Steampunk Octopus by Meg Lyman

Undersea Love by Meg Lyman

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 14:51:37 -0000

The cute girly octopus was just going about her business; it was part of her job to go get that computer upgrade. The shark technician was cute and competent and kept asking her to lunch. She was a bit intimidated; after all, he WAS a shark, with all those big pointy teeth... and she didn't even have a backbone. But she agreed, mostly because of that beautiful toothy smile... and the rest is history.

Baseball Squid by Meg Lyman

Sat, 01 Sep 2007 22:02:55 -0000

Baseball Squid lived for the crack of the bat. He loved the sensation of soaring through the air and the roar of the crowd when he was a homerun. But despite his happiness, he was never quite content. He always wanted to be the one to hit a homerun. He found a baseball keychain, started practicing, and went up to the plate to show them he could hit one out of the park.
