^v^ Aria's Story, now The Last Tanuki
10 years ago
General
So, I started Aria's Story some time ago, inspired by a picture drawn by 
skisharp and I've been steadily working it. It was supposed to be a short story, but I set it in a world I'd been toying with in other stories and Aria quickly got herself tangled up with the political and religious authorities of her planet, Tereathon. It actually wasn't her fault. She was just sort of born into the midst of it.
Anyway, the short story took on a life of its own and demanded more attention, so that now it's at like, I don't know, 120+ pages.
I'm well enough into it that the first chapters are not likely to get another rewrite, so I figured I'd start posting it. I'll post the first four chapters today and then about one per week (more or less) after that until it's done.
I hope someone enjoys reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it. My 16-year-old daughter has been my test subject -- I read it out loud to her to hear it back and get her input on it. She keeps asking me "have you written any more of your story yet?" so it can't be all bad, I guess
Here's chapter 1: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17300363/

But speaking of fans, I just got around to reading "Wet" on Weasyl .... I really liked that one, tight, some good anthro touches, fun ending twist, strong main character development, all in just a few pages. Nice job, V.!
