The Cóyotl Awards are awarded annually by the Furry Writers' Guild to recognize excellence in anthropomorphic literature. This year there's a new award category!

Review: The Voyages of Cinrak the Dapper. The Voyages of Cinrak the Dapper is a collection of seven short stories written by A. J. Fitzwater centred around Cinrak, a lesbian, capybara pirate. It has a couple of strong elements as well as several weak points. I struggled with my thoughts as I read it and, in the end, I would say that, overall, I found it frustrating. I will start this review briefly talking about politics. It might seem like an unusual starting point but the introduction makes clear that the book is political and it touches on several hot button issues. Come for handsome, huggable Cinrak in a dapper three-piece, stay for her becoming a house-ship Mother to an enormous found family, the ethical polyamory, trans boy chinchilla, genderqueer rat mentor, fairy, and whale, drag queen mer, democratic monarchy, socialist pirates, and strong unionization. What I do like about the way politics is handled in this book, is that it is not set up as a conflict between opposing ideologies; the book presents its favoured way of seeing the world and just leaves it as that.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Waterways by Kyell Gold
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Waterways by Kyell Gold Kyell says: Waterways came about through an odd series of circumstance, starting with me joining the now-defunct eroticfurrywriting group. I did not set out to write an inspirational text for young gay furries, but "coming to terms" (as opposed to coming-of-age) has always been a theme of my writing, and that naturally came to the fore in Kory's story. I've been surprised and touched by the number of people who have taken strength and inspiration from this story. I appreciate all the letters I've received from all of you about it. Waterways by Kyell Gold. Here are a few questions I get asked pretty often. If you want to ask me anything else, check out my Contact page for my contact info. Will you read my story? Correct your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. In your first draft, you can be sloppy. You should not be showing your first draft around. Anything you show someone from whom you want a professional opinion should be as professional as you can make it. Read your story aloud to yourself. Not in your head. Out loud. Read it to a friend, if that will help. You'd be amazed at what sounds fine on paper but ridiculous out loud. Write down in one sentence what your story's about. It can be a long sentence. For example: "Waterways is the journey of a young otter coming to grips with his newly realized sexuality." Or "Volle is about a young spy learning to think with his head as well as his sheath." If you can't do this, maybe your story needs to be more focused.

  • Fursonas and Stigmatization in the “Human” World
    LUCAS, TORIE E., M.A. Wolves, Dragons, and Ponies… Oh My!: Fursonas and Stigmatization in the “Human” World. (2017) Directed by Dr. Gwen Hunnicutt 112 pp The “furry fandom” is a broad term that generally refers to a subculture in which members have shown a deep invested interest in anthropomorphic or zoomorphic creatures and artwork. A “furry” is referred to as an individual who cultivates a “fursona,” which is a unique character that is personified through an anthropomorphic or zoomorphic creature exhibiting both human and animal characteristics. These “fursonas” are typically exemplified through cartoon avatars and other forms of artwork and costuming. Current research centered on the furry fandom is quite limited and primarily focuses on psychological frameworks regarding identity formation. For the purposes of this study, I utilized a broader understanding of identity cultivation, management, and concealment within a stigmatized subgroup, by incorporating sociological constructs based around identity performance and anthropological conceptions of masking. This study encompasses qualitative responses from ten self-identified “furries.” The information gained from these participants helps to support and substantiate previous research findings, while also broadening the scope of identity formation within a peculiar subgroup. “WOLVES, DRAGONS, AND PONIES… OH MY!: FURSONAS AND STIGMATIZATION IN THE “HUMAN” WORLD by Torie E.

Two and a half years after they left High School together, Reis and Marcus have attempted to settle into a life with one another. But they are far from home, family and friends, and are swiftly leaving behind their teenage years as they embark on the difficult journey towards adulthood. While Reis struggles with near unemployment and strives to find a purpose in his life that does not revolve around his relationship, Marcus has become so invested in his college life and local Activist group he leads that he has begun to change as a person, and the two cannot seem to go a day without an argument coming between them. Tragedy steps into their lives, and as it so often does, forces the two to stare down a hard reality. Things have to change between them, and if neither can accept the thought of making significant compromises for the other, the fact that they love one another just might not be enough. Everyone has to grow up. Can a relationship founded in High School survive the rigors of the adult world? Art and story by Rukis.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} a Left-Handed Sword by Phil Geusz Review: 'The Laputan Factor' by Tristan Black Wolf
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} A Left-Handed Sword by Phil Geusz Review: 'The Laputan Factor' by Tristan Black Wolf. Tristan Black Wolf's The Laputan Factor opens with software developer Night O'Connell enjoying a well-earned rest in the company of his hyena boyfriend. Or with fighter pilot 1st Lt Ambrose Bierce Kovach about to enter a simulated exercise aboard the star cruiser Heartwielder . As scenes and viewpoints switch, which of these almost-identical, head-hopping tigers is the real one? Both? Neither? The story that follows is a science fiction gay romantic comedy mystery caper, with two realities' worth of characters helping or hindering the increasingly urgent quest to work out what's going on and how to fix it. That's about as much as I can write about the plot without the risk of ruining readers' enjoyment by blurting out spoilers. I can't even be specific about which cult 1960s TV series turns out to be vitally important. However, I can and will say that I enjoyed The Laputan Factor very much, and that if you like your furry fiction with buff, wisecracking characters, action, and a touch of mystery, you'll probably enjoy it too. At just over 200 pages in the softback edition, this is a long novella, and those pages are packed with external and inner conflicts for both O'Connell and Kovach. The pace is fast and the writing flows easily. There's a temptation to burn through the chapters and find out what happens next, but you may miss something important if you let impatience get the better of careful reading.

  • Chapter Eleven: Anthrocon: the Convention That Conquered Pittsburgh
    Chapter Eleven: Anthrocon: The Convention that Conquered Pittsburgh There’s this store where the creatures meet I wonder what they do in there Summer Sundays and a year — Jim Morrison, She Lives on Love Street * * * A pride of lions…a school of fish… a congregation of alligators…as people who have adopted animal identities, furs deserve a group name as well. I nominate “a convention of furs.” That is, after all, where we gather. Those 65 furs who attended ConFurence Zero in 1989? The tiniest of blips compared to the 45,000 furs who attended conventions worldwide in 2015. The lion‟s share of those fans—about 35,000—gathered at the 40-plus furcons held in North America, from Reno Nevada (“The Biggest Little Furcon”) to Edmonton Canada (“Fur- Eh!”); eleven of those conventions attracted over a thousand furs; several, multiple thousands. Furry conventions have been held across Europe,1 in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines…the list goes on. The world‟s three largest furcons take place in the US, the country where Furry was born: San Jose‟s “Further ConFusion,” “Midwest FurFest” just outside of Chicago and the biggest of them all: Pittsburgh‟s “Anthrocon2.” * * * 1 Just to mention a few: “Confuzzled” (England), “Eurofurence” (Germany), “Furtastic” (Denmark), “Futerkon” (Poland), “Rusfurrence” (Russia), “WUFF” (The Ukraine), “Zampacon” (Italy)… 2 Midwest FurFest is closing in on Anthrocon‟s record as the world‟s largest furry convention: in 2016 MFF attracted 7,075 furs vs. Anthrocon‟s 7,310.
