Well it's avery interesting story, But I get kinda confused in it. What exactly happened to Duncan's brother, what becomes of the church, and why do humans hate the furs so?

Kyle's dead. o.O I thought that was obvious. This is his funeral.

What happens next? That's for the reader to decide. :)

And why do humans need a reason to hate anything? If you take the protestors in this story and change their signs to read "GOD HATES FAGS", it suddenly stops being fiction.

Ohh well yes i knew he was dead, I just diddn't know how he died. Like if it was some tramatic event or a ntaural death. But I suppose that does make sense, thanks for clearing it up. +fav

Actually... I hadn't decided how he died either. I can't even say whether it was a result of his activism or not. o.o Hmm. It doesn't matter anyway, not for purposes of this vignette; after all, he wouldn't have wanted anyone focused on his death.

Nice. And very well-written, which as you know, is a refreshing change around here. ;)

Good luck with getting a writers' section in the forums; maybe if it gets going I'll actually register over there. I'd really like to see some challenges/contests for writers, too, since there seem to be a decent number of them for artists.

I doubt we'll ever be that organized. All I really want to see is a slightly less disorganized version of the "looking for writers" thread, to be honest. You know, where people can go "OMG LUK GIEZ I ROTE DIS!!!" and advertise what they've done to people who are actually likely to READ it.

Also, thanks very much for the comments and fave. :D I'm glad you liked the story, and it means a lot to me.

I tried to post on this yesterday but for some reason the system crashed...

This was one of the best I've read yet - it answers questions that will undoubtedly be asked in the future. It was sad and yet it was poinient.

Cheers for this one and a well earned 'Huza'.

I read the thread that inspired this, interesting. I found this to be a very intriguing read as well.

Very beautifully written - I deeply enjoyed the philosophy. It's so hard to find well thought out reasoning in a story.

Much obliged. ^v^

Nice!

Once again, another story of yours that is very well written. It kept me going all the way to the end. It was a little confusing in sections(a who's who sort of thing), but it makes you think, and I like that. Great metaphors too. I don't think you necessarily have to worry about the funeral being more realistic or correct, unless you actually want to add that. I was raised Catholic, and most of the time they perform a special mass for the funeral and have a place during the mass for people to speak just like you did here. So the fact that a mass has started to take place is pretty much implied in your story without having to hear it. Unless you'd actually like to add prayer or something like that in your story, but I think it would take away from an already good piece.

Thank you! :D

So far I think you've just commented on my most polished pieces. <.< We'll see what you have to say about the rest...

Very eloquently written. I would imagine this is how it would be in the real world of something like this were to come into being. Unfortunately the human tendency to fear and reject what isn't understood is rather shamefully ingrained in our psyche.

Kinda late coming to the party here, but I'm going to try to get around to reading the tons of other material you have posted.

Nice work!

This is acceptable. :B I've recently been commenting on things at least this old myself.

Glad you got something out of this. :D Thanks for the fav!
