The Chicken Go Book Book Book
And yet more animated book adaptations. We got this from Animation World Network: “Apple TV+ just released a trailer for its newest animated series, Interrupting Chicken, based on the 2011 Caldecott Honor-winning book series written and illustrated by David Ezra Stein. The preschool series introduces children to the joy of creative writing – starting with a little young chicken named Piper, who has a habit of interrupting story time! Every time Piper hears a story, she can’t help but jump in, ask questions, and let her imagination run wild.” The new series premiers on November 18th, and the trailer is up on line.

Witch Way to Go
Another professional character designer we met at Lightbox last month was Ainsworth Lin. Their personal animation project is called The Hedge Witch, and it goes like this: “The Hedge Witch follows the adventures of Adam, Misha, and Butters as they slowly unravel the mysteries in and around the sleepy town of Flatroot, Washington. Together, they investigate cold cases, encounter mythological creatures, and fight off supernatural entities.” Many of them not human but so, so interesting. Visit the web site to find out more about it — and other projects and designs they’ve worked on too.

No matter when we recorded this episode it'll always have gotten dumber when it releases. Thanks Musky.
This week, PoGo punching, Musky huskies own twitter, voice actors needing to be paid more gets the worst spokesperson, and a real journalist touches on a wild story of 'antis'. It's been a wild couple of weeks, huh?

Infurnity獸無限睽違兩年登場 淡水迎獸迷齊聚一堂
受到疫情影響而延宕,台灣大型獸聚活動——Infurnity獸無限時隔兩年在淡水福容大飯店再度舉辦。本屆活動以「多元宇宙Multifurse」為主題,邀請獸迷們展現多元宇宙中的自己,與參加者們一同共襄盛舉。本次活動也參照國外獸展,讓許多同好在活動上辦理自發交流活動(Panel),呈現出各樣多元的議題供獸迷們交流與分享。

本屆獸無限活動並非沿用「戲獸台灣」,而是以「多元宇宙」為主題。

開幕式現場擠滿參加者。
本屆獸無限雖間隔兩年才重新舉辦,卻仍吸引到不少獸迷同好前來。根據官方統計,本次活動共有1274人線上報名,加上活動兩日現場報名人數一共有1588位參與者,打破第五屆的總參加人數1204人。活動首日開幕,官方結合台灣防疫記者會與多元宇宙的概念,由主辦人JC以不同風格的獸裝在台上進行開幕記者會宣布參加人數與活動事項,並由毛毛橘醬擔任「手語老師」,為開幕式增加亮點。開幕活動部分因為老毛發表報名人數過少而取消,而新毛發表與無線展演秀的精采表演,也吸引台下所有參加者目光。


開幕式結合時下議題與多元宇宙主題,打造開懷一笑的開幕式。



本次共有數十位新毛首次亮相。

本次活動開放讓獸迷同好申請舉辦自發交流活動,相關活動共有32場,內容從跳舞、新遊戲試玩、講座經驗分享等應有盡有,出發觀點更是十分豐富。例如由獸友夜郎兒舉辦的健康講座,是出自於主講者發覺有認識的朋友因失去健康而無法再一起同樂,因此希望藉由講座來提倡身體健康的重要,才能跑場次跑到第30屆;由獸友澍星主講的講座,則是關注在集郵、交換明信片等,並分享其自身經歷。除此之外,正蓬勃發展的VTuber產業,這次活動中也有帕洛特、沃夫曼等知名實況主分享實況的心路歷程,更吸引眾多獸迷前往聆聽。

活動兩天因天候不佳,毛毛們都以室內互動為主,讓參加者們與前來活動飯店的一般民眾都駐足與毛毛們互動。不過經典活動「毛毛大遊行」仍正常舉辦,按照往例圍繞著淡水漁人碼頭進行,讓路過民眾與參加活動的同好紛紛拿出手機或相機,記錄下這毛茸茸的療癒時刻。


