Call for Submissions: Tropes!
Hey! You! Are you a furry writer? Or an avid reader of furry fiction? Yeah? Well, we want you!
We’ve been spending a good amount of time on visual art, recently, and as we peek through the drafts and ideas for the upcoming year’s articles, there’s still plenty more where that came from! We’d like to start branching out, however. In order to get a broader perspective on the furry writing scene, we’re trying something new: we’d like to feature three short pieces about tropes in furry fiction. A trope is an idea, technique, or metaphor that carries through multiple, unconnected works; as TVTropes puts it: “Tropes are devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members’ minds and expectations”. We’re looking to explore a few of these which are either specific to furry writing, or weirdly out of proportion in our genre. Keep reading for the rules!
The RulesWe’re looking to pick three entries from three different people in order to highlight some of the tropes common in furry writing. You may point these tropes out in a humorous fashion, find a unique way to hang a lampshade on them, to subvert, avert, or invert them, or point out if they are particularly effective. Three winners will be published here as an entry with proper credit, links back to galleries or websites, and a sentence about the author.
- Enter as many times as you want; if you provide more than one entry in a submission, please make sure they’re easily distinguished.
- Submissions should be 500-1000 words.
- Please include a short sentence about yourself and/or your character, as well as a link if you wish (website, FA or SoFurry gallery, etc).
- Cite any quotes you include.
- If your submission is fiction, please provide a description of the trope you are highlighting in order to make sorting easier (we’re aiming for three different tropes).
You will be notified in advance whether or not your entry is selected. Only one entry will be selected per person. By entering, you’re giving us the right to publish your entry here on http://adjectivespecies.com with proper attribution. You may be contacted again if there are additional publishing opportunities for your entry (we will never spam, nor share your address, of course). We may edit your entry for style, spelling, and grammar, and will notify you in advance if we do so. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact us at submit@adjectivespecies.com.
Furries on NatGeo Taboo
Rodent vs. Rodent
The Nut Job is a new CGI animated feature film that was announced in Animation Magazine’s 2012 calendar. It’s being produced by Toonbox Entertainment and Red Rover International, who are hoping to release it next summer. The director is Peter Lepeniotis, who first introduced his character Surly the Squirrel in a 2005 animated short film titled, appropriately, Surly Squirrel. In this new feature film, Surly and his rat buddy (named Buddy) must contend with a new group of rodents who invade their city park home. Not a lot to go on yet, but the film does have an entry up on IMDB, and Toonbox also has an web page for the project. Word is that The Nut Job may be developed into a TV series also.

My wife made this as a present but I had a feeling y'all might like it more than most.
What are your thoughts public perceptions?
Since watching the National Geographic 'Taboo' preview posted a few days ago, I keep finding myself thinking about the public perception of furries and how much (if at all) furries care about public perceptions.
As of right now, the fandom seems relatively small compared to other fandoms and it seems that most people have either a) never heard of furries or b) have no opinion(s) towards them. That said, I also know of multiple accounts of negative media portrayals and a general concern of additional negative portrayals from multiple furs… However, what if the exact opposite were true?
What if, instead, furries were consistently portrayed in a positive light? What if they became the next 'thing'? What if it went so far that it became commercial? Would this too be discouraged?
TL;DR Do you care about perceptions of the fandom? If so, do you have a preference for what they should be?
