More back in the “where have we been?” realm is the Wereworld series of books written by Curtis Jobling — who happens to be the creator of the world famous Bob the Builder and (for Nickelodeon) Curious Cow. But he’s always harbored a soft (dark?) spot for classic horror, and now the Wereworld series is his first set of novels… still for young readers but decidedly for older kids! “Imagine a world ruled by Werelords–men and women who can shift at will into bears, lions, and serpents. When Drew suddenly discovers he’s not only a werewolf but the long-lost heir to the murdered Wolf King’s throne, he must use his wits and newfound powers to survive in a land suddenly full of enemies. Drew’s the only one who can unite the kingdom in a massive uprising against its tyrant ruler, Leopold the Lion. But the king is hot on Drew’s tail and won’t rest until he’s got the rebel wolf’s head.” And that’s just the first book, Wereworld: Rise of the Wolf from 2012. The series is up to book six now, and more are coming.  You can find the books in paperback over at Amazon, or check out the Wereworld web site for lots of background and extra goodies — or baddies.

Coming out as gay/lesbian/bicycle is one of the most intense moments in any person's life. Since so many furries happen to be one of the three, we invited Mark back into the studio with his Mother, Flo, where they shared their deeply personal stories about Mark's coming out. Hear both sides of how Mark decided how and when to share this part of his identity, how his mother struggled on her path to acceptance, and how they both found a new love in their relationship as mother and son. Everyone has a little bit of themselves in this story, including those who shared their stories via email and voice. -- This episode also has bonus downloads! Check the show notes page for THE GAME, which was cut to keep this episode at the standard double length.

Hello, everyfur.

I have something important to announce this night (it is night time where I live)...

I can't deny it any longer, I have been denying it for three months straight, I just wasn't aware of it. There were times where I've disliked the fandom and there were times where I loved the fandom so much. But now, it's all clear:

I AM A FURRY!!!!!!!!!

This feels great, I feel so free now, a feeling I haven't felt for 3 damn months. YAYYYYY!!

Now, I can enjoy and live my life to it's fullest.

So, now that I am a furry, will that affect my life and beliefs or my preferences? I hope that this is not the case.I love a lot of things, including anime,humans,fantasy,video games... Does being a furry have any limits? What if I lose my love for anime or humans, which I really love!

I feel weird about this decision, but I hope that this weirdness quickly fades away by the supportive nature of this fandom!

I hope that this won't change anything in my life.
