YCHs: What would you like?

I'm going to be putting up so more YCH auctions this week, and I thought I'd pick your brains again as to what sort of things you'd want to bid on. Do you want more cheesecake, or less? Situations designed with a particular gender in mind, or ones that work for both? Do you prefer action poses, or…

So you don'thave a hoverboard...

You don't have to wait in line for your Soylent ration, or fight mutants in a post-nuclear hellscape either. Getting the future wrong isn't necessarily a bad thing

Bikini Madness 2015! (Slots filled)

Summer's almost over, but there's still time to enjoy the sun, and for your characters to show off their best beach bodies. Despite the name, it doesn't have to be bikinis. Any sort of beachwear will do. Brass and/or chainmail bikinis count if your character tends more towards scifi or fantasy. The…

FurryMUCK Turns 25

One of the first online furry communities, and certainly the longest running will be celebrating its 25th anniversary this August. In the fast moving world of the Internet, keeping anything going for a quarter century is no small feat. In fact, I'm hard pressed to think of any site online that's be…

R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy

Another part of my childhood has gone. You're probably going to be seeing lots of these over the next few hours, but Leonard Nimoy passed away today at the age of 83. An actor and director who has done many things over the years, but none have touched so many people as his role as Spock in Star Tre…

On Subject Matter

Consider this piece by J. C. Lyendecker: http://c300221.r21.cf1.rackcdn.com/arrow-shirt-ad-jc-leyendecker-1351491823_org.jpg You've probably seen it around, or one of the many homages to it. It is a really nice piece, and you might even call it a classic. Yet what was to purpose of this modern mast…

Reward for information about MFF chlorine attack - see link

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6333209/ It's entirely possible that the con was just caught in the crossfire of the real target, but if you are within the fandom, consider this: Fandom is a pretty small community, and everyone tends to know everyone else. I'm sure even you have friends who alre…

Return of the Son of Bikini Madness, Part 2 (5 slots open)

Because of the response to Bikini Madness, I'm opening up another chance for July. It doesn't have to be bikinis, either.

Price increases for April

I looked through the time I was spending on the line art commissions, and realized I was spending too much time on them for what I was getting for them. I could try to speed things up, , but then it looks like crap. I don't like making crap, and I know you guys don't like paying for it either. Also…

This time around, the theme is science fiction, and since there's plenty of dystopic SF out there, for a change of pace, how about we go with positive scenarios this time around? Whether it's boldly going where no one has gone before, or the shiny scenarios of futures past, we look forward to a wor…

RIP Gerry Anderson

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan.....shire-20845407 I grew up watching Stingray and UFO, and I loved the look of Space 1999, even when I didn't thing the writing was the greatest. A Gerry Anderson production was pure tech porn, and porn is not watched for the acting, or the stories. his shows al…
