(Photo caption: Furries at the Park on June 16 will feature appearances by "Alex the Lion" and "King Julian" from the Madagascar movies.)

Here is an article in the NewsMail about this weekend's BunFur convention in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia:

http://www.news-mail.com.au/news/furries-plan-big-day-out/1906792/

IF YOU go down to the Botanic Gardens on Sunday be prepared for a big surprise as members of the Furries gather for the second annual day out in the park.

Event organiser Hayden Grant, aka Bingo Fox, said he had been overwhelmed with the positive reaction to the event, with furries from Brisbane, Sydney and even as far away as Kalgoorlie in Western Australia registering to take part.

It's been surprising, I've been overwhelmed really," he said.

Mr Grant said holding the day outside in a community venue could be the appeal of the event.

"Often Furries events are held indoors so we've made it a bit different," he said.

Don't miss the chance to see the Furries from 10am-2pm, check out the costumes, take photos and enjoy the day out.

Dear Papa Bear,

I admit, I'm not used to admitting I need help with problems, but this one is really cutting me down.... Yo because I'm really nice and caring, or try to be, and I'm a good roleplayer.. The problem is with two of my furry family members: my dad, Macintosh, and my adoptive son, Jay. (I changed their names a bit. Poorly, but I did.)  My son knew my dad before he met me, and they did something horrible to each other. My son is willing to forgive my dad for the argument he started over a misconception. But Mac is very mad at him, and he gave me an ultimatum: Choose between my son or my furry dad and brothers. This is a tough decision for me. Really tough. I need some help. Please tell me what you think....

Sincerely,
Kyoto

Hi, Kyoto,

First off, it is extremely unfair for Mac to put you in this position. He’s doing so to gain you as an ally and “win” his fight against Jay. For a “dad” he is acting very immaturely. Secondly, according to your letter, this shouldn’t even be a real issue between Mac and Jay because it is all based upon a “misconception,” not an actual wrong done by one to the other.

If Mac doesn’t already comprehend this, you should explain to him that he is angry about nothing and should calm down. If he refuses, then the wise thing to say is something along these lines: “You know I love and care about you both, Mac, but don’t put this on me. I refuse to take sides and validate your anger. If you hate Jay and then hate me for not hating Jay, then YOU are making that choice, not me. I refuse to be sucked into your misguided attempt at emotional extortion. I hope you will change your mind.”

Make this about Mac’s decision. It is not your decision.

Hugs,

Papabear

What’s your fursona? If you’ve been in the fandom for a while you could probably list off most every detail of the character you designed. But what if you’re new and don’t have a fursona to represent yourself? Do you even need one? Where do you start? Those questions (and some more!) get answered in this episode.

After you’re done listening, why not tell us what your fursona’s history is in the comment field down below, we love hearing from you!

Hey everyone! I'm a fulltime freelance artist who wants to streamline some of my business practices, and I need your help! I made a survey to get some general feedback from the community; it's only 8 questions long and should take 5 minutes max, and if you fill it out and enter your e-mail address you'll get a chance at some free art! :D

There are no requirements what-so-ever! Besides existing, that is. I'm asking about your GENERAL commission experience with any artist you've ever worked with, and even if you've never commissioned anyone you can still fill out the form with what you'd expect you'd do in those particular situations. It's also completely anonymous! So there really is no reason not to fill it out. :)

Survey here: http://tinyurl.com/WWCFS

And, of course, here is my FA so you can see if free art from me is something you're interested in: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/rikkoshaye/

At the end of the month I'm going to pick someone via random number generator and they will get a free artistic freedom commission, no strings attached. :) (Well, besides filling out the form that is.) XD Please feel free to tell your friends! All of this will go to helping me become a better artist for all of you, and I even plan on sharing the results of the multiple choice sections so that everyone can benefit. :)

Thank you guys, and good luck! Let me know if you have any questions or if I can improve the survey in any way. :)

I have wanted to make one for quite some time now. The thing is I can't quite decide which animal to choose. I want to make one that really symbolizes me but I just can't decide. Could I get some help?

So, there obviously is an elephant in this room.

Opinions, ideas, work you made yourself for science ?

Also, this is a throwaway. Nobody can know I'm a furry, at least not where I live right now. (too weird for the neighbors, I suppose)

On the subject of porn, do any of you connoisseurs have any idea where I can find a certain work?

Please dont judge me I deserve this.

Also, je suis un chien.

I've been a part of the fandom for a number of years now, but in all my time I honestly cannot say I do not understand the attraction of roleplay. Text-based roleplay to be more precise. Whether casual, sexual, 'story driven', or otherwise, I just don't get it. What is so amazingly tantalizing about it that nearly every fur does it? I understand that the fandom sometimes works as an outlet for a lot more childish behavior (as well as sexual fantasies), but aside from babyfurs and the sort, I've always seen roleplay as one of the most juvenile parts of the fandom. Not only that, but it seems to also be one of the biggest ways for a lot of furries to get their rocks off. So what is it that I'm missing?
