Catch of the Day - art by RickGriffin
I'm posting at least one thing a day, all October long! (I said I would!: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8438014/ See?)
~
It's the third day of the month, so I'm posting pictures of my third character, who came after Amethystine and ArachNed.
AcePrion! The Prionace glauca/Blueshark! (Take a look in his folder if you don't know him.)
~
Because of course I had to use that title!
This is by the stellar
rickgriffin, and here's his post: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4496876/
Wow, it's been 7 years since I got this!
I always meant to write a story for this one, and I actually did write a good amount of it soon after the picture was done. Then some years after that, I wrote most of the rest of it.
So now, I hope I finally finish it. Of course, saying all this about how I wrote it in parts and how it's taken years will make you think that it's some huge epic book-length thing, but no! It's currently sitting at just about 15,000 words, which is pretty middling for me. It's about a down-on-her-luck fisherwoman (female fisherman? fisherperson?) who meets someone who, in her estimation, is a mythical entity. Merpeople don't exist, surely!
I'm sure to finish it at some point, maybe as another day's post for my 'posting once a day' thing this month.
WHAT SAY YOU? How much do you want to see a story with Ace?

There are an okay number of """sharks""" on FA. Of course, when I say """sharks""" I mean characters like this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/24990558/
So yeah, there aren't enough characters that look a lot like actual sharks, I agree. :>

Rick had a reputation at that time for being a totally clean furry artist, never drawing genitalia on his anthros. The fins in question are modified in males to be part of the male's sexual function. 'Claspers', they're called. Although I don't think they do any clasping, really. I would think the male's jaws do some clasping onto the female's pectoral fin while one or the other of the claspers is actually acting as an 'inserter'. >___>

I had a semi-substantial tale for this one almost finished, and I just never managed to actually conclude it satisfactorily. I will someday, though! O:
Thanks for the fave. :>

After going through all your shark stories up to this point, I'd seen mention of these so-called 'claspers' and how they'd been treated. Up to this point I was a bit fuzzy on how they actually looked in the physical. I needn't any more detail!

I saw the mention of a ~15k word story being teased! I'll just have to wait.
