Good day Fluffer Nutters. Around Anthrocon, we did an article highlighting all 25 books being released by Furplanet, but there were and are still more Furry books being released that we didn’t cover from the many other publishers and self-publishers. This list covers the rest that I can find. If you know any that I missed, feel free to mention them in the comments. Hope you enjoy your next furry obsession.

War. War never changes. Obvious Fallout reference aside, and yet it’s a subject that our fandom never fully explored. Especially in an anthology, but that changes. The new war theme anthology The Dogs of War is OPEN FOR SUBMISSION. Headed by our own Fred Patten, this anthology, as stated, covers the topic of war, but that doesn’t mean every story has to be your typical “war” story.

Sports fans are notoriously devoted. Fursuits are incredibly photogenic. Mascots and fursuiting make a powerful crossover when they meet.
It happens at games when fursuiting fans get noticed for national TV. Sometimes a furry gets to be a mascot with the sweet moves and personalities that seem to spring naturally from our cons. There are even official, high-profile team characters commissioned from fursuit makers.
That’s all covered in the article series
The National Mascot Hall of Fame is coming in 2017. This mainstream event might deserve furry attention. It’s a series here:
1) The beginning of mascots and fursuiting. 2) Fursuiting crossover with pro sports. 3) The National Mascot Hall of Fame.
Could a full time mascot-based tourist attraction include furries somehow? Maybe they will indirectly benefit. Imagine an exhibit dedicated to hobbyist costuming, and how it’s an institution in places like Pittsburgh. If that happened, Uncle Kage
We are in the heart of summer. The pools are open, the grills are cooking, and for us writers, Sofawolf’s long running anthology Heat is OPEN FOR SUBMISSION for their fourteenth volume. One of, if not the longest, and the most prominent, anthology in the fandom; Heat is once again open for all of your erotic encounters. But outside of being an erotic anthology, Heat never does a yearly theme like its contemporaries like Roar, Fang, or Trick or Treat.
Heat does not, and has never had, a theme be

A little preview of the photos of my vacation I'll be putting up at some point! (resized to fit posting directly to the forum)
It'll be a while before I do write ups and photo dumps on my Latvia/France trip, though. As was the case with the Grand Canyon photos, nearly every one of the .jpg files saved by the camera tend to be more than 10 MB in size. Most of them will barely fit on a forum post because the software tends to choke on 6012x4000 res images (I think the thumbnail generator take
This otter does public service in a proper fursuit, commissioned by the government. (Tip: Zeigler Jaguar.)
King County has two million people in the region around Seattle. Their Department of Natural Resources and Parks has a new mascot who’s a uniquely Furry example of public funding for art and education.
On Twitter, Chrissy B asked who built the suit. They answered: “Beetlecat Originals helped create Marta for river safety public outreach.”

They sent a reporter to attend Mascot Boot Camp. It’s run by Dave Raymond. “Dave was the original Phillie Phanatic — the first to inhabit the green costume in 1978. In the mascot community, he is something of a founding father.”
Dave is also founder of The Mascot Hall of Fame. It’s scheduled to open in Indiana in 2017. They said that he has run the Mascot
