Had fun with this one. Saves SO much time not worrying about those silly balloons! (the speech bubbles. Get your mind out of the butts.)
One thing I really, really appreciate about Prequel – up until recently – was that it’s a lot more like real life (which is an odd thing to say about a web cartoon involving talking cats) than nearly anything out there. I have a fondness for characters that have more realistic lives. Never could get into superhero stuff, it just didn’t interest me. It wasn’t real. Prequel, as I said, was. Now, I fear, it may be leaving that behind – but stories have to have a climax and an end. I guess it couldn’t go on too long being about a regular cat with nothing special about her. Something had to give.
Long ago I used to be a little bit into Anime. Old stuff. My favorites were Maison Ikkoku and Kimagure Orange Road. Still are I guess. KOR had a bit of “magic” stuff, but only for comic relief really. And yeah, both sappy romantic story lines. (Though I REALLY appreciated the realistic split of the triangle at the end of KOR. People get hurt in life, even squeaky annoyingly cute people.)
So, after I finished the last one, I thought about that a bit. It was a bit of sexy humor to end the “strip” with, but it wasn’t real. What would REALLY happen if KM did that? Well, this is what would really happen. Or worse. Probably worse. And if I like stories that are a bit more real, I’d best haul this one back in a bit. With a bit of a teaser for “almost nobodies” since in real life, everything can change too.
Finally, I’m thinking seriously about if I should stop using the Katia/Prequel tags. Seems kind of blatantly coat-tailing on the back of Kaz’s hard work with my ridiculously easy work. If I do, I’ll just tag with Katherine Managan instead.
So if you like this, and want to promote it, and aren’t too embarrassed to do so, reblog it.
But I feel kinda like a leech, and Kaz probably already knows I’m doing this by now, and I do respect his wishes and his work so much I’d drop this in a heartbeat if he asked me to. But it sure is fun to do anyway. So, is this officially a fanfiction of a fanfiction now? How far down the rabbit hole does it go?
