Upcoming furry comics for December 2009 (Previews only)
Posted by Treesong on Tue 10 Nov 2009 - 17:03Nothing special this month, which may be why I'm two weeks late posting this. (Though Zuma addition is a likelier reason.) I got the four anthologies with the *Beasts of Burden* stories from the library; pretty good. Maybe they'll extract them into a collection; I'd buy it.
BBC News writes article about furries
Posted by Alexander Grey on Fri 13 Nov 2009 - 06:55BBC News, one of the most trusted news providers in the world has written an article describing the furry fandom in it's 'Magazine' mini-site.
The article, published today, aims to describe the furry fandom to a largely unaware public following the conviction of Christopher Monks and Shaun Skarnes earlier this year.
The article, similar to an earlier BBC effort, Anna in Wonderland: The Furries, has been seen as a fair and unbiased description of the fandom. It features quotes from a number of furries including TaniDaReal and FurteanTimes' own TheChainedWolf.
Update (November 13, 2009): noodleshusky's original article expanded by AlexGrey.

Quentin 'Cubist' Long here with three (count 'em, three) special announcements. One of this trio of news items is about the latest issue of ANTHRO, of course, but I'll do the other two first, for reasons which should be clear when you read them. You see, ANTHRO Press has just published two new books...
Flayrah Closing
Posted by Frysco on Fri 27 Nov 2009 - 19:55I'm sorry to announce that as of December 8th, Flayrah will be shutting down.
Over the past few years the site has seen a fall-off in traffic as story submissions and readership have dropped, as people go elsewhere for their Furry related news.
At MFF last weekend, I talked over the situation with Aureth, who first launched the site and still owns the domain, and we agreed that the writing has been on the wall for a while.
So, once the domain expires we will no longer be renewing it, and this site will become unreachable.
To those that have supported and contributed to the site in the past, thank you.