參加者們與各式各樣的毛毛們拍照互動。
官方在本屆活動也增加了許多新項目,例如首次舉辦文學類投稿、回憶獸無限活動等,致力讓不同領域的獸迷們也能發揮自己所長。官方也將往年要手持場刊的蓋章集點活動改為線上集點,讓參加者們用手機就能集點換取限量贈品。

首次舉辦的文學投稿,官方在現場提供紙本讓參加者們翻閱。

獸迷們在塗鴉區聊天,並在紙上畫下到此一遊的紀錄。
本次活動的創作攤位販售會,因疫情影響較多為台灣本地的創作者與工作室擺攤,各式各樣的商品與創作,吸引許多獸迷即使要淋雨排隊也想入場購買商品,並支持創作者們。

即使外面下雨也不減獸迷們的熱情,有秩序地排隊進入販售會。


販售會現場有許多工作室與眾多商品供人選購。
兩日晚間的音樂活動分別由Time Travelers和ICE、3R2、Jeff Hazama三位DJ來分別舉辦樂團表演與DJ熱舞趴。首日由帕洛特、Roan等多位獸迷組成的樂團Time Travelers在舞台上演唱,歌曲較多以中文、台語為主,並穿插如《けものになりたい!》、《怪物》等知名外文歌曲,炒熱台下氣氛;活動最後一天晚間的DJ熱舞趴則由三位DJ輪流上台,並以雷射等燈光效果「HIGH」爆參加者的心。


樂團 Time Travelers 帶給台下觀眾們優質的音樂饗宴。


官方邀請三位知名DJ炒熱氣氛。
本次公益抽獎活動的獎項豐富,讓參加者們趨之若鶩前往投下自己手中的摸彩卷,官方也在閉幕式上公布本次的捐款金額為14萬2百元,並表示將全數捐給台灣猛禽研究協會,致力讓台灣的猛禽研究、推廣與救助都能更加順利。


本屆公益抽獎獎項眾多,從工作室作品到各獸展提供獎項都有。

官方也將本次活動的九塊立板作為獎品抽出。
此次獸無限的主題豐富性與內容都更勝以往,最後官方也在閉幕式影片上公告明年的活動主題,將是兩年前未能順利舉辦的「戲獸台灣」,且活動時間將長達三天,邀請世界各地的獸迷們一同來到台灣,參加這精采豐富的獸迷活動。

明年活動將為期三天,官方邀請大家明年一同在獸無限上相會。

Tick Trouble
I had huge amounts of ticks on my head recently. Should I be worried? I ask because I hear ticks can kill via Lyme Disease/Meningitis and other ailments. I think I might have an infestation, which means I need Zyklon B to fumigate my house. Who should I call to put that chemical into my house, fumigator wise?
Sergie
* * *
Hi, Sergie,
Well, well, this is not the type of question Papabear usually gets, but I'll tackle it! Thanks for giving me something different to discuss.
First of all, not all tick species carry diseases such as Lyme Disease. Also, ticks tend to stay outdoors (preferring to hang out in underbrush in humid areas waiting for an animal to pass by they can jump on). So, it is likely you got them outside and brought some in the house after they pounced you.
If you haven't yet, get them off of you. Since they are on your scalp, you likely could use some help. Have someone get tweezers and slowly pull the ticks off one by one. Do not twist or break the ticks but pull them in a straight line out of your skin. Once pulled out, flush them down the toilet (ticks are tough and hard to kill by crushing or stomping them, so use the plumbing).
Ticks, surprisingly, do not live long indoors. They typically can't stand the low humidity levels and die within a few hours. So, you don't need to fumigate your home. Instead, go around the house and vacuum and thoroughly clean EVERYthing. You can do this with nontoxic treatments. Sprinkle table salt or boric acid in places you find ticks; spray areas (and ticks) with dish detergent, rubbing alcohol, or bleach (obviously, don't spray bleach on fabrics). You can also use a solution of eucalyptus oil and water (four ounces of water with 20 drops of oil) to spray inside the house. Finally, if you want, you can try Wondercide flea and tick spray, which is supposedly nontoxic. Keep spraying until you are free of ticks.
Next, you should fumigate outside near your house. Wondercide also makes a product for outside use that is supposed to be safe for gardens and yards. You can also hire an exterminator, of course. A more organic solution is to first remove undergrowth, tall grass, shrubs etc. from near your home and then treat the area with sprays.
There are several organic sprays that are good for outdoor use. Eucalyptus oil (as mentioned above), cedar oil, and neem oil (neem is a type of tree that has a natural pesticide property--Nature is so cool). Because ticks like warm, moist soil and shrubby areas, you can use something called diatomaceous soil to kill them. This is a powder made of dried diatoms (tiny plant organisms) that are so dry that when a pest like a tick encounters this stuff it basically sucks all the moisture out of them and turns them into tick jerky. Very effective.
Do not fumigate your home unnecessarily. Especially with some toxic chemicals. Try these natural approaches first.
Hugs,

