Brer Warrior Returns
A creative outfit known as Graffiti on the Sun sent us a press release: “Graffiti On The Sun returns with its long-awaited second issue of the comic book series Brer Warrior. Not only does the hopping hot comic series return after a hiatus, it returns at the low price of $1.99. In the second issue of Brer Warrior (the [black & white] comic series that’s loosely based on the folktale character Brer Rabbit with kung-fu packed, sci-fi seasoned, urban twist), Brer returns to his childhood home to restart his kung-fu training. But well his fellow student and former friend Ebunny let him, or will something from his past prevent her from doing so?
Brer Warrior issue 2 can be purchased at Indyplanet. For more info about Brer Warrior and Graffiti on the Sun, check out our main site.”

Update on SportyPup’s Condition
This is reposted from his FA Journal:
Sporty Gives a Thumbs Up
Another update…. I’m gonna try my best to keep everyone updated as much as possible.
If you’re not really sure what’s going on you can read the articles about my health issue at:
www.FurryNewsNetwork.com
www.GeorgiaFurs.com
I really want to start off by thanking everyone once again, all of you have my eternal gratitude. How everyone has come together to help in so many ways is truly astounding. Once again, I couldn’t be more proud to be a furry.
I had to go see my doctor yesterday, and to be honest it wasn’t a good visit. I was kinda hoping for some good news but didn’t get any. My heart is becoming weaker with overworking itself. Now I’m suppose to stay in bed until the surgery, and still no date for the surgery. Grrrrrrrrrr. Come on, my name is Sporty for a reason, I like to be active. Don’t worry though, I’m gonna listen to him and stay calm and relaxed as much as possible. I won’t lie to y’all though, I’m kinda worried, I can feel the difference, the strain, the fatigue. I still hold my head up high, and thanks to all of you my spirits are still at a all time high. *hugs you all tight*
As for the donations update. We are currently up to $8311.72 to be exact, out of the $16,500 needed for the surgery. We still have roughly $8200 more to go. We are still excepting donations through paypal. Every penny adds up to make a huge difference, even if its just a dollar or two. If you would like to make a donation you can donate through paypal to driftinbears[at]hotmail.com
There are also still a couple auctions going on. You can view them at:
www.thedealersden.com
Also if you are a artist and would like to help out please contact sinabu who is handling the artist auctions.
Thank you all for spreading the word so much, it really does mean a lot to me. And I urge you all to keep continuing to spread the word. It will help keep everyone updated and informed.
Also, I’m still really out of it, mentally and physically. If I haven’t responded yet to a note or comment that you might of sent me, please know that i’m not ignoring you, it’s just gonna take some time so please be patient with me. Some days are just bad and I don’t even get out of bed, but whenever I have good moments I hop right on here and try my best to reply to as many as I can.
Thank you all again for everyones help, love, compassion, and understanding.
*hugs you all tightly*
As we get updates on Sporty’s condition, we will continue to update everyone.

Um. I think I may have a problem. I don't think I am terribly attracted to humans.
I'm married, quite happily in fact. The sex is so so, though. It's not my husband's fault. But I recently realized that I have never really enjoyed sex, even with guys I am really attracted to. I just numb it out, and usually want to get it over with as quick as possible. I don't deeply enjoy the contact, I guess, except on very few occasions I can name. I generally prefer sex from behind for this purpose.
I have always felt very strong sexual attraction for cartoon characters. I attribute this to have been sexually abused and humiliated as a child, and cartoon were the only consistent thing in my life, so I latched onto them.
I have been fantasizing about cartoon characters since I was six or seven. I write lots of erotic fanfic around this purpose. I sometimes have to fantasize about whatever character I am obsessed with at the time to get aroused. I also get way more aroused watching animals have sex than watching people have sex.
Maybe I am wrong for labeling this a problem - I know there are a lot of zoos on here, and truth me told I am not terribly against zoophilia as long as the animals show consent (which I do believe they are capable of doing.) However this is a problem for me, as 1) as nice a watching animals mate is, i don't want to actually mate with one, and 2) I'm married, and I REALLY don't think my husband will get it. He knows I have furry leanings but not the degree of it.
What do?

Furry Needs Our Help For Donations For Heart Surgery
02/02/2011
By: Lucky Wolf
One of our own greatly really needs our help. SportyPup, who is a local Georgia fur needs to have surgery due to a bad valve in his heart. This particular condition is called Valvular Heart Disease, and if not treated will cause heart failure. The surgery will take $40,000 total, but needs $16,500 up front, just to be able to have the surgery. The remaining $24,000 will be billed later, so he needs to get this money soon. The longer Sporty has to wait for the surgery, the greater the risk is of heart failure. The hope is to have enough to be able to have the surgery later this month in Asheville, NC., but only if the doctor see’s that the amount needed will come in quickly after.
Sporty, is currently 30 years old, but will be 31 in March. Besides being a furry and occasional fursuiter, he is also a father of a 3 1/2 year old boy, named Koda. Sporty currently lives in Macon, Georgia.
Sporty and friends are now asking for donations towards the surgery through paypal. Even if you’re only able to donate a couple dollars anything helps, so they ask everyone who reads this to please donate something. Friend’s are even putting items up on thedealersden.com to help raise money. Sporty is a really awesome guy, and really needs our help to make this happen. You can make a donation too, through the paypal link below.
Even with all the drama that goes on in this fandom, I have also seen this fandom do a lot of good, and really come together when one of our own needs help, and I would hope this no exception.
FNN Editor’s note: I do not know SportyPup personally. The details of his current situation have been verified through several well respected community members.

