He's Out, Boyfriend Is Not ... Should He Do Something about It?
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year. He is in the closet and it affects how much we can communicate with each other. His major fear is that his family and friends won't accept him. I've never had problems with telling people that I'm gay. But, I can understand his fear, because we're both from very rural parts of Minnesota, and I've had my fair share of trouble.
I've come to terms with him refusing to tell his friends and family. I'm really curious as to what you think could be done to ease him to tell his parents. I love him so much, and I'll continue to sneak around like we do ... but it's not something I enjoy doing. What could I do?
Sincerely,
Sammi

Hi, Sammi,
Every person’s family is different. You may not have had too much of a problem telling your family you were gay because they were pretty understanding about it, which is very lucky for you, but your boyfriend’s family may not be so tolerant, which is why he refuses to tell them and why he is still in the closet.
Under no circumstances would I advise you to try to force him out of the closet, and especially don’t go telling people who don’t know he is gay that he’s gay. I remember when my ex did that, and it was super-embarrassing for me.
Do not coax or pressure him in any way. Let him make the decision on his own when he is ready to do so. In the meantime, just let him know that you love and support him no matter what, and if he needs to stay in the closet for a while, you will still be there for him.
Remember, they also serve who only stand and wait.
One day, inevitably, he will come out. Be patient.
Hugs,
Papabear
I've tried to get a short-but-awesome act into the MFF Furry Variety Show every year. Getting some feedback on my next act.
So. Several years back, I got sick of Midwest FurFest's Furry Variety Show greenlighting far too many long and boring acts. Instead of bitching about it (plenty of other people were doing so), I chose to instead highlight how to do a dynamite act in two minutes or less. Make it less 'Here's stage time for fursuiters to dance around to their favorite song,' and more 'THIS IS VAUDEVILLE. GET ON, BE AWESOME, GET OFF.' Become the change I wish to see in the FVS, and all that.
I'm also fond of taking old-fashioned quick-and-dirty stage acts and performing them with my own furry twist. F'rinstance, a couple years ago I did a classic Flea Circus act, complete with corny ending.
This year, my plan: Do a quick sideshow act with various stupid sideshow stunts that I've been practicing. Specifically, two: The Human Blockhead (pounding nails up my nose) and Sword-Swallowing.
Basically do the Human Blockhead with nails into my sinuses, then "YOU CAN'T SEE WELL ENOUGH FROM THE BACK ROW? THAT'S NOT FURRY ENOUGH FOR YOU?! FINE!" then do a 'Sword Swallowing' demo with a ten-inch knife through a Beanie Baby.
Any feedback?

Three free sketches
One per person, of course.
I'm in a bit of a rut and need something different to draw. Plus, I'll have sample to add to my commission samples. After the sketches, I'll pick one and give it the full treatment to for said samples.
Gallery here. Will probably look like this or this. Thanks for the read.

Animatic (story board) for Star Fox show WIP
Cute paint commercial for the lizards among us.
Testing the interst level in another subreddit.
Now as far as I know we, as furries, do not have a subreddit that deals with stories. We have three, that I know of, that deals with artwork ranging from clean to not so clean. I was wondering if I start a subreddit that deals with stories, would that be something that the community would be interested in?

FurryMUCKers, a wolf needs your help.
My name is Aldrinor,
Quite a while back in 2009, I set about exploring furryMUCK via an outdated map (which took me quite a while to get my hands on!). While exploring, I was distraught to find much of furryMUCK gone or changed.
So I set about making my own maps. >>> You see several layers of maps, a myriad of sketches, and a range of color coded routes and paths. A army of yellow post-it notes are tacked accross the pages. http://4computerheaven.com/furrymaps/ <<<
However, it has not been updated in quite a while. Not due to laziness, but due to lack of content. I have shared this map amongst the regulars and have asked them to help me keep the maps updated via pmailing me or writing in the 'Book of Origin' set within my guild hall. For the past 3-4 years, I have only gotten a single article written into that log.
So, furryMUCKers of Reddit, if you have created any public hangouts recently, please, give me a shout so I can add it to the maps.
Also, for those who are set on staying within the confines of WCoTP, you can find yourself on the lower-right of this map section >>> http://4computerheaven.com/furrymaps/central.png <<<
Thank you very much everyone!
Edit: Tport GEX, North (To get to my Guild hall)
