"Don't be stupid." Public Service Announcement

This week we talk about.... religion. We asked how religion influences your relationships and/or your view on the fandom. Does it color it some ways, or do you not really care since you're not involved? We got a TON of responses, and we read a good cross section of them. We take some time to discuss our own particular views as well and find we're not too far apart in a lot of ways.

This week on KnotCast, we're silly! Well, just a little bit. This week we talk about parking the beef bus in tuna town, long distance relationships, straight people who aren't sure the person they like reciprocates, and hear back from people about their 2009. We also give some tough but fair advice, talk about our own personal 2009, and have fun. Don't forget!

It's been pretty quiet around here, so I figure this is as good a time as any to post a review.

(minor spoilers ahead)

As FC starts to inch closer and closer, it made me think of Further Confusion's guest of honor from last year, Clare Bell. It was my first opportunity to learn about rathacat and not only was I impressed with Clare when I had a chance to meet her at FC, but I was even more impressed after I read her book, "Ratha's Creature". "Ratha's Creature" is the first novel in the series of the Named, and it's about intelligent prehistoric big cats who have learned to tame and herd livestock. The main character of the story is Ratha, a young, strong-minded female who is learning the ins and outs of being a good herder, but when Ratha discovers and figures out how to handle fire, her world and the world of the Named undergo a drastically change.

Not only did Clare come up with a phenomenal idea for her novel, but the way she handled her intelligent, anthropomorphic cats was outstanding. Some of my favorite parts of the story were how Ratha began to not only learn about herself, but how she came to understand the world around her. Ratha's childlike curiosity toward her creature, the Red Tongue, was an absolute joy to read, and I thought the way Clare wrote some of her scenes was masterful. An example is when Ratha was trying to understand things that were happening to her physically, like coming into heat and giving birth. These parts of the story really shined, and it showed off Clare's incredible writing ability. "Ratha's Creature" is an absolute must read for any fan of anthropomorphic fiction, and I will definitely be reading the rest of her novels in the Named series.

This week on KnotCast, it's the week before the amazing commercial holiday of Chrismas! Yay! We let our holiday spirit shine, as Savrin is poked fun at, emails are read, and fun is had by all. This week we talk about masturbation while visiting the family (but not around them!), underage furs being too grabby on adult furs, and Isty reads an email like Captain Kirk. Doorknobs abound on a silly, end of the year episode of KnotCast! This weeks song is "Nothing But A Pile of Dance Moves!" by Noppz http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01576/ Episode 78 - All I Want For Yiffmas

We tie up loose ends (with a KNOT) with Not Tube, a bold NaNoWriMo proposition, a last word on relationships, and some writing tips, references, and exercises. Unsheathed #21 - No holiday magic here, just Not Tube and some long-overdue e-mails.
