If you were to become your fursona in real life, what would you actually do as him/her?

Would you continue the same old routine you had as a human, or try something entirely different.

After around 40 grueling hours of work, I finally finished it! I still need to fix some stuff with the top, but I'm not gonna do that until I get a hook instead of some elastic.

On a side note, will a clap work instead of a hook? I would like to attach it to athletic pants as I wear those a lot.

This is not one of my usual posts.

Well, it is, in that I’m going to be rambling about funding platform features, because that’s why I’m here, but this week, this is a direct ask for someone I care very much for.

But first, a dubious little landmark in my life–my 40th birthday is coming up this week, on March 6! I never thought I’d get to this point in my life, and statistically I’m twice the age of most of the Furry Fandom! Whew :) Those huge round numbers are scary, but I just got out of a furry con, so I’m still feeling young.

And I was really glad my friend, and occasional housemate, Folf (AKA Crystal Nightfolf, but weren’t we all sparkledogs in our youth?) made it to TFF. I didn’t get to see much of him, because he was reallyreally avoiding the con crud–see, Folf is going in for a double lung transplant.

Amazingly, his insurance is covering the majority of his costs, I can’t even imagine the amounts of money involved. But it stops short on covering the post-transplant medications, which total something like $100,000.

So, here’s the ask. Chip in to the save-a-folf fund.

I’m only a blogger for the shameless ego-gratification, so I, personally, would love it if with your gift you left a little note here on this post saying “Good Luck Folf and Happy Birthday Corb!” just so I’d know, maybe with “I Gave $7,500!”. If you happened to tweet a link to the campaign with #Goodluckfolf on it, that’d also be pretty cool! He’s a neat guy, big silly laugh, loves him some Legend of Zelda, put up with me for three years. I’d love to see him at next year’s Texas Furry Fiesta, maybe for more than two minutes.

If it helps, I’ll throw in a tiny special offer–if anyone donates $25 or more (and specifically says “happy birthday Corbeau” here, so that I know!) I will TOTALLY whip out my poetry degree from mothballs, just for you, and make you a poem of your own! I’ll attach it as a comment here. For $25, you get a limerick. For $50, a sonnet, 14 lines, iambs all over the place. My little ode to your generosity. Please don’t be orange, it’s a bitch to rhyme. It may take me a while to get to these (March is a really hard month for me at work), but I’ll do my best!

Oh! And while you’re at it, take a look at Indiegogo Life. It’s a new feature for Indiegogo, a low-fee/no-fee fundraising platform for important life stuff like, oh, college, or a fursuit, or a double lung transplant (some of these may not be relevant to you, but hey).. Indiegogo doesn’t charge platform fees for this service, so you’re really only paying like a 4% credit card transfer fee. Overall it’s a sleeker version of Indiegogo, with many of the social networking tools, but missing the “perks” stuff.

Unfortunately it seems to lack a “comment” field, which is why I’ve asked people to leave a note here as opposed to on Folf’s Indiegogo campaign. That seems a little short-sighted, as this is obviously part of Indiegogo’s commitment to community, and that bit of interaction is a definite +1, to my mind. We’ll see how the platform evolves.

 

 

 

So with the amount of introductionary posts in the last 24 or so hours I guess one more couldn't hurt. (Also: can't get any sleep right now. :|) It's now exactly one week since I found out what furries were actually all about. It happened in a really odd way: late hours, surfing the net on my phone, had the strange urge to come here for some mysterious reason. So I did. And I liked it. (Panicked for the first day after, halp!) Haven't told anyone of this just yet, though, since I don't see why I should. Not yet at least. I have some sort of a fursona already, he just popped into my head one piece at a time. Can't draw though, but I'm going to pick it up and see what I can do about it. :) (Off to sleep, if I can get any..)

Edit: Nope, didn't get any. What is keeping me awake tonight??

Illustration from Paradoxia: Homebound on Kickstarter

Whew! Back from Texas Furry Fiesta 2015, and recovered from the creeping con crud! Met a lot of the artists on the African Sojourn trip, and learned that Dark Natasha is planning a graphic novel kickstarter of her own soon–at least I believe it’s a graphic novel, I was a little bit sleep-deprived at the time.

My own “Crowdfunding for Furries” panel fell a little flat, since I was back-to-back with a Guest of Honor who was running his own kickstarter panel, most of the audience picked up and left when he was finished speaking. Oh well, these things happen! We had a lot of the same points to cover–though he was mostly focused on production and I was mostly focused on message. Can’t blame anybody who didn’t want to sit down for three hours of crowdfunding.

One of the questions that came up was a way to monetize a subscription product through any of the existing crowdfunding platforms–that is, “what platform can I use to subscribe to my magazine?” Neither one of us had an answer, but the “good” “people” at “FAPP (NSFW!)” have an answer that is so screamingly obvious I’m kicking myself for missing it.

Patreon allows artists to fund on a “per week” or “per month” basis, which is how most people tend to use the platform. They also allow funding on a per-item basis–that is, per song, per painting…or per book.

