"Δneko here, comin' at you for this month's theme!"



"Hope that the scenario provided last month got your creative juices going, and apparently it did! So here are the highlights:"

"It was a really tough decision between the two best stories this month, both of which had really cool takes on the prompt. Take this honorable mention as a badge of honor: Bus Trip by AbNom, looking like a story from an urban fantasy anthology. I won't spoil what happens in it, but do take a read yourself!"

"Alright, on to the feature of the month!"

Not so Farfetched(Farfetch'd and other Pokemon Tf)The flight from Mistralton City, Unova, to Heahea City, Alola, was surprisingly quiet. There couldn’t be more than 10 passengers on the plane, which was definitely big enough to fit many more. Having said that, it was a very early flight and the majority of people here would be on business, including himself, and the only exception seemed to be a woman and sleepy toddler. Thomas glanced in her direction, easy to do so as he was in the middle row next to the path that the air attendant occasionally trotted along and she was the row diagonally opposite him, also on the edge. She held in front of her a photograph, and Thomas could just make out a man in what appeared to be military uniform. Thomas wasn’t aware of any news concerning war, so maybe this man had just been training in the region.

"This story actually ties the use of public transport into the setting, beyond just it being a means of gathering a sample of the 'public' together. It's also got quite an interesting take on a potentially practical use for transformation, and I found that element interesting."

"confusedkangaroo! You got the Highlighted story of the month! Leave a comment down below for what you'd like! Or send a note, whatever you want."
"Alright, as usual we have our raffle prize, and the winner is..."
"Draco-Firestorm! Same thing, you can leave a comment to what you want, or send me a note!"


"Right then, here we go on to the month's theme!"

"We're back with another month of technical writing practice!"

"This month, we'll be focusing on tails! Thinking about it, having an extra movable limb, for a human who doesn't typically experience that type of motor functions, it'd be quite a thing, wouldn't it? Not that I'd know, cause I'm a cat. (Well, sorta.)"

" Write a transformation story of any premise or plot, but with focus on the change regarding the tail, and the sensations of moving it afterwards! Think about how what your experience would be if you suddenly had a tail. What kind of sensations would be sent to your brain? How would you move it? Could you use it to emote?"
