Do any of you know where I can roleplay? Non sexual? (Maybe sexual if the other guy is good at roleplaying like myself.)

The ordinary home lives of dragons, gryphons, and mystical deer

http://io9.com/5981272/the-ordinary-home-lives-of-dragons-gryphons-and-mystical-deer

Over the last few years, photographe Tom Broadbent ad been getting to know and photographing people who participate in furry fandom, fursuits and all. His ongoing serie At Home with the Furries hows fursuited folks in ordinary settings doing ordinary things. On the one hand, his photos show the mundane side of folks who participate in the fandom, but on the other, they create fantastic scenes in which mythical creatures have to do their laundry and make their breakfast just like everyone else.

You can see many more photos from this series on Broadbent's website.

Tom Broadbent Documents All Those Furries That You See on Forums

http://www.thephoblographer.com/2013/02/04/tom-broadbent-documents-all-those-furries-that-you-see-on-forums/

If you’re used to creeping around 4Chan or Reddit, you’ll know the story about furries. For the rest of us, they’re a meme of a sort that started at a Sci-Fi con as a drawing and then went viral. At the heart, they’re personified animals–and they digg sexy time the way humans do. We’ll stop right there.

Tom Broadbent ecently did a project documenting people who cosplay as these characters, but wanted to show them doing daily everyday tasks. This is similar to the project documentin superheros during daily life hat was done previous.

Head over t Tom’s site or the best web viewing experience.

It's a surreal life, 'At Home with the Furries'

Tom Broadbent has spent the past few years photographing "Furries" — people who spend parts of their lives dressed as anthropomorphic animals — away from the confines o conventions and events. He's published his work a At Home with the Furries a series depicting furries in everyday scenes. The result is a whimsical, fantastic set of images, that plays the furries' spectacular costumes against the stark contrast of some truly mundane settings.

Dear Papabear, 

I live in the Northeast and Valentine’s Day is coming up fast. I have promised my wife a memorable Valentine’s Day filled with dinner, a hotel room for the night, and a hot tub soak..... The issue I am having now is there have been these..."surprise expenses" that I seem to run into every week I get a paycheck. For example new shoes, replacement cell, and now I am going to need to buy a new belt..... I don’t make a lot of money and what I do make usually is gone by the end of the month. so my question is this....... How do I tell her I may have to take her out for a more memorable night later in the month (or later) without getting into a big fight or crushing her hopes.... I feel so lost and confused because she means a lot to me and I don’t want to see her sad....

-lonely & confused puppy

Dear Puppy,

It’s wonderful that you care about your wife and wish to make her happy. I’m sure she’s a lovely person, and, as a lovely person, she would love you whether you were a king or a pauper. As your spouse, she must surely also be aware of your income and that things may be tight because of some added expenses. I’m guessing that if you told her honestly what happened and that you are really sorry, she would understand.

But, you actually don’t have to disappoint her at all. Here’s what you do:  

1. Make her a hand-made Valentine’s Day card. Doesn’t have to be fancy. Maybe a heart with a little lace around it and on the inside a heartfelt sentiment; 
2. Go to the grocery store and buy some of her favorite foods and, when evening comes, cook her dinner (much cheaper than dinner out); 
3. Buy her a small box of truffles (4 pieces is sufficient), and also a bottle of bubble bath soap (see below); 
4. You can purchase reasonable roses at many grocery stores and even at 7 Elevens these days; get a couple, pluck off the petals of all but one, and scatter them on your bed; get some candles and put them in the bedroom and light them; lay the one remaining rose on a pillow next to the box of chocolates; (oh, and if it needs it, give the house a good cleaning);
5. Put on your sexiest clothes, spray on some cologne; 
6. Make sure to prepare all this while she’s not around; if necessary, ask her to run an errand or two; 
7. Set out your best plates and napkins, candles, and maybe a runner on your table;
8. When she gets home, surprise her with the dinner, present her with the card and tell her, “I love you. This Valentine’s Day is all about you. I appreciate so much all the things you do for me that I wanted to try and cook for you and be at your service tonight”; 
9. After a lovely dinner during which you attend to her every need, sit on the couch for a while and give her a nice foot massage; then, take her to the bedroom (put a sign on the door, such as “Hotel Chez Furry” and it becomes your hotel room) where the candles and flowers and chocolates are prepared and.... well, let nature take it’s course (don’t forget the romantic music);
10. After some fun in the hotel room, fix her a hot bubble bath, continue to play the soft music and set candles in the bath as well. Afterwards, massage her in bed until she is ready to cuddle up and go to sleep in your loving arms....

Takes a lot of effort? Yeah, it does, but you can do all of the above for a very reasonable price while giving your wife what she really wants: your time and love and appreciation and attention. Anyone can take their wife to a restaurant and a hotel. It takes a special guy to really show his wife she is worth a bit more effort than melting a credit card.

Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!

Papabear

I've seen this more than once? People are trying to link directly to the image in question, rather than the gallery page.

Please don't.

Here's an example of a good link: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/123456789/ (Note: it won't actually go to anything, it's just for show.)

Or, you can post it as a hyperlink, like so.

This is an example of a bad link: http://d.facdn.net/art/somereallykeenartist/123456789001.reallykeenartist_help_tey_ganking_me.jpg

Why is this bad?

1. You only get the image. You don't get the comments section, or any text, or a vote/favorite button. You also don't get to know who the artist is, unless you care to decipher the URL and pull their name out of it. That's not very friendly. :(

2. It doesn't work when you first click it. Instead, you get Error 403: Forbidden That's because you're trying to access an area of the site that is reserved for content server queries. The URL, facdn.net? That stands for "FurAffinity Content Delivery Network". Sure, you can hit F5 to refresh, and it'll come up? But you're not supposed to be there in the first place.

