Lately I've been growing increasingly disillusioned about writing in the fandom, in general. I'm not going to go into specifics, but you're free to hit me up on Telegram if you so wish. At the moment, I'm considering putting together a mailing list (email in this case) of people who would either li…
I’ll admit, I’m quite excited to be writing this. October has been quite an exciting and memorable month, bringing quite a lot of good news. First off, my dissertation on werewolves was published on Adjective Species! I was really excited about that, as it was nice for the project to have some life…
After thinking about it for a couple of months, I've decided to go through with my idea of writing a short newsletter detailing what's happened during the month in terms of writing progress. I hope it to be something that will allow people to have more of a sense of what I'm working on, and what pr…
Just a bit of a quick thought that's occurred to me whilst watching something political on the television about trying to create strong local communities. After being active in the fandom for more than a year now, I've seen a number of exposé articles about the furry community. Within these pieces,…
For the past week, I've been away climbing in North Wales (this is related). Part of climbing outdoors is learning to cope with your own mental state, as climbs with lots of exposure can make you scared, and perform less than optimally. Anyway, the guide I was with was talking about this, and said…
I heard this said in an interview, ironically, talking about coming out. The gist of the response went that being in the closet about sexual matters is comfortable and safe because there's no one else there, and you can keep it in a separate compartment. And well, while I find that is a great descr…
Yes, it was a trick, but I've got to get your attention somehow. Apologies for the deception, but I really, really have some questions that I've be very grateful to hear your opinions on. It shouldn't take more than five minutes, and you can answer in simple yes/no if you wish. =) For an extended p…
So, just in case any of you are confused, as I said in my last journal, I'll be hanging around FA for people who are only here. In terms of new work, that will be on Weasyl, as the site layout is much kinder to text submissions. Anyway, my dissertation is finished, bringing an end to my academic li…
Recently, I've been thinking in a bit more depth about the Televassi character I use online within the furry community. The 'fursona', as much as I hate the lexicon, can mean a wide range of things for people. Sometimes its for fun, sometimes for an idealized version of themselves, and sometimes, i…
As the title says, a big thank you to everyone who has decided to follow me here on Weasyl! I wasn't expecting many people to follow me over, nor was I expecting to gain some new followers too! So, a big big thank you to you all! Hopefully, you'll bear with me as I move things across and get set up…
Hello indeed! It's been a while, though it's down to my lack of calling. Life has been busy, primarily finishing my dissertation, but now I'm free of that I have that thing called free time! However, that's not just the only reason why I'm here. Like a lot of people, I've been watching FA slowly ci…
