I've recently joined a big Furry forum, and started a discussion about Cub Art (like yiff, only with children/early-teen characters). Here is the discussion; tell me your opinions in the replies (unless you're from the Forum; in that case, reply over there).
JOHN: What do you mean, 'He should receive what's his'?!
DOE: The man's a debtor, and must pay his debt.
JOHN: HE WANTS A POUND OF FLESH.
DOE: Then so be it;
If he was not prepared to pay him back,
Why did he sign the contract in the first place?
JOHN: Because he needed to assist a friend!
Wouldst thou wish to be judged by the reckless
Decisions made in moments dire?
DOE: I shan't,
In any case, do such a foolish act
And let my soul be put in cold gods' hands.
If he be such a fool, he must confront
The consequences of his foolishness.
Is he no grown man? Has he no control
Of what he does with his own life?
JOHN: He has,
But I am certain any man will do
As he had done. The pleating of a friend,
A fair lass smiling, and the likes of these,
May cause a man to lose his common reason,
As I am sure you've done throughout your life.
DOE: I've had enough. This argument has gone
Ad nauseam. Perhaps, in future times,
Mankind will have the competence to answer
Such questions. But I must be on my way:
I have a customer from whom a debt
I must collect.
JOHN: Ta-ta, be kind with him!

Hurrah! First commission completed! I wrote my friend a poem for her and her girlfriend's six months anniversary, and I assume she'll be most pleased. I wrote her a Petrarchan sonnet, and I'm charging half price (the usual is 100 NIS). Now she just has to pay me back; she already owes me 70 NIS (in total), and she's been postponing the 20 NIS debt for far too long.
Unum diem...
