what exactly is a furry?

Furry Reddit - Mon 28 Jan 2013 - 01:32

I'm just curious. Going into freshmen year I got really Into werewolves and shapeshifting. I talked this one guy who said he was a furry so I assumed it was the same thing that I believed in. Anyways I just want to know what a furry does I guess.

Kyell Gold Withdraws From Ursa Majors

Weasel Wordsmith - Sun 27 Jan 2013 - 20:42

For the first time in years the Ursa Major Award for best novel and best short story is guaranteed not to go to Kyell Gold.

Gold announced today on his blog that he is withdrawing his work from consideration for the Ursa Major Awards in the novel and short story categories. His novel Green Fairy and his short story “Rewind” from Heat were eligible for nomination.

Gold has previously won 12 Ursas over the last seven years (more than any recipient in the history of the awards). He cites wanting to showcase other authors as part of the reason he’s stepping back.

“I know you guys love me and my books,” Gold stated in his blog, “But I’d like to help the fandom’s literary scene mature, and part of that is showcasing more of the authors that are doing really good work. My name’s already up there in the lists; let’s see some of the other people.”

It’s not uncommon for awards to decline an artist eligibility after a certain number of wins. And it should be noted that Gold’s withdrawal doesn’t lessen the importance or the Ursa Majors or the accomplishments of the other authors in the fandom. So get out there and nominate and vote.

buttplug tail

Furry Reddit - Sun 27 Jan 2013 - 18:56

Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy my first butt plug tail for some fun in the bedroom. I'm not very knowledgeable though and a lot of the online looking I've done leaves me kind of overwhelmed by choices, some of which are quite expensive.

I was wondering I could get a little feedback from people regarding their own experiences with buttplug tails. Ideally I'd like one where I could buy matching ears (and perhaps paws and anklets). I'd like it to stand up to a little tugging and I guess be washable :)

Thanks in advance for any feedback people can share and I apologize if this is the wrong place for questions like this.

Review: ‘Summerhill’

Weasel Wordsmith - Sun 27 Jan 2013 - 17:33

Summerhill
Kevin Frane
Argyll Productions

Summerhill is the kind of book that happens when hundreds of deus ex machina stack and combine and Voltron themselves until they become this bizarre poetry centered around fucking with a dog’s head.

Like a lot of authors, filmmakers, and musicians who set about to make something as crazy and epic as this, Kevin Frane has written a book that reaches peaks of greatness for him, though sometimes at the expense of his usually tight storytelling.

There are numerous great scenes within Summerhill. The opening chapter is one of my favorite things Frane has written. The book abounds with interesting stuff. A cruise ship sailing between realities. Alien creatures of every shape and size. New and bizarre worlds. Super powers. And doors, lots of doors, both literally and figuratively.

If you’re a fan of his previous work, Summerhill is like concentrated Frane. The protagonists jump from locale to locale so frequently that readers are treated to a smorgasbord of whimsical prose and experimental writing. The dialogue is sharp, the characters exude personality, and it’s very clear that this is a universe full of people Frane cares about.

Really, Summerhill is worth reading just for the sampler platter of styles and homage. At times it’s very Dr. Who, with a dash of Lost. There are scenes that feel like Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars. The influences are obvious, but not heavy handed.

The scenes don’t quite tie together very well, and for the first half of the book, that’s kind of the point. But as the story reaches its conclusion, the events haven’t coalesced into much. At its root the plot is very simple, and all the crazy stuff happening around it feels inconsequential at times. It’s a book that leaves dozens of questions unanswered, so know that going in. It’s not so much a story about finding oneself as it is a story about finding everything else.

While not a book I necessarily recommend to the general public, I will say that I’ve never read anything quite like Summerhill, and I’m glad to have experienced it. There are plenty of you out there that will adore so much about this story and the universe(s), and really any fan of Frane’s work will find more than enough parts to love.

Furry Might Be Spazzing over Nothing

Ask Papabear - Sun 27 Jan 2013 - 13:05
Hello Papabear,

I am 20 years old and have been a furry for 10 years. Anyway I have a friend who has been a furry for a long time, He's an amazing artist and we talk a lot almost everyday. I really love and care for him and he is too nice to say anything but Im afraid I'm hyping this relationship too much. He has this thing with his fursona's that he doesn't bottom ... but a few days ago I saw a pic of just that, he gave someone permission. I would never do that because I know how he feels. I just thought we were close. I mean he is really my hero he has really helped me a lot. I just don't know what to do. He's doing a pic for me right now with his fursona and mine, however I told him to do what he wants... meaning he picks what it will look like and what they are doing.. Anyway What should I do? (ps we live really far away)

Hi, King,

I appreciate that you care for this artist and that you’ve had some bonding. Sometimes these long-distance things can really work out, if not as love relationships then at least as very special friendships, as has happened to me.

But I think that you are correct when you say you are “hyping this relationship too much.” In this relationship, we are talking about two people who have never physically met and one of these people is upset about a drawing. It’s not like he cheated on you and you caught him in bed yiffing another lover. This is, and indulge me the reiteration, a drawing!

So, what went amiss here? It could be simple miscommunication—something that is easy to do in person, and even moreso online; it could be that something caused him to change his mind about drawing his fursona in this way and he just didn’t bother or forgot to tell you.

In short, you are making a big deal over nothing. There is nothing in this little incident that should cause you grief or make you lose any sleep. Certainly, it is not worth causing any drama.

Calm down and continue your relationship with this furry, who seems like a pretty cool person overall.

Hugs,

Papabear