Furry Study 2011; Participants Needed
Furries are a greatly misunderstood subculture. To better help understand the “Furry Fandom” – the mindsets of the participants, and how we compare to and differ from other fandoms (i.e. sci-fi and fantasy based fandoms), the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and Niagara County Community College in Sanborn, New York, are conducting an international online survey of the Furry Fandom.
Conducting the study is Courtney “Nuka” Plante, a furry social psychology graduate student at the University of Waterloo and Dr. Kathy Gerbasi, a social psychologist at the Niagara County Community College in Sanborn, New York.
Dr. Gerbasi and Courtney (Nuka) have been studying furries through the use of rigorous scientific methodology in the hopes of understanding furries and their fandom. There is a lot of bad media and misinformation about furries, and they hope that by scientifically studying the furry fandom they can do away with misconceptions regarding the furry fandom.
Dr. Gerbasi has conducted a survey at Anthrocon for the last 5 years now, and while the results have certainly been informative, it is felt that a great many furries are left out of the research. As such, this will be a large-scale online international furry survey d in the hopes of getting as many furries to complete the survey as possible.
There will be draws for prizes as an incentive for people to participate, and they are hoping that furries will be interested to participate in actual scientifically valid research that’s being conducted by furries and fur-friendly researchers.
This is the study website’s url:
https://artsweb.uwaterloo.ca/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/cplante/Furry2011
Dr. Samuel “Uncle Kage” Conway was contacted as a reference. He had very positive things to say about the survey and those conducting it.
Dr. Gerbasi has been the very essense of professionalism in her study. She sought my input on drafting the proposal and delivered a copy of the university’s IRB approval. Anthrocon has fully supported her research and has never had a complaint as to her methods. Mr. Plante has worked closely with her and has shown a similar level of professionalism and to the scientific integrity of the study.
FNN has further verified the validity of the survey through the University of Waterloo’s Research Ethics office, as well as reviewed the survey in it’s entirety. All details check out and the survey its self does not have a negative or positive bias.
If you are interested in participating in the survey, we strongly encourage it. A study of this nature may make a difference in how we are seen and treated as a subculture in the future.
Positive or negative, Furry News Network will follow the outcome of this and report back any findings once the research project is concluded and the results published.

A Farewell to Redwall
News has come out that Brian Jacques, creator and writer of the wildly-popular Redwall series of anthropomorphic fantasy novels, died on February 5th. He was 71. First published in 1986 (initially by Beaver Books), the Redwall series tells the tale of Redwall Abbey, a medieval monastery run by mice, which also includes a host of other species common to England and much of Europe (such as rabbits, otters, squirrels, and badgers). The main story arc follows the adventures of a young mouse named Matthias, who discovers that he is in fact the descendant of a great mouse hero known as Martin the Warrior. This knowledge comes in handy when Matthias learns he must help defend Redwall against all manner of “evil” creatures, such as rats, ferrets, foxes, and so on. (Species tend to be either “good” or “bad” in the Redwall universe, with little or no individual exceptions). From that first book, the series has gone on to achieve international acclaim and awards, with a new book coming out almost every year. Brian Jacques was famous for his background as a member of the working class in Liverpool, England. Among his many jobs was driving a milk delivery truck, and one of his stops included a boarding school for blind students. It was during his visits there that Mr. Jacques began to tell the stories that would become the Redwall series — making the details especially vivid to entertain his young, blind listeners. The Rogue Crew, which will be the last Redwall book written and published by Brian Jacques, will be on the shelves this May.
Tyra Banks "Furry" Episode: Rainstar's Thoughts
(NSFW) Hello furry. I'm a budding smut artist and I'm having trouble with commissions.
Hey there furries, So I've been drawing dirty things for furries for quite some time now, but up until recently I hadn't really been taking that sort of thing seriously.
Lately people have been giving me "nice style" and "you've improved so much" kinds of comments, which leads me to wonder if I should open up for commissions or something. And no, I'm really not trying to advertise here, I'm just curious as to how high or low I should be pricing things.
BUT HERE'S THE KICKER.
So yesterday someone PM'd me asking about a commission, and I excitedly agreed to his little two-person picture. I gave him a ballpark estimate of $25 for full color and shading, and he instead wanted to give me $80 so long as I gave him a background. And of course I was like "hahahaaa well okay." $80?! Jesus, that's a trip to the grocery store, dude.
tl;dr - How much is my smut worth in terms of commissions? Here's the link to my FA Page
