Don't worry, you didn't miss Chapter Three if you've been following this, I'm just a dummy and I started the story with a "Prologue" that later became "Chapter Zero" and now for simplicity I've renamed it "Chapter One", so now you can say "The second chapter" and actually mean Chapter Two.

Quiet Falls in its entirety.

It took me a long while to write this mostly because of me being a lazy ass who didn't feel like writing for a bit there. I'll try to get another chapter out sooner to make up for it, but I'll have to see what I feel like doing. I don't want to get burnt out, because, you know, that'd be bad.

Also, you might've seen where I started streaming recently. I'm not sure how much writing on this story I'll end up doing in those streams, but I just wanted to let you guys know I do actually write in those streams. And I talk about things. And answer questions. And other stuff. I mean, I'll do that out of streams, but if you wanna hear it with extra swearing and in my voice, then there's your opportunity.

"Hey, can anyone draw my fursona for free pls" DAMN STRAIGHT It's time for a limited selection of peeps to get a drawing of their fursona's exceptionally handsome face! I could draw 2, 3, 7, 42! OR NONE AT ALL! There's only one way to find out! And that's by asking in the comments!
Edit: I knew I'd get a handful of comments but rest assured I'll be working on them throughout the next few days. I'll do my best to respond to as many comments as I can! Some may just be later than others... like, days later.

Edit 2: There's 15 requests left after today (or at least that's how many there were when I counted) and I'm gonna try and do'em over the following week, so just you wait you guys. I probably can't handle anymore requests for now so if you're new to this thread I'm gonna have to apologise and say that you'll have to wait 'till next time.

As my name implies, I'm a Miacid, the common ancestor to canines and felines. Who else has fursonas are either extinct or endangered species?

I guess it's good to preface myself and my current interactions with the community. I've been on the fringe looking in for a while. I have my own tastes and ticks, and my interaction with the community is one of appreciation rather than... well, community.

I have my own circles that I interact with, and it's safe to say I've rarely had issues interacting online. With the furry community, I just take in art and quietly go about my own thing. But lately I've wanted to chat to people and get involved, and I guess I've come here to see a general discussion on the community itself.

How did others find their experiences on finding like-minded individuals? I've found there's a wall, moreso distrust of recent people. I think it's understandable considering that the furry community doesn't really want to draw the attention of the public eye, so places to communicate and safely express themselves aren't readily thrown across the place.

How easy have people found it to build a Fursona or identity? This seems very key, especially as the advantage is people being identified through a unique fursona, rather than race or creed. It's something absolutely fascinating, but it's limited by artistic ability and also some connection. I've found that I appreciate designs, but have yet to explore anything close to something that speaks ME. As a graphic designer, it's interesting how I've ran into this wall.

For a general end, what were people's experiences as a newcomer? Were their troubles or great things? Was it relieving or did you find yourself still a little hesitant for a while?

Thanks for the time Fletch

Although I am a furry,I cannot say that I am fond of full body fursuits...I mean like if it was part fursuits,like head paws and tail only,It wouldn't be that much of a problem,but full body fursuits...I cannot say I would be okay to wear it...but I can't say I don't like people who wear those...What's your view on this?:-/

Since the last one was such a success, I've decided to make another one. (And also Pinefoot bribed me with gift art!) I've been on Twitter for over a month now and it's been super fun! I'd 100% suggest getting a Twitter account if you haven't already.

Please leave your @username below! It would be super helpful if you could link it like this too:

[@username](http://twitter.com/@username)

The first megathread can be found here. Feel free to leave your Twitter here again even if you already contributed to the first one! https://www.reddit.com/r/furry/comments/3didep/rfurry_twitter_account_megathread/

Lately life has been full of these weird little coincidences. Last week I started on what I’ve been jokingly calling a super-secret project for another website at the encouragement from one of it’s other contributors. Part of this was writing about the web comic Furpilled. Drawn by Leo Magna it’s a delightful anthropomorphic slice of life comic featuring a colourful cast of LGBT characters in Santa Monica, California. Focusing on the everyday exploits and romantic lives of this group of friends, it ran for eight years, won an Ursa Minor Award and ended in 2011. In the upcoming article I encourage people to check it out, making the claim that it still deserves some attention after all this time, and sang the praises of his new comic Perception.

The very next day, after a four year hiatus he sends out a message that Furpilled will be back, with both comics alternating and updating once a week. Surprised and delighted by it’s return I got in contact with Leo Magna to talk about the sudden announcement and his plans for the future.

What’s been happening in your own life that has prompted you to revisit the world of Furpilled and How much of this was fans asking for more?

Well, when I decided to end the comic it was because it was at a good point to end it, and my life was about to get hectic. I was about to move across country for school, so I figured that it was time. All of the stories for the characters were converging to a point where it seemed appropriate to stop. Now that I am done with school and I have more time on hand, I figured that it could be a good time to re-start it. I get at least one message a week regarding the comic, so the fans asking for it is definitely a big factor for it.

Did you ever expect there to be such a dedicated fan base for the comic even after all this time, considering that you originally intended it to be only a handful of pages?

