?d-0; a short introductory novel

Furry Reddit - Mon 5 Jan 2015 - 14:02

Er... hello.

Originally, I'd written up a good half-page of (attempted) comedic dialog, illustrating my internal struggle to come up with an introduction that represented myself. After a bit of pedantic synonym switching and rephrasing, I headed onto the subreddit to post this cheap shot at originality, when I suddenly realised that;

A. As nice as people are on /r/furry, writing about my thought process as an introduction to the group, would probably be regarded as a bit weird...

B. and the fact that's the kind of thing I would do describes me better than anything I could possibly write anyway.

So... I'm a socially inept Brit, who's been hovering around the fandom for a while now. As a pretty typical teen, I'm into video-games and sleeping. Sandbox games are my scene, as I would say that being creative and working towards long-term goals is more rewarding than running around like a lunatic, clicking on things. If you asked anyone who's played with me however, they'd probably say that I'm just embarrassed about being thrashed by all the 12 year olds on FPS's. Don't believe them. They're all unimaginative liers.

Animal-wise, I've always had a soft-spot for wolves, but especially foxes which have been my favourite animal for longer than I can remember (at least 24 hrs). I don't really know why, I think Robin Hood had some kind of influence on me, but it seems the "D word" was banned as of earlier today, so I guess I'll avoid that topic.

Considering I set out here to write a brief, concise version of my previous introduction, of which I've now exceeded the word count, you could say that perhaps I'm not the kind of person who learns well from their mistakes. But at least it's no longer half a page of me suffering with writers block. So there's that.

But I can see the virtual "stop talking" signs being raised, so I guess what I'm trying to say is... I know very little about the fandom, but you seriously look like one of the friendliest, welcoming and mentally sane groups of people I've ever come across on the internet... and er... Can I hang out with you? Please?

...also... does this mean that I get a free hug? ?d-0

Edmonton Oil Kings hockey hosts fursuiter race. “It’s looking hairy at ice level!”

Dogpatch Press - Mon 5 Jan 2015 - 10:49
On video: “Louis the Lion battles for racing supremacy in the first ever Frantic Furry 500!” Sometimes I joke about my low interest in sports. (Sorry, Canadians!) I’d love it if the teams were all mascots, while one sports guy runs around for laughs. I imagine mascots worry about being upstaged by fursuiters. But the furries showed they’re good sports […]

Book of the Month: Spirit Hunters – Book 1: The Way of the Fox by Paul Kidd

Furry Writers' Guild - Mon 5 Jan 2015 - 08:39

January’s Book of the Month, Spirit Hunters – Book 1: The Way of the Fox, is written by FWG member Paul Kidd.

“There is a vessel without sides, ever full, yet ever empty.
There is a river without end. Ever still, yet ever flowing.
Fathomless, it is the origin of all things…”

spirit coverThe Sacred Islands: A medieval land of noble samurai and animal spirits. Of scheming nobles, of magic and ancient mystery.

Kitsune Sura, a wandering fox priestess, assembles a group of would-be monster hunters. Penniless and carefree, they travel from palaces to villages, seeking out dangerous mysteries.

A fox, two samurai and a shy and gracious rat go forth on a career of bizarre adventures. The Spirit Hunters battle ghosts, tangle with magic and delve into terrifying puzzles. They must even survive the horrors of kitsune cuisine.

These are the first three adventures of the Spirit Hunters saga. Bright, funny and exciting – these are tales of cunning monsters, flashing swords, stalwart samurai, faithful rats – and the rather dodgy antics of a fox.

Spirit Hunters:
Delightful romps in a gorgeous magical Japanese otherwhen.

“Trust me – I’m a fox!”

Ebook available from Amazon. Print version available from Lulu.

Fur new to Reddit here!

Furry Reddit - Mon 5 Jan 2015 - 05:52

Hello you fuzzy people! My name is Flux and I'm a wolf. :) I'm new to Reddit and I'm looking for some new fur friends!

A little bit about me, I'm 17 years old, currently a senior in high school, and live in the US. I've been a furry for a couple of years now but was never very active in the community, but I'm ready to change that. Also, I play a LOT of PC games. :P You can usually find me playing TF2, CSGO, Arma, and sometimes some other games. If you want to chat feel free to PM me or check out my FurAffinity OR add me on Steam

Jumping on the bandwagon, free headshots first 3 people.

Furry Reddit - Mon 5 Jan 2015 - 03:10

Up until recently my major contribution to the fandom has been yarn tails but I want to work on my art more now, but I need practice.

Starting small because I draw really slow. First three people that post a reference will get a free head shot. I'm pretty good with females, wolf, fox, canine et. Everything is welcome but quality not guaranteed on things outside my comfort zone.

Post away!

If I do good and people like them I may do more.

Slots:

  1. Arpeggias

  2. Stormpegy

  3. Woolywolf

Shameless plug though. I am hosting a ladder auction (ends January 1st, to help out a friend in need. Details here.

ELI5. Why are fursuits so damn expensive?

Furry Reddit - Mon 5 Jan 2015 - 01:30

Like, why are they usually around the $3-5,000 range? Is there any deciding factors or just a shit ton of markup?
