Well, i thought the interactive story would be good...but since  knifesharpener and i were the only ones who put any effort into it, im second guessing that. So, since it was so incredibly unpopular, i wanna know what you think we should do as a group on here? Should we try the story again? Have another contest? What should we do?

I thought id ask some questions again as well for discussion:

1) Western adult animation is popular, and it has happened to a lot characters that are involved in them, especially Homer Simpson. Who else have you seen it happen to in those types of shows or who would you like to see it happen to? Justify your answer. (its more interesting that way lol)

2) Name a moment in real life, or tv program, where a stomach growl didnt occur but you wish it did.

hey folks. Boy, i kinda let this group go unattended to for a little too long, back on track now. As you can see,  knifesharpener has his drawing as our profile pic now because you all voted it ^^.

And now for the main event, another member and i have thought up of a way to get back into the spirit of what the group is all about, and that way is by starting an interactive story (obviously featuring the theme to which the group is based off of). The rules are simple:

-each person writes only one paragraph at a time
-keep the same story flowing (obviously)
-dont leave "choices" or "split paths" at the end of your paragraph. This is not writing.com
-keep everything tasteful and relevant. Remember what this group is all about ^^
-have fun
-any character is allowed. just make sure you specify (IN BRACKETS) where they came from.

This story will start on THIS journal. once its posted.

One final rule...please for the love of god dont comment on this journal, and dont post anything irrelevant. Only post a paragraph for the story. (if you have a question for me,  sherwoodboy, make sure to enclose it in brackets next to your paragraph)

in a few minutes ill be posting the nominees for the new avatar pic, just thought id let you all know that.

also, i need help ( im  sherwoodboy in case anyone is curious) i need help deciding which of the following characters of mine i should be a prime target for fan servicey stuff (like belly growls and weight gaining, vore, etc). Each of them do support it at times but id like a character that i could use as a main attraction for it.

theres April http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6290298/ ( I highly doubt she'll be the one i choose but i wanna hear some opinions)

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6290218/ Maria

and Kari http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6391492/

just using this to see what you guys think. This isnt set in stone quite yet

ok so in no way did i plan to just take off and forget about this group, ive been fairly busy lately. I think its time to pick up where we left off. The contest in which we vote for a new avatar pic will start when i get the pictures cropped. I have two already, but im missing one from furshinkuu.

Anyway, perhaps the random questions are in order again...

actually, i cant think of any myself. Perhaps ill let you guys ask them again. Fire away (if you wish)

so as decided in the last journal, we are going to have a contest to decide which pic will get to be our new profile pic (replacing the ever adorable belly of april). We have an entry from  knifesharpener and we are waiting on two other entries as well. If you have something you wanna enter, feel free to respond with a picture reference.

Now for my non sensible and always fan servicey questions...

Can anyone describe their most favorite belly growling experience? this could be real life but ALSO RP. But please, if its going to get "fetishy", dont mention any close family member experiences...

(this is a bottom of the barrel question) Out of the following fictional characters: Renamon, Krystal, Pumbaa, Tom and Jerry, Lola Bunny, and Sally (sonic the hedgehog), whose belly would you wanna listen to the most? And it what sort of scenario would you wanna do it? (try and get specific with this, its more fun that way ^^. And please...dont add characters.)

Well, ive had my Character April's stomach as the group pic for the longest time. I was thinking about changing it, but not entirely sure. I could crop the belly from another pic done by  buduse thats in my  sherwoodboy gallery, or if anyone has any other suggestions feel free to leave them. What do you think though, Switch it to something better or leave it the way it is?

havent done one of these in a while, and to be honest these questions are off the top of my head haha

#1) In the whole animal/furry sense, is it a bonus for you if their belly is a different color than the main fur color? Sylvester from Looney Tunes is a good example of that if you're confused by the question. (like i said, right off the top of my head :P)

#2) if you had the money now, and could commission a belly growling pic from ANYONE right now, who would it be and who would it feature?

#3) Do you have your own OC that is to this fetish in anyway?

 midi needs help for a game hes creating. It involves being able to vore, and he needs sound effects for the belly. Can anyone help him with this? He would really appreciate it

Hello all! just like to say that im pleased with the overall growth of this group ^^. I started it to see how many people i could get together with the same interest, thinking there would only be a few people that join, but to my great surprise it has hopped up to almost 20 people! That is great to see.

normally i dish out random questions that involve growling bellies (you can refer to previous journals to see the questions ive asked). Today im gonna switch it up. ill let you guys ask the questions! The rules are simple, keep the questions relevant, it has to strictly relate to growling bellies. just post them in the comments below. anyone who wants to answer can, i myself will most likely do so

Alright were gonna put a twist into things here. For anyone interested here is what im gonna attempt to start.

Name a TV show, movie, or anything like that you are curious if there is a stomach growl in it. Anyone who wants to can search for some in that specific show and try to find something (i myself will try extremely hard haha)

You can also describe a certain picture either on this site or any other site you wanna see, someone can go look for that too. Just trying to get everyone active and participating.

if anyone happens to find anything, please post links in the comments

Now we wait for the first request...

ill just get into it without an introduction:

1) If you could pick any cartoon character out of all of them to have a hungry growling stomach (even if they never suffered one) who would it be and why?

2) If you could pick any OC character (that means any person's fursona or original character on this site) and listen to their stomach as it growls in any sort of way, who would it be?

3) Stethoscope or your own ear? ^^

 knifesharpener kindly linked and allowed me to upload all of the belly growling pics he's ever drawn, which is great for the group because now we finally have something to look at and its less empty haha. More art for the gallery would be sweet so if anyone gets permission or gets one done themselves, then please tell me, it would be greatly appreciated.

since this is still a relatively small group, this is about the only thing we can do haha. So im gonna continue thinking of topics to chat about, maybe that'll give people ideas for things, i dunno.

Topic #1 - What species makes for awesome anthro belly growl pics and drawings?

Topic #2 - How often have you come across belly growling in Media? such as TV shows and Movies? (people, in all honesty, if your looking for an episode of a cartoon where a belly growls, i probably know which one it is.)

Topic 3 - Does anyone have a specific fantasy theyve ever wanted to experience or have RPed before that featured belly noises?

Any responses to this would be greatly appreciated

I think there are enough people here now where we can open a discussion. Ive got two questions for anyone willing to discuss:

What type of belly noise is your favorite? (Ex: What species, gender, and of course hungry or digesting)

What is your favorite belly growl of all time (Movies, TV Shows, etc)

This was long overdue......

How is everyone (so few of you) doing? Glad to see you all took interest in the group dedicated to stomach noises specifically.

I think the first thing we should do is see how many people we can recruit first. Ive been trying to myself. If any of you know others with this fetish please inform them such a group exists.

Also, you may notice both the favorites and submissions sections are empty. Should i fill the submission section up with other people's artwork and credit them (sounds like a HORRIBLE idea but might as well ask) or just favorite a bunch? not sure which will be more effective