FWG Monthly Newsletter: November 2022
Another month down, and we make it through to November already! I hope everyone found a great new furry book to enjoy during Furry Book Month, either through our novel bundle (which might still be up for a few hours before I take it down after work, so get in quick if it is!), or through the content we shared over the month.
We also saw Oxfurred Comma a couple of weeks ago. For two days, we shared plenty of writing advice and information across a wide variety of topics. Every panel is available for viewing on our Twitch channel, so if there’s anything you missed, or something you want to watch again, it’s all there for you!
For the first time, the Furry Writers Guild ran a novel bundle, with 9 books provided by guild members for purchase. The proceeds from this bundle will be shared amongst the authors, with the guild also taking a cut for fundraising. This bundle appeared to go well, with plenty of sales at the $10 minimum price – and above! Thank you to everyone who purchased the bundle – I hope you enjoy all nine of your new books!
Of course, we want every year to be better than the last. If there is something you want to see from Furry Book Month or Oxfurred Comma, we would be very happy to hear it. This can include ideas for theming with any future book bundles, as we are certainly interested in running more in the future. The Furry Writers Guild is here to improve the reach and voice for furry writers – please let us know how we can improve this!
Before going into the usual market updates, we have a new publisher to highlight. Blackwarren Books is a new furry-friendly publisher with a strong focus on LGBTQ+ characters and authors. They are currently open for novel submissions, and will be included on our Furry Markets Page going forward. Please check them out if you have anything ready to submit.
The short story market has not changed much in the past month, but there is one deadline fast approaching! Check out the open calls here:
Empire of Beasts – Deadline December 1st
This Is Halloween – Deadline When Full
Furry Femdom Erotica – Deadline When Full
F/F No Erotic Anthology – Deadline When Full
Isekai Me! – Deadline When Full

Furry/Lovecraftian/Erotic/University Themed Anthology – Deadline When Full
#ohmurr! – Deadline: Ongoing
Zooscape – Temporarily closed for submissions. Reoccurring submission windows. Re-opening December 15th
Several of our members also have new works released recently or coming soon. Please consider supporting them by purchasing, sharing, and recommending the following titles! Some of these might make excellent Christmas presents, after all.
Tales of Feathers And Flames, edited by K. Vale Nagle. Featuring short stories from multiple FWG members. Released October 7th.
Shapers of Worlds: Volume III, edited by Edward Willett. Featuring a short story from FWG member Jess E. Owen. Released October 12th.

Thank you once again to those who participated in Furry Book Month and Oxfurred Comma. We hope you enjoyed the month.
Please send in any suggestions for what you’d like to see in the future.
Happy reading and happy writing!
Stay safe!

