Just posted 11: Fire! Sorry about missing last Sunday, things have been kinda crazy recently. Thanksgiving Break is next week, and then it's dead week and finals week, so I'll have my hands full then too. Ah well.
NaNo's almost over, so then I'll be able to focus more on Vulpine again - namely writing some new chapters! Plenty of fun stuff coming up.
Not much to say about this chapter, other than I remember it was very satisfying to write. ;)
@Swyfte: Haha, I like the mixed reactions for Faun - some don't like him because he's pretty passive, others feel bad for him. Fun stuff. Faun and Riven would be good influences for each other, I think, if they got over the whole Riven-tried-to-kill-him-once thing. I think originally I pronounced it like Theo with an F, but I've fallen into the habit of thinking it like Fay-o, which I'm pretty sure is "ugly" in Spanish, pff.
@Bookworm: Yeah, Faun's in a pretty tough spot! Riven has a few problems going for him too, but his doucheness kinda robs him of all (or at least most) sympathy. We'll see whether or not that changes with this most recent chapter, though - and Faun's next chapter should be interesting as well. ;)
@Pain: It sounds so awful when you put it in a laundry list like that, ha. Faun doesn't have a lot going for him atm, true. I'd like to say his station should improve later, but that seems unlikely. The most likely scenario is that everyone else just falls down with him, rather than him getting ahead...but we'll have to see!
That's all for now, I think. See you next Sunday!

9 & 10
Sorry, guys! I always get a bit scatter-brained in November. This post will just be to announce that I just now uploaded 10: Exploration, and posted 9: Questions last Sunday. Sorry again for the delay! As usual, NaNo's consuming my soul a bit. xD
@Swyfte: I'd definitely give NaNo a go next year, if you've got the time! It's immensely fun, and even if you don't win, you still at least know you tried it. I say Iole as Ee-oh-lee. And yes, Holly's a pretty nice gal. We'll see a bit more of her soon. The imagined enemies were just whoever Trick was pretending to face off against when she was fighting her little birch tree to train herself. Members of the Skulk were certainly some of them. And yes, Riven's a turd, even if he does display a few gleams of gold now and then. It's fun, having a really unlikeable POV for once. :D
@Bookworm: I don't think Riven's ever been more surprised in his life than when Sprite pushed him out of that tree - but he deserved it!
@Lynxeye: No worries, m'dear! College/Uni can be a lot of work, I understand. Hope you're doing okay! As for Riven...me, make you like him? Perish the thought! We all know he's a down-and-dirty runt-eater through and through. ;)
The fun thing about him is not only does he have two different vixens he has his eye on, he's physically attracted to both of them first! One problem I've noticed with a lot of my pairings (at least POV-centered ones) is that they start off as friends, and then gradually come to realize that there's sexual tension between them, and then they either get together or die (or both, haha). Very rarely do I have pairings that start off on the basis of honest-to-goodness that chick looks really hot, I should bang her feelings. But Riven's the perfect vehicle for that sort of thing. Getting Sprite to like him back is another matter, and indeed he has other ladies (coughTambercough) who want his attention much more than she does - not to mention that 9: Questions doesn't bode too well for that at all, haha. Thanks for the review, love, and good luck with your classes!
That's all, I s'pose. See ya next Sunday, if I can remember. :P
