Review: ‘The Singing Tree’/'The White Fox’, by Brian Parvin

Furry News Network - Sat 2 Mar 2013 - 06:25
Author: Fred It is mostly forgotten today, but when The Singing Tree was published in England in the mid-Eighties, especially in its American paperback edition as The White Fox, early Furry fans told each other, “You’ve got to read this!” When the first Furry specialty publishers emerged at the end of the 1990s, some of [...]

Web Host Shutting Down

TigerTails Radio - Sat 2 Mar 2013 - 05:37

Well, I've just seen some very annoying news.  Our lovely web host Posterous will be closing down at the end of April to concentrate on suckling the lactating tit that is Twitter.  The warning signs were there - it was a big banner saying "We've been bought by Twitter" some months ago.  That, and the CEO of Posterous is now a Twitter Product Manager who obviously can't find the time to keep this product going.  I can speculate lots of between-the-lines reasons why Posterous is closing, but that doesn't help.

What this means is that the TigerTails Radio website will be down at some point in the near future, for an unknown length of time.  Might be a day or so, might be longer.  Depends on how long it takes me to find a replacement service or learn how to use WordPress.

If the site is due to be down during showtime, our social media (Facebook, Google+, and Twitter) pages will have all the connection info, though I'm half tempted to dig the old TTR site out of retirement (it's mothballed at the moment, so I can easily revert to it) while the changes take effect.  We shall see.

I'll post more info as and when I can.

Gina and her Friends Turn 200

In-Fur-Nation - Sat 2 Mar 2013 - 01:35

For 22 years, more than 5000 pages, and now 200 issues, Gold Digger has been written, drawn, colored, and lettered by one person: Fred Perry. Now Antarctic Press is celebrating the 200th issue of Gold Digger with the Gold Digger 200 Series Special. “Gina heads off on a dangerous expedition to a lost Mayan temple on Monster Island, and this one time, everyone’s available to come help out. For the first time, Gina embarks on an expedition with an army of experts to assist, and she’s going to need every one of them to help with what she faces!” Among the extras included in this issue is the location of a special web site where the previous 199 issues are available for free. Watch an interview with Fred Perry on YouTube discussing the issue, or you can pre-order it at Things From Another World. Everyone else can look for the issue in late April.

Should She Give in to Mate's Pressure to Be a Furry?

Ask Papabear - Fri 1 Mar 2013 - 14:42
Dear Papabear,

First off, I would like to say I am not a furry, With this I see nothing wrong with furs, in fact I love all furs, most my friends are furs, and I'm pretty much surrounded, I love it; it makes me happy, Even my mate is a fur, A wonderful handsome lion, I truly love him, when he first met he knew I was not a fur, and he seemed fine with it, But he slowly started pushing the issue that I should find a fursona, I tired my hand at it, but nothing seemed right, Just nothing seemed to fit, But he always pushed it more and more, and now I'm scared that if I do not find a fursona, even if I have to fake it, That I will lose him, 

What should I do ?

Stuck out in the cold with no fur

Sally’May

* * *

Dear Sally’May,

When the modern furry fandom began back in the early 1980s or so, it was simply about people who liked stories featuring anthropomorphized animal characters—a sort of subgenre of sci-fi and fantasy. Over the years it has come to mean a lot more. Most furries these days, however, see it as much more than that. Not all furries have fursonas, but most do and many (not all) feel it is part of being a furry.

So, not all furries have fursonas, and your question makes me think of the novel notion: perhaps a nonfurry could have a fursona. Interesting idea. And so, even though you aren’t a furry and can’t really connect with a fursona, you could do so to please your mate.

But why should you? As you said, your mate knew who and what you were when you got together. If you both love each other, you should accept each other as you are. It is certainly possible for a furry and a nonfurry to be mates. My husbear is not a furry, but he thinks furries are cool. I don’t demand he become a furry or pick a fursona. On the other hand, he loves going to furcons with me and watching me in parades and such in my fursuit.

Your mate is probably pushing you to be more of a fur because he wants to share his life with you and that seems more doable if you’re a furry, too. You need him to understand that that is not essential for a loving relationship.

Let’s turn this around. Do you have some interests that are unique to you that he doesn’t participate in? Just for instance, say you are a football fan—would he go to a football game with you? If you were a Packers fan and he wasn’t, would you force him to wear cheese on his head and tell him that you don’t love him unless he does so? I would hope not.

Likewise, he shouldn’t force things on you. The two of you must have things in common or you wouldn’t be together. It’s actually a good thing that you don’t share every quality—if you did, it would be like dating yourself. Viva la difference!

Your mate needs to respect that you are different and appreciate that you love him the way he is and enjoy being with furries even if you aren’t one. You need to ask him to love you as you are and not try and change you. If he doesn’t respect that, then I’m afraid you have a problem. On the other paw, he might not realize he’s been pressuring you, and if you point it out to him, he might apologize and back off.

If you are a good judge of character and have built a loving relationship with a cool lion, then you have no reason to fear explaining to him how you feel. If he is not the lion you think he is, better to find out now than years from now.

Good luck, I hope it works out for you!
