The theme day 3 was Sleepy, and immediately the first idea that came to mind was to base the story around a pun. Show of hands/paws/wings/pseudopods/whatever: who's surprised?

Fun fact: During some of my time in high school, I imagined myself as an anthro black cat.

When comparing to what CrizBN did, we definitely had very different ideas. For one thing, he drew someone being currently sleepy, while I wrote about someone who is sleepy in general. And at first I thought that what he did might have been a bit on the uncreative side, simply a TF while the one doing so just happened to be sleepy, but then I noticed the way the shirt burst in the front as he was arcing back as part of the yawning motion. It may sound like a minor detail, but sometimes minor details make all the difference and that one did for me, making the "TF" and "sleepy" aspects feel much more properly connected. That was the tipping point for me that turned it from "TF while sleepy" to "sleepy TF".
