I just got back into playing old school runescape and I was wondering if any of you guys know of any furry clan chats?

I use to chill in thefurrychat and thefurchat quite a bit back in the day but I guess they both ended up dying.

hey Y'all, A bunch of my friends from california always talk about going to monthly furry meetups, and I'd really like to go to one. However, I live in Seattle so going with my friends isn't an option. So does anyone know of any? It doesn't have to be monthly, but I'd love to meet up with local furs. -thanks for any help :3

So I just found out that I have some unexpected money coming in and wanted to use it to get a partial hyena fursuit done. Are there any artists you denizens of r/furry would recommend?

So it's been a while since I've done a free headshot post, yeah? Easily over a month.

This time, I can't offer the usual 20+ that I normally do. I do, however, need some warm up practice.

I'm looking for FIVE people, with one catch: it has to be a non-standard species. I draw enough dragons and wolves and foxes, so I'm looking to get some practice with more exotic, unusual, or unique sonas.

This isn't a first come first serve. These won't be colored on account of my laptop charger being dead, but they will be better quality sketch than just a lineart.

Bonus: if anyone has a Sergal, I'll draw it without it counting towards the other 5. I have a commission that involves Sergals and I'm not quite comfortable with them yet

Hello Papabear,

I am wondering how am I supposed to become a popufur since way back then until now. No matter how hard myself trying on improving my conversation between people, fixing up my self-image, making new friends (fur friends and real life human) and learn and googled about how to strike a conversation and keeping it going on, but I failed to do so!

Does Papabear have any valuable advice and guidance that will not only help me improve myself but becoming a popufur I would gladly appreciate and practice until I become a popufur.

Thanks, Papabear. I am looking foward for your reply!

From a shy wolf,
VolkWolf (age 20, Malaysia)

Dear VolkWolf,

Nice to hear from a furry all the way from Malaysia :-3  I can see you’re learning English pretty well, although still struggling a bit. Because of that, you might not realize what a popufur is. Popufurs are people who want to be popular for the sake of popularity. This might sound cool, but, in truth, it is a very shallow attitude to have. People who desperately seek to have lots of followers on furry and other social websites do so because they wish to be validated. That is, they wish to be seen as valuable furries in the community. Whether or not that attention is deserved is not important; all that matters to a popufur is that he or she be seen as something special and someone to be envied and put on a pedestal.

What you, I hope, really want is to make more friends in the furry community, and to make more connections to people who share your interests both locally and around the world. That is the better goal to set for yourself. Real, true, loyal friends are priceless. Each real friend is worth more than a million groupies who only follow you because you have set yourself up as a “popufur” and they want to join the bandwagon.

How do you make friends? Well, you say you are already doing that, which is great, so perhaps you don’t need any tips, but the way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind to others, be supportive, be interested in their lives and what they have to say. Don’t do anything to hurt them; don’t betray them; try and always keep your word. No one is a perfect friend (I myself have failed to be one on several occasions, to my regret), but it is something toward which you should always strive.

So, VolkWolf, my advice to you is this: you're asking the wrong question; don’t try to be a popufur; try to be the best friend to others that you can be. Little else matters in this world other than kindness and love. If we all were kind and loving to one another, just think what an amazing world it would be.

Hugs,

Papabear


P.S. If you'll indulge me, this reminds me of a song I love by Steve Martin.

So, I'm a rather recent addition to the furry club, and I see a lot of talk about "fursonas".

From what I can tell, they are basically half human, half animal? Seems pretty cool, and I kind of want to make one myself.

Are there any guides out there on making a fursona thing?

Please note that submissions are now closed.

We interrupt your regularly-scheduled furry introspection to bring you this message from Lunostophiles:

For the past week, [adjective][species] has been focusing on furry themes in non-furry poetry. It’s been really great, as a poet, to see Shining River writing about the use of animals in verse, and all they can represent (both realistically and metaphorically). Poetry sometimes has an issue of gatekeeping, even if it’s self-imposed, so it’s nice to have open discussion.

But I think we should take this one step further.

I, as a proxy for [adjective][species], want to see what you, the fandom, have to offer. We are holding a poetry submission drive, with the hopeful outcome of publishing and showcasing a few great poets here on the website!

A few rules, though:

1. Submissions must be either about animals (realistically or metaphorically), or about the fandom. This means you can write about a specific animal, or an animalistic ideal, or about cons, fandom politics, or what it means to be a furry. As long as it has some sort of relation to animals/furries, we’ll accept it as a submission!
2. Submissions must be currently unpublished. While we will totally accept submissions that have been posted on Weasyl, SoFurry, Fur Affinity, or other sites like it, we will not be accepting anything that’s been published by any web- or print-based publication. If you had to submit it before, you can’t submit it here.
3. Submissions do not have to be new. If you have a poem you really like that’s a few years old, that’s still fine! Submitted poems don’t have to be for the express purpose of this application.

Our hope is to get a few really stand-out submissions to post on [adjective][species]. Please submit by the end of March. There is no limit to size, form, or style—be creative, be original, and write about whatever you want within the parameters.

I’m so excited to curate this collection, and I can’t wait to see what you all submit!

Submit your poetry by email to: lunostophiles@gmail.com

Sorry for the late topic, guys! I've been sick this week so this totally slipped my mind. Welcome to another week of the Wednesday Friday Writing Prompt!

Last week, /u/Chake1 suggested a romance prompt. And while I'm sure you guys see a lot of that, it can be really fun to write. I want to see specifically how you met your boyfriend/girlfriend. If you're single, just describe how you imagine it would go. It can be a goofy experience like falling on your butt during the winter, bumping into him or her, etc. Or it could be something that slowly developed over time from friendship. Just give me a meeting story between you and a potential boyfriend or girlfriend.

~

As always, stories can be a maximum of five comments, and if it exceeds that limit, post a link to an external site! I want to stress for this prompt, no erotica. Keep it clean, but swearing is okay. If you have any ideas for future writing prompts, leave them in a separate comment so I know what you guys want to see! Happy writing!
