Excellent, and I like the way you framed the whole thing, I may have to do something similar!

Of course this all only raises more questions, such as why does being a magic user bar Ren from inheriting?

Also that was a lovely explanation from Rhelki's mum, and yes I suspect Keitel might have a different perspective on things.

As for the collar...suits you ;)

And Thalkin, that does sound rather idyllic, even if you have just embarrassed Rhelki! Though as for Kaj, doesn't he live a rather lonely life due to his difficulty controlling his magic?

I do hope you continue this series ;)

"Excellent, and I like the way you framed the whole thing, I may have to do something similar!"

Yeah, I think the framing made this extra fun. Going to have to find someone more trustworthy to work the console though.

"Of course this all only raises more questions, such as why does being a magic user bar Ren from inheriting?"

I'm sure many of these answers are just going to create more questions. Guess you'll just have to submit more so I have more content. ;)

"Also that was a lovely explanation from Rhelki's mum, and yes I suspect Keitel might have a different perspective on things."

I've spent quite a bit of time writing both of Rhelki's parents in stuff I have yet to publish so it was kind of nice to use her here.

"As for the collar...suits you ;)"

The collar jokes will continue until I no longer find them funny. Also, Rhelki seems to be developing a far more domineering personality in this non-canon pieces.

"And Thalkin, that does sound rather idyllic, even if you have just embarrassed Rhelki! Though as for Kaj, doesn't he live a rather lonely life due to his difficulty controlling his magic?"

Well Kaj will eventually get over it, but I'd still have to contend with his family. Oh boy that'd be kind of a mess. That's why he's more of the second choice in all this.

"I do hope you continue this series ;)"

I will. This was actually super easy and fun to write. I've still got 11 more questions in the queue currently. I just didn't want to blow through them all at once.

So many characters! I don't know how you keep it all straight lol. Also, some fellow immortals! I didn't know that, or maybe I did and I forgot. It's hard to remember your first hundred years after a while.

Yeah, I have a ton over multiple different universes. Also, the first hundred years thing is actually specifically a reference to how kitsune live and grow up in this world There's a bunch of details about it here. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53450162/

The short version though is that they spend the first hundred years as a feral fox with the mental state of one as well before gaining their second tail, morphing into a slightly more bipedal form, and gaining human levels of intelligence. Still, those first hundred years can imprint memories like this even if they live deep in the subconscious.

I humbly stand by your first choice on who you'd bring to life.

I agree, she is my favorite.

Hehe, no shame here.

That was a very creative and thorough way of doing a Q&A! It was nice to see the kitsune lore explored a bit more. Having biological immortality is infinitely more manageable if there's a community of fellow immortals around you.

I also enjoyed getting Beor and Viola's full backstory. Always liked familiar/animal companion characters. Still remember one of the first TF stories I ever read had someone being, er, molded, into that role.

Thanks, I really enjoyed doing it this way. I agree, it's probably a lot easier to cope when you aren't just having everyone slowly die around you one by one throughout the ages.

And that TF story sounds rather intriguing. Sounds like it's probably rather old and lost to time though.

That story would have been written around 2008 or 2009. It was part of a contest on some obscure forum. I can't find it online anymore, buuuuut, I'm also a neurotic guy who saves online stories he likes whenever he feels there's a significant deletion risk, so here ya go: https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....20n-KYyYuo/pub

I didn't save the author handle, unfortunately, though to be blunt I've encountered better familiar transformation tales since then. For instance: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38495444/

Cheers for saving stuff. I wish I had done more of that in the past. There's a few things that I know I'd like to see/read again and they've just been lost.

Anyways, thanks for sharing that. I agree, it isn't the best familiar TF I've read, but it was cute. I'll have to check out the other one tomorrow when I have more time. I've read a few of their works before, but not this one.

The collar question... almost exactly what I had expected. Kind of thought Rhelki would lean into a bit more of a dominating role on that one and have both Howard and Roidh on their knees.

Though, with respect to Rhelki's teasing of how much Roidh seems to enjoy a collar, as Celtic would say: blimey!

Rhelki: Oh thank you for the suggestion, FtD. I'll be honest, I'm still new to all of this, so I'm still learning as I go. Let me just write a note: "Get Roidh on his knees." Oh, I have some wonderful ideas.

As for Howard, we spoke later and is not nearly as into this as that other one. Really, he just went along with a lot of stuff because of Dr. Gloria having leverage over him. While there are ways to trigger him into more of that state, he said the way I was acting just wouldn't do it to him. He refused to elaborate more.

Roidh: I'll be honest, I was wondering about keeping it with a general rating with that teasing.. I figured I did cut the whole thing off early enough to not warrant it.

*Leans over to Roidh while keeping eye contact with Rhelki before lifting a hand up to where his supposed mouth is hidden and whispers in the direction of the kitsune/cheetah* "Uhh... my bad?"

Kind of figured that would probably be the case; the idea of Rhelki lording over Howard (someone about twice her size) just seemed funny to me is all.

Good catch, though I'm beginning to think that perhaps we should ease you off the collars for a bit...

I'll forgive you if you forgive me for writing that sequel to your prompt. Though wish me luck to whatever she has planned. Gulp.

Yeah, that would be a funny image of the two. Well, my cheetah self isn't as tall as Howard, but it should still work.

I like this a lot! I didn't expect that you would do it so narratively. Probably the best Q&A I've seen, haha.

And I must somehow finally convince myself to read Aekerin University stuff of yours. I only read one story from these. From your characters that I think of it would be Kaj and Ren. I think that I like their designs the most, so maybe if I were to ask a question to one of them it would be Ren.

Besides I really like your Alsier Universe!

Thanks a lot Blaze.

I mean I'm not going to say no to you reading the Ækerin University stuff. Just know that I'm in the process of rewriting the whole thing. Rhelki and Kaj do get used a lot in all of my non-canon stuff though (mainly because I like the characters). Not sure if you read my last Thursday Prompt, but they basically have become the kind of de facto main characters of the cross universe stuff.

Anyways, to the Ækerin stuff written. I kind of did it out of order and there's probably too much exposition in it where I am telling rather than showing. Still, most of the stories aren't that long except for 'A Change of Fate' which is this 40 page long TF story

And I'm glad you like the Alsier stuff. I have been working on that setting since I was in High School so it's been a huge undertaking for me.
