Do we have a race? & Other questions (Partly NSFW)

Furry Reddit - Tue 23 Dec 2014 - 08:22

So I was listening to a podcast who partly covered the MFF gassing that was unfortunate. But after a bit they, through their curiosity, brought up a few kind Indirect questions (Link will be in the footnotes) that I couldn't answer myself as I've only been a fur for a year+. One of them being: Do we as Furies have a race (Guessing in fursona forms)? Of course we have our fursonas which are like avatars & Other kins, then we have descriptive labels like fox, wolf and dragon etc.

Another was: How many are there of us globally? I know there are figures out there but all of them seem out of date. Then another, which I'll provide a time stamp for and for the rest. Mainly to put some context behind this.

This kinda got the ball rolling in my head, like we are fans of anthropomorphic animal characters yet we create these collectively which kind of puts us in a paradox of creator and fan, which ones are we? Or are we just divided?.

Then there's the part of if we are a fandom of anthropomorphic animal characters, shouldn't there be fan fiction / stories (Note: I haven't found any at the time of writing this)?

Of course there's the other side of the coin to the fandom, but mostly everything about our fandom is ether social or in an image form. Nothing written.

I have many more questions but it's getting late, so I'll conclude.

Answers to these could be easy, but I couldn't find any, any help or opinions would be great.

Footnotes: Podcast that the questions were mentioned in:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlAcCs6I7_I

*Full segment (NSFW: Language & Mention of sexual topics) for context 6:30 - 18:20 *A question for Fursuiters (Clean) 14:30 - 14:40 *The race question (NSFW: Language) 16:04 - 16:20

=To the mods, if the links a ruled to be against the rules of the subreddit, I'll be more than happy to remove them. For now they serve as context & academic uses. (This is like my 3rd-ish post, so I'm adding this to be safe)

They Will Change the World of Dragons

In-Fur-Nation - Tue 23 Dec 2014 - 02:47

Here’s another one of those “how did we miss this?” young-adult fantasy book series. Tui T. Sutherland is part of the author collective that, under the name Erin Hunter, created the Seekers and Warriors series of cat-based fantasies. In 2012 though, she returned to her own name to bring us the Wings of Fire series, beginning with The Dragonet Prophecy (published by Scholastic, Inc.) “The seven dragon tribes have been at war for generations, locked in an endless battle over an ancient, lost treasure. A secret movement called the Talons of Peace is determined to bring an end to the fighting, with the help of a prophecy — a foretelling that calls for great sacrifice. Five dragonets are collected to fulfill the prophecy, raised in a hidden cave and enlisted, against their will, to end the terrible war.” As you can well imagine, things don’t turn out as planned when the five young dragons escape. Their adventures have thus far lead us through six books in the series, and at least two more books are being written even now. Check out the first book over at Barnes & Noble.

Hey, /r/furry, I'd like some help with a story

Furry Reddit - Tue 23 Dec 2014 - 00:23

I figured I'd finally post some stories I write, and I want to start with a surrealist story. My base idea is for a wolf that dreams of a hyper modern vision of society. If you have any ideas on characters or where the story should go, I'm all (bunny)ears.

Ask my characters whatever and I'll answer in character.

Furry Reddit - Mon 22 Dec 2014 - 22:07

So, I'm bored and want a little writing practice, maybe develop my characters a bit. So here's my gallery of them. Ask whatever you want to whoever and I'll answer it in character. Maybe this'll be fun.

I dunno I kinda just need to vent.

Furry Reddit - Mon 22 Dec 2014 - 21:27

I've been really depressed lately :/ i was just a little depressed and then my beloved cat died. I really started spiraling down, and for a while i was getting better. But lately i've just felt stagnated. I've been trying to study to get a cisco certification but it's so hard to keep myself motivated. I kinda just want people to talk to i guess :/

Has anyone ordered from Bad Dragon?

Furry Reddit - Mon 22 Dec 2014 - 21:25

Just wondering their definition of firm vs soft. Can anyone compare it to something by Tantus, Feeldoe, etc? How are the ridges - do they hurt or are they soft? I'm looking into The Tentacle.

Recruiting Party Members for an RP. :3

Furry Reddit - Mon 22 Dec 2014 - 21:09

I'm trying to lead a D&D style RPG (DM [me] builds a world and sets a story, and player actions take over from there). It's kind of started, but people are more than welcome to join!

This is a text-only RP, for all those uncomfortable with mics or cameras.

Just leave your Skype username in the comments, and send a friend invite to "avorax64".
