Hey, I was just wondering. If you could re-write any classic story, fable, or fairy tale as a Furry interpretation. What species would the famous characters be portrayed as?

Here's my thoughts.

Cinderella: Kangaroo. Because of the feet.

Sleeping Beauty: Maybe a sloth because she sleeps so much?

Robin Hood: Magpie maybe. Because they like to steal things (Sorry Foxes)

Pinocchio: Would a Woodpecker or a Beaver be too Ironic?

Snow White: Arctic Fox... Y'know... Because "white"

Pecos Bill: A wild horse... but still raised by coyotes.

Little Red Riding Hood: A cobra... because of the hood. (It might be funny)

Aladdin: I'm thinking maybe a Dhole or a Jackal. or if you want to go with the cliche, a Street Rat.

The Bremen Town Musicians: 4 Humans.

And that's all I can think of for now. Do any of you fuzzbutts have any other ideas?

I get that a lot of peoples 'sonas are just anthro animal versions of themselves, but for those of you who treat them as a unique character as well (like me), what sort of backstory, if any, do you assign? Is it always the same, or changes depending on the setting? I'm curious.

Sure we choose to be foxes and cats because we like them.

But what if it wasn't your choice? Consider your family's origins and locations. What would be your fursona if it was based on the local fauna of your ancestors? Hybrids applicable.

ex. you are from the northpole, thus your options would be penguins, walrus, polar bears etc.

K so my attempts at making a cool alliteration, eh. 4/10 at best.

http://original.livestream.com/aurora_sareii?t=495777

Anyways, doing a commission, an art trade, some monster stuff, and possibly requests later. Looking to run about 4 hours today so I'm sure I can get a couple requests somewhere in there.

EDIT: NSFW WARNING AS OF 1:07PM MST.

EDI2: Stream is offline, thanks all who came....and partook in..............wow.

Thanks for commenting everyone! It helped a lot!

SO.... I'm a bit new to reddit. And I'm comfortable asking this here because so far everyone I've met on /r/furry has been really nice and great! I suspect that if I asked this in other places I'd get some backlash (suspicious of reddit in general ahaha)

So my question is.... Why do people downvote nice things? I noticed on a lot of really cool stuff that there are like 30 votes but only 80% upvoted or something like that.

I understand if it's super offensive or just outright shitty behavior but... why downvote something that's absolutely fine?

Am I missing the point of downvoting entirely? I feel at a loss here.

Hey all,

I'm the developer/programmer for Furvilla - an online furry game launching in July. This seemed like the most appropriate place to do an AMA/infodump thing about the game for any fans.

A quick info dump to explain the game (lots of people don't know what it involves) as follows:

What is Furvilla? It's kind of like furry Gaia Online/Neopets, or Flight Rising (in that it's NOT a 3D virtual world). You belong to one of our starting five villages (Olde Foxbury, Dragon's Maw Manor, Quetzal Palace, Oceandome, or Tiger Eye Peak), and you take the form of an anthropomorphic villager (our starting species right now include Wolf, Fox, Cat, Horse, Rabbit, and Dragon) with a job.

Jobs are crucial to the game, as each job relies on each other. For instance, Explorers go out and forage the area around the village for items that they can sell to other villagers (e.g. they can sell plant items to Herbalists, wood items to Builders, and so on) whilst Warriors protect the village from the dangerous animals nearby, and Doctors cure any villagers that have become ill.

There are also Alchemists (that make special potions, e.g. a potion to change your villager species, or restore health for Warriors, and so on), and Herbalists (that grow plants that Alchemists and Doctors need for their potions and medicines), Blacksmiths to make weapons and armour for Warriors, Crafters to make cool items, Tailors to make new costumes for villagers, Builders to build houses for villagers, and Animal Husbandry folk who breed animals as mini pets for villagers to adopt.

All in all, there are 10 careers to choose from, and each is vital to the game. Not enough Doctors in your village? Illnesses won't be cured as quickly. Not enough Warriors? Dangerous animals will approach the village, leaving everyone feeling stressed and unprotected.

You can unlock up to 10 villagers to play with (so in theory, you could have one villager for every career), and upload your own custom designs to personalise your villagers.

Village identity is a strong component of the game, too. Certain items will only be found in each village, so you'll have to build up ties to the other villages if you need an item for your villager that can only be found in another villager (e.g. by trading with another villager, or buying it from a villager's shop, etc.)

We want the game to have depth for people who'll invest a lot of time and effort into it, whilst also remaining accessible for people who may only have 10-30 minutes a week to play. I think we've struck a good balance for now.

I hope that's helped shed some light on what Furvilla is.

Don't go too wild with the questions now ;)

Hi I'm a sixteen year old scalie and I am new to the fandom. So the reason I'm posting to reddit is because I live in Alaska and don't know any furries. If anyone has any advice on how to find local furs it would be very helpful. Here is a link to my DA if anyone wants to see my fursona http://bassdragon09.deviantart.com/art/Demitri-the-Alaskan-dragon-512726852?ga_submit_new=10%253A1432985199&ga_type=edit&ga_changes=1
