My Little Pony, My Little Pony, what will today's adventure be? Well, in Friendship is Magic: Story of the Blanks, a retro-NES experience by Donitz, Applebloom talks herself into going with Twilight Sparkle to deliver a package to the magician in the forest. But the woods are dark and scary, and you'll never know what you will find... Flowers? Friendship? Magic? Love? Diamonds? Candy? Who knows? You'll need a beautiful heart, faithful and strong, to make it to the end, but a little bit of magic should make it all complete.

Ok, so I posted an AMA in IAMA, and I got a lot of flame and downvotes. I wonder if this is a true representation of the perception of furries in popular culture... I wondered if I ever would have to explain to anybody what it is, and I feel that the pop media portrays us poorly.

So, I was just wondering, are you guys out of the proverbial furry closet? If so, how did you do it?

I for one am not. Not in real life, anyway. I have been a furry for a few years, now, and I've only actually accepted it and started feeling good about it since I have joined reddit. But I do not want to come out yet.

It is quite sad that this place is as inactive as it is. Would it be a bad thing if we went on and sort of made the FA/fchan users aware of our existence, or would that be spamming? Do you guys have any good ideas for attracting more of our friends, or does anyone know of an alternate or more active furry reddit?

Critters against cancer.

July 9th 2011
Salt Lake City, Utah.

To say that it was going to be a hot day would be an accurate understatement. It’s Summer time in Utah, everything is dry and hot. I was there in Liberty Park in Salt Lake after getting my tiger striped butt out of bed at what many would call the ungodly hour of 6 in the morning, picking up a lynx friend of mine, and a car stall on I-15, no more then a mile away from our exit. We had about 6 liters of water with us, and I had no real expectations about what was going to happen.

I mean, I never handled a fursuit before. Hell, up until recently I didn’t even have something I could call a self respecting tail. So, I honestly was feeling like a fish out of water… well, I suppose a cat in a lake would be a better metaphor. This was something I wasn’t used to. But, I had the day off, and was planning to be in Salt Lake anyway, and the cause was something I could agree to. So, I decided to ally myself to the “Walk for the Cure” along with the other fursuiters and Utah furries that made it.

July 8th, the day before, we were getting a head count into rough ball park of 15 suiters. The organizer of this event, was a Martin, who was turned into Marbled pole cat, by the name of Thay, and to say she was stressed over the fact that she had to get a bunch of furries to handle the fursuiters would be spot on. Hell, I know I would be. Seriously think about it, if you have ever tried to get a bunch of furries organized, it’s like herding cats. Probably because some of us are cats.

She couldn’t back out of it though. She organized a bunch of suiters and furs to participate in the Orem city summerfest in Orem Utah. Where some of the Cure for Cancer folks saw us insanely unique costumers. They asked for us by name, to participate in the Cure for Cancer walk. Probably the whole reason we were asked to participate in this was because it was a cure for juvenile cancer. There were a ton of little children around there. We were a welcome sight to the little children. Honestly, a lot of them came up and hugged the suiters and there were even adults getting into the act. To be dead honest, everyone was having fun.

Hell, I even had fun, after all the nervousness in handling for the first time died away. It brought a smile to my face, and a warm furry feeling to my heart. But, all around there was a great time to be had by all. We got some positive publicity, and we supported a good cause. Honestly folks, cancer is messed up. I have lost people to a ton of things, drunk driving, drugs, ninja cheerleaders from the rival school, and war. But out of all of these things, Cancer is still the worst. Talk to anyone who’s lost anyone close to them about it, and you’ll see them get all teary eyed, or go stoic, if you’re lucky. At times, they’ll collapse to the ground wailing about their loss. Its disgusting sickness, but we are making such huge strides to end it, but until we can get no one up front to release a balloon in the memories of those felled by cancer. We cannot stop. Even if it means donning a silly looking tiger costume in 90+ degree weather and walking about, we must continue this work. For the benefit of all us.

I've always been interested in creating another one, but never really got around to it because I didn't know whether it was looked down on or not. I saw one user on FA who had 14 of them. I know that's pretty overboard, but if I had just a second one....would it be confusing to people, possibly annoying?
