A Gift of Fire, A Gift of Blood (furry novella)
Cam someone explain this?
So, I can't remember how I got to this site or anything but I found this: http://pastebin.com/4Q5f4gVU. Now, from what I can tell, it's a list of all the furry comics, comics, artists ext. but I don't know if it's just a list or if it's a part to a greater download. Does anyone know what it is?!

13-Year-Old Furry with Unsympathetic Father Feels Isolated
I’m a very young furry doing art secretly. I have been a furry for about 2 years now. My father is the type of guy who makes fun of things that are strange. If you tell him something, he gives you 1 answer and leaves it at that. He gets mad easily. I feel lonesome (hence the name lone owl) and I would like to get more involved, but without them knowing, and absolutely no furries live by me. I recently heard about your site and thought you could help me. I watch videos on the Internet, but still feel like this is missing in my life. Please help me.
Sincerely,
Lone Owl

Dear Owl,
Welcome to the furry fandom, hon. It can be very tough to be a furry, especially when you’re underage and living with parents who don’t understand anything that is beyond the accepted norm. My sympathies. Plus, you’re apparently living in an area that is a bit isolated.
One of the wonderful things about modern life is the Internet, which is how I discovered furries and made a lot of friends. But it is also frustrating because so many of those friends are far away and sometimes I never see them in person. Okay, so here are some tips that may help:
1) The Internet is your lifeline to the fandom, so guard your Web privileges carefully. I hate saying this, especially since I just wrote a letter about being honest with one’s parents, but if your father, especially, is going to freak about furries, you’re going to have to conceal your browsing behavior. At your age, I hope you are not getting into the kink of furry. Be VERY wary of that. Keep it clean at all costs. After looking at furry sites, delete your history and your cookies. I really hate that you have to do this, but this isn’t about you doing something criminal; this is about you being who you are in a household that sounds like it would promptly reject and oppress you. So be careful.
2) Since you can’t go to a furcon or furmeet, especially since you’re too young to even drive, you can try and create the furry experience via virtual worlds. If you haven’t discovered it already, go to SecondLife.com. An entire virtual world awaits you there. You can create a fursona there and there are many parts of SecondLife that are places for furries to hang out. You could also have a lot of fun with The Furry Gaming Alliance (http://furrygamingalliance.com/).
3) Modern technology has brought us the wonders of videochat programs like Skype, which is free to use if both people have a copy. IM software like Yahoo!IM also has video chat. It’s the next best thing to being there.
4) Your story is one of many reasons why I and others are working on founding the American Furry Association, which will be a national advocacy group for furries. One committee is being devoted entirely to young and new furries who need help navigating the fandom and getting connected to it. You can learn more at www.americanfurryassociation.org. We’re still in the planning stages, but I am hoping to get it launched later this year.
Right now, Owl, you are a bit too young to forge out on your own and get personally connected with furries, but happily you have the Internet, a useful tool that can help you a lot. Guard your surfing privileges well.
In the meantime, launch an education program for your father to slowly get him used to the idea of furry. Surround yourself with G-rated furry stuff, such as Disney and Warner Bros. cartoons and books like Watership Down and the Redwall tales of Brian Jacques. This is to get your father more comfortable with anthropomorphic fiction and art, a process that could take years, but you have lots of time right now as you’re not going anywhere.
Hope these suggestions help. And, if you feel lonely again, feel free to drop Papabear an email.
Hugs,
Papabear

A book that helped me find Furry fandom in the early 90's
Oooh, nice cover... http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/images/3/30/CTHS1992.jpg
Guess what 14-year-old me did when I saw that. :)
... I had to draw it better. Pretty soon I found out there was such a thing as "furries"... what an awesome find in the 90's.

Been working with markers. What do you think?
Do you fit inside of us?
Omg!!! Were you thinking that means sexual things? Well welcome to DailyFurBlog your new place to be employed … well that is if you want to take the job! We are looking for a few good writers to take on the task of making posts to the site and giving the site a boost. So if you want some $$ in your virtual box or whatever you might spend it on (I can only imagine for furries) then see the details below here:
Please sent e-mail to Syler@dailyfurblog.com for submittions and here is your topic:
“FA gets re-made into a newer version and it’s amazing!! Everyone is a fan, but there is still some flaws.” You can use the beta site if you need a visual thing to help you along the way!
All posts for this thing, must be done by April 18th! Good luck!
Training will be required after this date and will happen on the employes discretion.

A day earlier than usual you say? Well that’s because we’re changing our recording schedule! Due to relocation and the great strain it would put on cast members to be in attendance every week, we’re backing down to every other week. We’ll record Wednesday nights two weeks apart, giving you all extra time to write in! Sorry for the inconvenience, but it’s the best solution we can come up with to make sure everyone can still attend.
Speaking of, we were minus a Halfwit for this show as she was not at all well. We wish her a speedy recovery and miss her lots.
Anyway, we dive right in this week with Kyo talking about all of the drag contests, drawings, and such that he’s won, as well as converting someone to the way of the dragulator. Smokey goes on WAY too long about how much the noob he’s training isn’t going to work out and how much he would like to strangle him. Isty discusses the move he’s undergone as well as the problem of getting a full time job near his new place of residence. We wish him the best of luck in his endeavors, the best of luck to Kyo with his drag projects, and Smokey when he finally snaps and strangles the new guy with a mouse cord.
There were only three emails for this show, so we were able to focus rather nicely on them. The first discussed the writer’s friend seriously considering a rather drastic move (to New Zealand from the United States) and how to deal with this. The second talked about how another fur deals with stress. He mentions his struggle with depression (don’t cut yourself anymore dude! We like our listeners alive and not needing medical care!) by way of music and his pet lizard. The third is from long-time listener and writer, Marcus Nobel who updates us on his job situation as well as reporting on Fur The More.
Whacky shenanigans abound and yet we managed to squeeze this into just over an hour. There were some difficulties what with the new recording location but those should be ironed out in due course.
Next show’s topic will be “Somebody should really say something, so just say it already”. You know those times where you just know someone needs to step up and have the guts to say something about someone or a situation? Yeah, that’s what this is all about. Tell us about the times where you’ve wished you could have said something, or when you actually did. Are you looking for help in how to approach such a situation so you can work up the courage to be the one to speak up? Let us know! If you want your emails to remain anonymous, we can accommodate. Let us know at the start of the message and we will redact any information you request.
Remember, you have two weeks before the next show. That’s plenty of time! Write on in so we can help you out! Let us know what you think of the show! Changes are coming! Stick around!
Also, you might have noticed a couple of bleeps in there. If you can guess what it is we bleeped, you win a prize!*
*you don’t actually get a prize, sorry, budget issues.

Something I drew for an old friend of mine. I really love dingo's, but this character design takes the cake.
I drew my fursona today! (I'm still pretty new to this, so sorry if its not perfect.) I haven't come up with a name for her...so any suggestions would be highly appreciated! I hope you like it!
Got an awesome shirt from my T-Shirt exchange!
What fursuit makers or fursuit head styles would best fit with my art style?
I would really like to either buy or make my own fursuits and I'd really like the characters to look how I actually draw them. I haven't been drawing in a while, but my art style is sorta really toony. But, I don't want the fursuit to look too toony.
So, I'd just like suggestions on any fursuit makers or fursuit head styles that would best fit my art style.
