It might just be the hype I've gotten from the seeing the Paralympics getting some actually decent coverage this year, but I've been seriously considering doing a webcomic about wheelchair basketball.

I mentioned I'd considered doing something like it a little while ago on my old tumblr account, but decided not to mostly because I just don't like drawing humans enough to do a comic about them lol. There's no rule though that says sports stories HAVE to be human, and I think there's some interesting things you could do with a story about furries centred on a sport that is designed from the get go to cater to wildly different types of bodies.

So meet Avery, one of the characters in this possible webcomic. I decided if I'm going to do this, it's going to be focused on a lower-level team, since I figured it would be easier to explain the game to readers who are less familiar with the sport that way - and also because I know a too many people on my country's national teams/in the national leagues personally to feel comfortable writing about at a more elite team lol.

It's hard to get motivated to go to the gym, but even harder when you know the equipment will not be accessible....
