I do agree, cooking's definitely an art and adds to the community.
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
That's a fun way of putting it, yeah, if cooking's an art, then a recipe is a tutorial. XD
Do we have nothing to do with being furry?
It's not really relevant to furry in the traditional sense, but it benefits and applies to furries in the same way other non furry-specific clubs do.
Are we spam?
Not at all. I get a little overwhelmed by your submissions because you do so many at once. I do sometimes think you could space them out a little, but I don't regard it as spam.
Yes.
Yes, furries need to eat too dont they? XD
Nope.
Yes, i completely agree cooking is an art.
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
YES. Without the tutorial, it's kind of hard to cook the product..
Do we have nothing to do with being furry?
I wouldn't say it really relates to furry, but it's no different then someone uploading non-furry photography.
I don't see it being a problem on an art site such as this.
Are we spam?
I have to agree with
It would be nicer if you spaced out your submissions instead of mass uploading them at once. It gets a bit overwhelming when I have lot of recipes in my inbox :)
2. Never thought of it that way but technically yeah it is. =D
3. As Kirablue said, Not in the traditional sense. But If you think about it, anthro animals would need to eat, and therefore some would need to cook. Plus if your creative enough you can put a furry theme into food!
4. I personally dont think so. But i could see why some people would think that way.
Yes. I've seen things on this site that in no way pass as art yet it's allowed. FACCC IS an art and a great way for culinary artists to meet others and learn new things. The art institutes teach culinary.
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
Of course it is.
Do we have nothing to do with being furry?
We're furries with a similar passion. It's a great way for like minded furs to connect.
Are we spam?
Not at all!
It doesn't have to be covered in fur or scales to be fur. There are many fur chefs out there, and many recipes that revolve around paw or animal shaped cookies, muffins, cakes, etc.
I say you guys should stay, and keep doing what you've been doing!
Y'all aren't spam at all!
My questions to you are:
Do you agree with the above statement?
A resounding YES!
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
It most definitely is
Do we have nothing to do with being furry?
We have a lot to do with being a furry, we help promote healthy eating as well as teaching fellow furries how to cook.
Are we spam?
No!
"Are we spam?
No!"
Your dissing SPAM as a viable recipe food product.
Shame on you for your double standard 8-P
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking? Yes.
Do we have nothing to do with being furry? Honestly, not really. The members of the group may be furries, or fans of furries, but cooking itself is not a 'furry only' activity by any means. Maybe if this was a cooking group dedicated to making 'furry themed dishes' ( whatever those may be.. ) .. but for the most part, the theme of the group is pretty general, and not really furry specific. Only the members.
Are we spam? I wouldn't say so. The people who get updates from this place are mainly the members, and people who made their own choice to watch the page.
Eeyup, though not every sort of art is welcome here, that's become apparent.
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
Actually, not really. A tutorial is a how-to to get to a precise conclusion. I think the recipes posted are more of a guide to let people get to where they want to go, they don't have to be followed, and two different people reading the same recipe will often have two different results.
Do we have nothing to do with being furry?
Everybody's gotta eat, right? Even fantasy characters eat when they don't necessarily need to.
Are we spam?
I don't think so, everything posted has had not only time and effort put into it, but a recipe to show what's gone into it. Seems like quite the opposite of spam.
Yep
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
Yep.
Do we have nothing to do with being furry?
Neither does music, but we have a section for that. You're promoting things created by the community and giving us all a chance to share what we enjoy with others.
Are we spam?
I don't think so. Found many recipes I like here, as a matter of fact ^^
Oh definitely yes!
Like was already stated, furries have to eat as well
Definitely not spam. Spam is useless. This is the complete opposite!
Also, I got a heck of a giggle out of you quoting me directly!
As always, thank you so much for everything you do, Yelleena. *hugs*
Q: Do you agree with the above statement?
A: yes, cooking is an art it should be allowed on here.
Q: Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
A: yes. well it is kinda directions on how to make art and how to live.
Q: Do we have nothing to do with being furry?
A: yes, because its part of survival
Q: Are we spam?
A: no.
Yes, most definitely, Cooking is very much an artform and FACCC is very much a good community of artists unto itself.
