At FC, the restaurant in the Hilton was called "The Affinity". I knew this would happen eventually.
Animorphs in Space
So, your humble ed-otter returns from the 2012 edition of Further Confusion in Northern California, with lots of stuff to report. Including such items as…
John Van Stry is a science fiction author whose works tend to involve a lot of scientifically-created animal-people characters. Many of his novels and novellas began appearing in both paper and electronic form in 2011. A good place to start in his universe is Children of Steel, published for the Kindle last March. Here’s the description from Amazon: “Raj is just your average everyday genetically modeled and artificially created anthropomorphic worker for one of the many corporations of the future. Extensively trained and conditioned from birth he’s now indentured for the next fifty years of his life; assuming he doesn’t die first, or somehow manage to pay off his creation and training debts. Created by the corporations to deal with the harsh labor shortages of the twenty second century when humans will no longer take on the dangerous jobs Raj finds himself now in the harsh world of space exploration, trading, corporate maneuverings, and sometimes the even more dangerous fanatics that hate Raj and his fellows. No longer in safe confines of the training academies he must learn how to live and deal with both his fellow workers and the humans he encounters and not get saddled with extra bills or fines because he’s screwed up or worse yet, get ‘put down’ because he’s lost his temper one time too many. After all, it’s not like he’s human…” Other stories in the same universe include Danger Money; Lead, Follow, or Suffer the Consequences; and Dialene, the story of a female fox-morph who hooks up with the wrong crew. Here’s a current list of John Van Stry’s books that are available on Amazon in e-book format.

Ymirling, a frost giant from Jotunheim, makes his way to Midgard and the frozen North of the New World. However, before he can claim those lands for himself, he must defeat the elusive spirit Shingebiss.
Cathy Smith is a member of Six Nations of the Grand, an Indian Reservation in Canada but she has an interest in folklore from other cultures besides her own. This translates into a desire to write fantasy stories based on different cultures.

Further Confusion 2012
It would be silly for a meta-furry blog to post a con report, and that’s not quite what we’re going to do here, but we would like to note that [adjective][species] was at Further Confusion 2012 (still is, technically) as Fan Media, and we had a blast! While there, we handed out surveys, cards, and “I ♥ RandomWolf” stickers, lined up some future interviews, and spent a good deal of time talking to and observing our fellow furries.
In the future, we would also like to conduct some interviews while at the con (we brought a camcorder this year, but forgot to really do anything with it), and have more people helping to conduct the survey. However, we are also open to suggestions – what would you like to see from us at conventions? What other conventions would you like to see us visit? Is there any convention specific content that you would like to see us produce? Let us know what you think in the comments and we’ll definitely take it into consideration!
Keep being awesome, folks!