For little stuff like a single youtube video, per-item funding makes me nervous. But if a writer plans to release a book every six months, well, if it comes out in five months or seven months, no big deal. So the next volume of the FAPP porntastic RPG, and every volume going forward, can be purchased digitally through Patreon. Brilliant solution!

Reviews this week: The patreon campaign for bright and cheerfully in-your-face comic Taco El Gato, animated adventure with Nine Lives of Claw, and not so much a review as an article covering crowdfunding for pornographic projects,

For a “complete” list of furry/fur-friendly crowdfunding projects, check out the Project Page and Patreon Page! New Projects Books/Print

RoboTales (Ends: 3/19/2015)
Children’s chapter book series. A very well-illustrated robot dog in another solar system looks for the mystery of his creation.
I wish I knew how illustration-heavy this series was going to be, that’s always a problem with YA stuff.

Clothing/Jewelry

Fat Animal Charms (Ends: 3/22/2015)
Mini-project of chubby, chibi animals, gently rolling.

Comics/Graphic Novels

Broken Birds: Hatoful Boyfriend Fan Comic (Ends: 3/13/2015)
Comic based on stylized pigeon dating sim, with varying levels of anthro pigeons. Art by Playerprophet.
There is much in this universe that I do not understand.

M.R.S. Monster Café (Ends: 3/21/2015)
Webcomic, patchwork anthro monsters find their place in society through their café. Brightly colored madness by Shazuku and Jei.
Anybody got a reference for Jei? More art on Facebook.

Help Wanted (Ends: 3/21/2015)
A crime-fighting pup and his animated bread loaf finally get their own comic book. Very “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.”

Paradoxia: Homebound (Ends: 3/25/2015)
One-shot comic about a child lost in a fantasy world of two warring anthro armies. Art by Carey Blindenhofer.

The Aggregate (Ends: 3/31/2015)
A “Choose your own adventure” graphic novel. I’m including it purely because of GIANT CAT SPIDERS.

Film/Animation/Theater

Desert Mirage (Ends: 3/16/2015)
A live-action/animation hybrid, sort of a low-budget Roger Rabbit, featuring a vengeful racoon and an out-of-work janitor.
The art on this one is a little bit ‘not ready for FurAffinity.’ Project doesn’t seem super-fundible at this point.

The Nine Lives of Claw (Ends: 3/30/2015)
A cybernetic cat, a mouse, they fight crime, usually in the form of malicious anthro dogs. Animated action.

Aggressive Lucario Mascot (Ends: 4/3/2015)
Sketch comedy: A Lucario fursuit mascot assaults the guests of an amusement part.
I’m tempted to fund this just to see what a $300 Lucario costume would look like.

Tabletop Games

Earth Dragons & Other Rare Creatures (Ends: 3/18/2015)
Earthy, swampy, leafy, fairy-y dragons, field guide and playing card deck.

Cat Quest (Ends: 3/29/2015)
Cartoony cats on a magical card game quest to destroy dragons and unicorns. Hmm.

Dragoon: Dragon Action Strategy Game (Ends: 3/31/2015)
Cute and minimal ‘be the dragon, destroy the town’ game, designed to fit in a little storage bag. Nice design, convenient minigame size.
Over goal!

Toys

Wananeko Soft Vinyl Toy (Ends: 3/18/2015)
Designer toy in the “psycho pointy cat monster” mode.

Video Games

Hera and Sooky (Ends: 3/30/2015)
A side-scrolly platformer with a lot of gear-gathering featuring two cute cartoony non-anthro dogs and their grappling, leaping, boating adventures.
Sort of like “Megaman” meets “The Incredible Journey.”

Cat-Shaped Life (Ends: 4/1/2015)
A gently cartoony cat-shaped-cat sim. Fight the washer!

…Causes

Kikongo Otter Sanctuary (Ends: 4/26/2015): Sanctuary for Mazu the Congo Clawless Otter and other African otters. Cute stuff here, you’ve been warned.

…Meh

Icicle on his Bicycle: The Misunderstood Husky (Ends: 3/16/2015): Children’s book, a little husky boy on a journey through the woods on his bicycle. Sometimes dreams exceed artistic ability, trippy colors though. Also, count the adjectives.

…Just for fun

Studio Cosplay (Ends: 3/15/2015): A makerspace specifically for costuming and cosplay, opening in the Washington DC area.

 What’s Corbeau Backing This Week?
Lordy, someone take my credit card out of my paws. My income tax refund came in, so I put it toward a really hot little item–“Inkwip,” leather arm-bands for writers, with pens built in. I couldn’t say no to the intersection of bondage and scrivening. I’m trying very hard to say no to getting all three designs, that’s perhaps a little insane.Terry Giliam is producing a surrealist film called “Hallucinaut,” a microscopic epic set in the palm of someone’s hand, it looks haunting and weird. It looks like that one might make goal! But it’ll be close. And the good folks at Red Dragon Inn are releasing a new installment of their beer-and-pretzels card game, one of my favorites and an annual Kickstarter tax.

And please don’t tell my mom this, but I signed up for FAPP’s patreon. It’s so stupid I can’t turn away.