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
Yes, Recipes are indeed tutorials for creating the finished art. Whenever I post recipes I post them up as tutorials since they tell someone how to make something.
Do we have nothing to do with being furry?
Well, yes and no. Not directly (except for perhaps the occasional recipe that has a furry theme to it) but we have furries who cook! So we are banded together not just for our love of food but for our love of the furry community.
Are we spam?
Not in the least! If someone feels we are spam they need to unwatch the community! Watching someone is completely optional and if someone you are watching, optionally, is creating what you consider "Spam" then you just stop watching them. I for one look forward to the posts from FACCC to see what others are making and get my own ideas. It's one of my favorite communities.
Yes
Furries need to eat just like anyone else
No
recipes are a tutorial, and also shows you again that it is an art as not all people can cook , not to mention make it great
cooking has everything to do with furry as we all know you can't survive baking in a fursuit without the right nutrition
Spam no, cook with spam if you must , but where's the meat lol
Yes.
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
In a sense. Follow exactly or tweak to make the recipe your own. It can even be used purely as inspiration to create one's own new recipe.
Do we have nothing to do with being furry?
Well, it's a furry group on a furry site contributed to by furries so, most definitely has to do with furry.
Are we spam?
Nope. This group puts out real content and it's delivered to those who wish to watch the group. As others have said, getting a flood of recipes is a bit much but, that's not spamming as they're all unique entries.
That fur was trolling, plain and simple. And what I find ironic is - ok- he says you shouldn't put out tutorials- yet on his own page, he has tutorials for making a fursuit?
Really? Let me point out the obvious to the oblivious -
~ You need ingredients, steps, patience and time to make a dish.
~ You need the materials, steps, patience and time to make a fursuit.
What is the difference ? (BESIDES eating it vs. wearing it, duh :P) And I would disagree that cooking isnt an art.
You can look at/to furs like Junowolf, DocFGeek, HuttserTCoyote, Starallon, ShiningLion, Morphine, Blimpwolf, Kros, J3T, JenFoxworth, and even Kajitorataotsu if you dont believe me. :p
ALL of them furs. ALL of them- you have NO idea how much I admire them all, and it is because of their inspiration and all of the other furs that are doing this cooking and showing off their deliciousness to all and their ideas, that keep me inspired !
COOKING IS YOUR OWN CREATION, AND THEREFORE - YOUR OWN FORM OF EXPRESSION. -THAT- IS ART. Enough said!
I truly feel that, or, when I am forced to chow down on *cringe* Hamburger Helper...really? Really?? You couldn't have thought outside of the box? (literally?)
When -I- am not able to make something different - just to try - I feel held back. I seriously do. And I get enough b.s. at home from my folks about it, but dammit, I love cooking and trying something different. To BE different. To stand up and say, you know what? THIS is what -I- made. Maybe it's even showing off as I said before as well- but again, dont we ALL do that in one way or another? (And for some furs, quite literally, in showing off *coughs* toys and what not...but I digress :P)
TL;DR I know ...
SO: To sum it up-
Q1: Yes - Q2: Yes - Q3: Its being cooked BY FURS, FOR FURS. - Q4: If you post in moderation, it isnt spam. And I'll even be more honest- I've seen a few bursts, but nothing that would be considered as flooding. (And for me, the more recipes, the better anyways :P)

...Yield not to misfortunes, but advance all the more boldly against them ! From: http://latin-phrases.co.uk/quotes/achievement/
Fursuits and things that are directly related to furries could be argued to have more of a place here on this site.
So I do understand his point there. That doesn't mean I agree with him (obviously, or this club would have never been created in the first place).
Which is why it was decided to put it to the fans/members of the club. My personal belief is what was stated above, and I'm truly glad to see so many agree. :)
Which probably would have caused drama - something furs are already known for too :P
I believe a recipe is an outline for a finished product, not necessarily a tutorial, it takes a little bit of focus and work to make it to the actual finished product.
FACCC is NOT spam.
