[Vfw-times] Fortress Archive Gazette (Feb-2001)

[Wolf 0013]

Well, it's a little late, but here's February's Gazette

Okay, I AM working on the index page for the actual web site, it'll be 
Dreamwever/Photoshop based, and will be ready in 2 weeks too a month for 
launch.

It'll likely be on a Geocities site since I can't seem too get any other 
web space for the moment.

i'll be accepting stories, art, and any other type of TF/furry based 
media, but larger file types such as Flash and MP3 I won't widely accept 
until I switch too a sever with more space.



Anyhow, now that that that is out of the way, onto the story idea's.



Love stories.

Okay, it's February, that means it's open game for love stories, kind of 
scary actually.  Anyhow, I would suggest that if you write any love 
stories, mix em up a little bit.  Add a bit of a halloween feel. 
Often time love stories are just way too, what's the word I'm searching 
for, unrealistic and naive, even when it's a TF story and already 
unrealistic people often make things more realistic by making everything 
works out quickly and completely because the couple is in love.

I've never bought those stories, love is a wonderful thing yes, but it 
is also a difficult and sometimes scary thing.

Perhaps one of the couple is say, a sphinx, and that it's the modern day 
and myth's like that are seen simply as, well, myth's, made up legends.  
Well even if they're in love they have several things in the way that 
must be worked out.  Different societies, lives, species plans.  
Obviously some where somebody has too give something up, that is the 
factor I'd like too see focused on,  what one is willing too give up and 
what they get in return.



Concert on the Grassy Knoll


Okay, this story is a fairly interesting idea.  Basically, it describes 
a human that stumbles upon a sort of concert/carnival of mythic 
creatures such as nymphs satyrs kitsunes angels minataurs werewolves, 
the works.

They don't notice him even though he wanders into the concern and is 
walking right amongst them.  But basically, the more he plays along, the 
more they notice him, as as that happens, he transforms into a myth 
himself, however the concert has a bit of an intoxicating effect, thus 
he doesn't care.

The ending is completely open.



Cursed Societies

Okay, a wizard from the deep past wakes up in the far future and decides 
too curse the planet, as his way of revenge.

The curse turns a person into a reflection of one's inner self, but it's 
not always something a person wants or expected.  in order too combat 
this curse, which is activated by emotions, those not yet effected 
quickly use sound waves too nullify the emotions of the masses not yet 
effected.

It was too be temporary but it ending up sticking, anyhow, the machines 
aren't 100% so occasionally somebody's emotions show and they are 
cursed, when this happens, they're banished too the wild lands outside 
of the cities, an area that now resembles a  mid evil fantasy setting.

Anyhow, now there are a lot of groups with various objectives and goals, 
some wish too destroy the city dwellers which look down open them,  
others completely revel in their new forms and lose their minds, others 
still try too live a peaceful balance.

Anyhow, this is more a universe idea then a short story idea.




Adaptive Were creature

Okay, this is a rather odd and short idea, but It just flashed across 
the mind, imagine a person who changed into different animals at random 
times, but the animals he'd turn into is based on his environment.

In other words, if he TF's in water, he turns into an otter, in air, an 
eagle, the the desert, a coyote, and so on.  Not much of an idea I know 
but an interesting thought.





The Truth and Curses

Okay, another idea about a world wide curse, very much different 
however.  quite a simple curse, if you lie, you are transformed 
instantly, and you can't transform back, if you don't tell the truth, 
then you'll continue too transform too a higher degree, if you spill the 
beans, you stop transforming into a full blown animal.

Every time a person lies, this process starts all over again, except of 
course, you're a different species every time you lie.




Insulting Fairies

Okay, strange little idea that crossed my mind, a slightly disturbed 
teen walks through the forest and meets some fairies.

He insults the fairies and ends up being transformed into a small 
woodland animal, a squirrel or something, 3 days later the fairies 
return and turn him back into a human, the time in between those two 
events is where you write most the story.  I want too see a story where 
a bully becomes a kind caring person.  And what it'd take too bring 
about this change.






Well, that's about it for this month's story idea's I am afraid, sorry 
there aren't as many as you'd there used too be.

Anyhow, I'll try to have some more high quality stuff ready for next 
month, until then I hope you enjoy the current items you have before you.
