Author: Fred Once again, I owe thanks to Lex Nakashima for ordering this from France and loaning it to me to write this review for Flayrah. Joann Sfar is probably best-known in the furry community as the author of Le Chat du Rabbin/The Rabbi’s Cat (art by Antoine Delesvaux); the 2003-2006 five-album bandes dessinés, and […]

To start off I have always been fascinated by the Furry community, though my fascination never continues past making cute looking animal-ladies on the chat client IMVU. (Never actually chatted on it, tbh. Only used the store preview function...)

Over the years I've become more and more interested after seeing a rise in fursuits on conventions and cosplay forums etc.

Now my main question is, what do I need to know about this community? Any do's and dont's? Anything that I could encounter that might be more than what I bargained for?

Basically, I need as much information as you guys can give me because from the surface all it looks like is cute drawings of animals with humanly characteristics.

Thank you in advance <3

1. Tell us about your most recent project (written or published). What inspired it?

Currently, I’m working on a sequel to my novel Camp Mana. I love the main character, and I wanted to explore that world a bit more.

2. What’s your writing process like? Are you a “pantser,” an outliner, or something in between?

Hoo boy, my writing process. I start off with an idea and doodle outward from there. I don’t always have a clear idea for how things will turn out, but I usually have a general idea of where things will end up. Of course, once I get going, the story often has ideas of its own.

3. What’s your favorite kind of story to write?

Speculative fiction, things that deal with the Big Questions. The first story I ever got published (“And the Sea Full of Stars”) was one.

4. Which character from your work do you most identify with, and why?

Serra Sinclair, the protagonist from my novel Camp Mana. Despite living in a world where she’s significantly out-gunned, she manages to not only survive but thrive. She taught me that bravery isn’t so much about not being afraid as it is being terrified, but doing the right thing anyway.

5. Which authors or books have most influenced your work?

Wow, probably too many to list here. Neil Gaiman, Jim Butcher, Charles de Lint, Scott Lynch, Kevin Hearne, Stephen King, H. P. Lovecraft, just to name a few. I loved the Harry Potter series (I grew up with it!) and The Lord of the Rings, and I read Jurassic Park over a dozen times before I reached High School. I have to give a nod to the Animorphs series as well.

6. What’s the last book you read that you really loved?

The Dragons of Babel by Michael Swanwick. It’s a deconstruction of the whole “reclaiming your throne” trope set in a steampunk faerie realm. And it’s a wild, crass, and sublime ride from beginning to end.

7. Besides writing, how do you like to spend your free time?

Reading, mostly. Although I’ll probably vanish for a couple of months when the new Dragon Age game comes out.

8. Advice for other writers?

Read. Read. Read. And when you aren’t reading, write. There’s no trick, no gimmick to this art. Like every other art, it requires practice and an eye for detail. People talk about “show, don’t tell” and “kill your darlings,” but it’s all meaningless drivel unless you’ve got a feel for how a good story is supposed to flow. And the only way to get that feel is to practice. And once you’ve developed that feeling, you’ll know when you are showing instead of telling, and which darlings are due to be culled.

9. Where can readers find your work?

You’ll find me on FA here: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/searskagreyraven/
And my other work here: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/SearskaGreyRaven

10. What’s your favorite thing about the furry fandom?

This fandom is probably the most inclusive I’ve ever found. Gay, straight, white, black, rich, poor, transgendered-asexual-lupine-that-identifies-as-a-mocha-frappuccino, it doesn’t matter. Drama comes and goes. It doesn’t fester the way it does in other lifestyles/fandoms.

Hey all,

I've just recently gotten back into all of this, and I was wondering where I might look for someone willing to comission a 500x500 drawing of my fursona for me, for the purpose of a steam profile picture.

I don't know anyone who can draw furry stuff, and I don't know where to ask on the internet.

Thanks.

So I got bored as crap and decided to research the furry community. As you may be well aware, the majority of the internet portrays your community as odd sexual deviants; Weirdos who, at all costs, should be avoided because all you think about is having sex with adorable little kittens (how disturbing)...However, it is my understanding that this is not so. Lemme know if I hit the nail on the head here, and correct me if I'm wrong...

Furries are just like any other roleplaying genre. The only difference is, unlike most RP communities, you are not limited to a specific character set or storyline (ie. Anime, Harry Potter, etc). I've found that there is MUCH more freedom for creativity in the furry community, which is the whole reason RP is fun in the first place. Whether you walk on 2 legs or 4, have feathers or fur, have brown fur or even pink, you are accepted as a furry so long as you are at least PART of an animal of some sort.

And because it's so easy to create a "fursona" (I'd never even heard of that before an hour ago) that is uniquely yours, I can see why people get so attached. We are all individual human beings. We have personalities, traits and preferences specific to us. You fursona is an extention of who you are as a person. For instance, I imagine a wolf being very quiet, observant and wise. Whereas a puppy might be bubbly, playful and sorta ditsy.

I RPed a lot in High School (way back when MySpace was still hip), and I loved it. All my friends got involved, and it was one of those things where we could show off who we were and how we think and what we're in to.

So I say ALL that to ask you this...How the HELL do I decide what animal I should be? >:|

Seriously! How do you do it?! I know it should reflect your personality, sorta. I was thinking a squirrel, but I'm not that fidgety. Maybe a bunny?...Here's some facts about me:

• I'm pretty ditsy
• I'm very loyal to my friends and kind to others in general
• I get VERY defensive and tend to make excuses
• I'm pretty lazy in general
• I don't often try new things
• I'm scared of bugs...and death
• I like to sing and draw and I'm a pretty good writer, too.
• I wish I was more outgoing and able to express myself better without being all awkward.
• I'm not very funny, but I find most things hilarious

...Whatcha think? I'm not into reptiles or avians, I think. So just...y'know...keep that in mind.
