Boy that was hard. This was originally a longer work of my, but condensing it was difficult to the writer in me. If you want to view the original, http://zxvasdf.wordpress.com/2010/12/05/oopas/ plus a small comic strip interpretation http://zxvasdf.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/oopas-the-comic-strip/
After I waded through the fantastical language surrounding these oopas like a membrain I began to wonder at the complexity of these immortal creatures.
zxvasdf, I really liked the WordPress version and the comic strip made me laugh with delight. You almost need the expantion of characters to give it the right pace. Your ficly feels flattened to me and does not do these little guys justice. (Oopas are cute!)
I totally flattened them with this ficly! Maybe I could have done better, do them critters some justice. They were inspired by the Beanworld graphic novels by Larry Marder.
oops aren’t as cute as his beans are though. You should totally check it out.
