a day until I lose momentum, then it'll just be whenever >.<

Hooray! Short stories are really fun to write.

How about....

Anthro; High School Setting.

Everyone is in a normal, human world. But gradually, one kid starts seeing all of his classmates and teachers becoming anthro representations of themselves.

((February must be request month. ]:)))

...but that's just my opinion, so don't let it bother you too much!

Hmmm...
How bought a sort of strip-poker but with TFs?

Now crime only goes up if you don't turn the graph upside-down. Turn it upside-down, and it has halved. Halved! Under me, Alex Shrub.

Now that seems like a kind of cool idea.  I'm thinking like, Jumangi as a card game ^-^

eeehh. while strip poker but with TFs sounds interesting (and funny) I don't think Jumangi is a good match. When you play that game you play for your life. It'd be kind weird to have a game go from "This next turn might kill us" to "This next turn might give me weird ears".

I am not really a funny writer.  Although if someone gives me a really fun wacky scenario I might play it straight, but more likely I'm gonna put a darker twist on things. ^.^

Don't worry, there'll be more than ears at stake.

     If I remember right, Jumanji was about as likely to do both, often at the same time.  It would inflict just about anything from mildly uncomfortable to outright fatal.  The only thing predictable about it was that it would nearly always be something bad.  That... actually does sound like it would make a good story.  Murphy's card game or something.

Finished the first one!  It was a lot of fun, I think I'm going to want to keep Winter and Mortimer for future stories.  Set in the same universe as Lonely Howling, a universe I really need to name sometime.  Final word count: 1332.

Anyway, I need more suggestions, come one people ^-^

Maybe you'd be kind enough to write a story in which Kiba takes care of his son, Gary?

I love people. Especially nice people. Especially nice people who give me bellyrubs. <3

wait a minute, if Kiba is age-regressed then hows he able to have had children?
