I still consider AiryTales.net a home base for the Airy Tales project, but since DeviantArt is a strong supporter of the Creative Commons licenses, I figured it made a certain amount of sense to post all three of them here too. That includes a new one, based on Goldilocks. There's a nice RTF formatted version over on the site, but I figure a little text edition never hurt anybody. It's in my gallery.

Originally this story was supposed to be a lot more than just text. It was conceived as a mixed-media storybook -- some 3D rendered art, some 2D drawn art, and some photography (including a live model playing Goldilocks) all mixed together as a digital storybook. Some of those elements exist, but they never came together for various reasons. It was too ambitious.

But every so often I see people in the inflation community saying "I'm bored" or "I don't know what to draw" -- well, I'll humbly submit one idea. Any illustrators or cartoonists who find these stories amusing are hereby encouraged to draw pictures to go with them. I have a different version of the story that maps it out as a storybook, and I can turn your illustrations into a PDF, just like I did with PBallooned's version of Little Red Riding Hood. I would love to have multiple versions of these well-known stories from different writers and different illustrators, all adding their personal inflatable spins. Working together, we can make something cool and free for the community.

Meanwhile, enjoy the light smut, and have a happy Halloween.
