Just finished reading the story. Hmmm, I guess we don't need to know who won the poll now. From the looks of thing, Laine needs to work on her endurance. If that's so, I wonder who would volunteer to help her build up her endurance. ;)

Oh I'm sure she'd have her volunteers, especially with the... rewards she seems willing to give out. :p

LOL! Might cause a problem if she get too many volunteers if they were thinking about that. ;)

Rats leoni2 beat me to the endurance joke

Well, there was a simple reason for that. Wait for it... I was quick with the punch. ;) Yeah, yeah, I know, a boxing pun. :p

yeah you got your shot off early.

"Y'see, Laine, y'went wrong when ya suared up t'Erin. She gotcha widdat gutbuster. Y'didn't get that elbow down in time and she followed up widdat long straight left dat dazed ya, ya ditz."
Poor Laine got LAINED out on the canvas. If I had my choice I'd have to celebrate with Erin.

Uh, it was a bit more than that if you read the story.


.....you *did* read the story, right? Y'know, the one that I wrote?

The words that are *inbetween* the pictures? =P 'Cause I assure you, there was a lot more than just those punches.

Sonuva... missed your name by lookin' at your icon! >_< Ignore previous reply!

Oy... ya might've warned me you was gettin' an icon...

HEH, sorry, I couldn't resist doing my routine outta a Rocky movie. Rest assured I have indeed read the story. I needed a good read, it's been a hellish week. I do admit I went into that schpeil before reading it. (After DLing it the pictures weren't showing up at first, so once I got them to show I took a gander)

It's all right. The icon threw me. Glad you enjoyed it though. ^_^ I did my best, even though it's a rough work!

I did have the old 'Slide has a posse icon, but since the illustrator who did that one was a bit put off on the mature cub art thing I figured the best thing to do would be to take it down. I had to have something, so I got this "Freebe"

Umm would that be me or Steve?

Cause I made the sticker, but he did the original artwork.

That's true, I forgot that you took the pinup to make the icon...
Steve was the one who was ticked about the cub art thing, so I took it down. He was pretty pissed, so anything that could go back to him came down.

I'm just glad he didn't come after me because I didn't leave his name on the thing after I made it.

Nah, he even was glad to see I was using it in LJ.

I do wonder how many bothered to read the story instead of just looking at the pics. =P I hope people at least give me a *little* praise for my part.

Granted, it's probably rougher than my more polished works, but I did my best. ^_^ And we still rock so hard together! w00t!

Hey, I'd read the story, else I'd never made my comment on Laine's endurance, or lack of same. In this case, the words are the reason for the pictures, and being a writer myself, I know what I'm talking about. No text, no pictures, no overall story. And the story looked fine, even if it was rough. ;)

Thank ya muchly! ^_^ I do have more polished works in my online portfolio. I think the link is on my userpage, but if not, just send me a note and I'll track down the url. Probably should bookmark that dang thing though.

Anyway, glad you enjoyed it! ^_^ And just wait for the next one; I promise it'll be just as great, if not better!

You're welcome. When I'm interested in looking at your other work, I'll let you know. And yes, I'd enjoyed and can't wait for the next one.

Grrrr, don't you just hate when the server is being a pain?

Excellent! Awesome story from BanditRingtail and awesome art from Tetsuo. Laine was better than usual, but she still needs to work on her endurance or she'll always be kissing the canvas.

Yeah, that's true. ^_^ But she's gotten better at least!

Thanks for the comments; I appreciate them.

Yes, she has improved, much to Erin's surprise. But, she has a lot more to work on.
You're welcome on the comment.

It was a decent, well illustrated story. It could have used some more work on the characters, instead of just being "She did this, the other did that" style of narration. Was kinda 2d in the action department. I realise Laine is a bit of an amateur still, but I have RP'd with people who write a more interesting fight for their part by putting details into every single lunge and riposte, so to speak.

But it wasn't bad by any stretch. Needed more tits though :P

I read it. Not bad.

Where's the rest of this tournament?

This is as far as we made it through the tourney unfortunately.

Aw. So there's nothing else?

Nope, sorry to say.
