I've been a closet-fur for a year or so now, and have mostly been a quiet observer of furries with interests both non-sexual and sexual.

It's weird to me that, when people bring up the idea of furries as a sexual thing, many furs are quick to deny or downplay it. In my experience, the most normal furs are the ones who regard it as a weird fetish they have, then go about living their life as normal.

I know this is an unpopular opinion on this sub, but I'm being honest here: the ones who regard it as a way of life are the ones who freak people out the most. I've talked with a few close friends about this sort of thing too, and most of them agreed that if, for example, people went around in bondage gear to bondage conventions that would be weird, but just having the occasional bondage session isn't as bizarre.

So I guess my point is, why do people try to act like it's not sexual? It's really a lot easier to explain to someone, "oh, yeah, it's just a silly fetish I have, nbd" than, "the furry fandom is a big part of my life and how I live it".

Hello, Papabear! 

I need some relationship help, Ive been with this girl who isn't in the Fandom I have tried to introduce her but it just didn't appeal to her for the most part. The main issue is the fact that every date we go on she doesn't seem to be amused in any shape or form even the dates that she herself planned out.

I stayed the night at her dorm room when we both were still in college and instead of saying "Good Night" or "Sleep Well" I got "You know if my Dad seen you sleeping there, he most likely kill you." (I was sleeping on the couch in the living room she was in her own room that has a locked door.) I didn't sleep well at all that night and ended up passing out in class, Every date, any conversation always ends up talking about her dad or her family. I try and move the topic onto her or even me, but it always ends up back on that.

I guess what I am getting at is I want to break up with her, but I am not sure how to go about it> The spark that was there when we first met and within the first few months has all but died out and I want to try and not hurt her feelings and maybe still be friends with her. 

This is my first real relationship. Most of my past ones have ended with my mate cheating on me and that's an easy breakup right there, so I had it easy until now. 

Did I make a mistake of trying to date someone out of the Fandom and thinking I can try and introduce them to it?

Thank you for your time,

Arctickitsu (age 24)

Dear Arctickitsu,

No, the mistake is not that you dated outside the fandom (I did, and have been in a nine-year relationship with a non-furry). Nor is it with trying to introduce her to the fandom (again, I told my mate I was a furry and have taken him to cons; although he’s not a furry, he enjoys the experience). It’s simply the mistake of not being with the right person, furry or not. Frankly, based on what you’ve told me here, I have to wonder what the appeal is with this woman, and I don’t blame you at all for not feeling a spark anymore. I mean, pardon me, but yuck. Did she really say, “You know if my Dad seen you sleeping there, he most likely kill you”? Is English even her first language? I have many foreign friends who speak better than this.

She’s already given you an easy out that you can use as an excuse. Here’s your line: “I really don’t want to be killed by your father, and you seem pretty uncomfortable with this relationship, so I think it would be better if we were just friends.”

I honestly don’t think she’ll protest. In fact, Papabear strongly suspects that she is looking for a way out of this relationship, too. So give it to her, and better luck next time!

Papabear

I haven't mucked about with this for quite some time. But this exists yeah? why am I the only one there? o.0

And if you’ve got something you need a beta for, we have a critique board in our forum (you’ll need to be registered with the forum in order to view it).

That’s all for this month. As always, send an email to furwritersguild (at) gmail.com with news, suggestions, and other feedback, or just comment here.

One last question…

Between Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Guardians of the Galaxy, it’s been a decent summer so far for fans of anthro characters. Who’s your favorite anthro movie character of all time? (Okay, you can list a top 5 if you can’t narrow it down to one!)

 

I got my first commission a week ago, and even though it's not for a furry drawing, it's for another fur so that's why I'm posting here :P

What do you think is a fair price for a digital painting like this? http://puu.sh/azZBp/32f330f281.jpg

I was thinking about buying an adspace on FA as I'm open for commissions and would like to put my name out there more but wasn't totally sure if it'd be worth it? I'm also sort of lost when it comes to what I should put up for a banner. I always see people with flashing/animated banners but I have no idea where to begin with that.

Has anyone bought/created an ad for FA before?

*Edited: In case anyone was curious about my art I have a gallery on FA: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/thegreatgrog/

We’ll let Lyla Warren tell it herself: ” Recently relocated to Portland (from San Francisco via Denver) Lyla Warren is a self-taught freelance artist. Her education was forged by late nights in the halls of the animation industry and by wonderful mentors. Through her career, she’s worked for a variety of clients such as Disney, Cartoon Network, Sony, Mattel, Zynga, Laika, and Leap Frog, to name a few. These days she is focused on sculpture, character design and personal art work.” And what sculpture! Her leaping-out-of-the frame 3D pictures of various Disney and Pixar characters have been featured at the Disneyland Wonderground Gallery, and her other works have drawn from many sources. She even found time to create her own 2D animated short film, Beaver vs. Platypus, as well as shorts for the Happy Tree Friends series. Take a look at her web site to see all that and more.