Honestly, no, I never thought that there would be such a dedicated fan base. To this day it surprises me. And I am really thankful for them. They are why I’m still drawing.

The series came to an end four years ago and tied up a lot of the loose ends and story-lines. Did you want this to be a definitive ending at the time, or was it always your intention to write more stories with the characters? Will it be picking up where it left of or four years later?

Because Furpilled is a slice-of-life comic, there are always stories to tell. The stories really will never end until I decide to drive all the characters off the cliff.

Time has passed, yes. So there will be a time gap for Husky and the gang. This new series will pick up four years after we last saw the gang, and we get to see where they are now. The majority of the stories will take place four years after, but some of them will be from that gap.The previous ending was appropriate for the problems that the characters were facing then. Andy and Indigo starting up as a couple, Husky and Saetto getting over their exes and start trusting each other, Chris letting go of his past and ending a bad relationship.

Out of all the cast, is there a character you would like to develop more in the new run that you didn’t get a chance to originally? Is there any character you feel more confident in writing after this time away from them?

For this new series I want to focus more on Husky, Andy, and Indigo. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but I think their stories will be interesting because they will be so opposite. I’ve always liked contrast like that.

In Furpilled the characters, although they had difficulties and low points,always had a strong supportive social group. What led you to want to explore the other side of this with Perception? Which side have you experienced the most in your own life?

The strong social circle that all the characters in Furpilled have is based on my own circle of friends. After having moved away from them, and after so many years in the LGBT community, I started to realize just how lucky I was to have them all. I never felt out of place with them because they were all equally as eccentric as I am. Very few of them were “straight” in the strict sense of the term, so my sexuality was never really an issue. When I started Furpilled, they definitely were my inspiration, so while we touched on the subject of coming out, we never really had stories for that.

All the characters in the comic are openly gay (or bisexual) and older in age than the characters in Perception. Perception is meant to explore what it’s like to come out, and discover that you’re not the only one out there that’s different. There is also this added pressure that Joe feels to want to have his fraternity brothers perceive him as a regular guy, because he thinks that they are all just regular guys. But that’s the funny thing, there is no such thing as a “regular guy”. That’s where we start in the story, with Joe waking up from a drunken one night stand with another guy, and immediately regretting it.

The landscape in terms of LGBT in America has changed substantially in the last four years since Furpilled ended. Although still not fully accepted at large, there has been progress with marriage rights and such. Will any of this play into the comic and to what degree? Are there any particular changes you would like to explore?

Oh gods yeah! Can you believe it! four years ago I couldn’t get married, and how here I am thinking about dinner for my husband! It’s crazy! And it’s not just here, all over the world things are changing. It’s a great time to be alive. These new chapters will definitely touch on that. I don’t want to give too much away as far as ideas go, but count on marriage and transgender issues coming up.

The cast is made up mostly of LGB characters, with Ian being non gender binary. Have you ever considered including a trans character in the comic?

Well, I don’t think this was expanded much in the comic, but Ian’s ex (she shows up briefly) is transgender, so the thought was always there. As for these new stories, spoilers, Yes.

What else in terms of mainstream or furry comics are you enjoying right now?

Neil Gaiman picked up Sandman again, and I can’t tell you just how much I love that. As far as furry comics, Circles just ended last January, and it broke my heart. There are a couple of online comics that update on FurAffinity that I like to keep up with, Seattlefur by RainYatsu, and Deceit by Mad-Dog.

As with other story titles in Furpilled this one is derived from a song? Are there any clues we could glean from listening to the Goldfish track?

Yes, Goldfish – Choose your own Adventure. And no, there aren’t any clues, really. I love to listen to music when I draw, so I put on random songs. For every chapter, though, a song will come up that just resonates with the theme of the story. Then I proceed to listen to it on a loop until I’m done with the chapter.

Both Perception and Furpilled will be updating exclusively through Leo’s Patreon Page. The first four volumes of Furpilled can be read online or purchased from Sofawolf Press

Hello all! I'm just a curious passerby and had a few questions for you.

One of my first guilders was a furry (I think), and seemed pretty cool. I've also known a couple in college and met one at an anime convention. I would like to get inside of your heads, if possible.

First off, I would like to say I come here without any intent of bad-mouthing you guys. I know that, at large, many people look down on furries for some reason, which to me is bizarre because every furry I've met has been really nice, and even a little shy. Have you had good experiences with being accepted by your friends and family, or did it strain your social life after revealing your preferences? Have you yet revealed you preferences?

I remember back, during my childhood, two video games that distinctly stood out with anthropomorphized animals, being Star Fox Adventures [Krystal], and Chrono Cross [Lynx]. I'll admit, I found those characters really cool! In fact, anthropomorphized characters permeated a lot of my creative writing as a kid. When did you first realize you were a furry? Was there a certain, specific instance when you first noticed it?

People have had animal gods and have imitated animals for centuries, even since the beginning of written history. The roman emperor Nero, for example, would dress in the skins of animals and ravage people whilst growling (terrible example, I know, because Nero was objectively a horrific and cruel human being). Do you think that furries have always existed, and if so how do you suppose they've affected history?

Thank you guys for your time and consideration. I wish you all the best.
