Steampunk bunnies. Very interesting idea.

I see what's going on here! New mass market paperback ideas!

EDIT: Oh oh oh! I got an idea!! Steampunk bunnies who team up with cyberpunk cats and solve crimes!!

Maybe that's what all the conspiracy talk has been about. We thought they were just.. you know, bunnies that happen to be able to talk, but back at the ranch.. they are...

Tah-da-da-daaah!


DUN DUN DUN


Oh we forgot ZOMBIE BUNNIES! >> Horror genre
or
Vampire bunnies>> I think vampire fic has become a genre of it's own, so how many alternatives to plain old fantasy do we have by now? >> Vampire Fiction

I don't know enough about the story to know if it could go into >> Romance, but from what it sounds like, it could perhaps go into>> War?

Or how about >> Politics?

Count?

Oh em gee! I think you struck gold with the politics idea. It could totally go as a reflection of the times.

Paranormal /vampire/zombie/steampunk/cyberpunk/mystery-thriller bunnies sound great. New ground breaking genre! Can't wait to see zombie element.

Definitely a reflection of our times.

Maybe we should find someone to read WD to if it wins. Do it aloud.

What is this 'if' I read? Obviously no one else noticed the amazingness of the other books as much as WD.

Bunnicula, what a great title. Thanks. Added it. :)

What the hell? I need to pay more attention to poll comments.

You never read Bunnicula?!? That book STILL makes me check my veggies in the morning!

No. Delighted to find it! But is it going to make me paranoid about bunnies? I live in the country, could be stressful...

Not only did I just add Bunnicula to my to-read shelf . . . I also "rescued" the Kindle edition.

Good deed for the day--done.

*shudder* Please no.

Kind of detective bunny - The Rabbit Factory

Ground breaking new genres not so groundbreaking after all. But does anyone know of a zombie bunny book? Huh? That's a challenge.

Look up, I already posted one :P

What about Zombie Raccoons & Killer Bunnies?

Or Space Library: Revenge of the Vampire Zombie Bunnies

What the hell? These posts.....since I last checked.

They multiplied like....rabbits.

This is the funniest thread on goodreads. I've been bitten by a pet rabbit. Tried to disembowel my arm. I flung it away, then was mortified as it was my daughter's pet. Luckily all fine, he/she (never really knew) survived the incident, as did I.

LOL....Looks like we're going to have lots of fun reading our bunny book. (If it wins, of course... but my faith is strong)

You guys are great!

Ack! A bunny on steroids! Sounds like a surreal experience...

It's science, that's what it is... :D

It was. In a surreal state of bunny shock all day. Also plagued by guilt. Instinct kicked in. I flung him hard

I've been sitting on the fence, posting comments willy-nilly and avoiding the vote, but these extra previously unexplored (at least by me) dimensions to WD have confirmed my vote. So WD for me, it is. I'll never read it in the same way again.

Yes, that's understandable; you must have had a big fright. I wonder why it acted that way though. Was it a mommy with babies? A territorial male, perhaps?

I was bitten by a white rat in a pet shop once, not sure why, but rats do bite. Once a squirrel in the park drew blood from my finger while I was feeding it peanuts. In that case, I think my finger simply looked like a peanut. :P Still, I went for rabies and tetanus shots just in case...Who knows, it could have been a rabid killer squirrel and I got off lightly. XD

I suspect Big Bunny (yes, that was what our daughter called it) mistook my hand for some kind of vegetable or food offering. Didn't show much remorse afterwards though. I suspect it was a slightly unhinged bunny (mother tame, dad a feral bunny) from the start. We did make peace, as the feeding duty always fell to me, and even a bunny knows that you don't bite the hand that feeds you...

Rabid killer squirrel. Now there's a thought.

My sister has kept rabbits as pets for the last decade or so. They are scary scary creatures. One of them loved to bite just for the taste of blood and the evil satisfaction, I'm sure of it!!

The others were more rabbity: they'd only bite if they got scared or such.

They are far tougher than they look. And moody! One day it's all cute twitching of the nose and chewing of the daisies, the next day it goes for the jugular (exaggerating a bit, it was my hand and arm. He/she latched on and used it's back legs to gouge me, teeth in my hand). But we still loved her/him (suckers!).

I find nothing adorable or amusing about rabbits. Am I missing something here?

I think if we read WD I'll be rooting for the other side. Fiver has suddenly become an entirely different character...

Yes, all along I thought rabbits were these cute, soft, fluffy little creatures, and I'm already starting to see a totally darker side of them, and we haven't even started reading the book yet... <_<
