You'll get what the subject title means after you read the following. Okay, so. I've read in the "info" section of the site that "Nine Lives" had a prototype entitled "Fuzz". (do you get the not-so-clever title now ?) I've already read the information that Ms. Stavin layed out for the site in regards of "Fuzz". However, I'm curious to know more about it. To know about the finer details that were left out from the "info" section. You know; things like the characters, the premise, etc. It was mentioned that there were plenty of those who liked the predecessor. So if you happen to have been one of them, I ask of you to share what you know of it with me. I have considered the option of directly asking Ms. Stavin herself, but I just think that may seem kind-of rude. Yeah, I know that what I'm doing may seem pretty annoying. But, sometimes I can't help with being so curious about the past. I kind-of enjoy looking back at the history of something that interests me & find out what I can about it. Well, that could explain why I like classes about history & why I'm really into the "Tomb Raider" franchise . Understand the past, persevere in the present, & have hope for the future.

honestly, it really wasn't that different. the main characters were boo, renard, wolf, melanie and marco. marie did start as boo's coworker at the diner, but originally was just a random coworker and not a real character. later i developed her into one. story was very basically the same, minus the whole boo and marie thing of course, and sean and shulei weren't in it. in fact, i have one of the old pages scanned... keep in mind i did this when i was like 15... haha so yeah don't worry, i don't think it's rude of you to be curious! i'm happy to answer any other questions you've got. but nine lives is pretty much a better, more developed version of fuzz. you didn't miss much. trust me.

Cheeto's right. It really does have more anime/manga look to it. Almost making it completely different form its descendant. Like it was someone else who made it.
I appreciate that you took the time to give me a reply, Ms. Stavin. And that you were being open towards my curiousity. I found this all very interesting.
And I'm glad that you're not showing signs of being upset towards the fact that I referred to you as "Ms. Stavin" XD. Most others wouldn't be very pleased with being treated the same way. They probably think it makes them feel a lot older than they really are or something.

They probably think it makes them feel a lot older than they really are or something. well, people change y'know? i used to be into anime, i used to draw anime style, i grew out of it. i wanted to do something else. it was just a phase in my life and it's pretty much been over for a few years now. and i've got no problem answering questions! as for being called ms. stavin... well, i'm not used to being called that, but i don't mind it either. i didn't think of it as a feeling old thing but more of a respect thing. but you can call me nikki if y'like!

lol yeah Wolf is more sweet, but I kind of like the new one, gives him a rough-around the edges feel, but Renard will be the one to smooth them out and don't be ashamed of your art Nikki, that's far better than what I drew when I was that age, let alone right now ;_; I'm 20 and I quit drawing because I never progressed past a certain point and just can't get back into it anymore. I too would like to see more of Fuzz I mean technically it's the same thing, but it (from what I gathered from your explanation and the doodle itself) is that personalities were a lot different in that day and age, I wonder though, was Marco as emo then as he is now? XD (Also side note, I've been reading Gunnerkrigg Court, and decided to wiki Reynardine, and found out Renard is french for fox.... I never knew this, but wanted to know if that's where you got Renard's name, because it was so out there that I thought it was just a name you came up with XD) (Oh and first post on the new forum since the old one went kaput <.<)

it's funny, i actually just found all the old pages in my closet... i've been doing some hardcore cleaning in there because i just let stuff accumulate and i don't touch it for years, haha... they're um. interesting. maybe i'll show you guys a few pages.
i guess their personalities have just matured a bit since i myself have matured since then. and haha, marco is soooo emo in recent pages i know... he was actually a bit different in the original though i never got to his part in it. i don't know a lot has changed since the days when i was 14 and just drew silly comics, haha...
i guess i'm not ashamed of it but sometimes i wish i could erase my anime phase from my history. i don't know why. i find it a little embarrassing i guess. i was such an awkward teenager. hahahahah...
and yeah! that's how i got the name for renard. totally imaginative right??? haha, my parents actually used to be friends with a guy named renard. i think it's a pretty neat name. i guess for the heck of it i'll mention that wolf's name is a nickname. to be honest i haven't entirely decided what his full name should be though.
also gunnerkrigg is a pretty good comic, even if it reminds me a little too much of harry potter (which was even acknowledged in a guest strip i think)
