For your consideration:

There are some pretty amazing covers of “Want You Gone” popping up all over youtube. Check some of them out at the link below. We can recommend the cover by Harry101UK

Are furries as open to the LGBT culture as I want to believe?

Furry Reddit - Mon 9 May 2011 - 03:11

I mean, furries get their kind of shit, but so does homosexuals and other kinds of people in the LGBT community. I want to say yes, but do any of you know any furries that are homophobic or otherwise disagree with being non-straight?

Tiny Kitten Teeth

In-Fur-Nation - Mon 9 May 2011 - 01:59

With a name like that, it has to be… furry! Tiny Kitten Teeth is a hand-painted on-line comic strip, created by Becky and Frank Dreistadt. It updates twice weekly. According to the creators, “The comic follows the slice-of-life adventures of Mewsli, a fish out of water in Owltown, a compact metropolis built around a particularly affluent arts college. Every week we take a break from the story and go visit our friend Tigerbuttah, a little tiger who doesn’t know much about life yet.” Becky and Frank also have a Kickstarter campaign going to raise funds to publish a Tigerbuttah children’s book, in the style of the old Golden Books line. They also have several other art projects going, which they’re more than happy to tell you about on their comic strip’s web site.

Share your LESSER KNOWN favorite web comics.

Furry Reddit - Sun 8 May 2011 - 02:39

Text to avoid upvote whoring.

Everyone knows about the big name comics. you know, the ones that often suck, but people like anyways for whatever reason. Well now it's time to catalog some of your favorite web comics, whether they be Furry or not.

Kid Radd was a sprite comic that ran a few years ago about a character from an NES game who's ROM got uploaded to the internet one day, and then was freed from his game by a game sprite liberation group and released to live among others like him in the internet.

Inverloch A mini-series about a soft-hearted saiter boy who goes on a quest to find a mysterious silver haired elf who holds the key as to why the elves of the land are now aging and losing their magic abilities.

Gone With the Blastwave A dark comedy post-apocalyptic HIGH QUALITY ART comic, that I really can't find any other way to describe it..... it's goofy. Think.... Red vs Blue in Fallout.

Indefensible Positions A story in 14 chapters told in comic format about Good vs Evil, Chaos vs. Order. and the inner workings of the mind and the power of Memes.

Dr. McNinja Because no comic list is complete without Dr. McNinja, be it about lesser known comics or not.... some people still haven't heard of it. SHAMROCKS!?! This is STUPID!

I have plenty more, but this is just to get you started... remember, FORMATTING!

Author: RingtailedFox

Unfortunate news from Metro Detroit this week: On Thursday, a pair of rabid skunks were destroyed in the suburb of Royal Oak, causing the police to issue a warning to local residents. [WXYZ-TV - Channel 7 Detroit and WDIV-TV - ClickonDetroit.com]

The Royal Oak Police say the skunks were found on the 1700 Block of Maxwell Avenue and the 200 block of Dewey Street, near Oakview Cemetery. Numerous calls were received from concerned homeowners in the highly-built-up residential area. The police said those coming into contact with an animal who they suspect may have rabies should leave the area and call them.

New furry-inspired clothing line looks to make a splash in the UK and beyond

Furry News Network - Sun 8 May 2011 - 00:56

By: Tim “Kijani” Watanabe

In today’s down economy, it takes a great idea, a dream, and a lot of persistence to start a niche-market clothing line.

But 5V5 (V), who is based out of the picturesque countryside town of Yorkshire in the United Kingdom, believes he has all of the above, and then some. He is the owner of a new company, Saint Le Fur, which specializes in clothing catered to members of the furry fandom.

“I’ve been interested in fashion design since I was 15,” V said. “I was always interested in seeing fashion forecasts and how they shaped peoples’ personalities.”

An inspired college student, V didn’t let the heartbreak of not being accepted into a university course in fashion get to him. Instead, his combined interest in designer labels and the furry fandom led V to create his own line, with a name as unique as his clothing.

“I wanted it to be different and original for the community in its own way, and thus the name (Saint Le Fur),” V explained. “Its actual meaning is ‘The Righteous Fur,’ meaning, ‘daring to be different.’”

Frisky Soulwolf shows off one of Saint Le Fur's T-shirt designs in Times Square, New York City. Saint Le Fur, owned by 5V5, is a new furry-themed fashion line based out of the United Kingdom.

According to V, the target market for Saint Le Fur is wide-ranging, “roughly 17 to 30-year-old males and females,” he said. What sets Saint Le Fur’s shirts apart from other furry-themed apparel is that the brand’s one-of-a-kind stylization offers “closeted” furries something to wear in public without feeling uncomfortable.

Hosted on www.streetshirts.co.uk for the time being and being based out of the United Kingdom, a majority of Saint Le Fur’s vibrant shirts are UK-themed, but V is looking forward to the opportunity to branch out to a more worldwide audience as hit company gets off the ground.

“Due to the costs of shipping and handling, we are mainly aimed at the UK community,” V said, adding that some of his line is inspired by DJs and the clubbing scene. “When we build a solid fan base, I’d like to make more designs suited to other countries. My plan is to save up enough money to get some T-shirts made and go to AnthroCon to see how they go.”

Saint Le Fur does have a selection of generic furry designs, such as the popular I (paw) NY illustration, that has already been seen in the United States at conventions and elsewhere. The creative team behind the company is always open to hearing about and seeing new design ideas for their apparel.

“Thinking of new ideas everyday and just jotting them down for future reference is amazing,” V said, admitting that relying on third-party manufacturers such as Street Shirts relinquishes control of the shirt quality, but not the designs. “We are soon to change this as we expand and sell more shirts. Right now we just aim to build up ground.”

Although Saint Le Fur is in its precarious early stages, V, like most upstart fashion designers, has lofty goals for his line.

“I’d like to have branded parties, fashion shows at conventions and having unknown artists within the fandom step up and collaborate with us,” described V on his eventual goals for Saint Le Fur. “In general though, I’d just like to see this company succeed and really see people wear our stuff and say it’s ‘pawesome!’”

To view Saint Le Fur’s current clothing line, visit their Street Shirts website at www.streetshirts.co.uk/SaintLeFur. For questions or more information, e-mail V at SaintLeFur@hotmail.co.uk.

Facebook Deleting ‘Non-Human’ Profiles

Furry News Network - Sat 7 May 2011 - 20:39

Facebook, you likely either love it or hate it. The social networking giant seems to have been conducting maintenance on its user accounts for a few years focused on accounts for pets or animals. Mainly this seems to be driven by the network’s security policies to keep users from hiding behind another personality and not showing a profile page.

 

Today some furs in the UK have been on Twitter saying that they have signed onto Facebook to find their accounts have been deleted. Most are assumed to have been using either fursona names or profile pictures of either their fursuit or character artwork.

 

Several groups have sprung up to petition against the site from taking down profiles which are based on pets (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=133690639974794&v=wall) and also other objects such as calculators and teddy bears (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2220851540&v=wall).

 

Although Facebook has no official policy regarding ‘non-human’ profile pages, the terms of the website ask that users “provide their real names and information” and also “not create more than one personal profile” (http://www.facebook.com/terms.php?ref=pf) which is common among some furs to separate personal and furry lives apart.

 

If you have an account on Facebook, might be recommended to check what your name is and if it sounds realistic and everyday. Also be aware if your profile photos are all of character art or a Fursuit you might be more likely to catch the web moderators attention.

 
[Edit: One solution is to create a real user account, and then create a "fan page" for your Fursona or character. ]

One of those whose account was deleted, Axle Fox, was able to get his restored by giving Facebook his real name.
