BunFur staff member encourages everyone to get involved

The third of the four daily furry profiles being printed in Queensland's NewsMail newspaper is about BunFur staff member Mafia.
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...
BunFur staff member Mafia (AKA Lorien Murray)
1. When did you first hear about furries, and what made you join in?
Bethany (my friend) got me into it... Showed me some stuff on YouTube and I thought - THAT LOOKS AMAZING.
So I tagged along to a meet with Bingo and had a blast!
I still remember that meet - we watched Frankenweenie and then went out for coffee.
2. Describe the adventures of a typical fur meet:
It's like hitting the town with your mates - get together and do something random.
Watch a movie, go for coffee, go the the pool, public events, all sorts of stuff.
It's all about finding friends that you'd normally never even pass in the street.
3. What's your chosen animal, and why did you choose it above all others?
I'm a MonsterPup (kind of like a dog stitched together like Frankenstein with wings, fangs, and horns).
I thought it was kooky and different, and I loved it when Bethany came up with a quick sketch of it at school once...
And it's a bit like me - a bit different, a bit random, but awesome!
4. Has the success of furry meet-ups in Bundaberg been a surprise?
I didn't go to the big one last year, and though sometimes heaps of people can't come to the monthly meets we have a blast regardless, I can't wait for Bunfur this year!
5. How do you source the fur suits, and are they difficult to get around in?
I personally don't have one yet - a quality suit is expensive (about $2000) ordered from a manufacturer or sometimes they're homemade, and I don't have the money for one at the moment, but I do know they're extremely hot and bulky, but also a heap of fun.
6. What would your advice be to someone who was thinking of getting involved?
Just come along! Even if you're prejudiced against us for some reason - you'll have a blast anyway!
7. What's the age range in your group?
Youngest at the monthly meets is only about nine (I think) and the ages go right up from there.
8. When did the furry culture start?
The furry fandom became big in the mid to late 80s, as a sci-fi spinoff, and became popular worldwide from there.
9. What's the most unusual animal you have seen someone suited up as?
I went to a pop-culture convention last year, and there were some crazy ones there form all sorts of movies and shows - it's hard to pick!
10. Is there a celebrity or politician you think should suit up? If so, what as?
I think everyone should have a go in a suit, no matter who they are. Come join in the awesomness!
Does anyone play Neopets?
A friend of mine who is a rather talented artist, is looking for commissions to help her be able to afford a computer she needs, if anyone is looking for some drawings done, you might want to try her.
TigerTails Radio Season 7 Episode 28

If this was the BBC, we might have just been able to call Episode 28 "The One Show". While there was no RolePlay Talk this week due to none having taken place, the cast instead managed to more than make up for it with talk about the XBox One Reveal. Oh yes, this is one hotly contested debate -- and for once TK doesn't go all super Playstation fanboy. For once! Starring TK, Xavier, and Felis -- with some Hedgie in the background. Backing music by Sanxion7. From: TigerTails Radio Views: 10





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 ;)
