Weekly RP session?
Just gauging interest as this idea won't leave me alone. I know there's a Furry RP subreddit but it seems pretty dead and I think this could be a lot of fun! I was thinking something along the lines of a Tekken or Street Fighter type RP where we pit two (or more) furs against each other. Each fur would write a story describing how their character bests the other. The story with the most upvotes would be the victor. Winners accumulate points and the one with the most points at the end gains the title of 'Ultimate Fighter' or some such equivalent.
General ideas and rules:
- Detailed description or ref sheet of your character required
- FA account would be needed for story hosting/linking purposes
- Stories would be submitted to me and posted in a weekly voting threading
- I'd create a separate Reddit ID specifically for the RP to avoid the Karma Conspiracy
- Only upvotes count. Downvotes get ignored.
- 500-1000 words per story (basically just straight-up action that way + ease of reading)
- Characters are teleported to a central hub just before the killing blow, where they are brought back to full health for the next fight.
- No meta-powers (invincibility, invulnerability, etc.) but superpowers and weapons are very yes
- No crying over losing. No drama. It's just a game :3
- HAVE FUN!
Critiques/Opinions are very welcome. Not sure, for instance, if 500-1000 would be enough to write a decent fight scene, so that may be negotiable. I have a general background idea for the whole thing (think LoL...with ALIENS) so I think I could get this going fairly quickly if there's some interest. And hey, you never know! It might be more interesting than the weekly 'what does furry mean to you?' thread ;)

What is a furry? Now that we’re 80 episodes in, we decided it was about time to answer this question in the first of an upcoming series of how-tos and introductions to part of fandom life. What are the different ways to define the furry fandom? How did you discover it? What’s this fursona thing (more on this later)?
Also, this marks the last of the twice-weekly episodes. Beginning next week, WagzTail moves to a once-weekly update schedule, with new episodes being released on Thursday. A new venture, ChristianPaws, will begin airing on Sundays.

Toska the 'warthog' shares her story
Today's furry profile in the series being run by the NewsMail and Fraser Coast Chronicle: Toska the warthog.
EVERY day for four days we'll feature a 10-question Q&A with members of the furry community as their meet-up at the botanic gardens gets closer.
Introducing...
Toska, AKA Kelly Hampson, (BunFur special guest/staff):
1. When did you first hear about furries, and what made you join in?
I first heard about the furries in 2009.
I was browsing YouTube and found videos of people in things called fur suitsrunning around and having all kinds of fun.
By mid-2010 I had decided on my character, made myself a fur suit and was off to my first furry meet.
Since then the furry fandom has been a huge part of my life.
Kelly dressed up as "Tyler". Kelly dressed up as "Tyler".
2. Describe the adventures of a typical fur meet:
Meets can be as simple as a group of friends meeting in a park for a barbecue and a chat and as big as conventions with hundreds of attendees spanning entire weekends full off laser tag, talent shows, video game tournaments, fur suit games and dances.
It's all about getting together, socialising and having fun with your friends like any other social group.
3. What's your chosen animal, and why did you choose it above all others?
My character is a black and neon green warthog by the name of Toska.
I chose a warthog to be different and since creating Toska in 2009 I haven't come across another warthog.
4. Has the success of furry meet-ups in Bundaberg been a surprise?
As an outsider yes actually, but having seen the madness that goes on behind the scenes over the last couple of weeks there is a lot of work that goes on to ensure the success of the meets.
5. How do you source the fur suits, and are they difficult to get around in?
As I mentioned above the furry fandom is a huge part of my life, that's because I make fur suits for a living.
I have been making fursuits for three years now but officially started my business The Menagerie Costumes (TMC) in 2012.
Imagine being wrapped up head to toe in your warmest blanket.
Now imagine while in your blanket you can only see directly in front of you, no perioral vision and you can't see below your nose.
Now imagine you are also looking through thick flyscreen… that is what it is like to wear a fur suit.
It's hot and sweaty, you can't see very well, your hearing is muffled by layers of foam and fur, and your hands are trapped in bulky gloves, it is also the most fun a person can have!

6. What would your advice be to someone who was thinking of getting involved?
Jump on in! Find a local meet and go make some friends, I did it three years ago and haven't looked back since.

7. What's the age range in your group?
I personally have furry friends ranging from early teens to their 50s.
8. When did the furry culture start?
The furry fandom started in the 1980s as an offshoot from the science fiction fandom, since then it has grown into a worldwide subculture.
9. What's the most unusual animal you have seen someone suited up as?
There are a few unusual suits out there that I really like, in particular a coati, honey badger and a spider.
10. Is there a celebrity or politician you think should suit up? If so, what as?
I personally think everyone should jump in a fur suit but I would love to see Jack Black suit as a panda or maybe a tiger (refrains from going on a long winded Tenacious D based explanation).
Someone going to CaliFur just checked into my hotel I work at. They gave me some Arazona Fur Con fliers, so I put one in our brochure rack
