Mild nitpick from someone who was there: the reference to "Foxen/Revan" makes me suspect you're relaying something second (or even third) hand and got a couple details slightly fuzzed. There were two separate characters, "Foxen" and "Revar" (not "Revan"), played by the same player. While I'm not positive, I'm fairly sure the original "yiff" in Foxish came from the character Foxen.
I'm down with fannish jargon (except when it appears in furry stories that are otherwise making a bid to be taken seriously, but that's a whole different rant), but I confess this one has always induced at least a bit of a sigh from me. I'm not sure what it says about our fandom that we insist on having our own jargon for "have sex."
