Hm, I imagined an adorably uncomfortable kitsune, but aloof would be fun too and I think makes sense with a lot of kitsune lore.
Names are really important and big though. So much time to find those.

Finding the right balance between traditional and not is hard.
For his name it was between Michiro and Renjiro, that -iro ending just seems perfect for this character though.

No question about the girl being called Avalon though!

This is actually going to be/is my first foray into writing a romantic short story, despite all the rps I used to write on here.

Hmm I suppose it is. You've either got to commit one way or the other I think.
haha, both are good though. I get that sound. iro is so very mystic japanese creature.

Really? But I don't find that so surprising actually. I mean, I've barely written any sort romance. I think it's because short fiction is more heavily literary and I feel like I'm supposed to be more serious or something.

Avalon is going to annoy him by calling him Mitch. XD I can see that very clearly.

Well I've attempted it, but it never quite turned out right ... Probably because I didn't revise any of it enough though ... and by that I mean not at all.

Oh god. I bet that would be so annoying! XD

hahahaha. There's that too. There's always so much revision to do and not enough time (or effort).

Is it just me, or is Mene much slower then it used to be, people wise? It just seems like there's aren't as many people around.

Yeah, it just gets slower and slower. It still has its days, but mostly it's like this.

That's kind of sad ...

I was sad about it too at one point. But as long as you have a good group of people to talk to (or find a good group of people to talk to) then it can't be too bad. To me, the biggest help people can do for the site is to stay active. Or at least as active as your comfortable with.

I avoid the romance genre in my own writing cause.. i'm... awkward. i don't like writing the hot and heavy scenes out. I just can't do it.

The last couple days have actually been really slow like people all took sick leave or something at the same exact time. xD I'm sure it will pick baack up again. we just gotta keep plugging away and posting. or going out and posting in new threads when it gets slow like that.

As for your kitsune I think he needs to be cold and aloof cause kitsune. And the owner who is just "rescuing him" ignores that completely, and the kitsune is that.. whatcha call it term that is actually all soft and sensitive underneath and a really big sweet heart.
like Kyo. <3 in fruitsbasket... which i've never actually read past the 14th or so manga. but kyo was my girl crush when i was little. xD

I do feel like there's still enough activity to keep this site going strong. I talk to people and always have rps. Just when it seems it's gone dead, there's always an influx of new players.

Romance doesn't have to be hot and heavy, sha! Mine usually isn't though I have written such things in the past. Tsundere! My favorite characters!

yeah that's the one i was thinking of. I think that would work really well for the kitsune :3

I was only thinking of when there are slow days that can be done. xD

Ooh, yes! I just hope I can pull it off! I never have more in the short story then something sweet and heart warming.

As for the site, yeah, as long as there's people to chat with, it's all good.

Hi Kirin!

Hello Papillon.

How's it going?

Sweet and heartwarming is quite nice though.

I can't wait until sunday. I want a day off from work....

I kind of want to rp, but I don't know if I should. Probably wouldn't answer too often.

I mean, you know I would be okay with that....

Alright, have anything in mind?

I have all the things in mind!!! Jk because that's too much lol.

Yeah ... that would be a lot. XD
I'm so happy! My world building is coming along great because of the short stories I'm writing, and that's never really happened before.

I miss roleplaying, but I keep failing to continue posting in them because stuff comes up or my partners need to hiatus xD

I plan on just doing the one, because I am working on a book after all.
