Thirdly

I am laughing so hard right now because just reading about @Timothy M.'s reactions to the story feels like its own mini adventure in and of itself. I really have to read more of these 'featured story' blog reviews. But, for now, I'm diving headfirst into Kissing the Dragon!

Yes, poor Nolan was wrapped up in awful circumstances. Yes, 'born' vampires are born, 'made' vampires are turned. If I'm not mistaken, a bit of a ritual is needed (involving hieroglyphics to invoke the gifts of Anubis?) to truly turn another person (along with blood exchange), and it must be done with sober consent. Only humans are versatile enough to be transformed into other species (vampires, werewolves, etc.). Their mortality is like a clean slate. A vampire, however, cannot turn a werewolf and vice versa. Yes, indeed. Only Eli's green is missing.

Oh, there is nothing wrong with the stones. They're reading everything as they're supposed to be. And yes, we'll come across the young traveler.

Ah, the research that went into figuring out what that size bed is even called...a double "grand king."

There are a good few, but you'll see them one at a time. Let us know who your favorites turned out to be when you reach the end!

Enjoy!

Yep, that's why I suggested going with the completed Crossing the Moon. He doesn't need to, the program's quite advanced and it fills up the gaps as it goes. However...well, you'll see. Pip had no idea what the aquarium was or that animals were even there. And it'd be quite amusing to see how far his camouflage can go.

They will definitely come across each other again, but I can't give out any details.

*applauds* Yes indeed, I think we all feel the same way about the adorable Pip.

All of our stories are different. We even have a story about Unicorns and Nightmares (as in the mythological creatures).

Exactly!

Jasper's one of my favorite names, too.

There are drawings of them in the HindertoyBL gallery as well.

Actually, for these guys, the colors and species were all easy to remember because we introduced them one at a time. By the time we got to writing about the freckled-butt Mycha, we already KNEW that Nix had red-striped black hair and a yellow-green eye (the other sightless), etc. etc. We did create a chart for the babies, though, because Robin said that Nix's species had this whole "three genes from multiple parents" thing and we had to find out who inherited what genes and where. It was like a whole project figuring out the babies. That's where, if you look at the HindertoyBl album, you'll see all my color charts. Considering that we went on mostly word descriptions for all the babies at the start, I think I did pretty well in translating it to color and sketches. I feel quite proud that they ended up a nice little rainbow of skin tones.

Yes, I'm sure he does have nicknames for all of them. I'll have to get with Robin on that for the sequels. Thanks for reminding me!

We were just discussing this, ironically enough. Zane has a BIG collection of movies and he has everything from action comedy to kid's shows to old classics to horror films. The conversation went something like this (which is while working on chapter 8 ): Robin: Lol, three different movie quotes in there. I knew I'd be able to get some Gone with the Wind in there somewhere. Zane had quite the movie collection. Thirdly: Great job! He'd totally have all three in there, they're classics! He also has a lot of action comedy like Beverly Hills Cop, Police Acadamy, Blue Streak, Rush Hour, Bad Boys.... Robin: Ooooo. Thirdly: Let's just say he has a very big movie collection with even some kid's flicks and horror in there. Thirdly: Speaking of movies, my niece has apparently come across the Marvel superhero that has the most of my personality...Ant Man. And after watching The Ant Man and the Wasp, I have to agree.

He'll certainly try!

Now that would have certainly been chaotic. Zane would have had quite the time smuggling him back out! Instead of "Free Willy" it'd have been "Free the Sepida!"

I meant those that read the end already, ha ha. You're fine, take your time, friend. I also wanted an excuse to say 'a crew of randy kemonomimi fight to survive...and kittens.' @Rambling Robin giggled hard.

I mean, I'd review it myself, but it'd be a bit of a paradox . @Rambling Robin also updated our summary, which is loads better than what I would have come up with. "A crew of randy kemonomimi fight to survive...and kittens!" (my summaries are so awful lmao)

I just realized no one's reviewed KIAO overall yet. Anyone wanna give it a shot?

This is super late, but many thanks!

Yes, he is definitely cuddly.

Sorry for the late response, but many thanks!

He is indeed. I love seeing his reactions.
