I had a story (Tria’s Tale) that I’d been working on for a while, and began posting the second draft to a writers’ group I belonged to.

I wasn’t expecting the reactions of certain bad influences to it, lol.

In the comments for the first part of Chapter Four, Kate started the ball rolling with the question “Does Mrir smell like cinnamon?”

Lisa popped in and asked “Hmm…I wonder if catnip works on him? ”

My response was “LOL…I can just see a 6 and half foot tall cat man doing the face in the bag of catnip, rolling around on the floor looking stoned thing my cat used to do!”

To which JC replied: “In response to your comment to LT….if anyone could write a scene like that one…YOU COULD!
In fact, we should have a contest…you, LT, me – whomever…and write one for the Blue Room or something…ROFLMAO, would Helen bust a gut or what?! OMG”

And thus, the gauntlet was thrown to the sands, and mayhem did ensue.

Then there arose a new instigator in our furry adventures: Damian , with his question “But, who’s doing the seduction of the female Katarr? Seems only fair, hmmm?”

Whereupon another gauntlet was thrown at his feet, as we informed him, “Looks like that’s up to you!”

Invitation / challenge was accepted, and into the Katarr sandbox he mightily strode.

Next thing you know, Katarr Kanticles Press was born.
