Lucius Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Genre-crossover nightmares I've been told that the "Redwall" books have sold almost as much if not more than the "Gor" novels, so the obvious way to go is to combine the two. Tarnsman of Redwall! And if "V" were reading this he'd give us a horrid example of what that book might really look like. Should we invite him over? Hey, V! It can be so much more. The only difference would be the aesthetic. ^.^ Take a "Conan" story. Now, with the violence and mature themes (including horror) prevalent to them, they are clearly not kids' stuff. On the other hand, Conan is not pornographic either, even though the movies have their (unerotic) nudes (though I don't know if that's part of the original tales, or just based on breasts being the cheapest crowd-pleaser.) Would any of that change if our barbarian hero was a wolf or a bear instead of a human? Personally, I don't think so. To me, furry is just another aesthetic, just like how many anime could just as easily be done in live action (Grave of the Fireflies or Barefoot Gen in particular). Those were animated because that was part of the desired aesthetic. Okay. Enough ranting from me. On the other hand, consider FreeFall: one of the main, if not THE main, characters is an anthropomorphic genetically engineered wolf. It would make a BIG difference if she weren’t, because an important part of the character is being a wolf among humans (and robots and aliens – well, one alien.) But it is definitely neither kid stuff nor erotica. My Little Shub-Niggurath Been done. http://www.whiteponyproductions.com/comicstrips/ctc/ctc0066.htm I can imagine that to the old tune from the 80s cartoon... Yeah, I watched both boys' cartoons and girls' cartoons. Mythos Babies (actually an idea I had for a line of sculptures, including baby Cthulhu, a baby shoggoth, and a Puppy of Tindalos) Also been done. http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45706&highlight=motivational+poster This is our own Hero Boards thread of “Motivational Posters” but I don’t know where Curufea got the Cthulhu Babies image – other than that it’s signed Thomas Sean Hedges ‘98 There are some things I don't want to know about rodents. Too bad. I’m going to sing anyway. This is my cross-genre nightmare for you all. The Mouse Trainer’s Child (To the tune of Horse Tamer’s Daughter) My mother was a mouse trainer at the edge of Halli Wood And her work was fine and the mice were cute but it did her little good For few folk now care to keep pet mice, with hamsters so widespread And guinea pigs and gerbils too, and even white rats are bred. So poor we were but free we were as a squirrel in treetop lair And I was a child as free and wild as the fleas in my tangled hair. My grandma told me fairy tales of the great days long ago When the Mouse God ruled and the cheese was taxed and the mouse priests ran the show. She said this one mouse had a club, and it was mighty big But I just laughed, cause grandma’s daft and a mouse club would be a twig. At most a mouse would wield a stick the size of a pencil stub Such a little arm could do little harm – I thought it a Mickey Mouse Club My mother had no hired help for she could ill afford To pay them wages for their work or even room and board. I helped her run the field mice down, squirrels and chipmunks too And when nothing sold for silver or gold we just had rodent stew. But I learned secret mousy things, and not just how to cook And I learned far more of the rodent lore than you’ll find in many a book. Chorus But I’ll never wear the T shirt, I’ll never wear the mouse ears My name is not enrolled, among the mousketeers. But if you see me jump, and do a funny dance Consider that the reason is, I’ve got mice in my pants.
