A Cause for Celebration! (And some other stuff)

Happy Pi Day! While it's still Pi day at least!
Another number related joy: 6000 page views! Cool!
Also... For the time being, I've given 666 comments! Neat!
In other news... I've been feeling pretty good about my writing lately. I sort of wrote myself into a corner with Emma, because I didn't want to write any of her peeps during her... vacation, so I had to just write Emma for a while, which was a little stifling. The good news: That part of the story is nearly complete, which means personal horizons are broadening as far as that storyline is concerned. Woo! I can go back to her friends, and I've got a lot of stories lined up for all kinds of people, lots of development, almost as much gratuitous sex, and some ongoing craziness coming to the beginnings of a head. *Ominous Music*
And to close, some musing:
Should a Naga be considered a taur? Torso of a humanoid, back-end of a legless creature?
How do tauric creatures of bipedal animals work? The first thing to come to mind is a pelican-taur. I laughed for a while, but I imagined a whole lot of imbalanced flailing.
A few people have been rumbling that they'd like to see some taurs from me, either TFs or just there. Would any of you guys like to see some characters of intriguing anatomy pop up. I'm kind of half-planning a tauric character for a short series of side stories who is part of the Southcliff City Guard. (Because I thought through their eyes would be a good opportunity to see Southcliff proper without the lens of magic or draconic arrogance, while throwing in a little something new into the works.)
Just some musing! I'm going to go back to writing. (I actually finished the next of Emma's pieces, but I went to the County Fair today - Yay - and I'm beat, so I'm going to wait to edit and proofread it in favor of some writing and some sleep.) Keep on bein' awesome!

But I'd say nagas are totally taurs. And taurs of bipedal creatures: probably really awkward.
I personally am a purist: "taur" indicates a hybrid where the lower half has four limbs, commensurate with the original species. That having been said, I'm not opposed to more unusual characters. You just get to dust off your Latin phrasebook to figure out what to call them :)
2) Anytime I've heard the descriptor 'taur' used, there have been legs involved. More than the traditional two, and sometimes considerably more, in the case of insectile types or a 'taur-train' (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/8681158/)
Nagas seem to be consistantly referred to when it involves a character that has no legs at all, sometimes no arms as well, but an ability to hold its upper body off the ground and still move about.
3) Tag me on Skype or Steam. I might be tempted to toss you a commission concept that's been stewing in my mind for a while.
As for taurs...I tend to think of them of creatures with four limbs. After all, taur is short for centaur...just without the horse bits. Now you've got me curious about the origins of the word centaur...
