Two things...

[altivo]

First, I want to call everyone's attention to the efforts of our artist friend, chris_sawyer who has signed up to ride in the Lifecycle run to raise money for AIDS support and assistance. He needs more pledges in order to reach his goal of $2500 raised. Every little bit helps. For more information, please see his post here.

Second, especially for my equine friends but also for anyone who likes a good story, there was one posted by Devin Hallsworth today as part of the TSA Christmas Story exchange that I really enjoyed. You can read it here. It involves a serious setting and a very nice human to horse transformation, with a twist...

*twitches, unable to keep from laughing altogether though* Horrible pun...

Actually, I thought it was pretty slick. The word is correctly used in both senses, and even though I love puns and usually can see one coming, I was taken completely aback.

I have to admit that it is nicely executed, but it still made me groan and laugh at the same time.

TSA christmas story exchange? Oh... wait. Not *that* TSA. c.c

Cute story, in any case. ^^

No, I wouldn't have anything to do with THAT TSA.

This one is the "Transformation Story Archive" or rather, the mailing list associated with it. The group is made up of writers who like to deal with themes involving physical or psychological transformations.

And yes, it's a cute story. I laughed a lot.

*chuckles* I thought you wouldn't... and yes, I know the Transformation Story Archive (at least by name). ^^ It occurred to me that it was this one that was meant after a second or two, too, but the first thing I thought of was indeed *that* TSA. ^.~

Nice story. And quite punny. :)

Thanks for the link though. I'd never been to that site before. Looks like a few interesting things to read. Just in time for a little time off too.

Yes, the pun took me entirely by surprise. I just wasn't expecting it by then. But that makes it just that much more effective, I think.