Truly Independent Animation
Happy Halloween — and blessed Day of the Dead! At Lightbox this year we came across a new animated project called Stormfellers, created by professional character designer Brookes Eggleston. At their web site there’s a YouTube video detailing the genesis of the story, and the world, and most importantly the characters. Stormfellers are “A rough and tumble gang of misfits protect their island from the ravages of constant monster-like Storms. There’s Aecious the Storm Conduit, Quilver the Quilled Marksman, Glangor the Heavy, and Biko the Field-Medic.” Brookes has even created a plushie toy of Biko the healer. There’s also a whole gallery of character designs from this and other projects.

Was He Right to Kick This Guy Out of His House?
I wanted to write this letter to inform that certain things have improved recently. As you can probably tell from the latter part of the letter, I do have issues to tell but things otherwise have improved in some meaningful capacity. I now have a volunteer job working in retail (food bank) and I’m really happy with the position and made new friends. Also, as of last year, I became an uncle. My sister’s baby boy is so precious to me. He’s turned 1 fairly recently and I cannot be prouder of him. I realised as I reread your response letter to me from 2020 that I’m simply not ready to be a dad. It’ll come unexpectedly but I only want to be the best I can be, learning from my own parents and of course, my nephew. But right now, being there for him is my priority.
Also, that horrible person who abused my mum was arrested after breaking AVO [Apprehended Violence Order, which is used to protect people against domestic violence] the following morning. I’m glad he’s out of my family’s (and my) life, but I’m left trying to cope with the last three years he’s been so abusive to my mum (and indirectly, my family). I was only indirectly affected (the night before he was arrested, I actually confronted the horrible man to get out and he did but I was terrified of him, I still felt the need to stand up to him and with a furious glare I told him to get out while my mum screamed at me to leave the room out of terror for my safety, but I claimed I wasn’t afraid of him, which was a lie), but the last three years left a mental scar on me which has left me trying to heal by talking with friends and being honest with my mum (also helping her with shopping), who finally cut ties with him for good. I hope he never returns as nobody in my family wants him around.
However, this is my question: was I stupid/reckless to confront him while trying to be brave while also trying to protect my mother and brother (he was also confronting him) knowing how cowardly and terrified I actually am, or should I have just not bothered out of a desire to live and to not be killed by that monster (he had no weapons but he was still dangerous having a terrifying abusive mental state)?
I understand this is a heavy question but I needed to know if I did the right thing. I have a disability (autism), but he has one, too, but that shouldn’t excuse his disgusting actions given how long this was occurring. Still, I don’t need potential PTSD in my life. A lot of horrible domestic abuse cases often end in either severe injuries or mostly death (I saw a lot of news reports of this and I hate how common it is), and I don’t wanna lose my mum due to my cowardice, so I had to be brave. Nobody got hurt physically, but I still feel stupid knowing he could’ve beaten me to death if he wanted to. The past three years have been rather traumatic. I just wanna know if I did the right thing or not. My nephew is one of my few bright spots in my life that remind me what is truly important: family.
I've really appreciated your helpful and kindhearted letters to me over the years, Papa Bear. I would appreciate it if you answered my letter soon.
Sincerely,
Sam the Dog
* * *
Dear Sam,
I'm glad you have finally extricated the problem from your family situation. It is a tough question you ask about whether you did the "right thing." If I were to give the standard police answer, then no, you should not have put yourself at risk like that and you should have tried to avoid violence at all cost, call the police, and let the police do the touch work for you.
In this bear's humble opinion, though, you did the right thing. You faced up to a bully, and he backed down. It worked. And you were brave to do it. And if you were scared, that just means you were even braver yet because, you see, the bravest man is the one who faces his fears and does what needs to be done. If you have no fear, then no bravery is needed.
Sometimes we have to dare to be brave because help is not on the way. The police are often busy or just don't show up. Sometimes, as you might have heard, they show up at the wrong place and kill or arrest the wrong person. Work within the law, but don't trust anyone, including the police. and know your rights. Hell, one time, the police wanted to arrest my mother on suspicion of killing my grandfather when he merely died in bed of natural causes. And they treated me like a criminal when I was trying to report a car accident (one in which I wasn't even involved). Another time, my house was robbed. The cops even admitted they thought they knew who did it, but they did nothing, and when I went to report missing items at the station, the cop was more interested in talking to his buddies about his planned summer vacation than taking my list of items stolen. I don't have a great history with police, and that's coming from someone who has never even committed a crime except for getting one speeding ticket. Sheesh.
Did you do the right thing? Is the jerk gone? Yes. Is your mother now safe? Yes. Are you okay? Yes. Given the evidence, I would say, yes, you did the right thing. You can't argue with good results. You have a right to defend yourself and your family, and you especially have that right when you are inside your own home. The law is on your side in this case, most definitely.
This is not to say you should always behave forcefully. Sometimes the situation calls for it, sometimes not. For example, just a few days ago, I was at the library and one of the patrons was being forcefully removed by a security officer. He was kicking the officer and yelling at her, but I stood to one side. Obviously, people were already there to handle the situation, and if I had tried to help I likely would have just been in the way or gotten myself injured.
I'm not clear as to what the guy did, specifically, that caused you to toss him out, unless you had just had enough, but then you got the police involved and they arrested him, so all's well.
Again, take things on a case-by-case basis. You knew this jerk for three years, so you likely understood that he was really just a bully, and all bullies are cowards. You assessed the situation, faced up to the bully, got rid of him, and then reported him to the authorities.
You're good.
Hugs,
Papabear

