The cover art for the Cottonwine Field Notes is finished and the project only needs a few more final touches. This project is a third party analysis of events from Red Riding Hood, initiated as a study of Cottonwine, the potion used by the Wolves. This project will bridge the former Red Riding Hood comics, with a future series about the same character called Rise of the Wolf Queen, which I will begin next year.

Missed the description O.O
:D
How long is it?
14 pages?
20?
Over Nine thousand!? :D
Thanks for answering my questions. :o
Bunners
Or are you trying to forget that it was a story around a campfire so you can focus on the expanding universe and ignore the metaphysical/narrational questions it brings up?
Always look so good!
Because that's really my only problem with the entire "Fall of Little Red Riding Hood" storyline; the explicit slow extermination of humanity by breeding it out of existence. I've no problem with the wolves conquering and ruling over humans, as long as the humans are allowed to continue existing.
Sorry I sound like a party-pooper, but Genocide turns me off.
(In case there's dense people reading this; it's sarcasm.)
Wish there was a proper place to talk about it. :(
Overall I think it's great. Great Illustrations, the Story is tightly woven together and the way the story is framed is really neat. (I've always LOVED in-universe material.)
Even more so is the fact that it really DOES cover up the deficiencies of RRH III and IV. Even other readers who were extremely critical looked at the Field Report and actually admitted to this answering some questions and clearing up things that made those stories better.
I'm also actually kind of surprised at me and a friend having called some of the mental/conscious altering effects of Cottonwine.
We've been writing and discussing the setting at length and I was sure surprised that we actually got a lot of the side effects correct.
However there are some minor quibbles. And thats all that they are....Minor.
One: It felt TO short. Reading it the first time it felt right....But then reading it a second time made me go, "Fuck I wish there were another five or six pages." Though this is just personal preference probably on my part but the Field Reports were just that interesting and I still have a lot of questions.
Two: Not enough on the Feminized Males....It may be that this part of the setting I'm a big fan of....But they didn't get a whole lotta love I think. Out of the entire Field Report we just get one look at a Feminized Elf male and then a number of 'Possible' pictures. (It's hard telling Feminized Males and actual females apart if you can't get a look at whats between their legs. :p)
And while they got some mention something as HUGE as Feminized Males should have got more attention in the Wolf Cult section (What role do they play, how do they continue to fit in polite human company without getting outed as a Cottonwine addicted Cultist and other questions like it are buzzing through my head.) and at the end where the Researcher mentions wanting to do more of a study on the Potions Feminizing effects on Male Elves/Humans while having a dramatically opposite effect on Lapine/Lupine Males. (And presumably the same effect on the other beast races.)
There's also the bombshells that Cottonwine seems to dramatically effect male fertility....Is this literally affecting sperm counts? Or is it creating something more akin to Erectile Dysfunction?
Or maybe it just works similar to MtF hormone replacement?
I don't know but my other minor quibble is we didn't get a longer and harder look at Feminized Males.
Other then that? This is by far one of my more favorite books. :D
Fuck I wish you were planning more Field Reports.
And I did love how you fell back on using such fume and potion (Elixer might work as well and I can actually see human or Elf nobility creating tinctures from Cottonwine.....Nothing says sexual congress like liquor and a super aphrodisiac. :D)
And yeah genetics waaaay back when revolved around the idea of inheritance of acquired characteristics. I'm guessing you were using a sort of a Hippocrates and Aristotelian view on inheritance?
If so then yeah....It'd be believed by many that the form giving principle of a Lapine/Lupine's semen. (Thought to be by such folks as a highly purified form of blood.) To be so strong and overwhelming that it could override the Mothers 'blood' and create a child with no human/elf appearance.
Wish there was a place to talk about this more. :(
This was such a fascinating and interesting book.
Moreso with the Elves and Lapine then anything....With that Elf colony if they don't start breeding then the Elfs will simply be bred out by the Lapine and die out in a single generation. Even high on Cottonwine wouldn't the Elves realize this and try and take steps to up their breeding somehow? What would the Lapine think? Given their culture thats focused so much on Fecundity.
And what would Wolves think of something like this? Breeding out Humans....Would they want to do that? Or maybe preserve their loyal subjects somewhat with careful breeding programs?
The only way to preserve the Elf's in the Lapine region would be a focused effort at breeding...Though I guess neither FemMales or Elf Females would like it much. :p
The one way to handle something like that with the Wolves is either Breeding similar to what the Elfs would have to do or simply capture normal human males and use them as breeding studs once or twice before Feminizing them.
Not doing either simply means the Loyal Humans serving the Lupine and the Integrated Elven Colony will simply vanish after a single generation.
I don't really have the energy to talk about it in intricate and neverending detail for hours and hours, to be fully honest. It's not that one's interest isn't fully appreciated, though.
Well I'm sorry for bugging you about it.
After reading something new and interesting my minds typically a rush of questions, comments and more.
Still wish there was an area to talk about the contents of this book with other people. :o
No chance for another Field Report if this one goes over super well?
Not that I'm not excited. (I am. :p )
But the Field Report is awesome and there's plenty of stuff left to comment on. :p
Wow! Thank you! :D
I'll be a bit busy this week but I can send something Sunday if thats alright. :D
Have a good one
Perhaps unintentional, but.. Rise of the Wolf Queen? You wouldn't happen to be a TES fan, would you, Fisk? *grins*
