Somemore bits and pieces from me for now :)<br/><br/>First, the thing about inviting extra people is fine by me. Four people would be stretching it slightly- I could see how it could just about work, but an extra person or two would be good!<br/><br/>Yep, that image is roughly how I'd imagined it to look! I'm clear now on how the pets would look.<br/><br/>As for location, my first vote would go out to southern France- I've been there several times before, and it really is a beautiful place. As a second, I'd go with Japan. Whilst I've only visited for a couple of days whilst I was on a 6 week tour of Asia, I've studied and am quite interested in Far Eastern culture. Overall though, I'm not overly fussed in the end where it takes place. So long as it's not somewhere icy cold like Scandinavia!<br/><br/>Apologies for finding it a bit difficult to shift my way of thinking- I've become very accustomed to pet play being.. well, just that, play, as opposed to a social order. If I am to understand correctly (before I can truly grasp and embrace the concept), the full pets are animals, and it is wrong to see them as human in any way, shape or form- they are now as animal like as my cat sitting on my bed now, and are treated accordingly. In the same way people love their pets, some are left and abandoned. In this view, the introduction of a proper pet is bestiality from the viewpoint of the characters within the story, and to extent us, when we write.<br/><br/>Of course, this all breaks down slightly at the club. To the rest of the world, these modified pets are animals, so treat them as such. The one point I'm still wrangling with is how their knowing owners view them- do they see them as simply animals and hence engage in bestiality, from their viewpoint, or are they classed more as freak hybrids, so bestiality cannot properly apply?