Furries and Fungus
Recently we made a trip to this year’s Lightbox animation industry trade-show in Pasadena, California. We met a lot of very cool and talented artists, including Shawn E. Russell. Here’s how her web site describes her: “Shawn is a wildlife and imaginative realism artist specializing in creating detailed depictions of animals melded with plants and fungi in symbiotic relationships… Shawn has worked with independent board game creators, food & beverage packaging, & private art collectors. She offers her personal work for sale online and at art fairs, comic/anime conventions across the US where she enjoys connecting with fans, collectors, and clients in person.” As you can see, the artist works a lot in highly detailed black-and-white. If you happen to find yourself in Terre Haute, Indiana, make sure to visit their personal gallery called Seek.

Same Canada?
The Oates & The Elphyne is the interesting title of a new full-color graphic novel written and illustrated by Michael Walsh (Comeback). The description goes like this: “The Oates family moves to their ancestral home in Newfoundland following a pair of tragedies.They arrive at their Grandmother’s house, where they reunite with their orphaned cousin. Shortly after arriving, Beth, the youngest sibling, is kidnapped by a dark creature. Her older siblings set out to find her and bring her back, finding themselves in the Elphyne—a magical world that exists between the ordinary world and the afterlife. In the Elphyne, the imagination of children has the power to shape everything around them. The children, along with some new allies, must travel through the Elphyne to confront The Dark King, a mysterious being whose arrival has started to corrupt the Elphyne in frightening and unexpected ways. It is up to Beth’s siblings to rescue her from his clutches.” Not mentioned in that description is the fact those “new allies” include an anthro bear and a winged fairy. It’s available now in hardcover from Humanoids.

Furry hypnosis is a sub-genre of furry content that has recently seen a stark rise in popularity on TikTok which hypnotizes the viewer into something, whether this is to fall asleep or to believe they are a furry. It’s typically done in the style of your average ASMR video in which the speaker whispers into a particularly loud and noise-sensitive microphone and begins to assure you that you are becoming a furry. The hypnosis part of the video is usually achieved through repeating soothing phrases that constantly affirm the type of hypnosis the hypnotist is trying to achieve like “you’re sinking into a warm bath of sunlight, falling deeper and deeper into your sleep”, or something like that.
While this may just sound like normal hypnosis, there’s a catch. The hypnotist is usually a live, motion-captured fursona (now better known as Furry VTubers) who moves around and waves their hands calmingly, you know, hypnotist stuff. However, sometimes, the hypnotist is a pre-recorded video of a fursona playing over a separate ASMR audio, there isn’t a super rigid definition of furry hypnosis currently.
Within the sub-genre of furry hypnosis, there are further sub-sub-genres that attempt to achieve different things. As mentioned before, some may attempt to put the viewer to sleep but the thing most often associated with furry hypnosis is hypnosis that attempts to turn the viewer into a furry or an animal. They obviously cannot make any physical changes to the viewer’s body, but the aim is to give the viewer animal-like compulsions such as (in the case of a cat), licking themselves and meowing.
Does Furry Hypnosis Work?As crazy as that last sentence may sound to some of you reading this, it’s yet to be proven/disproven because of how much it varies from person to person. It seems that people who are more open to the possibility of hypnosis are a lot more susceptible to hypnosis working on them. Some have reported feeling actual changes to their mental state after viewing furry hypnotist content such as getting the craving for certain foods or the aforementioned compulsion to lick themselves clean. Of course, “just trust me bro” isn’t exactly empirical evidence but it’s definitely a super interesting insight into the power of suggestibility in the furry fandom.

