Continued from Part 1: Sakura fox tells more about “renegade fursuiting” in public. I’ve previously written about those unique experiences of “Street fursuiting”. Sakura’s convention panels and journals about it are recommended reading (see bottom.) Patch: Your suiting tips practically scream “go do this”, to anyone who has a fursuit and is tempted to try […]

Sakura fox and Mercury are huge inspirations. They’re great fursuit performers, cool people, and way cute. They’re the kind of furries who make this subculture awesome. They’re Texas-based but well known around cons. I’ve seen them present con panels about “Renegade Fursuiting.” Sakura has a series of FA journals about it that are recommended reading. […]

Reddit’s r/furry community was asked about the fandom’s future over the next 5-10 years. Visions appeared, and I slipped into a trance. (Wait… that was just my usual unhealthy internet habit).

In a corner, The Great Mouse Detective gives him an eyeball and orates about the rat race. By the bar, a beatnik goat sips […]

Part 1 of 3 On March 28-30, 2014, fur met hair band style, for the radical 1980’s-themed Biggest Little Fur Con. In 2013, I really enjoyed attending the first BLFC in Reno, NV. It had a healthy attendance of 704. At the second BLFC, attendance shot up to 1442 (including 465 costumers in the parade). […]

In 2012 I started posting stories to Flayrah furry news. I think it’s the best source of reading about this wild and colorful little subculture. Everyone there is good. It was super fun to get into a writing hobby, although not always predictable. In 2014, the editor seems very occupied with running other sites. A […]
