In rewriting this story, I preserved the overall plotline, but I found I needed to make quite a few changes to the details. The most obvious, of course, was to assign animal species to the characters and change the descriptions to match. But there were several others, including:

• The majority in the furry asphyxia group prefer MM stories, so I changed most of the characters from female to male. Pronouns often don't work in same-sex scenes, so you end up with some rather awkward-looking sentences. I changed the viewpoint from third-person (focused on the main character) to first-person. Whenever the main character is in a scene, "I" replaces "he", "me" replaces "him", etc.

  And of course the clothing had to become pants and shirts instead of dresses and skirts, and other details of the description changed: attractive females needed to become attractive males.

• Academy Girl has a cannibalism/vore theme, which is consistent with many of Dolcett's drawings: a certain amount of "girlmeat" is necessary to everybody's health. I couldn't just delete the cannibalism, because it's part of the characters' motivation — most women look forward to eventually having their meat eaten, though some wait until they are nearly forty before arranging their hanging or beheading.

  I changed this to fur: wearing the fur of another anthro improves the immune system and makes one "lucky". This preserves the characters' motivations without getting into the squickiness of cannibalism.

• In Cardaniel's story, women are usually submissive — and often slaves — and men are frequently (but not always) dominant. This is enforced on Purity Island: all women are slaves, men are free. When I rewrote the story with a male protagonist, I could have reversed the sex roles, but that didn't feel right. Instead, I made the distinction by species: prey are usually submissive, predators are more often dominant.

• I found Cardaniel's style a bit formal for my taste, so I rewrote much of the description into a more "breezy" style.
