It&#8217;s all gone a bit &#8220;cartoonish&#8221; admittedly&#8230; Funny though. : )</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30223?basename=62230 2008-05-14T10:31:05Z YodaOnCrack http://ficlets.com/authors/yodaoncrack <p>Yeah, I step away for a few days and look at what guys have done to the place!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30223?basename=62223 2008-05-14T06:20:07Z Crown Me Tarzan, King of Mars http://ficlets.com/authors/user_605 <p>Moneky fight, monkey fight.. awesome i can picture it in my mind and I am laughing.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30223?basename=61994 2008-05-13T03:44:11Z SKermitgorf http://ficlets.com/authors/kermitgorf <p>Very exciting, a 16 yr old girl versus a mutant macaque. And the whole scene winds up very evocative of the old serial adventure series.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30223?basename=61738 2008-05-12T12:42:30Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477 <p>Kinda like a modern-day Planet of the Apes type o&#8217; thing. CMTKOM should jump in here somewhere. After all, it&#8217;s his series. Haven&#8217;t seen him around in awhile &#8211; miss his stuff&#8230;</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30223?basename=61709 2008-05-12T02:29:34Z YodaOnCrack http://ficlets.com/authors/yodaoncrack <p>I love this (resurrected or maybe &#8216;reinvigorated&#8217; series). I&#8217;m still trying to figure out if I like Stella, but I sure love those apes! I hope we can keep this thing going. It&#8217;s completely awesome!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30223?basename=61708 2008-05-12T02:26:26Z thebetweenspace http://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspace
