New Short Story : Theodore’s Adventure
A quick and fun writing prompt done with Bre (edited by the talented Steve Hall) is now up!
Theodore’s Adventure chronicles the very beginning of Theodore’s tale – how one very small piglet can get into very big trouble.
Bonus content : a rabbit in an overcoat!

Re: My email. I meant the next paragraph, not the one I cited. I am full of fail, but barely into my first cup of coffee.*
Oh…and where is this bonus content? I was expecting artwork, m’dear! :D
* Lack of coffee is simply a convenient excuse, not one I actually subscribe to. ;)
Whups! Sorry about that. I think I had it fixed in the first round and then rewrite that line three or four times and lost it again. =]
The bonus content is a rabbit in an overcoat! I believe rabbits in overcoats are bonus content for ANY story.
Can you imagine how much more interesting War and Peace would have been if it had been written starring rabbits in overcoats?
;)
I do wish I had time to actually do artwork on the fly like that. Sadly, it takes hours and hours of dedicated time to get something polished and scanned and uploaded. Less time if it doesn’t need to be colored, but still.
You do realize we’d be satisfied with first-draft sketches, do you not?
-I- would not be satisfied with first draft sketches!
Bah…artists! (And if I knew how to do so, this is where I would sniff primly…or something like that.)
Since I’ve already sniffed primly, you could flounce or something.
Straight guys don’t flounce. Well, unless they’re wide receivers or in the NBA.
What? I have no idea.
I think flouncing should be a non-discriminatory activity. Anyone can flounce.
…not everyone is going to look adorable in a little skirt while they do it. For example, my not-a-straight-guy friend Sasquatch, who came by his nickname honestly and with no irony.
I confess: I’ve never read War and Peace. It was even bigger than Shirer’s Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, of which I managed to read perhaps twenty percent. However, had either book entertained rabbits (are we sure it’s a rabbit, and not a hare, btw?) in overcoats, I’m sure I’d have been completely enthralled.
I mean, Peter Cottontail in a waistcoat is awesome…but in an overcoat? *boggle*
*giggle* My point has been made. *sniffs primly*
I demand video proof of a prim sniff.
This was a great story and I enjoyed reading it immensly. I love the word gruntle. I love the thought of a fairy piglet. I imagine little gossamer wings, but they weren’t mentioned, so I’m curiuos if there are any outward signs of his fairyness
<3 I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I'm not entirely sure, on the wings. I hadn't thought of it, or I'd have added it.
If I were to go back and edit it in, I think he'd be the only one of his litter who didn't have the wings. *nod*
Oooooo, Teddy-Baby doesn’t get wings? that’s so sad
:*(
Can’t you just imagine him looking sorrowfully down his nose, ears flopping over his face as he confessed he had no wings?
