I’ve neglected this poor blog for so long. Sigh. I suppose if they existed, Blog Protection Services would be on my doorstep right about now.
See, I’ve been juggling another online identity of mine, and I thought it was high time that I combined the two. In another online life, I draw furry art, and I’m in the process of writing some short furry humor stories. All clean, believe it or not. I know the fandom has a rather seedy reputation, especially among those who’ve only heard stories and would prefer to think the absolute worst of fandoms other than your own. (Like your Firefly fandom is all-loving and all-accepting and all-clean.)
Oh, yes, I’ve seen some pretty awful things. Even with safety filters on some sites, I still catch a glimpse of some things I’d rather unsee, like… ugh… diaperfurs. But that hasn’t deterred me from venturing on. I’ve found a lot of fun, creative artists, and I’m being inspired to improve my own art style.
That said, I wouldn’t mind contributing to the more adult side of the fandom.
Settle down, all right? I’m not planning on writing stories about wolves that like to hump machine guns. (Although I’m sure you can find such a story if you use the right terms in your favorite search engine.) I’ll still write my human-based romances and erotica. There are some stories that I can’t see being populated with anthropomorphic critters, such as the one I’m drafting now. Believe me, I tried replacing the humans with anthros. I even made the repulsive bookstore owner a toad (and I feel guilty for insulting toads everywhere). Just can’t work. I’ve got to have my tail-less monkeys back.
But there are some that would be a welcome challenge with said critters, especially when it comes to different species. Think of the trials an herbivore would have with a carnivore. A reptile with a mammal. Think of the societal rules and expectations in place. The possibilities are limitless. (Within reason, of course. I just don’t think a shrimp/capybara story would ever work.)
Now, will I draw furry erotica? I’m still undecided on that, and it’s still too early to give an answer. But if I do, it won’t be under my clean furry name, it’ll be under Sabrina Winters. Even though I’m combining the two names, I’m keeping them separate. Think of an author who uses her real name for romances, but uses a pen name for mysteries. It’s just a nice way to keep everything categorized.
So let me direct you to my new home on the web, which I’ll be sharing with my other name: Winterfern.com. All posts relating to romance/erotica will be tagged #sabrinawinters.
