Blarg! Writer's block attacks again! I know I want Sam's role in this story to be based around powering through and right now I want her to be making Jonas do something but I can't figure out what. My current idea is that she makes him help her decorate the rest of the house but ironically I can't think of how he'd do that given his physical limitations. Anyone have a suggestion? --[[User:Lloyd Brunnel|Lloyd Brunnel]] 14:41, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

: Hmm. Maybe she starts decorating with gingerbread cookies or small flower bouquets; that seems like it would be appropriate for the circumstances -- visually festive as well as providing an interesting aroma. And it seems like Jonas would be the only one able to position them to cover the house without the odor being overwhelming in any one spot. If you don't like that particular idea, try thinking along those same lines; how would you decorate ''differently'' if someone in your family was suddenly much more interested in odor and less interested in sight?

Nice opening, no prizes for guessing what's about to happen though ;) --Fibio 15:51, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Considering that I've written two stories where he's a fox... not really, no =D -- Lloyd Brunnel 16:25, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Good start, Lloyd. I like the character and this is a rather decent story. -- ShadowWolf 21:50, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree with everything said above. This is looking to be a great introduction for Jonas. --Concerned Reader 23:15, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh yeah! Great intro for Jonas, I can't wait for the next part! :) —Drake 08:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

How to vocalize

The next part of this story has Jonas trying to talk, but I'm not sure how to write it out. Foxes don't make the same types of sounds as other canines/candids so I can't just do things like "rawr" and whatnot. I've been looking over http://www.foxforest.org/upclose/voicescarry.shtml since this page has recordings of fox voices but I'm still stumped. Any suggestions? --Lloyd Brunnel 17:39, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I've never known how to write out animal noises, other than describing what they may sound like. Onomatopoeia are hard like that... --Concerned Reader 18:16, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
