i fooled around with making this story into a graphic novel, but nothing really ever came of it. probably the biggest barrier to this story was the amount of research i'd have to do to accurately depict the eighties - this goes for any piece of historical fiction, even if it's furries, but i felt extra pressure since... you know. most people who lived through the eighties are still around and not even that elderly. i also didn't feel confident at the time that i had the skills as a storyteller to talk about the AIDS crisis in a respectful way. still - i do like this story and might revisit it someday if i find myself blessed with the luxury of time, energy, and motivation.
