Book cover by Rukis

After a long journey, up-and-coming artist and writer Amy “Ringshadow” Meister (FA) has entered the publishing market with her first e-book, Rainbow in the Dark (originally named “Like a Rainbow in the Dark”, as a tribute to the Ronnie James Dio song of the same name).

The story, set in an anthropomorphic/furry universe, concerns a closet-gay wolf-raccoon hybrid named Marcus Midnight, a fictional rock star, and his power-metal band Guillotine. After a successful musical career spanning twelve years and six hit albums, Marcus feels burned-out and extremely lonely.

It’s a game series, a comic book, a collection of plushies, an animation project in the works… It’s Battle Bears! It tells the story of a well-armed little bear named Oliver — and his well-armed companions — who crash-land on an alien world populated by cute pink teddy-bears called Huggies… who, if they get your mitts on you, will promptly hug you to death! Fortunately Oliver has guns to spare — he’s well-prepared to blow off the huggies’ heads, at which point rainbows shoot out of their necks. Yes. It’s all the creation of one Benjamin Vu (a graduate of the animation program at Cal Arts) and his company, SkyVu Pictures. Seriously, this just scratches the fuzzy surface of what SkyVu is up to. Visit their Battle Bears web site to find out more about new games and other projects they’re still busily developing.

Fanboy Confessional: The Furry Edition by Markham Street Films is a very good, well-balanced, objective and positive review of furry fandom.

With six television episodes examining steampunk, LARPers, zombie fans, furry, real-life superheroes and cosplay, this documentary mini-series doesn’t try to present each fandom’s inner complications. Instead it focuses on individuals, exploring personal meaning, enjoyment and creativity. Each show interviews unabashed yet functional fans, all of whom obviously love their fandoms and are having a grand old time.

The furry episode talks to fans in Ontario, primarily Kitty (costumer and fursuit-maker of Fun-Fur-All), and Pyat (RPG writer and all-around really nice guy!1), but also Frostscar, Roxicat and footage from furry convention Condition. All together, a wonderful job is done of talking about the fandom, how it appeals to the interviewees and to others.

The adult aspects of the fandom are acknowledged without dominating or embarrassing the discussion. There’s a concerted effort made to break the CSI mold and show that the fandom is much more diverse than its stereotypes. (Though with sexual orientation, a 2007 survey indicates that indeed, the majority of furry fans aren’t straight.)

Although the people being interviewed all explain how most furries aren’t fursuiters, the show largely targets them anyway. This is nothing new; if you watch the other five episodes of the series, there’s a similar focus on people who like to dress up and/or make things. Furry is shown to provide a very strong sense of fandom community and social engagement.

Two things I wish I could change would be that (A) the role of artists and artwork in the fandom is severely under-represented; and (B) there isn’t really much animosity between anime and furry fandoms, aside from juvenile snarking. Otherwise it does a great job of presenting the basics of and enthusiasm within furry in 22 minutes.

All six episodes of Fanboy Confessional can be watched online at Spacecast — however, it may only work in Canada. If you’re worrying how to explain furry to your family, this documentary might be exactly what you need.

[Editors Note:  Fanboy Confessional producers have been asked if the show will be seen in the US.  At present, it has not been picked up but they urge fans wanting to see it to contact SyFy channel or IFC. ]

South Korean scientists have created a glow in the dark dog that apparently has an on and off switch. The genetically modified female beagle named Tegon, glows fluorescent green under ultraviolet light if given a doxycycline antibiotic.

Sonic for Hire is back for a second season!

Earth Eternal is coming back to North American audiences. With new ownership of the game, handled now by Outblaze and TurnOut Ventures, we can expect a revamped and revived game. Within the next few weeks, players should expect to keep their eyes peeled for the Open Beta Test of the game.

It's a "sexy" Tails... *shudder*

Elijah Wood's interview on 7 Minutes in Heaven. He talks about Wilfred and yes, he knows about furries.

Let me preface this by saying I'm not out to attack anyone; I'm just curious as to what the general consensus is. My sister is lesbian; at no point did she 'decide' that she was gay, just the same way I'm sure many of you didn't 'decide' to be straight. However I'm curious if furry fandom has analogues to the LGBT issue (not directly, but more as a parallel).

I ask because while I enjoy furry art (even NSFW), and will even go so far as to get cat ears in second life, I don't consider myself a Fur. I have friends who are furs. But I enjoy other venues of art. I fap to regular pron as often as furry. I don't participate in the Furry community (this is a throwaway). I feel no real connection and no real need to get involved. But you guys are regular people just like everyone else, which I can say having friends both inside and outside the community. What are your thoughts?
