I was just reminiscing about the days of Usenet and Alt.Fan.Furry ... essentially, before Reddit there was this thing called Usenet ...

It's been a long, long time ... and did I mention once owning a 300 baud modem? Yeah - 300 bytes per second. Attached to a Commodore Vic-20, which had 5 Kilobytes of memory. 1 Megahertz processor speed on an 8-bit system.

I suspect my roommate of being a furry. He loves FNAF and has a copy of Sly Cooper.

Doing requests again! Might color them this time. Going to start them in a few hours.

My style is inconsistent at the moment, so I apologize beforehand if some come out better than others. I'm trying to get better and figure out what I want from my style.

If you'd like one, please post a reference sheet and a description of what you want.

If I've done a request for you before, I might skip you, but then I might not, depending on how many requests I get. And I apologize beforehand if I don't take yours!

Will be posting them on to my FA: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/moondogg/

If I don't post anything for a few hours, I fell asleep and will start up again in the morning!

So, I'm new to the furry community (sort of, lurked for many years prior) and I'm still pretty closeted. I'm kinda broke, so what would you guys suggest for someone dipping their toes in and/or doesn't have a lot of money to spend? It does seem like an expensive hobby.

Author: Dear Papabear, I’ve been feeling a little disenfranchised with the Furry Community of late.  I have long defended it, stating that the stereotypes aren’t the majority. But recently I summoned up some guts to go to a local furmeet and each of the individuals there were so bizarre, so maladjusted, so stereotype-encompassing that I […]

Here is a short from the upcoming new Star Wars series. This new series takes place before Episode IV.

It’s quite possible that Mickey Mouse could well be that — though, of course, Bugs Bunny could also be considered a serious contender. Still, The Mouse has been around the longest, and author Garry Apgar decided to take a look what possibly accounts for Mickey’s world-wide appeal in a new hardcover book. “Since his modest debut in 1928, Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse has evolved into arguably the world’s most recognized and beloved fictional figure. Mickey Mouse: Emblem of the American Spirit is the illustrated biography of a unique cartoon character, his life and times, and his impact and influence around the world in art and literature. Part art history and part cultural study, Apgar’s Mickey Mouse narrates how the character was initially developed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, how his irrepressible spirit grew to huge popularity during the Depression, and how he became a politically charged cultural icon of international reach.” You can order the book at Midtown Comics. It’s coming later this month from Simon & Schuster.

My thinking is that, despite being the most connected generation ever, language still presents a barrier to people.

There are plenty of multilingual international furs. And I'd bet money that some furs are into language studies, and other fields where communication plays a key role.

It rankles a bit to think that the Trekkies have "Klingon", and some of the Middle Earth Larpers have "Elvish". We can do that!! I'd be surprised if there weren't a few on Reddit right now - in this very forum - who are conversant.

Why not a language of our own? Something that's computer-friendly, sign-friendly - not semaphore, exactly, nor nothing as tedious as morse code. Thieves' cant, for the furry-minded. So many historical precedents.

There are 300 or so essential words in a language, representing some basic concepts. Maybe a full language is far too much to expect (it is), but I think that we could develop a code for basic communication. A basic language. And it doesn't need to be just one. High and low draconian would do. Plus a language for the rest of you ... we can call it, "Common". I jest - I'd settle for just one furry language!

Maybe "Common fur" is a good start, ya know?

My first thoughts were a binary language ... but the image of dozens of Redditors rolling their eyes at my post at once flashed through my skull ... who am I kidding? The minute that I wrote "klingon" my monitor practically FELL OVER its back from the sheer dorkiness of it all ... I'm still jealous about the Klingons.

"a million eyes rolled back in their sockets ... and were suddenly silenced"

Because eyes don't make noise, you know.
