It is over. The last of the crys for help have faded, and the screaming has ceased. Many have been lost, but we survived. Jarmageddon is over. This is Ensnared.

warning: nothing in this post is true. it is full of half remembered events and blatant lies. we apologise if anything in this turns out to be any way correct.

SCOTUS rules in favour of gay marriage

Y'know, I'm not even going to make fun of this one. It is a brilliant step on the path to equality,and to mock it would be disrespectful and kinda wrong.

statistics: what do they mean to you?

In this jackals opinion, there is little more fun than peering into the minds of others via the great and intangible numbers collected via surveys. And boy do we have numbers. There have been literally a billion and 2 surveys conducted recently. Here are a few of the more intriguing results:

• what do you dislike about the fandom: here answers varied. 30% answered: all the porn, 40% all butt the porn, 20% hate the previous 40%, and 12% hate everything. This one questions why they are here, but oh well.

• /r/furry traffic stats: bit more interesting these ones. They showed most of the congestion is caused by the silver cars, whereas the rush hours are between 0:00- GMT and One from roughly 00:00-04:00 GMT and from 18:00-26:00 GMT

• what interests you in the fandom: well, the main answer was a four letter word, beginning with Y. You figure it out.

• what does r/furry mean to you?: again, the four letter word.

(It was yaks, what did you think it was?)

fuzzbutt central burns down in fire related incident

T eh great and hallowed concourse of fuzzbutts central (2.0) has sent its last message. A great and blue evil, known locally as S'kyp hath turned its evil gaze towards the great building, and torn it asunder in a fit of rage. That or someone burned it down for insurance money. The residents will now move to club rummy, the upmarket venue which totally isn't the old place with a different sign on the front. It really burned down. Honest.

ensnared has competition :O

I know, you heard me right! The great and noble corporation of Ensnared Media is facing a competitor for like the first time ever. It seems they are creating a thread, once a month (less regularly than this esteemed paper) and with and emphasis on Truth! Now, between you and me truth is kinda annoying. Having to do things like research, assessing things and going to places and doing actual interviews cuts down on the amount of content you can make. And besides, who needs the truth? Nothing is true, everything is just an illusion on a different level. Now we have already asked the government to deal with this threat to the public, and have provided them with $100000 and sports cars in a compleley unrelated bribe donation. We have to say, do not go there. The post is medium sized, well played out and has a persimmon coloured cover on it. Do not approach, look at or think about it too hard, lest its insidious ideas incorrupt you.

That's all for now! I leave you with our existential question of the week:

-.. --- -.-- --- ..- -.- -. --- .-- -- --- .-. ... . -.-. --- -.. . --··-- --- .-. .- .-. . -.-- --- ..- ..- ... .. -. --. .- - .-. .- -. ... .-.. .- - --- .-.?

That's all for now, I bid you goodnight (or morning. Or afternoon. Or whenever)

Yours journalistically, Amon Botolf.

Ocean and Roland take over the show and discuss how it’s been working on their own anthologies. They step through the process they’ve been using to discuss things they think they’ve done right and things they wished they had done instead. Putting together an anthology is a lot of work either way. Look out for Ocean’s anthology coming out this September, “Inhuman Acts: A collection of furry noir” published by FurPlanet.

So I happen to be building a wonderful site called Uni[Fur]sity, and I need help writing all the scripting for it, and designing it from the inside out. Currently, I am the only one working on building the website. It has potential, and I have so far had many people comment on how wonderful it is turning out. But the progress is slow, as like I have said, I am the only one working on it. Please, if anyone wants to help me make the site come alive, please PM me on FA (My username is PraxTheSergal). The website itself is still under development, but I have a preview of what it currently looks like set up on a server I own.

http://shell.lug.mtu.edu/~awgarret/ <---WIP

Please, feel free to help and pitch in. I need people to volunteer their time to make this a reality. It has the potential.

We need: -Artists -Web Developers -Programmers

For more information about the site, feel free to PM me on FA.

Yo terrible advertising, sorry. Had a few people messaging me about wanting headshots, or when I was opening commissions, or if they could get a higher quality headshot from the thread I made....

http://www.furaffinity.net/user/sareii/

I just opened 15 headshot slots at 15$ each. These are fully digital and drawn with badge design in mind (sorry, no physical badges will be shipped). With Anthrocon coming up, could be a cool thing for you peeps going.

For those waiting on the other commissions to open up, sorry bout that. I have a project I'm working on and I'm worried ref sheets will take to long for me to comfortably do both. I'm looking to open those next week though, after the headshots.

