Book of the Month: An Anthropomorphic Century
October’s Book of the Month, An Anthropomorphic Century, is the latest furry anthology edited by Fred Patten.
What if animals could talk? Or communicate telepathically? What if they evolved to become something more than human, or we made ourselves more like them?
Storytellers have asked these questions from the dawn of human history to the present day. An Anthropomorphic Century showcases the answers to some of these questions from the last century.
Features stories ranging from 1909 to 2008, including the talents of Peter S. Beagle, Philip K. Dick, Michael H. Payne, Phil Geusz, Renee Carter Hall, and more.

It's there a sub for writers?
Title is self explanatory. Was wondering if there was a sub for the furry writers out there to hang out and bounce ideas around.

Origins of the feud between Furries and Scalies
There was a little speculation of the origin but I found it in the great big book of Furry Facts. Here is the story.
It was a lovely day in Camelot, England, 1326. The sun was shining despite the rain that had been drizzling the past several days. The air was warm with moisture. It was summertime and the farmers were reaping in the harvest. These products would be used the feed the everyday people in Camelot, and some of it would be used for trade so Camelot would get iron, coal, and thread.
It was these times of peace General Walter liked. The black cat anthro walked into the nearby bakery, smelling the delicious danishes from it.
Meanwhile, Cragtor, another general that was a green scalie, walked into the same bakery. His body was cold-blooded so he needed something to warm up himself. A hot danish would be enough.
Walter stopped at the door and opened it for Cragtor.
"After you,” He said.
"Thank you.” The scalie walked in, then went into the line. So did Walter. The two of them chatted about the war against the Gauls as the line dwindled. Soon, Cragtor got to the counter. He asked for a piping hot strawberry danish and took it from the chef.
Walter went up after Cragtor has paid his fee and asked for the same thing, only to find that Cragor had taken the last one.
The black cat looked at the scalie, eating his danish with delight as he walked out. Walter’s fury grew at the scale. That was supposed to be his danish! He vowed he would never be friends with another scalie again.
About a year later, Walter had kept his promise, sticking only with his mammal kind. Then the king grew sick. Before he died, his successor, for he had no children, was on his tongue. But the lips never formed the name.
And so, another war began. After the generals made a temporary truce to defeat the Gauls, which they did for the time being, they began a war between each one.
Only three managed to rise above the others as they had more money and popularity. They were Walter, Cragtor, and a new comer they ignored, a small smart blue avian by the name of Riner.
Walter kept his wish and declared war against Cragtor with his furry supporters. He vowed the kingdom would only feel the pureness of the furries, and none of the coldness of the scalies. Cragtor attacked back with his scalie, starting a eight year war. The two of them were so focused on their petty squabble, only Riner was worrying about the rest of the kingdom.
The Gauls were coming back, stronger, smarter, and deadlier than ever. Using the avians and the remains of the furries and scalies, Riner defended the kingdom against the Gauls. By using renowned tactics, he was barely able to win against them, but he did. Not only was he victorious, he also had the idea to create a treaty with the Gauls. They had wanted the kingdom due to its great spot for trade. As long as Camelot allowed them to carry out trade, there would be peace.
The rest of the kingdom noticed this and abandoned Walter and Cragtor as their representatives. Riner was now the most liked general and he was crowned in 1345. He ruled the kingdom fairly until he passed his crown to his son, Arthur.
As for Walter and Cragtor, no one knew what happened to them after Riner was kinged. All they knew was that the feud between the furries and scalies still existed. Perhaps they themselves were fueling it. We will never know.
And that’s why I love history.

So who are your favorite artists?
I've been an inactive and lazy fur for a long time, and I think it's time to stop lurking and start being active. Who would you recommend to draw/paint my fursona? What advice do you have for the commission process?

Are there any SFW chats around here?
Hello! I used to be part of a chat, but, uh... it ended up as a NSFW chat that I didn't like. But I miss being part of a civilized chat! So is there any that I can join? Thanks in advance!
(P.S. It's not that I don't like NSFW things, but I'd prefer to have them private)
