This is the best story I've read since...well, since "Nozzle." It's well crafted. It's creative and clever, a riff on something that until five seconds ago seemed tired and played out. It's intensely erotic, and the expansion scenes are described with gently insistent care. I wish I could write like this; I wish I could plant such rich scenes in people's minds.
I'm a little short of breath.

What's up with Airy Tales?
A quick update about Airy Tales. It's still a going concern, but we have hit a few snags. I had kind of hoped to have the whole site launched by now, but a few things set the plans off the rails.
First, the creative team behind the project had to swap some members around. I know I haven't said much about that team, but it was not just me and a crazy idea; it's several people working together. Real life got in the way and one of the people had to bow out. So that was an adjustment.
Second, a technical/artistic issue hit the project, and we've had trouble navigating around it.
And third, of course, the good old economy. Frankly, most of the people involved (myself included) have had to focus on real-life work that pays instead of putting time into the fun side project. I am not upset about that -- disappointed, but not mad. I mean, c'mon. Airy Tales isn't paying anybody's rent.
So, Airy Tales is still happening. But the schedule, which I never wanted to discuss publicly anyway for fear of things beyond my control changing it, has to remain flexible.

This week in Jessica Rabbit news
When it rains it pours. Here I am, sitting at home, thinking that everyone had forgotten the world's most voluptuous fictional redhead, and wham, she's suddenly back in the zeitgeist. At least for a week.
It started when folks in the UK who participated in a Cadbury survey voted Jessica Rabbit the sexiest cartoon character of all time. Please note that the news article says that Jessica beat off several other characters. Way to go, copy editors.
That news snippet led to a Saturday Night Live sketch with a retort from Cathy and a guest appearance from Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. The video is below or you can see some stills here if it's not loading right below.
Frustration squiggle! LOL.
Also? Yum.