Sorry for my lack of presence, I've been playing a lot of games with you fellow furs, conducting job interviews, and enjoying my new freedom!

But anyway, I want to see how all of your summers are going :D! I hope they're going well, whether you're taking time off, working, etc. Enjoy the sunshine, folks!

All-ages Comic: A child and her canine companion journeys north in a hellish land to find her brother and a better tomorrow…

The Road North

Kickstarter ending 7/25/15 (past goal!)
Okay, this one’s not that furry, it’s more the “desert wasteland with a trusty canine” trope, well established in films like A Boy and His Dog and Mad Max.These are not all-ages films and you shouldn’t share them with a pre-teen…well, Mad Max, maybe, if it’s not your kid.

But seriously, this is a really cute dog.

It’s the year 2055, and humanity is in a very bad place. The world is a blasted dustbowl, the pages of the comic are saturated with a veil of orange haze and only symbolic creatures remain–crows, locusts, Kansas farmers. It’s very much like photographs of the Great Depression, but red-brown instead of sepia. Take one burned-out world, and one species on the edge of survival, and add a malign alien force, the Pure, who seem to be hellbent on just one thing: wiping humanity out and claiming earth as their own.

Again, not a good time to be a human. Or a dog.

This is the bleak backdrop for the story of I, a child travelling across the barren and dangerous land looking for her little brother, alongside her canine companion, Z. I want Z to be a dingo, and in fairness all blasted apocalypse films are set in Australia where there are dingoes, but I think we’re actually somewhere in the American Midwest, so he’s probably some sort of Labrador/village dog mix. I don’t care, because he’s intense, suspicious, and well-drawn. Cute character!

This is an all-ages project, and not the artist’s first all-ages comic. Joshua Covey created Baako, which looks like another blasted wasteland with a strong female lead, also funded through Kickstarter. Baako feels like an entirely different period, reminiscent of the edgy and frankly sleazier 70s-80s style of Mike Ploog’s work on “Wizards” and Oscar Martin’s “Solo” (okay, yes, that is a 90s comic, but there’s an unmistakable Frazetta vibe that runs through a certain flavor of 70s-80s fantasy.) The Road North is more kin to the slick young adult titles on the lower shelf at today’s comic shop, clean lines and bold character art.

Finding myself wondering about the choice of the name “I” for the main character–well, the non-canine main character. The anonymity of her mask, the ambivalent pronoun “their” in the project header (“A young refugee and their canine companion search for hope and a better tomorrow…”) suggest that “I” is there for anyone to relate to, boy or girl, which is not a bad way of handling things. Boys are in quite a lot of action titles, and having a more relateable character for girls might help open the comic up.

Keeping this review short and sweet, I would like to take a look at the complex backer points—there are at least 15 backer levels, including a print copy at $10 and a signed copy at $15, a sketch cover at $35 and a retail 10-pack at $35. Combining that with the luxurious amount of space used for sample art gives a lot of mouse-scrolling to get to the text, it’s self a bit hard on the eyes (nonstandard font, all caps…) It’s a bit hard to skim for information. There are some nice little infographics explaining the pledge points, and generous sample art really helps show off a comic book project, but I think Covey may have erred on the side of complexity instead of simplicity in planning out his pledge points–this seems to be a recurring problem when an artist wants to fold an unrelated project in with their rewards. My $.02, do with it what you will. Some minor communication issues; the Stretch Goals not being “unpacked” yet is a little frustrating, it’s hard to build goals around them if you can’t see them, and the campaign has a lack of updates, even past goal, but those aren’t quite as big as the TL:DR issue with the pledge points.

Again, all kinds of sample work on The Road North kickstarter, and a very available artist—you can find him on DA and his personal webfolio. This is issue one of a four-issue series, we’ll see what the next year brings for the title!

Sometimes the Dogpatch Press tip account gets extra cool messages.  Here’s what new friend Arrkay sent: We here love what you guys post online and what your content does for the fandom, so we hope you’ll take some time to check out what we’re doing! Where does the love of anthropomorphics come from? How far back can […]

Hey fuzzbutts. I've noticed a fair amount of you use a furry specific Reddit account. I personally don't (too much to juggle) but I was wondering how many of you use an "alt" account. If you do, why not just use your primary Reddit account?

EDIT: So I'm seeing a pattern of the same 3 responses.

• This is my /r/furry only account because I don't want some outside source to know/judge me on my furriness

• This is my /r/furry only account because I only really browse /r/furry.

• Meh, I don't care if people know I'm furry so I've got one primary account.
