KSU’s gay magazine interviews furry students

Furry News Network - Tue 1 Feb 2011 - 16:51

Author: GreenReaper

Fusion coverFusion Magazine, published by Kent State University students for the LGBTQ community, has based its latest issue on furries.

The coverage begins with a six-page profile of the fandom featuring Robby Conte (Robbyfox) and other NE Ohio furs.

Robbyfox describes his introduction to the fandom, his trip to Anthrocon 2010, and favourably compares furry fandom to the gay community, which he describes as ‘more intimidating’.

The article then gives an overview of fursuiting and a dismissive mention of Vanity Fair, before diving into quotes from sociological researcher Dr. Kathy Gerbasi, a description of a local furmeet and a sub-interview with ObliviousAlly.

WildCritters divided by policy changes

Furry News Network - Tue 1 Feb 2011 - 16:42

Author: GreenReaper

WildCrittersWhat is the nature of a critter? And when the community provides content, who should determine policy – the owner, or the users?

Such questions split WildCritters, an imageboard known for cute feral erotica.

The site distinguished itself from furry competitors like e621 and Fchan by restricting its content to high-quality artwork of ‘critters‘ – minimally anthropomorphic, chibi-like animals.

Now there are two sites: WildCritters.ws and WildCritters.net, both running Danbooru, sharing similar themes and content. How did this come about?

Friendship is Magic

In-Fur-Nation - Tue 1 Feb 2011 - 02:56

The was a lot of talk late last year among animation fans about The Hub, a new cable channel created as a joint venture between Discovery Channel and the Hasbro toy company. The Hub was started as direct competition for the likes of The Family Channel. As such, they show original animated TV series during the day — almost entirely based on various Hasbro toy lines — an sit-com re-runs at night. One of the current flagships of the former is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, a flash animation series. It was developed for television by Lauren Faust, who is well-known in animation circles for her work on Powerpuff Girls and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends with her husband, Craig McCracken. Here’s the series description from Wikipedia: “The series stars a unicorn pony named Twilight Sparkle, who has been known to be a pupil of the world’s ruler Princess Celestia. Seeing the young pony buried in books, the princess gives her the task of making friends, sending her, and a young dragon named Spike, to Ponyville. There, they meet some interesting ponies, including tomboyish Rainbow Dash, glamorous Rarity, hard-working Applejack, timid Fluttershy, and hyperactive Pinkie Pie. Together, they explore the ins and outs of the town, solve various problems, and make even more friends. Every day is a lesson for Twilight, but none as important as the magic of friendship. At the end of each episode, Twilight relays a report to her mentor Celestia, telling her what friendship has taught her.” The series is animated by Studio B Productions in Vancouver, Canada.

My SO and I are new furries. Advice?

Furry Reddit - Mon 31 Jan 2011 - 11:16

My SO and I have enjoyed the occasional furry art every now and then but never really gotten into it. Lately, however, we have both taken a strong liking into the furry subculture. We just got back from an anime con and she decided to buy a tail, ears, and collar from the Furstars dealer. We couldn't afford anything for me unfortunately. I know that just the tail and ears doesn't make one a furry but we would both like to learn more about it and become part of the community. So could anyone give some advice or links that would help out some newborn furries?

Podcast with Kyell Gold

Red Furros - Sun 30 Jan 2011 - 21:18

The following podcast was recorded on Further Confusion, in this podcast we ask Kyell Gold about the release of his new book Isolation Play and about some of his other works like Waterways and Volle.

Arakum’s Note: I know! my english sucks and I was nervous as it is my first podcast, bear with me ????

Editor’s Note: No, this is not Guillermo from Jimmy Kimmel Live interviewing Kyell Gold =3

About Isolation Play:

Devlin Miski thought coming out on national TV would be the hardest part about being a gay football player. But it’s when his press conference is over that the trouble really starts. The athletic tiger and his boyfriend Lee, a fox with a tongue as quick as his wit, still won’t get many breaks in their fight for understanding. They’ll need to deal with a stubborn reporter determined to get a story any way he can, furious parents, and hostile teammates–not to mention each other.
