I'm looking for someone to commission fursuit feet paws and hand paws...

Furry Reddit - Mon 26 May 2014 - 16:08

I'm making a fursuit, however every fursuit before this that I've made has been 'meh' in the paw department.

I'm hoping to find a fellow redditor that I can do a commission/trade with for a set of hand paws and feet paws.

If there is anyone who can (or you know who can) trade this for $20 on PayPal and ~$80 of commissions from me, let me know c:

Hosting the most epic furry party ever, need help for programming!

Furry Reddit - Mon 26 May 2014 - 14:39

Heya folksies,

I'm turning 30 next year so of course that means I again have a reason to throw a party and invite everyone to parttyyyyyy!

Going to rent a private island, have an open bar, nice food, you know the deal. There's a sauna, lots of room to goof around in suits/kigus etc.

But the problem is, what would be amazing furry (or non furry) activities to do? I'm going to rent the biggest bounce house I can find, but otherwise I'm out of ideas!

Looking for a GM for a adventure trough kik

Furry Reddit - Mon 26 May 2014 - 12:45

Hi fellows furs, me and a friend are looking for a RPG master (with experience would be good but is not mandatory) to try and make an adult adventure for me, her and some more fellows furs (later players). We want it to be hosted in kik (since mobility, stability and both me and she can be on there almost all day) and it doesnt need to have a system (d&d, GURPS, Storyteller, and others, just a simple little one).

What we are wanting is an adventure that occurs in the acient japan, with gods, onis (demons), heroes and more. We have some more things that need to be discussed with the GM.

You can find my in kik by vulpih, you can pm me here for more informations or you can answer here too. Also, no players requests right now, at the moment looking for a GM, later, when we have a GM, we open for some more players.

Who's your favorite fursuit maker?

Furry Reddit - Mon 26 May 2014 - 12:20

This probably exists already but which fursuit maker(s) do you like the most and why? This can refer to price, style, efficiency, etc. I'd just like to see community favorites! (This probably is more suited for the fursuit subreddit but idk)

What's Wrong with a Furry Dating Site?

Ask Papabear - Mon 26 May 2014 - 11:44
Dear Papabear,

Hello. In recent times I've seen a furry dating service who also has an advertisement on your site and was worried that this kind of thing might put out an odd light for people who don't know the furry fandom very well. I guess it's kind of a silly fear, but I just had to ask somebody who may [have] a little bit more of a level headed point of view on this. Well, anyway, in closing, thank you for taking the time to read my message to you. I look forward to your reply.

Zapper

Hi, Zapper,

I assume you mean FurryMate, which does, indeed, have an ad on my site. I’m curious why you feel this is sending a bad message out about the furry fandom. In recent years, a lot of specialty dating sites have cropped up after the success of more generic dating sites, such as eHarmony. There are dating sites that specialize in ethnic, religious, and even age and sexual orientation preferences. Why shouldn’t there also be some dating sites specific to furries?

I would actually like to hear from any of my readers who have used a furry dating site like FurryMate. Tell me about your experiences with them!

Wishing Y’all Love and Happiness,

Papabear

German furries of Reddit, do you essen or fressen?

Furry Reddit - Mon 26 May 2014 - 11:42

I posed this question some time ago to AskReddit but I didn't get much of a response. This is really a question about language at its heart. I want to know if someone who identifies as a furry describes him/herself using language typically reserved for animals.

I understand that the German "fressen" can carry a negative connotation when used to describe human behavior, and I wonder if someone's furry-ness can override that connotation.

Whammet-dudging with Matlock

FurStarter - Mon 26 May 2014 - 09:59

matlocklogoA young wizard’s quest for an ancient and elusive magical artifact takes him on a deadly adventure, full of strange creatures and stranger vocabulary…

Matlock the Hare: The Puzzle of the Tillan Wand

Kickstarter ending 6/24/14

matlock3I’m going to start by saying that I really like this project. It’s got great artwork, that hare’s got charisma, and there’s some good worldbuilding.

So I’m going to besecond myself–oh god, they’ve got me doing it now–by adding Dorothy Parker’s immortal lines from her review of the classic children’s book, “House at Pooh Corner”:

“And it is that word ‘hummy,’ my darlings, that marks the first place in The House at Pooh Corner at which Tonstant Weader fwowed up.”

There. It’s been said, and it’s been said about a classic. Now I can let it go and embrace the hare.

matlock2Matlock, should you choose to meet him, is the magical hero of Phil and Jacqui Lovesey’s “Matlock the Hare” book series. He’s an up-and-coming wizardly fellow in green robes, in a world chock full of quirky critters, strange locales, and singing ambulatory mushrooms. In his first full-length book, Riddle of the Trefflepugga Path, his quest takes him along a winding, self-aware road to save the little world of Winchett Dale. It’s a weighty 400 pages of fun, with whimsical illustrations…and a glossary.

Um, about that glossary.

There is a proud tradition among YA authors of hand-crafting words. Mr. Carroll added “chortle” and “vorpal” to our lexicon, and had dozens of others that didn’t make the cut. And Mme. Rowling was no slouch for peppering her world with choice little syllable strings.  Dr. Seuss gave us the word “nerd.” So, let the authors flood the land with neologisms…just…keep it legible, okay?

“Guzzword - n. The saztaculous and peffacrumlush nectar of the dale. Much imbibed by us all, especially when feasting. A home supply is essential during peffa-long winter months…” –The glossary of “Dalespeak”

This may be particular whipping horse of mine, I have a weak stomach for cute. And for kids’ literature, a playful approach to language really is great for not only sparking interest, but interest in the language itself. Digging into those colorful, silly words is like eating a mouth full of “Pop Rocks.” Maybe it’s a British thing in particular. Hey, English was their idea in the first place, they can dicker with it if they like.

What really drew me in, though, was the artwork, with its graceful curves, bright eyes, and amazingly baroque smiles. I’m reminded of Toni Diterlizzi’s old twisty-curly style, maybe a little more cartoony, but no complaints. The characters are perfect, glowing and strange. Their occasional appearances in stop-motion are just as pretty.

matlock1As for the kickstarter, it’s only day two and they’re about halfway to goal, which is great–this is Matlock’s second full-length book, but he’s a character with a fanbase and history, established through little readers and art projects.  I expect the Loveseys will be gallaphumping their way to a third book in the future, but 500 (!) pages of Matlock will have to keep their fans peffa-content for another year or two.

Furry funerals?

Furry Reddit - Mon 26 May 2014 - 03:25

Fursuiters, or those who want to be: If you died, would you want to be buried in your fursuit? Would you want your friends to attend your funeral in theirs? If a freind wanted it, would you attend their funeral in your fursuit?
