So what happens when you put toy-boats in her pool? Or show her pictures of boats? Videos of boats? Toy boats populated by mice? Amphibious watercraft? Cars? Submarines? Hydrofoils? How does she reproduce? Are there others? Questions, man, questions!
good points, I'll see what I can come up with in the next few weeks.
this is old but … I dunno, I've always felt we're supposed to try and sort of steer clear of very cut, dried, and done concepts like these.
Clef had a idea to turn her from "sexy" type mermaid to a "Fiji" mermaid. A twisted, hideous…thing, that sinks ships to build itself a "nest" or something even more sinister…
sound like a improvement, or is it un-savable now?
I'd quite like to see Clef's idea fleshed out. If the good Doctor is so inclined, of course.
It's a siren what's a mermaid what compels you to do stuff. =|

VERY boring. I'm with the ghost of DrClef - either Fiji mermaid or decom.
Say I was to whip up a story- would I fill in the gaps from dolphins or something? e.g. dentition, minor social tics, unforeseen anatomical details?
Usually, you'd talk to the author before writing anything using their work. In this case, though, there is no verified author I'm aware of. This is a super old article. So, go ahead and do that, sure.
