This novella is the first in FurPlanet’s ”Cupcake” series of works that are too short to be novels, but are long enough to stand on their own. It is also the winner of the Ursa Major Award for the Best Anthropomorphic Short Fiction of 2010. Finally, it is the fourth of Gold’s “Forester Universe” stories, set in the same world as his Waterways, Out of Position, and Isolation Play.

And it is as X-rated as Gold’s previous “Forester” stories. Amir is a young fennec who has just moved to Gateway to finish his graduate studies at Pinewood College. He also wants to “finish growing up” by developing a permanent relationship (male) instead of the one-night stands that he has become used to in his home town. He hopes to find someone appropriate at The Foxed Page, a comfortable fox-frequented bookstore near the university.

Er, I said that Bridges is as X-rated as Gold’s previous “Forester” stories. Actually, if they are X-rated, Bridges is XXX-rated. It was hard to find any parts of the first three chapters that are non-hardcore enough to quote. There certainly are in the final two chapters, where the story moves from nonstop gay sex into serious motivation, characterization, and the emotional residue from deceased and absent former lovers. There is still an overpowering erotic emphasis, but it makes clear that a true relationship is about much more than just the sex.

If an overemphasis on raw sex isn’t to your liking, too bad. Because you are missing a really good story.

FurPlanet Productions, February 2010, trade paperback $ 9.95 (vii + 114 pages; at Amazon); Kindle $ 7.99. Illustrated by Keovi.

i know it depends on the artist and the commission and everything but about 2 weeks ago i asked for a commission and i paid them, (it was a 5 dollar commission and she claimed i only sent 4.50...however on my paypal it said i sent 5.00 and i definitely typed in 5. i just said whatever i'll just give you another dollar, and i did that.) then she said she was starting on it that night. well it looks like she has not been online since then, i suspect computer problems are a possiblity. i don't want to overreact or anything but i am paranoid when it comes to money on the internet. and it was only 6 dollars so it's not really a big deal. but just curious if this is a normal amount of time for a commission. thanks :3

That’s right, our thirty-third episode is up, and boy does it start out weird! We go into everything from Proposition 8 to littering, from tunnel vision to anti-Ellen activists, from Smokey’s Word of the Week to FurAffinity’s upcoming downtime…and that’s before we even hit the e-mails! We’ve got only two this week, one of them discussing the merits of sex vs. love and the other discussing how not to ruin Valentine’s Day – or other holidays – if you’re single. Remember, be considerate of the people around you, and you’ll be a much happier person!

Our next episode will be recorded LIVE at Furry Fiesta, and we need your e-mails! These will be read live in front of our audience and replied to…and hey, if you’re going to be at Furry Fiesta, just bring up a topic and we’ll go for it on-the-spot! We won’t have a recording on the 16th of February, because, well…first, the week before Furry Fiesta is going to be turbo-insane, and second, we want to save our e-mails for the live show! Get in contact with us and help us put on a great show!

Dear Papabear,

I have been having a bit of relationship troubles and some problems with my furry ‘family’ as well. My mate, the lovable tiger that he is, is sometimes a bit of a handful. He’s really paranoid and reads too deep into what people say. If you say you don’t like what he likes, he will get really upset assuming you are saying you hate the opposite. A sort of bianary mentality about things. If its not one way, then it must obviously be the exact opposite. This leads to him jumping to conclusions and making wild assumptions and yelling at people he just meets because they say something wrong. Lastly, when someone tries to bring up that they are having a problem, he will interject with one of his problems and when we tell him we’re trying to help the other fur, he assumes we don’t care about him leading to us spending several hours trying to cheer him up having to completely ignore the other fur’s problem. This, as you can assume, leads to a lot of drama.

I am the one who has to clean up the drama because I just happen to be the one who is capable of managing emotions. So most of my time talking with my friends is spent being a drama janitor. Its really stressful because everyone is so fragile and easily upset so I have to always tiptoe through my words. The worst part though is that since these furs seem emotionally helpless, I dont get to express my problems, but most of the time, I dont need to express my problems because I enjoy helping people with their problems. I love being helpful amd making people smile. Sadly the problems I have to deal with are petty and if I point out that the one who is upset is actually at fault and not the victim, I get barked at. How do I handle them?

Pardon me if I rambled.

Dear  Tired Pup,

It sounds to Papabear as if your tiger mate might be suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder. Remembering that this bear is not a medical professional, I urge you to look at some of the links I will provide you below.

BPD’s symptoms include seeing everything in black-and-white terms (what you call a “binary mentality”) and having inappropriate overreactions to other people’s comments and observations. Depending on the degree of the BPD, sufferers of this affliction may or may not be able to function well in society. Treatment is available for those with BPD, and often involves a combination of therapy and medications.

Tired Pup, though you are very brave and sweet to try to handle this problem on your own, Papabear urges you to try and get some help for your mate, if at all possible. In addition, don’t forget about yourself. You sound like a very giving person, but every now and then try and give yourself some “me time.” Find a place where you can be alone and relax, meditate, go see a movie, go enjoy the outdoors. Try and do this at least once a week and it should help relieve some of the stress.

In the meantime, here are some links for you:

• http://www.bpddemystified.com/: a very good introduction to BPD and its treatments.
• http://bpdresourcecenter.org/: another good resource with all kinds of information.
• http://bpd.about.com/od/treatments/a/od/glossary/g/psychoed.htm : this page from About.com offers a lot of treatment options, including tips on self-treatment, which can be useful for those who can’t afford psychotherapy.

Good Luck!

Hugs!

Papabear

Genetically engineered dog soldier, Gene the Hackman, now protects one of the last remaining human beings, a young girl named Leezee Sower, and the two of them have traveled to the land of Auxtralia, straight into the territory of a new pack!” Look for it this March, or find out more at The Book Depository.
