It's been almost a month since the last one, and I've (eventually) been trying to gather up all the art created though the Furry Art Request Roulette into one place (thanks again to /u/Weonix for giving me the idea) to make things generally easier... which meant painstakingly checking through the submission history of everyone who signed up as an artist. The most discouraging fact I realised is that there was (as far as I can tell) around 150 requests that never got fulfilled. Seeing as I found a total of 158 pieces of artwork from last year - having only ~50% of requests completed is something of an unmitigated disaster that desperately needs worked on.

So, the things that I feel I need to change if the FARR is going to continue in 2016 is the following:

• New submission forms - The old ones are... well... old, and the questions asked need updated. (Not to mention that the sheets of results are a mess and I'd rather not have to look at them ever again and just start fresh with a better format.)
• Be more picky about the artists who sign up - I might be assuming the worst here, but having artists who don't complete requests makes the whole idea of the FARR fall apart. The event is only possible because of the artists who volunteer time and effort to it. (This doesn't mean the artists have to be especially good - just that they are willing.)
• Get more feedback - Big one here. This isn't just feedback about FARR itself, but also getting feedback on artists' progress and if there's any lack of communication between pairings. I'll probably ask artists and requesters to add comments to a FARR post, just so I know at the very least they've seen the post and tried to contact each other.
• Make it easier for people to find information - Currently, the only way to find info is to manually search for it on the subreddit, where all the FARR posts are split up and there's bits and pieces everywhere, including a "master post" which is useful, but no easier to find. My plan is to make a (few) wiki page(s) that can be constantly kept up to date and act as a centralised information hub.
• Probably asking for help managing it - Kind of obvious, really. Keeping track of everything isn't easy, but adding more people won't help if I keep information in my head or inbox. This one's a "wait and see if I need it".
• Do more in response to missing artists/requesters - This is related to the "more feedback" point. Whenever a pairing doesn't result in art, something is going to need fixed or someone is going to need reassigned, and this should be done promptly. This is something I dropped the ball on last year and will strongly endeavour to do better at this year.

I'm currently aiming to have the new forms set up to be released on Wednesday the 20th of January, with the first FARR of the year going live on Feb. 4th. I still plan to have it every fortnight, but obviously changing the day from Friday to Wednesday.

Here's hoping that this year will be a whole lot better than the last, and thanks again to all of the participating artists for making this possible.

So I work at a movie theater/restaurant, we get to dress up for any movies we want as long as well it is appropriate. I don't think dressing as Dr.Frankenfurter would be taken so well lol. Zootopia is coming out soon and I am so serving people as a furry :D This is going to be funnnnnnn! I'll take some photos of my outfit, won't be a full suit for obvious reasons xD

I've been dealing with this question for a while, ever since I found some yiff online. Ever since then I have been into it (the yiff I mean), but the idea of fursonas and fursuits isn't really my thing. I do like the art (even non-yiff stuff), and so I was wondering if I was a furry.

I understand that it's up to me, but I don't know if I have a clear grasp on what it means to be a furry. I'm not averse to joining, although I don't really understand (outside of the yiff world) what it means to be one.

Edit: thanks for the great responses. I guess I am a furry, thanks for helping me understand :D

Hi everyone. I'm not a part of the furry fandom, although I really like it, and I was wondering... Why do some of the people here like to wear fursuits? What is so appealing about them? Also, are the "fursuiters" a huge part of the community? Or a small part? I'm not here to make fun of anyone, I'm just a curious redditor who wants to listen to other redditors!

EDIT: Thanks everyone for responding! I think I got it. Cosplay, but you get to be your own 'sona (or you can buy one for- oh my god $300. That's... A lot.). Also, despite some hate I have seen for this community, you are really welcoming. I hope you are all proud of your awesome community!
