New Members

Welcome to our newest members Eduardo Soliz, Franklin Leo, Cadence, and Slip-Wolf!

Member News

Huskyteer recently participated in a short story reading at Kirkdale Bookshop as part of the Sydenham Arts Festival, and her story “The Wolf’s Holiday” was voted the audience’s favorite. You can read more about the evening at her blog. She also has a poem in Far Off Places, Volume II, Issue II (Sartorial), available here.

Kandrel’s Pile is now available as a digital edition from Rabbit Valley.

M. C. A. Hogarth published the children’s book Vinny the Armadillo Makes a Friend, the e-book Some Things Transcend (sequel to Even the Wingless), and the audiobook edition of “Broken Chains.”

Mary E. Lowd’s story “The Hand-Havers” appears in the October 2014 issue of Analog.

And yours truly (Renee Carter Hall) has a flash piece, “How Mother Rabbit Lost Her Name,” in Lakeside Circus. (Definitely not a children’s story.)

Guild News

Members, there’s just one week left to get your votes and nominations in for the Cóyotl Awards! Voting for the 2013 awards and nominations for the 2014 awards both end August 8. The 2013 voting form (for works published in 2012) is here, and the nomination form for 2014 (works published in 2013) is here. If you have any trouble getting to the Cóyotls website, you can also send your votes and nominations via email to coyotlawards@gmail.com. (Don’t know what to nominate from 2013? Check out our recommendations thread.)

We remain open to guest blog posts from members! See the guidelines here.

Want to hang out and talk shop with other furry writers? Come join us for the Coffeehouse Chats, Tuesday evenings from 7-8 p.m. Eastern in the forum shoutbox. (Sometimes later than 8 p.m. if we really get going!) It’s an informal way to check in with your weekly writing progress and goals.

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.

Hey furs, i realized the other day that ive been a furry for 2 years and havent even got a ref of my fursona. The problem is, im just not 18 yet so paypal is unusable and i was wondering if there was any artists that take other payment? I have a card, so i could buy like xbox points or amazon cards or something, i just really wanna get my sona drawn out.

Well, where should i start? Um, I wouldn't say i'm fully furry..I have never been to a furry meet up nor do i even have a fursuit, but i have always liked the idea. I'm not sure if i would go complete Furry though. Definitely more on the softer side of it. I have no problem with anyone who is a Furry but i unfortunately don't know anyone in it...and my best friend hates them so he doesn't know. I guess I just wanted to say hi and make some friends in the fandom. I'm a straight male and i have heard about it being pre-dominately gay but i have no set backs to that, I'm straight sorry. but i also don't have a fursona, i have always been into this since i was born but just haven't done anything about it. Thanks in advance :)
