I tentatively enabled link flair, I added some categories to choose from for posts and whatnot. I think you can add flair to your submitted links. I'm still sciencedog.jpg about this though.

And dragging along a redesign of my Fursonas. (I shudder when I say that word and I have no idea why.)

Basically I used to depict myself as Two Grey Wolf twins. One male, one female. Male on was the more derpy of the two, basically my every day self, and the female one was the more sensible, academic one that keeps me in-line. My conscience and brain really. But I decided that the Wolf didn't really suit me anymore. So I asked my friends and stuff, and we came to the conclusion (Somehow) that a Collie suited me.

So I drew them again as two Collies and took a crappy webcam photo because scanner does not play nice with pencil. They are called Randall and Petra and there is nothing special about them. =|

So, now that I realize you guys are still around, I was thinking, since i'm going to be getting a nice shiny linode virtual private server, why not host a news server? i could see about setting it up for binaries and letting my friends use it.

What do you guys think?

news.flufftails.se (or something) sound good?

Hey Papa Bear, I was wondering how I can become well known in the furry fandom, even though I won't be able to go to conventions or gatherings.

Dear David,

The goal of being a furry should never be to be “well known,” if you mean in the sense of being a popufur—that is, someone who wants to be famous and popular for the sake of being famous and popular and having their egos stroked.

On the other paw, if what you mean “well known” in the sense that you want to make a lot of friends even though you cannot for some reason go to meets and cons (lack of money, transportation, etc.), then that’s simple. As you must know by now, there are all kinds of places to meet and chat with furries online, including SoFurry, FurAffinity, MyFur, Furry4Life, and on and on and on. That’s how I started meeting furries and where I socialized for the first few years of my involvement in the fandom before actually meeting furries in person.

The other possible interpretation of your quick letter is that you are trying to get the word out about a furry business you might have. The two best ways I’ve found for doing that about this column is to advertise on furry sites and to have a Facebook page (you might also do Twitter, but Papabear really dislikes twitting).

Being furry should be about having fun! Don't worry if you are popular and well known. You have a whole world of imagination spread out before your paws--go explore!

Hope that answers your question! Bear Hugs!

Papabear

A game with characters like zorryn's + the oculus Rift = Oh my god i want this to happen haha

Author: jm I recently posted an article on [adjective][species], Furries & HIV, that I think deserves wide attention. The furry community hasn’t has a significant outbreak of HIV, but we’re being placed at risk by attitudes towards safe sex. I chatted with a HIV-positive furry (who was happy to be publicly quoted) and a furry [...]

hour long show, available to listen online.

Was broadcast on CT NPR on the Colin McEnroe show.


Generally positive. what does come up as negative does have a rebuttal.

Hey everyone. I don't think I've ever posted here but I had a question about fursuit construction.

I know there are a few suit makers out there who have a jaw that moves with the wearer when he/she moves theirs. Who, would you say, makes the best version of this piece?

My Sir, who has a bdsm gear company, wants to construct a hood for puppy play that has this feature :)

(Note: This is just my very, very subjective opinion, apologies to anyone I offend! Don't ever let anyone else dictate what your 'sona "should" look like.)

I guess I'm technically cheating, because I have two.

1) Human hair. I'm not talking about bangs, or an animal that already sorta has a mane or something, just amplified. I mean more like those pictures of an anthro housecat with a Marge Simpson hairdo or a wolf with rainbow liberty spikes. I try to imagine what it would look like in real life, rather than a cartoon, and it just looks so absolutely absurd I can't handle it.

2) Any time someone has a "likes" section on their ref sheet that includes the word "muffins", I immediately write them off as one of those obnoxiously hyper "OMG SOOO RANDOM LOOOOL" furs from high school.

Edit: Just remembered a third one: when people choose a specific species (this happens a lot with wolves, for some reason) and then their fursona's anatomy looks nothing like the chosen species. asdfkjllsajogpqhnhhqk wolves do not have gigantic ears and tails as long as their body, if you want a fox, just choose a frickin fox then

So, guys, am I just horribly judgmental, or do you all have things like this that just bug you?