Who Performs Furry Hypnosis?What probably also doesn’t help the legitimacy of furry hypnosis or hypnosis in general really is the lack of qualification required to proclaim that you are in fact a hypnotist. Literally anyone can set up a camera and a mic these days and make content. This is a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, content creation is more accessible than it has ever been in history and can be done as a reliable source of income but on the other hand, it makes creating content intended to exploit people’s gullibility much easier to not only do but monetize as well.
However, there isn’t really much harm that comes out of furry hypnosis, so whether or not a person is an actual hypnotist is irrelevant. In fact, a lot of the furry hypnosis videos that you can find on YouTube and TikTok are made more to relax the viewer like any other ASMR video than it is to turn them into an animal. Some would even argue there is no such thing as a “real hypnotist” because hypnosis isn’t an exact science that can be reliably performed from person to person.
Does It Have The Same Effects On Everyone?We hate to rain on your parade but furry hypnosis does not work on everyone, in fact, it probably works on such a negligible, small population of people in the world, that it isn’t even worth considering how many people it affects. As mentioned before, hypnosis is so heavily reliant on the degree to which someone believes in it, so, to convince someone that may believe in hypnosis a little bit that they are in fact an animal and they now have the urge to make animal noises and behave like an animal would be a hard sell.
Having said that, it would seem that there are varying degrees of success with furry hypnosis. While some have experienced full-blown changes in behavior, others claim that for a few hours after the hypnosis they felt “different” as though they weren’t quite themselves. Others even attest to experiencing changes in their perception, even seeing other people as furries.

He has created over a hundred videos of varying lengths and has been consistently uploading since last year. His videos range from comforting cuddles ASMR to signing up for a furry convention ASMR. But most importantly he creates hypnosis videos as well. Other furry hypnosis channels include Darkwitt and Whispaw ASMR who make very similar content to furry asmr.
If you’re not in the mood for an hour-long investment of your time, there are also several furry TikTok pages that have recently been gaining some traction such as filththemutt which predominantly lipsyncs TikTok sounds to their fursona but has occasionally done brief furry hypnosis videos.
Is All Furry ASMR Hypnosis?Furry hypnosis actually only makes up a fraction of the furry ASMR content out there. Most furry ASMR content is made to comfort or soothe its listeners, as for hypnotizing the listener, you will probably struggle to find a great wealth of content because of how niche it is. With that said, pretty much all content creators who make furry hypnosis don’t do solely hypnosis videos but in fact do general furry ASMR and occasionally do furry hypnosis as well. Because there is such great overlap between hypnosis and ASMR it’s quite easy for these creators to pump out videos for basically nothing.

If you don’t know, erotic hypnosis is a method of hypnosis used to increase sexual desires. What doesn’t help the case of furries is that, if you watch any of the furry ASMR videos mentioned above, it does always feel like there is some sort of inherently sexual undertone to it because of the intimate nature of the videos. Not to worry though, while it definitely isn’t devoid of sexual implications, most furry hypnosis has no intention of being sexual.
