Back when the booru was around, I took a break from the Sam Adams Guide after finishing Chapter 7 in April of 2020, and didn’t get back to writing the guide until September '20. However since I needed to do a bit more research before I finish Chapter 8, I decided to do a gaiden first. In addition, I did this gaiden because there was a theme and approach Meh had to fluffies which I found rather interesting.
Some notes on this gaiden:
-
Chapter 8 which will be a tribute to Meh and Black-Dragon-Blood
-
this Gaiden included a summary of events in the months of June to August 2020, including the unexpected return of @Carpdime and Marcusmaximus, as well as @Gardel/@Fluffus’s work on The Fluffy Sink
-
Although this gaiden follows on the events of Chapter 7, it is also technically a direct sequel to the April Fools/Halloween chapter.
-
thus, and like Gaiden II, this Gaiden is about 10 - 25% canon.
-
The Japanese man is Takeshi, who was last seen in my Fluffecters story. I might write the character again, since he operates in a universe with more ‘toyetic’ fluffies.
-
I should use that Carpdime foal with USB port more. A story about that should pop up soon.
-
One of the themes I keep seeing discussed is whether fluffies are animals, or if they are even ‘alive’ to begin with. While this is a hugbox series, I do think its one of the more interesting themes of fluffies that should be explored and not treated reductively.
