Cool T-shirts for partials?

Furry Reddit - Thu 10 Sep 2015 - 22:36

Hey so I need ideas for a cool partial t-shirt, anyone seen something worth sharing? Also maybe if there's another fur that makes custom t-shirts, I know there is plenty of services out there that do custom stuff but what about inside the fandom?

How Patreon saved Nerd Rock, and lots of new projects

Nerdcore is one of my favorite musical “genres,” if it can be properly called that. I guess I’m more a fan of Nerd Rock, which steps out of hip-hop and into quirky female voices, chiptunes, video game remixes, but for the most part Nerdcore’s umbrella covers all that. The rhymes are clever, the snark flows like fine wine, and once in a while, there are ponies.

For a few years, when life got me down, I turned to my good friend Z, whose podcast “Hipster Please” made a painful administrative assistant job into something survivable. Until, like a Joss Whedon series on Fox, he folded. Not enough time, too many other projects, not enough energy.

hipsterpleaseI was so very thrilled to see him return to podcasting in Hipster Please 2.0, a tumblr-driven series that’s part of the Geekdad Network. At the heart of this was a Patreon, set up as a means to fund a community.

I love Patreon, I really do.

In a not unrelated note, Matthew Ebel, granddaddy of pan-fandom music, mentioned on FA that he’d be moving to Patreon as a funding model, but I’m not talking about Ebel right now. Ignore everything I’ve said about Matthew Ebel, click no links, that’s a different conversation.

geekdadInstead, check out the great music on Hipster Please, the old stuff is a lot of fun and the new stuff is fresh and absolutely worth the listen. And join me (and John Kovalic, huh) and in funding great nerd music and the Geekdad network through Patreon. Looking forward to years of geeky tunes. Thank you, “Z”!

I'm back. And I owe all of you an apology.

Furry Reddit - Thu 10 Sep 2015 - 22:08

What started out as a simple attempt to learn how to make music in FL Studio, turned into full-on music 'pirating' so to speak. And, after what had happened in the comments and such, I realized only then that I wasn't 'creating', but simply stealing other people's hard work. Now. It took me a lot of courage to post here again, (because I was afraid that people would yell at me again) but I have something new.

Well, ALMOST something new. I have a couple tracks done. I did do a bit of sampling as far as using midi files, but that's what the whole bit of the demo album is. The rest of the songs (Which are still in development) are all gonna be on me.

Thank you for staying with me so far. Also! My friend Cyril (he's a fox) made an EP called Fox Tunes, also on the bandcamp. He did everything. So, if you're feeling like it, give the music a listen. I don't care either way. I just wanted to redeem myself for what happened. Downvote me all you want. I'm back and I'm proud that I have something I can say is my own.

(Keep in mind, all the songs are in 'beta' state. The finished products will not sound too much like they are right now. Grief is still being made, but I wanted to put it up because I think it sounds good. If you guys have suggestions for what you want out of the album, let me know! I'm happy to take ideas and such.

Again, thank you. <3

RAWR 2016: A workshop for furry writers

Furry Writers' Guild - Thu 10 Sep 2015 - 19:01

rawr logoFurry writers now have their own five-day workshop, the Regional Anthropomorphic Writers Retreat (RAWR), to be held in the California Bay Area in January 2016 (ending on the first day of Further Confusion).

From their website:

Come spend five days writing and critiquing stories with other furry writers from across the world! The workshop will be led by Kyell Gold and may feature special lectures from other published furry writers.

This is a great opportunity for you to meet and bond with a small group of other writers in the fandom, a relationship that can continue beyond the workshop for years to come.

Welcome to an intense, thoughtful, enjoyable visit. We hope to see you there!

. . .

During the five-day workshop, you will read and critique your fellow workshoppers’ stories, write and edit your own, and have some time to talk one on one with the workshop leaders about your goals and challenges in writing. The workshop also includes instructional sessions from experienced guest writers (subject to availability).

RAWR 2016 will be limited to 6 participants. The application deadline is October 5, and the application, as well as more information about lodging, travel, and cost of the workshop, can be found on their website. You can also follow them on Twitter at @RAWRWorkshop, and there’s a thread on our forums where the organizers are answering questions.

A good day to #sendhugs to a friend – World Suicide Prevention Day.

Dogpatch Press - Thu 10 Sep 2015 - 17:15
Does anybody want hugs?  This is a great day to ask your friends!  Especially those who do, but they’re afraid to ask.  Put a #sendhugs message out for them. Two people who deserve it are Fred Patten and David (Poppa Bookworm) for the amazing writing and assistance they give to make this blog. Hugging is such a “furry” thing. […]
