“Wolf Pack” Disrupts School – Causes Panic
Writing Prompt Wednesdays - Plagiarism edition!
Hello and welcome to this week's Writing Prompt Wednesday!
This time I'm doing a specific prompt for once. Usually I just do a "theme", but I think this would make for a very interesting story.
But I should note that I didn't come up with this prompt myself. I saw it on /r/writingprompts, here is the original thread. It was very upvoted but for some reason nobody actually wrote a story for it, which sucks because I thought it was an awesome prompt. Give all the credit to /u/Iamfunsized_ for this one!
This also is very different from most furry prompts, but we all like Five Night's at Freddy's, right? It'll be interesting to do something like this for a change.
As always, stories can be a maximum of 5 comments long, if you need to write more than 5 comments leave a link to an external site after your 5th reply. If you can fit it in under 5 comments, it's preferred that you just put it here. No erotica, swearing is fine.
Remember to leave suggestions for future Writing Prompt Wednesdays in the future, leave your suggestions as seperate comments!
Get to writing!

Childish vs. Childlike
Well... I'm writing you again for a reason completely different from all the mess that E was... and actually I decided to take any possible chance to spend time with him and have fun in any way possible; obviously, this will have to stop as soon as one of us or both of us get a couple.
Putting that aside... and it may sound stupid... but uh... well, as you know, I'm already legal here at my country, but I still don't look at myself as an adult nor a young adult... Weird thing, since I already experimented with adult stuff like sex, and I'd love to have some tattoos... But aside from that... alcohol? other "adult stuff"? I don't care for those things, and I'm still really childish at times. I'm not ashamed of that, just confused, since some friends look more adult than before... Their features have hardened, and according to myself I have changed nothing! I still have a round face, my smile is really childish at times... So my question here is: Is it wrong to try and have a childish attitude at certain stuff? or, as a lot of people says... man up?
P.S Sorry if the letter is too long nwnUuu
Thnx again for everything you do!

Dear Yang,
Embracing the child within all of us is rather at the heart of being a furry, in this bear’s opinion. Most furries, young and old alike, enjoy things that most “adults” have abandoned as being childish, such as TV cartoons, animated movies, comic books, and video games.
It is not “wrong” to still want to maintain that childlike fun in your life, but please do note the distinction between being “childish” and being “childlike.”
Childishness is about being immature, having temper tantrums when things don’t go your way, being selfish, being irresponsible, depending on others for basic necessities, refusing to work for a living, and so on.
But an adult who is childlike is someone who takes responsibility for him/herself, supports him/herself, and takes responsibility for his/her own actions, yet, at the same time, a childlike person enjoys fun, silliness, goofy stuff, and the joy of play. Such people don’t buy into the social pressures of “getting ahead” and “keeping up with the Joneses” (if you understand that expression in Mexico).
For the throngs of the many, being “adult” has to do with slaving away at a job to make more money, being concerned about promotions in the workplace, gaining the respect of their peers (even if they don’t like their peers), conforming to the standards of the group, and owning lots of stuff (the more expensive, the better). These are sad people who lack individuality and soul.
Many furries are rebels, rejecting “normal” society to join the culture of play and imagination and creativity.
It’s fine to be “childlike,” great even. But don’t be childish. Make sense?
Hugs,
Papabear

Cat vs. Television
Years ago, underground cartoonist Hunt Emerson made a name for himself with a comic strip known as Calculus Cat which… well, let’s just say it’s not about a cat who’s good at math. “”Calculus Cat’s home life is locked in an intense, argumentative relationship with his TV set, which bedevils him with commercials for Skweeky Weets – the world’s most asinine breakfast cereal. His ‘job’ is no better. He is forced to run thought the streets sporting his famous grin as The Public shout abuse and throw rubbish. His world is graphic, black and white, jagged, full in, weird, speedy and loud – everything a comic should be.” You heard it here. Long ago there was a compilation of Calculus Cat comics published, but it has long since gone out of print. Now after a successful Kickstarter campaign, Knockabout Comics have released a brand new expanded collection in trade paperback, featuring brand new pages and a collection of Calculus Cat art by the likes of Dave McKean, Gilbert Shelton, John McCrea, Kevin O’Neill, Kate Charlesworth, and Rian Hughes. Find out more over at Previews. The collection is in stores now.

One year.....
Morning UK furs, and I'm sure the US ones will see this in a few hours. So today is my cakeday, and I joined reddit only for /r/furry and then discovered the rest. Anyway, today marks my first year as a furry, and it's been pretty good. I made my fursona Milo: http://i.imgur.com/xA6CPpz.jpg , I've made a shitton of friends online and talking to all of you wonderful people helped me come out to my family. Furrys are in my opinion the nicest, coolest, and kindest fandom in the world and I love all of you. Keep it up guys!
Milo

Doing the FA tango; one step forward, two steps back
This is my sadsack introduction. Hi!
Hi. This is Aberration_One. I just wanted to greet this semi-dead sub. So, about myself. I've been an Internet denizen for around a decade now. I spent the majority of that time being mostly anti-furry. I mean, it's basically bestiality, right? They always use dumb emotes, they flaunt their fetishes in public, and seem to have no self awareness.
Then I started noticing I had an interest in the art. Then I noticed it was the Sodom variety I was interested in. Thus I fell into a horrible pit of self-loathing and denial, realizing how aberrational (hee hee) I was, being a furry and most likely homosexual. For the better part of a year, I stayed like that, staunchly avoiding anything that had to do with fur.
Have I come to terms with being a o-so-horrible furry? No. But I have completely given in to it, and here I am. It still gets to me, making sonas and going on chats. Well, got the boohoo stuff out if the way.
My sona has almost nothing special about it, due to how uncomfortable I am with making it. So: panda. Not too special not completely generic. No special markings, no superpowers, no sparklez. Giant panda, usually wearing a shirt and tie. Fairly cynical personality.
I have gotten a reference pic from a kind soul on 8chan, and I'll edit it in soon. Word of warning, he took my instructions to mean 'fat'. Doesn't matter, I think it looks good regardless.
So hello, /r/furry . You got me, now I'm a furfag! No turning back!
