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)

Heads Up
Although not technically "on hiatus", progress on this story will either be slow or non existent since my friend's birthday is coming up and I want to write a story for him.
