Housepets!

Bravo, bravo, bravo.

Great ending to a great story; I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

So apparently I'm a big fat liar. After a brief discussion with Coatl_Ruu, he asked if I could hold off on Part Three until he's wrapped up The Dogs of War (which is on its last chapter). Since Pt. 3 pretty much consists of just his characters, it seems like honoring his request is the right thing t...

You never fail to impress. Awesome job, and I can't wait for the next segment!

There is a parallel with shooting, kind of. If you tell someone you like shooting, a lot of people will think you're a white trash redneck, and some will even go so far as to think you're a dangerous borderline murderer. Just like furries, firearm enthusiasts have to suffer some pretty bad assumpti...

If I could put in my three cents (inflation)... I don't want to be contrarian here, but the answer may not be so sinister. Perhaps a more suitable comparison than "new shoes" would be another hobby (I think it's fair to say being a furry is a type of hobby, no?). For example, my two big ho...

Alas, Babylon Gardens Chapter One, Part Two November 21, 2010 0800h Babylon Gardens Foster Mansion In the kitchen of Martin Foster's house-- known to most residents of Babylon Gardens as "Foster Mansion"-- Martin and the rest of his "family" were seated at a small table in the s...

To clarify:

I'm not worried about eating bugs in my sleep or anything like that, it's just the idea of them crawling on my body without me knowing-- improbable or not. It's not like I obsess over it or anything, but the thought does enter my mind whenever I see/kill a bug in the house.

Heights: Whenever I'm on any object more than about twenty feet off the ground, I get freaked out that I'm going to run and throw myself off the ledge-- not that I ever would, of course. Lighthouses, balconies, and tall bridges all weird me out... but flying doesn't bother me in the least. Whether i...

"The Executive"

ENTJ

33 38 50 33

What with being on a smartphone and all, I can't really post big quotes from the test results, but... wow. The description is alarmingly close to who I am, warts and all.

Any other ENTJs out here...?

Has anyone gotten the name reference yet? I thought it was kinda clever... A quick note: the whole RP section on these forums is totally unfamiliar to me, but if anyone from there has a character or characters they'd like to see in the story, let me know! I'm always looking for some well-fleshed-out...

It's awesome to have seen all these protests, and that seems to have raised awareness of these terrible bills. This may assuage your concerns, Xane: I haven't seen big news outlets covering it (not sure why) but a lot of conservatives are outraged over SOPA and PIPA, and a few movement leaders have ...

Ooh! Crysis quotes!

"You lied to us, you twisted [REDACTED]!"
"Perhaps I was... economical with the truth, yes."
--Flashback conversation between Prophet and Hargreave, Crysis 2.

Alas, Babylon Gardens Chapter One, Part One 0530 November 21, 2010 Babylon Gardens Residence of Celia and Thomas Milton Wow , thought Thomas. I must be getting really tired. I'm seeing things. Nothing's made sense in these last few hours. . He pulled himself out of his chair, walking over to the si...

Alas, Babylon Gardens Chapter One, Part Zero A giant game table the size of galaxies sprawls across space. On it rests a large and incredibly intricate board, covered with symbols, boxes, and game pieces of all sizes. On each side is a massive, well-worn leather chair. At present only one of the fo...

Let me see... besides Housepets! and all the other great comics already mentioned, here are two more (both webcomics): The Whiteboard-- Paintball + Mad science + Mountain Dew. Even if (like me) you could care less about paintball, it still deserves your attention. The strips over the past year have ...

Nice to hear the positive reception, everyone. I hope you're enjoying reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it! Copper (and anyone else who was wondering about the time): you're correct; 0400 is 4AM and 1600 is 4PM. But milsim events aren't exactly nine-to-five affairs, either-- many "ops&...

Guess I take too long to post when three new replies have come up. Anyways... Flint: Why can't people stop fighting each other pointlessly? It comes down to this: persuasion and force. Those are the only two ways I can get another person to do something. For example, I could walk up to you and say, ...

PROLOGUE "Operation Thunderhead" 0312h Local Unmarked Road Four shadowy figures slowly crept down a dirt road. Their attire was quite oviously military: vests laden with pouches that bulged with grenades and spare magazines, camouflage fatigues, and combat boots. The rifles they carried (...

Poor Duke! Will the guy ever catch a break?

Excellent work, as always.

A new year, a new fanfic... ********** "Babylon Gardens-- a pet-friendly community." The truth of this phrase is about to be tested as never before. When Martin Foster, philanthropist extraordinaire, gets word of an impending catastrophic event-- a nationwide EMP attack-- he leverages his ...

I was talking more about just being a furry. The whole tail/ears/collar thing doesn't exactly appeal to me. But then, I'm a fairly un-furry furry. For lack of a better term.

So you think a decade or less, huh? Hmm. Be interesting to see how it plays out...

The scariest part of all this, though, isn't the legislation (in my opinion). Because even as bad as the bill is, it's limited and easy to circumvent if necessary. BUT. The infrastructure that this legislation requires could be used for any sort of censorship in the future. And, theoretically, once ...

Seth-- I hear you. My circumstances don't allow that either. Ah well. And you're a braver man than I, Dissension. Assuming you don't just wear that shirt for the purpose of taking pictures of yourself (kidding!). Wonder how long it'll be until furry stuff doesn't raise eyebrows more than anything el...

Joy: Had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family.

Sorrow: Accidentally deleted my fanfiction (several pages) and had to retype ALL OF IT while it was fresh in my mind.

Excellent! I suppose THAT metaphorical bullet's been dodged now. Still, it will be interesting to see how the votes come down... that'll be serious ammunition in '12, I bet.

Okay, sorry for all the misunderstanding, everyone. That's what I get for writing a mega-post on a phone at two in the morning. Heh. Touge: What I was trying to say was that MY post was ambiguous and flaky-sounding, not yours. Yours was straight to the point, so no need to apologize. Unfortunately, ...

Sorry it took so long to post this stuff. In between a roadtrip, college applications, being sick, etc. it's been hard to find time. Now, on to the links. House Bill: judiciary.house.gov/hearings/pdf/112 HR 3261.pdf Senate Bill: leahy.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/BillText-PROTECTIPAct.pdf Odds of passag...

Thanks for bringing this thing up, ChewyChewy. Scary stuff, especially since the whole "affirmative defense" language seems to indicate that you'd be guilty until proven innocent, with your website shut down until you can prove an allegation false. And (at least the way I'm reading the bil...

Note: on the off chance anyone else has written a reply while I've been working on mine, this post is directed towards the reply immediately below my first post. How... HOW DARE YOU reply to my long, ambiguous post with a short and probably valid point. The gall! (although that post was a waaay angs...

First post on the forums here; I suppose this is a fitting thread for that. So to begin: hello all! HP! is a great comic, and it looks like it also attracts just generally nice folks. So it's great to be here. Anyways, moving on to the topic at hand: Perhaps a little history first: around a year ago...
