Dogpatch Press recently published an excellent post compiling FWG member Fred Patten’s book and film reviews as well as his articles on furry fandom history. As it’s relevant to furry writers and readers, I find it well worth reblogging here.

Originally posted on Dogpatch Press:

Discussion of the history of furry fandom with Fred Patten, at ConFURence 9.

Fred Patten is the most valued contributor at Dogpatch Press.  He came here during editor down time at Flayrah, seeking a stable place for his reviews and history articles.  (For those who aren’t acquainted with Fred’s impressive resume as a fan historian and curator, he has spent a lot of the recent decade in a convalescent hospital.  Writing is a major benefit to his life and a good cause to support.)

• The “Fred Patten” tag has everything he has contributed here.  

Without Fred’s guest posts, there would be no five day a week schedule here.  Assisting and formatting his articles takes a lot of work, and five days a week makes a very demanding pace.  But I think the promise of regular content should inspire anyone who contributes.  It makes this the most active “Furry News” source.  It’s all non-profit, so…

Hello! I just was curious if there are any other furs here like myself who identify as gender fluid. A little bit of quick background for those who don't know, gender fluid is a gender identity where the person identifies as different genders at different times depending on mood, setting or just a natural rhythm that happens to appear.

So, if any GF furs are out there, hi! Nice to meet you! Thanks, and stay floofy!

Sanjay and Craig is a popular animated TV series on Nickelodeon, following the adventures of (you guessed it) Sanjay (a human boy) and his pet snake, Craig (who talks — but only Sanjay is supposed to know that). Well now Paperkutz (home of Geronimo Stilton and family) have released the first Sanjay and Craig tie-in graphic novel, Sanjay and Craig: Fight the Future with Flavor! “Does your neighbor have butt implants and a blueberry obsession? Can your best friend do ANYTHING without barfing? Welcome to Lundgren, where Sanjay Patel and Craig Slithers have the most rad-awesome adventures imaginable. From their collection of fart jars to their shared love of chicken wings, Sanjay and Craig are more than a boy and his pet snake… they’re family! Ready for the ride? Buckle up your fart baby and grab some napkins because Sanjay and Craig are about to douse you in awesome-sauce. NOICE! See you at the Frycade!” Did any of that make sense to you? Then you might want to have a look at the Paperkutz preview page. Fight the Future with Flavor! is out now in hardcover and trade paperback.

Referring to this https://www.reddit.com/r/furry/comments/3ky5sj/taking_more_writing_requests_anybody_wanna/

I'm still thinking about it, I didn't forget. I've been having trouble finding the motivation to write anything, and in the last thread for requests, there just wasn't anything that I felt I could write properly. I don't want to put out a bad story just for the sake of getting it done, I want to take pride in what I'm writing.

/u/ArgentStonecutter's writing prompt is the only thing I'm currently working on aside from my story Quiet Falls. Since that writing prompt was deserving of a full length book, I decided I'd do it in multiple chapters, but I don't know how long it'll be until the first chapter's out. I have two pages and that's it right now.

I hate it that I keep running into motivation problems, running into schedule problems, getting tired because of lack of sleep, hitting a dry spot in my otherwise overflowing pool of ideas. It sucks. And I have to take the blame for it, too, because most of the time it boils down to the fact that I can write, but I don't want to.

I hate spending hours each day doing literally nothing but breathing, when I should be writing my ass off. I had nothing to do today, I could've written the next chapter to Quiet Falls, but instead I erased six paragraphs I already had written and replaced them with two shorter ones, erased those, and replaced them with two sentences, then erased that and closed the document. That took me nine hours to do.

By comparison, I wrote the entirety of Chapter Six of Quiet Falls in one 5 hour burst.

I have so much that I want to write, I have something like the next 17 books planned out in my head, but I just don't want to write them. I hate how long this takes, I hate how I can only find the motivation to write at the EXACT MOMENTS I'm not at my computer.

It's not like there's anything else I want to do. I only play video games for some of the day, I still have several hours to be writing. I don't watch movies or TV. I don't like reading (ironic). I have no one to roleplay with. I just don't want to do anything.

Half the time I want to sleep, the other half of the time I don't want to sleep because I'm so worried I'm wasting my time. I spend so much time making sure I don't waste my time, I end up wasting my time.

I almost want to say I'm depressed, but I know that's not it. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with me and I'm just a lazy shit.

I don't know what exactly I'm expecting to hear back. I don't know why I made this post, other than to say I'm sorry that I'm an incompetent writer who can't write. I know that free things are free and nobody expects perfection, but I'd feel like a douchebag if I didn't say something.

How old are y'all? Idk why, but I'm curious as to how old all you fuzzies are, and to see the range of ages we have in the fandom.

So please, share your age if you don't mind! U realize this is a sensitive question in polite company so feel free to decline if you so desire.

Also, if you wanna, tell meh your gender identification, if you have one :D

I just get curious about random things, so pardon me if this is a pointless exercise!

I'm 19 and I'm male, btw, just to answer my own question.

Stay classy my fellow fuzzbutts o7
