Nicely done Furries.
~S

Um... thanks!

You're quite welcome. Are you involved in Furries and/or MUCK'ing? Don't be worried about giving me a blank stare if you have no idea what I'm talking about. Having seen the sketches you did, I assumed you were a part of that and I realized it may just be an erroneous one on my part.
~S

*gives Shadow a very stupid looking blank stare*
I ... uh... I sumbitted some work to Yerf ( http://www.yerf.com )
*blinks confusedly*

Yep, that's exactly what I was talking about. If I'm not mistaken MUCK'ing is when you role-play your furry or has the term changed since last I knew? It's been almost two years since I was involved in it.
~S

... *still a bit confused*
... well... i dunno know about that... but my current role playing character IS the one at the top of the page (though being friends with this character is like being friends with a cactus- unlike what is implied in the picture)
... not that you need to know any of this...

Anita,
You're quite correct, though I SERIOUSLY appreciate you telling me the information. With my overly curious nature, not knowing would have been plaguing me for days! I've been RPG'ing since 81' and have a group that's heading to GenCon Aug. 12th in Milwaukee.

*He chuckles* Actually I didn't think anything was implied by the pics. I used to run a persona named Epitath, he was a 1/2 dragon, 1/2 human. His friends would yank on and/or twist one of his scales when he couldn't see them do it, then point at whatever it was threatening them (a large group of bad guys, a heavy infantry column, a convoy of tanks etc...) and then say they (the bad guys) did it. Epitath would then proceed to get very angry and generally whomp the tar out of whoever or whatever it was they had pointed at and told him had yanked his scale. Needless to say Epitath wasn't very bright, but he was most certainly very large and very loyal to his friends in a Grape Ape kind of way.

So what IS the correct for RP'ing a furry these days? I've been out of and away from it and the internet in general for almost 3 years now. Thanks again for the info.

Dunno if there really is a correct term for it. I only started role-playing in May. One of my older journal entries talks about it in very very great detail. (I was going to the mainland and the ferry we were on ... I dunno... the Canadian government thought they were a really great idea. 40 million is what the government is trying to sell them for, the ships suck! Anyway, I was just about to meander around- because you can't sit still on these things- when my friend, who has beeing gaming for about 20 years and had just told me some stories for his games, told me write things down. We were almost in Vancouver, so I did... turns out I wrote up my character. My biggest dislike is that she has a face roll of ONLY 42. She deserves at least 70... but oh well.)

Yeah, the pic is supposed to imply something. If you notice the big sort of tear drop on the side of her head, that's an anime mark for embarrassment (you may or may not know that already... is my spelling wrong? well, it's early)

My character (Anita Ryde- it was a hitchhiking joke. You know Ineeda Ride. It's the name you post to leave when calling parents collect for a ride home... anyway, my friends game is full of names like that...) is ... not likeable, (to put it with out using the ever uncreative profanity). But she has her moments. Her and her mission team just got into a bar fight and the one person who annoyes her the most was the first to come save her. (Need we use the warcry? Malitia!!)

Oh well...

May/maynot intrest you to know that I will be putting up more pics... (but not here, on my other webpage- which will be called ... what ever would be a good name for it...)

Way cool! You learn something new every day. In fact, I didn't know that about the tear in anime. That makes several other images I've seen in the past make total sense now, thank you!

I wasn't sure about the name, but I'm glad to know I was right. I'm definitely interested in checking out any new Furry pics you come up with. I studied Art in school from 6th grade up into college. The picture of the 2 coyotes in the links section of my home space is one of my pics I've created. *sigh* Only problem is I don't have a scanner so I can scan in images. I draw and sketch a LOT better than I can on the computer! Once I'd scanned it, then I would use a paint program to colorize it. In a very special occasion I went and had the image scanned in at a copy place and worked from there, but it's too expensive generally for me to pay to scan stuff in all the time.

Ah well, I should have a new computer shortly enough and I'll pick up a scanner when the new system is finished being built. Okay, now that I've wandered WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY out into left field, lemme know when you do put up more pics, I'd definitely like to see them.

Epitath had one situation where a friend of his was riding on his back as Epi was flying through dense cloud cover. His friend tells him to fly above this stuff, cause he's getting wet from it. It didn't bother him in the least, but because it was his friend, he started flapping harder, rose above the cloud cover...and ran square into the underside of a floating castle! Well, his buddy first gets smooshed a little between Epitath and the rocky bottom of the floating castle. At the same time, Epi conked head into the castle's underside and knocked himself a little loopy and dizzy. This made him go into a vertical hover, while he shook his head to clear it. His friend, previously only smooshed a little, now instantly goes into freefall without a parachute, but with only one hope of being saved...that Epitath can catch up to him and grab him before he hits the ground.
You'd be amazed how high someone bounces when they smash into the ground moving at the speed of terminal velocity! Suprisingly though, his buddy did live, barely, but he did and they Steve Austin'ed him. So there was a happy ending after all.

Why can't anita ever live happily ever after?

No, she can't. She always gets stuck with the boring missions (like lost and found in the biggest dump of a planet...) with a bunch of idiots! (Pete Moss(aka Malitia, also called Malitia Boy), Teddy Bear (the over friendly Ruxpin) and Hy Jack- a Barney fan Lizard Mechanic)

I hate them all (okay not hate, just generally dislike. I mean they're annoying. All Pete ever talks about is the Malitia and Teddy tries to be EVERYBODIES friend and Hy is just plain annoying all together)

...

I srt of can't wait to play again though, but if my friend comes up with anymore bad names, I will have to hurt him.

Oh and the ship I work on... ... well if you wait a while, I'll be putting the story up with the pics.

Oh and don't woory, you be the first I tell about new pics, but no steling. Humans what steal hard work is for killing *evil smirk*

Kewl, I look forward to reading it. Here's another of my infamous smileys. The scrunch-eyed bronx cheer guy. >X~P~
~S

Well here then.
The cute kitty smile!
=^-^=

LOL! Indeed that does look like Hello Kitty.
~S

Got any more?
~S

Sure.
=^o^=
>^-^<
=!_!= (alarmed kitty)
=x_x= (dead kitty)

Okay, I was thinking. Here's THE order.
=^o^= (happy meowing kitty)
=^-^= (just happy kitty)
=^.^= (confused kitty- at least, not happy)
=!_!= (alarmed kitty)
=x_x= (dead kitty)

Cute. The dead kitty reminds me of a coffee cup my dad had. It said "Official Member of the Teach your cat to swim Club." on it and had a picture of a cat on a peir with a rope tied to it and a large rock on the other end. Then of course there's also the 101 uses for a dead cat book.
~S

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Instead of confused kitty or at least not happy kitty. I'd say it's an indifferent kitty, which is their normal look unless food or something to pounce on is involved.
~S

=!_!= ^..^
You human! You I kill!!

Who ever said I was human? I'm a shadow. Feel free to pounce me, though I'd advise you to tuck your head before smacking face-first into the wall I'm on at the moment. I refuse to be held accountable for someone else's coffee mug they designed and book they wrote.
