Quote from The Year of the Flood, authored by Margaret Atwood (as a sidenote it's a sequel to Oryx and Crake and it mostly takes place on a post apocalyptic Earth).

The below quote takes place early in the novel and doesn't have a lot to do with the plot, another reference or two to "furzoots" appear later in the novel but the one below is the first and takes place in chapter 7:

"Toby got a job as a furzooter: cheap day labour, no identity required. The furzooters put on fake-fur animal suits with cartoon heads and hung advertising signs around their necks, and worked the higher-end malls and boutique retail streets. But it was hot and humid inside the furzoots, and the range of vision was limited. In the first week she suffered three attacks by fetishists who knocked her over, twisted the big head around so she was blinded, and rubbed their pelvises against her fur, making strange noises, of which the meows were the most recognizable. It wasn't rape - no part of her actual body was touched - but it was creepy. Also it was distasteful dressing up as bears and tigers and lions and other endangered species she could hear being slaughtered on the floor below her. So she stopped doing that."

We can’t make this stuff up folks (if we could we’d be out there doing it!). Here’s the publisher’s description of Mousenet,  the first novel by Prudence Breitrose: “When ten-year-old Megan helps her uncle invent the Thumbtop, the world’s smallest computer, mice are overjoyed, and they want one for every mouse hole. The Big Cheese, leader of the Mouse Nation, has orders: follow that girl—even if it means high-tailing it to Megan’s new home on the other side of the country. While Megan struggles as the new girl, the mice watch, waiting for their chance. But when they tell Megan the biggest secret in the history of the world—mice have evolved, and they need her help—she isn’t sure anyone will believe her. With all of Mouse Nation behind her, Megan could become the most powerful girl alive, but just how will she create a Thumptop for every mouse?” It’s illustrated throughout by Stephanie Yue, and it’s available in hardcover (at Amazon and everywhere else) from Hyperion Books.

Furries Shine Strange Light Into the Darkness at Frolic Nightclub:
Sherilyn Connelly in the SFWeekly Blogs writes about her visit to last Saturday's furry "Frolic" event at The Stud nightclub.

Looks like I have some free time this week. This time I'll be going for a daring 30 requests. Same rules as last time. This time it will at least some of the time in digital, since I need practice in the medium. I may or may not do yiff, depending on the circumstances.

EDIT: I'm working on them as I type this, guys.

I know, I know, two asides in a row; I’ve been trying to keep them to a minimum.  However, I’d just like to note that, if you’ve taken the 2011 Furry Survey (or even if you haven’t – and why not, huh!?), there is an additional microsurvey of psychographic information available that could provide some very useful insights for us, which we can pass on to you!  Head on over and fill it out!
