A Few Thoughts on LGBTQ+ and Furry Writing

Furry fandom has had a long history of supporting LGBTQ+ people and content. Many of the fandom’s early writers and artists were part of the rainbow, and many have continued to have long, successful careers creating writing, art, and comics about LGBTQ+ furries. I’ve never felt in furry that my sexuality was an issue. I can be gay, I can write about gays, and it’s all rosy and fabulous. So, for pride month, I wanted to talk a bit about my journey as a gay writer. ...

The Snow Tiger

I wrote the original version of this story for a friend on a lark when he told me to "tell him a story" in a chat. Forty minutes later, I had created a myth.

Welcome!

And thus it begins.  I've long wondered what this journey would be like.  It's going to be a challenge, but I do love to tell a good story. Many of the posts here will include things in development and things that are taking shape. I expect some of my older work will also come back at some point.

This month's story, and yes there will be a story this month, is a piece called "The Snow Tiger." This is a shorter piece I have that follows my interest in myths.  I need to pol...