3. Technically, you're doing a form of leeching. Because you're going directly to the image, you're bypassing the normal system that FA uses to track usage, server statistics and advertising. I'll be the first to admit that the flashing, animated ads on FA are distracting? But they are furry related. So I accept them. But if you can't bring yourself to accept the adverts, then just use AdBlock, but please make sure to link correctly? Things like server stats and bandwidth usage aren't visible to us, but they sure as Hell are visible to the owners when the monthly bills come in.

So please make sure the artists get the full exposure when you showcase them here, and link properly! I'm lazy, and don't wanna dig their names out of a link after hitting F5 over and over again.

Just my $.02.

Here is an article (dated January 28) about furries, in the Out & About Newspaper, a monthly, tabloid-sized newspaper focusing on the Nashville and Knoxville (Tennessee) GLBT communities.



The article interviews locals Joseph Jackson, Gaysian of Clarksville, and James Tipton (whose definition of a furry - "someone who identifies with having an animal soul in a human body" - is more like therianism).


Article text:

What is a furry? Being a furry is embracing an animal side, living with one or more alternate animal personas but despite embracing animal nature, it’s also about being human.

Even within furry communities there are variations to what being a furry means exactly. ”Being a furry means to have a love of anthropomorphic creatures no matter what degree of animal characteristics,” said Knoxville resident Joseph Jackson.

Gaysian of Clarksville, who has asked to use his fetish community name as opposed to his real name, identifies a furry as "embracing animal-like characteristics with behavior or physical appearance."

Nashville resident James Tipton echoed both of these explanations. “A furry is someone who identifies with having an animal soul in a human body. [They] may have a certain affinity for an animal or may be someone who wished they could be an anthropomorphic version of an animal.”

Still confused? Think of the Patronus Charm from the Harry Potter series- an animal is created from a person's individual personality to protect them.

A furry's animal identity is referred to as a fursona. While the three furries varied slightly on their definitions of a fursona, they agree it is essentially the part of themselves they relate to an animal.

Tipton uses his black wolf fursona to envision himself as a natural leader. He faces his challenges head-on. "I defend those people that are close to me -like a pack)- and help others when I can," he said.

Gaysian identifies spiritually with three animals: a black panther, a white stallion and a black dragon. He calls on each of his fursonas for different situations.

His black panther defines his every day personality. “Panthers are independent, strong-willed and at times affectionate, but should still be feared and respected,” Gaysian shared. He finds himself purring, pawing at objects like a cat, rubbing against objects to leave his scent and other cat-like behaviors.

His white stallion represents his Korean heritage. It’s a symbol of mobility, wealth and power. He said he calls on this when he needs to hold his head high; this fursona empowers him with nobility. In order to be unbiased during the interview, he said he was trying to suppress his fursonas but felt his white stallion fursona present.

In regards to his black dragon, Gaysian is still working on figuring exactly what that fursona means to him. "You have to find our own path, find your own meaning. You have to find out what comes with the spirits," he said. “Finding out a fursona can be done through many means, such as meditation, tarot, spiritual reading and physic means.”

Jackson talked more about the emotional impact of his fursona, a cat-person with milky, pearl white ears. "It's not me, by definition my fursona, my alter-ego, is everything I wish I could be."

In actuality, Jackson sees his fursona as the characteristics he has muted in order to fit in. "Other people may laugh at the fact that you talk to yourself. Others give them a name and hold onto them because sometimes they may be everything you've ever wanted to be and wanted screaming at you from the back of your head."

Gaysian said most people imagine furries to be in the big suits going to conventions to get together to have sexual relationships. Jackson attributed this perception of furries to media portrayals. None of the three furries interviewed have ever had sex in a fur suit.

"Not all furries have sex in fur suits," Tipton said. "Not all racecar fans drive Lamborghinis."

Gaysian said the conventions are for people to let themselves be as they see themselves to be, and to be around people who feel the same way. "[There is] no perverted purpose behind it. It is a chance for people to be free," he said. Tipton mentioned many furries form deep friendships with each other.

Another common misconception with being a furry is it's a way for people to legally practice bestiality. "It is more about the emotional connection as opposed to the sexual and physical one," Gaysian said.

Jackson said it’s a completely ludicrous thought that furries want to have sex with animals. He explained “Just because people want to have sex with the Playboy Bunnies doesn't mean that people want to have sex with actual rabbits,” Jackson joked. "People relate with the animal, not have sex with the actual animal." Jackson thinks it will take a long time to undo the black stain the media has painted on the furry community.

Like the others, Tipton says he enjoys women wearing furry ears and tails but he has no interest in real animals.

Ultimately for Gaysian, being a furry is just a part of who he is. "I present myself as I am and people either like it or don't like it." Now that’s one animal instinct we can all relate to.

I'm just curious because I've only ever been to furry meets and cons outside my own country.

Frankly I didn't even know what a furry was until way after highschool, and even then I spent a good few years trying to figure out what to do!

My Northern furry friends said they have met 'plenty of Auzzie furs' and I have found one or two though it was allways a short lived encounter.

I live in and around the Sydney area, and I'm Interested to go to a con next year in Melbourne. (It's Egyptian themed this time for some reason?)

I also know of FURDU, but I've never been or know what thats like.

So Im asking, what kind of web sites and places should I go to make a potiential furry friend in my own country?
