Isiah Jacobs's stories

Isiah reviews Ten-Thousand Miles Up, Rick Griffin's space pirate opera.

This is the last interview for a while, I swear! I had the pleasure of interviewing Kyell Gold on his latest publication, 'The Silver Circle'. My questions and comments are not to be taken seriously.

Isiah Jacobs: Good evening, Kyell Gold! Thank you so much for joining me tonight. It's nice to have you on the show, at last!

Kyell Gold: Thanks! Glad to be here.

Isiah Jacobs: So, you've recently come out with your latest book, The Silver Circle. I assume that's a term for some sort of gay cult?

Kyell Gold: Actually, you are correct. It's an underground society of homosexual activists that was formed in northern Germany in the late 1800s to attempt to bring back the Holy Roman Empire. But that's not what this book is about. In this case, it's an allusion to the moon, and the metal silver, because the book is about werewolves.

Isiah Jacobs: But having read it, it has more than just werewolves, doesn't it Kyell?

Kyell Gold: It does. It also includes female characters. It even stars a female character.

Isiah Jacobs: And a straight relationship.

Kyell Gold: Potentially two, in fact.

Isiah Jacobs: Who are you and what have you done to the real Kyell Gold?

I had the pleasure of interviewing Rei Vegan earlier this year, starting back in March. Due to a busy schedule, the interview wasn't completed until April. Final exams got in the way of editing, so some topics brought up will be out of date. Thank you for your understanding.

My questions and comments are not to be taken seriously. Also, this interview is pretty long. Might want to grab something to eat.

Isiah Jacobs: Good evening, Rei Vegan, thank you so much for joining me tonight!

Rei Vegan: Good evening Don, the pleasure's all mine.

Isiah Jacobs: So let's see here, you're obviously very well known for your web comic, DSV Nautica [NSFW], one of my personal favorites, I hate to admit, but you've actually been doing this whole furry thing for quite a while now. According to what the younger generation would call you, you're a "gray muzzle." You'll be turning 32 next week, is that correct?

Rei Vegan: This is indeed correct. I'm kind of fond of the term "gray muzzle" myself; it makes me imagine myself on the porch yelling obscenities at kids on my lawn or some such.

Isiah Jacobs: What, like yelling at them to stop their furpile?

Rei Vegan: -and listening to that dot matrix printer noise they call Dub Step. *chuckles*

This interview has been transcribed from it's original A/V format. As such, the structure of the interview may be confusing. Keep in mind that this is meant to re-create the conversation-like interview. Thank you.

Me: Good evening, Quetza, thank you so much for joining me tonight!

Quetza: Pleasure to be here.

Me: So, there has been so much to your life, it’s astounding to even imagine it! First off, how long have you been a furry?

Quetza: I first got into the fandom in, I believe, 2004. So that’s... eight years, I believe now?

Me: Were you one of those furries that always felt all their life that there was something weird about them? How they had an interest in furries. Or did you just find them and they caught your interest?

Quetza: Well I will say that I had certain interests as a kid. Not in furries. I mean, I didn’t know what a furry was. I didn’t know the concept of furry existed, until 2004. But I did have certain interests, certain things I liked as a kid a lot, and I couldn’t really explain it. Dragons, for instance, I really got into them as a pre-teen, like 11, 12. I couldn’t explain it, and eventually, I found the furry fandom and it just sort of went from there. So it isn’t really a thing you always know about, but you can have certain interests that tie in to it that can come in later, I think.
