It's still a lovely little piece you crept up upon. :D

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck...

WHOOO WOO WOOWOOWOOWOOWOO >8B

Muuuuuud! ^_^

Hey - hope the ramp-up to Worldcon/Hugos is going well for you, BTW. We've been priming the Auz/NZ voters with our 'Vote for Taral, or your head will be consumed by earwigs" campaign. Surprisingly effective!

Great! I'll provide the earwigs. Or maybe worse...

So far things go well. I've just found out I'll be presenting the Best Fanzine Hugo to whoever wins in that category. I've already put out the word that I'm open to bribes.

Yes! Otherwise they can say 'hello to Mr Fire Hose!"




I'm currently writing real old-style Sci Fi, and having a ball with it. Since self pub is the only way out these days, I should hit your Hugo-nominated butt up for a cover when I'm done. Gals with freckles - space going flying boats. YO!

Self-publishing is *not* the only game in town! There are still people who pay you for that sort of thing. The catch is, *they* judge whether it's worth paying for or not...

Looks to me like she's just playing in the mudd. lol

maybe she's just thinking about the mudd.

Or even about the muddd.

Doe the exxtra "d's" mean somethinging?

lol no. I just suck at spelling. lol

Oh. I don't like making remarks about people's spelling (or typing). I just thought that since you spelled it "mudd" twice, it must be on purpose.

"Come have fun in the mud with me." might be what she's thinking.
Excellent sketch, Taral.

She's looking at that glob of mud falling off her foot and going "notintheeye notintheeye notintheeye...!"

squish!

I dunno if she's really 'thinking' about anything. It looks like the lazy, fuzzy calmness that you get on warm spring afternoons as you're just luxuriating in the fact that the world is green once again.

Probably the day, the clouds, her life, what is going to happen at the dance that night.. until the mud fell on her face, then it was all about the mud.

I'm tempted to theorize that she's considering how mud feels on her feet and wondering what it would feel like on the rest of her body. So cool, so smooth, so heavy, kinda dirty... What would it be like to have that mud covering her dirty places, so heavy and smooth, trying to push itself inside? Would she let it inside? What would she do if she were covered in mud, swimming in it, what would it feel like? And where could she go to do that...

...but no, I'm not going to even think about that theory. I might be stereotyping you if I did that. And no offense, but one of you typing is enough.

I bet she's wondering where the nearest laundromat is.

Actualy I Think A Girl So Cute And Hot Likes Her The Same Can Have Mud In Their Feets, Hands Or Face And Includes With That Little Detail Looks Awsowe And At The Same Time Adorable. The Way Likes She Seduce At The Eye Is Really Effective By Itself With This Single Image And Keeping The Potential For Inspirate Other Guys By Diferent Reasons And At Diferent Levels...