Now, does FACCC promote the community? Absolutely! The furry community is vast and diverse. There are a lot of us here that can cook and like to share our passion. Much the same way that there are a lot of us here who like cars, trains, military, etc. This group promotes creation, creativity, and the sharing of ideas. While I believe that cooking does not have anything to do with being a furry, I do believe that this group has a place on this site.
As far as spam is concerned, I'd love to see some recipes featuring it! This site IS NOT spam. To call this site spam is like calling the other special interest groups (like
In summary:
Cooking is an art: Yes
FACCC club promotes the Community: Yes
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking? No
Do we have nothing to do with being furry? Yes and No
Are we spam? No
2. Yes
3. Mostly no? But I don't find that relevant.
4. I wish you didn't do burst uploads, because my first instinct is to just nuke. >: I'd prefer it if you released over the week than all at once.
Is poetry furry? Rarely.
Is photography furry? Rarely.
Is leather work furry? Rarely.
is general crafting furry? Rarely.
Is cooking furry? Rarely.
Are all of these forms of art? Yes.
Do furries create all of these things? Yes.
Should any of these things not be allowed on a furry art site? No.
A painter is to paint, what a chef is to food.
I shall create a SPAM dish.
Recipes are a tutorial.
As far as I'm concerned, being furry has nothing to do with they TYPE of art that is being made, or even if you're an artist or not. It shows support for our bakers, chefs, and those who find culinary art to be a great hobby, and it spreads the love to share recipes (especially some of the creative ones I've found through faccc).
I don't think you're spam. I quite enjoy finding a handful of recipes through faccc every week.
Yush
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
Yush
Do we have nothing to do with being furry?
I have nothing to do with being furry other than when people pay me to draw them, and I'm still here XD
And from what I understand it's just a way to identify one's self. So, if being a furry is already separate from art in that way, any and all art created by a furry could be considered furry art no matter the media. :P Sort of like... Northern Renaissance art is created by someone from that part of Europe. A lot of them traveled to Italy to see and study those masters but any art they created there is still considered 'northern' because of the artist, no matter their location or medium.
Are we spam?
Well spam is indiscriminate. So I say no. There is a targeted audience that will appreciate seeing the recipes.
By the logic FACCC is spam... I could say everyone who has ever posted a sparlkedog is spam. But just because I'm not the target audience for that image and I don't appreciate it, doesn't mean it's spam. :3
Yes ma'am
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
Thats a wonderful way of putting it
Do we have nothing to do with being furry
Yes, Furries have to eat, furries who cook are part of the community
Are we spam?
I never had spam, and I don't think I've seen any spam recipes on the site.
But seriously no we aren't spam far from it
Do you agree with the above statement?
yes and no. cooking is an art when you start that whole 'experimenting' process to it. if yer just following a rinse/repeat guide/directions, there is no art to it, yer just mindlessly doing what yer told.
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
art is the process of the piece, to me. the finished work is not the art itself but the result of the artwork. recipe and tutorials are just guidelines, as stated above. the real art of it is when you find your own twists and takes to those recipes and play with them to make them further enjoyable! :)
Do we have nothing to do with being furry?
cooking isn't exactly "furry" honestly. i mean if yer making yer stuff into animal shapes or using fur on it (some people would. <<) then it's just food. so 'having something to do with furry' in the field of cooking....i'd say no. but if you are meaning 'are we relevant in this fandom in some form or another' then yes....very mildly. though a vast majority of the folks here don't even cook or share the recipes, so the folks who follow here more often use them. :) (which is where that 'mildly' comment plays in)
Are we spam?
spam is delicious. so yes. you are spam! you are spam molders and masters! so fuck off if ya don't agree with how amazing spam can be! <3 (this is obviously a dorky positive comment if you can't read blatancy...)
just my opinions on it :) again, outside voice here. not part of the group, nor do i follow ya'll. just stumble across here now and then via a few close buds who are in here. nevertheless i hope the outside input helps some :)
REAL spam accounts here-
yes
Do you think a recipe is a tutorial to creating the art (finished product) of cooking?
yes and a jumping off point to doing more art
Do we have nothing to do with being furry?
Oh please there is Vore isn't there
Are we spam?
Only when we cook with it
