Just got out of back surgery and I'm in a lot of pain. Can I count on you fellow furs to cheer a guy up?

Furry Reddit - Sun 24 May 2015 - 13:00

Yep. I just came home from surgery and I feel like somebody went to town on my back with a baseball bat. I thought I'd reach out to you guys to see if maybe you could use the secret power of floofyness to help get me through it. Anything the good furs at /r/furry can say or do to bring a smile to this poor dog's face?

Edit: You guys are just awesome. I never thought I'd get this much support and I'm incredibly grateful to all of you for helping to cheer me up during a hard time. It means so much, and I wish I could give you all a hug.

For those concerned about the clique-ness of the sub...

Furry Reddit - Sun 24 May 2015 - 11:25

That's how communities work. That's how EVERY group of people works. The ones who talk a lot, contribute a lot, and otherwise make their face known in a crowd are the ones that will be recognized among the others.

If you complain about it being cliquey, or you not being part of the popufurs, I urge you to talk more and be a part of the sub so it's not just those few regulars. GET INVOLVED. Literally any of you can do this...It's not hard.

I really want more people to talk more, it's fun seeing new folks around.

Trust me, I'd like to see you guys be a part of gift art way more than myself and the few others that are chosen, I'm honestly a little sick of it and uncomfortable because of the responses. But that's not our fault lol. What apparently was our fault was posting a lot.

Sorry about /rant but waking up to gift art, dreading clicking it because you're scared of what people say, and sure enough there are complaints about popular people, fuck it y'know?

Do Minors Need a Parent to Cosign for a Fursuit Commission?

Ask Papabear - Sun 24 May 2015 - 10:02
[Papabear notes: in this column Papabear made a goof about contract law (and it was a pretty stupid one, too *blush*, and I should have known better), which is pointed out by a nice reader in the comments below. This is a great example of how this column can work as a community and that I very much appreciate my readers' input because it makes "Ask Papabear" more helpful than if I just did this on my own. Thanks!]

Papabear,

I have been looking around for fursuit makers that allow a minor to have their parent cosign to get a fursuit, but can't find any. There are a few things saying minors cannot do commissions and a few others saying that it is just preference. I earned the money myself, though, so my parent wouldn't mind me spending it.

So my question is: Do you know of any good makers that wil do a partial suit for a minor or at least let the minors parent cosign?

Thanks!

Hi, Zazzy,

Commissioning a fursuit is not like going to a furcon, where you need to get an adult's permission or be accompanied by an adult if you are a minor. It's not like you are buying something naughty from Bad Dragon. It's just a fursuit. And if you have the money to pay for it, I'm sure most makers will take your money! 

The practice of cosigning is usually only done for loans in which the person applying for the loan has no collateral (or bad credit) and needs another person with collateral to secure the loan. When you buy a fursuit, however, it is cash or charge, not a loan, so cosigning really makes no sense.

Now, if the issue is you're not sure how to pay because you don't have a charge card or a bank account (you don't want to send cash through the mail!), then run your fuzzy butt over to your local post office and get a money order for your down payment. Money orders up to $500 are $1.25 at the and $1.65 for $501 to $1,000.

When commissioning a partial or full fursuit, Papabear recommend you get a written contract from the fursuit maker stating clearly what they agree to do for you and their refund policies. While this is a little unorthodox in the furry community (most makers just refer you to what is written on their websites, but I don't think that's enough, legally), I also recommend that you set a date for the fursuit to be completed (remembering that this might literally take years) and that you also make clear what happens if you are not happy with the completed product. Papabear has received a couple letters from unhappy furries who have been let down by fursuit makers. But the contract also protects the maker, stating that payment must be received at a certain time before the fursuit is delivered. Finally, get a receipt showing payment.

It's wise of you to get a partial, since you're only 14 and might do some more growing still, which might make a full suit a bit tight on you.

Happy Fursuiting!
Papabear

Another (Weekly?) Reddit Flair Thread!

Furry Reddit - Sun 24 May 2015 - 07:21

You know the drill.

Post your reference, and hope that I actually get them done. If not, then someone else will... I think.

What is your sona's party trick?

Furry Reddit - Sun 24 May 2015 - 05:40

It can be a special talent or just a little quirky thing they can do.

Eg:

  • "I can catch footballs with my antlers!"

  • "I can recite a Rick Astley song backwards and in 3 different languages!"

  • "I can defuse a bomb using only my tail!"

Magickal Mice

In-Fur-Nation - Sun 24 May 2015 - 01:59

Here’s how they describe it: “The epic introduction to Kaya and her brother Jak as she begins her journey into discovering the magic and mystery of their precious world, Silmay. In Boe, Kaya goes through the Trial of the Elder’s door and meets a special trusted ally. In Broodva, Valta discovers something new and troubling.” The front cover tells you a bit more perhaps. Tailwands has been an on-line full-color comic at Comixology for a while now. It’s written by Drew Crowder with illustrations by Morgan Rae Myers. Now Hashtag Comics have released the first set of Tailwands adventures as a graphic novel in paperback. Take a look over at Previews.
