The 10th annual Furry Weekend Furry Weekend, a furry convention held in Atlanta, kicked off Thursday, and the fuzzy festivities will last through Sunday night.

Activities at this year's Furry Weekend, themed as "Furry University," include a fur-suit parade, workshops on building a collar, a talent competition and various dance classes and dance parties.

Last year, they even had a furry Harlem Shake:

Attendance costs for the whole four-day span of the convention ranges from $45-$250, or guests can buy a one-day pass for $25-$35.

The convention is the fourth largest gathering in the world for furries, meaning people who have an "interest in anthropomorphic animals and/or mythological or imaginary creatures which possess human or superhuman capabilities," according to WikiFur, a wiki managed by the furry community.

Many furries like to dress up like their animals of choice, but some express their interest through other ways, like art or performance. While some are sexually attracted to these anthropomorphic animals, this is not the case for all furries.

This week we discuss dialogue.  Things to avoid and tips to help when writing those talking scenes.  Then we answer some questions about suspension of disbelief and describing furry characters.

Ep 19 – Dialogue - This week we discuss dialogue.  Things to avoid and tips to help when writing those talking scenes.  Then we answer some questions about suspension of disbelief and describing furry characters.

My favourite is the Sly Cooper series. The main character (a raccoon) had a huge impact on the creation of my fursona (a foxcoon).

Dear Papabear,

I've got a little bit of a problem, and I'm not sure how to go about solving it (wait, that's the point of advice columns, isn't it... oh).

I know a girl outside of the fandom that I had previously expressed romantic interest in. My sister, my father and my friends all know about this. She's a pretty close family friend, and most all my friends know her. So when word got out that I liked her, there was a total lack of surprise from everyone. That's not my problem though.

My problem arose when I met someone else. In this case, a furry who I believe meets all the criteria I'm looking for in a potential mate (or wife, if you want to use boring people terms). The issue I'm having is that I don't know how to explain this to my family or friends. My friends all act like me and the local girl are deeply in love (saying things like "so when will you ask her out"). While I really can't speak for her, I can say that I'm not completely sure that's the case for me.

I don't know whether I should try to explain my new possible love interest to them, or if I should go back to the local friend. I really wouldn't have too big of a problem being with her, but she comes from a small town family (as we all do around here), and I doubt her or her parents would approve of the furry thing. I don't really want to change who I am for someone, but at the same time, I'd love to not die alone, if you know what I mean (actually, it's a pretty straightforward saying, so I don't even know how you wouldn't know what I'm saying, if you know what I'm saying. Wait, what?).

I promise you, if I were to walk up to my dad and say "I really like someone that I've never actually met", he would go absolutely crazy. Not in a good way. In fact, he's been so negative about almost everything in my life that I've avoided telling him things about my life, just to keep him from getting angry. That's a completely different story altogether, though.

Tips?

Thanks,

Dear Anonymous,

Hon, you are 15 years old. Don’t you think that’s a little soon to be pressuring yourself to get married? And also a little young to be worried about dying alone? Goodness me! I’m not sure what species of furry you are, but you are certainly not a bear. We bears take things much more in stride, and so should you.

Also, when it comes to finding a mate, the person you should try to please is yourself: not your family, not your friends, not the townspeople’s expectations of you, but you. And, along those lines, when you do find a mate, it should be someone who accepts you for you, furriness and all.

If you are not interested (at least not to the extent of marriage) in the local girl, then the first thing you need to do is stop leading her on, stop acting like you’re going to go steady and might someday get engaged just to please the families. Second—and if you have read my column you would know this already—you need to meet the girl you are interested in in person. Please do not try to carry out a long-distance relationship unless it is feasible to actually be in the same room with the young woman with whom you are falling in love.

Too bad about your dad being unsupportive of you. Bad dad. But when it comes to love that should not be what influences you. This is YOUR life, not his, and you have to live with the choices you make.

At 15, it is easy to be intimidated by one’s father (or mother). That little factoid is what really screwed up my early life in many ways until I managed to break out of that pattern. Unfortunately, when you are still a minor, the parent has all the control, especially when it comes to money and “my rules.” If the parent is a good parent, this is not a problem (good parents love their children for who they are and only use rules as a way to try to give guidelines and boundaries that actually most children want [they might not know it, but they do] and thrive on); it’s when they are bad parents (do not accept their children if they are different from their expectations) that their power becomes a trap that most people are unable to escape until they are able to move out of the house.

I digressed a bit there, sorry. The important thing to remember is that you should love the people you want to love (as long as they are good and not hurtful people), whether or not others approve of them.

Hope that makes sense. I wish you love and happiness.

Papabear

Two years ago i was quite intertwined with this fandom. Used to hang out on a small roleplaying forum with about 30-40 people, just acting out scenes and scenarios; chatting about in a merry way. I quite loved it there, even though I'm not technically a furry myself; I was looking for a creative outlet and found one that just so happaned to be focused on anthripomorphic animals. Simple as that. The site, however, closed down two years ago; thereby severing my only connection with one of the few fandoms I actually like; and since I had no personal ties with anyone in the community, I was unable to continue interacting with it. But now two years have passed and I feel like i should try and give this fandom another try. (If only so i can whip out St. Christopher the Barkeep again...) So, I'm here to basically ask for directions, r/furry. Where do i start?

If you haven't these books are what I suppose turned me into a furry in the sense i am now. I use to read them a long long time ago in school and always got funny looks when people asked what i was reading and i showed them. I guess I'm a little obsessed. They use to be in my library but not for a long time and now I've slowly built a small collection through my local thriftshops. I guess i just wanted to see if any others had seen r heard of these books.

Ok, This is just awesome!

“Fluffle Puff has been honored to become a unique character in the game Legends of Equestria.
She’ll be roaming around along side of everyone and living her dream of screaming at horses.
Or just getting attacked by bees.”
