I'm starting a new project and posting it on my Patreon!: http://patreon.com/hakirsch

This is an 18+ furry early-steampunk-era story about a maned wolf named Trevor who is struck by lightning as a teenager and gains the ability to manipulate electricity, falls in with an underdog research group studying said newfound electricity, and gets into gay kinky BDSM and gearfetish hijinks along the way. There'll be interesting outfits, sex districts, badly-named geographical areas, lizard people, pirates, BDSM kink, and it's pretty damn cool! It's really not quite like anything I've written before, and in a whole new world.

There'll be the first chapter posted as a teaser on here for everyone, very soon!

Anyway if you want to read it starting now and not some time in the vague future when we're all living in a cyberpunk dystopia or something, feed me money --> http://patreon.com/hakirsch

I have my latest work, "Wolf Play", up here on Smashwords:

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/882954

You may notice the cover looks different. Both Smashwords and Amazon did not like my previous cover done by  malorne - Amazon blocked it entirely and I had to reupload it as a new title. Smashwords told me specifically it was the cover, and let me fix it. I made my own out of a photo of myself, although I will probably edit up the one from Malorne later as it's cooler.

Anyway, once my KDP Select status times out on my other ebooks on Amazon, I'll put them up on Smashwords too. And I'm working on another thing, called "Rise of the Leatherwolf" for now. That sounds fun, doesn't it?

Guess what I've done? A new gay furry erotica eBook! "Captured by Cowboy Cougars", available on Amazon Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N2SGF1C

Cover art by Forge, titled by me.

Synopsis:

"Captured By Cowboy Cougars" is hardcore gay erotica with an anthropomorphic (read: furry) twist.

Jacob wants to escape his crappy life by crossing the desert wasteland to the west coast, where everything is better. Too bad that desert wasteland is full of awful things, like a pair of cowboy cougar slavers that turn his simple task into a sweaty, filthy, sexy nightmare.

I wrote a (short, like it's a novelette not even a novella) book and you can read it!

My gay werewolf erotica tale "Taken by Biker Werewolves" is available for purchase on Amazon Kindle Direct.

Get it here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017GOTKVC

The premise: it's gay werewolf erotica. GAY. WEREWOLF. EROTICA.

Okay fine, here's the blurb I blurbed:

Caleb Sumner runs a small bar on the outskirts of a small town, where he keeps his homoerotic interests to himself. When a gang of gay bikers shows up looking for a filthy good time, he’s shocked and forced to confront his own insecurities. When they turn out to be werewolves, things take a turn for the sweaty (and furry) as Caleb gets what he’s been wishing for and the werewolves get him, over and over.

Back in 2011, I saw a posting for an anthology called, "Will of the Alpha". The idea was a BDSM anthology, for furry stories, gay or straight. I promptly wrote a story, got about two thirds through, and then had a crazy idea.

How many of you have seen all of Star Trek: The Next Generation? You're probably familiar with Data, the ship's lovably aspergers-ish android. At several points, he took various body parts off, and I distinctly remember how it looked. This came up on twitter one day, and I spontaneously thought, "OMG! WHAT IF YOU HAD INTERCHANGEABLE BODY PARTS AS A FURRY? YOU COULD PUT ON PONY PARTS FOR REAL!"

And that became, "Attachments", my second story to be published in an anthology. (The original thing I wrote became litter in my Google Docs account.)

I couldn't leave it alone. It exploded in my head. Leo and Dary had strange adventures in sexuality; Leo struggled with his meddling genital cyberneticist (!), and then a really insane thing happens to...

Okay, anyway, I basically started writing a pile of novel pieces as short stories. I just haven't been able to complete it all and make it work together.

So, I decided I'm going to start posting each piece, in reading order, to the internet. If I then feel like the whole thing is really worth it, I'll smush it together and tie it all up and publish it as my first full-length novel called "Full Transfer".

Got it?

So go read "Attachments", right now! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15584263/


And if you like it, buy the anthology it's in: http://furplanet.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=566

I'm taking story commissions! Gay furrotica story commissions. $75 for 7500-10k words. You can comment here and note me all you want, but if you do I'll tell you to email me: hawk at hakirsch dot com.

Payment will be by paypal only. I don't have any meaningful way to receive other payment.

Hopefully if you are reading this, you have some idea what kind of stories I like and stuff I like in general, so you won't go, "can you have my rainbow-fur cuntboy teenage housecat with bat wings wear a diaper?" No offense meant to people who like those things, I'm just not likely to say yes to that kind of idea and if I did I'm not likely to do a great job and you will spend money on something and be upset.

I could write up some sort of Not-Yet-Frequently-Asked-Questions but it's a work morning and I just woke up.

Hey everyone, I'll be in Bad Dog Books' ROAR vol. 5, which is a collection of stories themed around the idea of keeping a secret. My story's called "Alter Child", and the only thing I can tell you without spoiling the secret is that Alter Child is the name of a band.

Well, it's also obviously a furry story.

Anyway, you can pre-order it here:

http://furplanet.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=716

Or pick it up from FurPlanet at AC 2014!

"Taboo", which I always want to misspell with two B's, is coming out soon! It's an adult anthology by  rechan featuring my story, "Complete", along with a bunch of other stories by other people! Because it's an anthology about taboo relationships!

The cover art is by  kadath.

You can pre-order it on FurPlanet here: http://furplanet.com/shop/category.aspx?catid=171

Or you can buy it at Furries With Attitude's world tour, I mean Furry Weekend Atlanta, from Furplanet.

FYI, "Complete" is a prequel-sequel to my story, "Attachments", from the anthology "Will of the Alpha".

I'm not sure if I'm going to leave FA or not - probably not, unless FA decides to ban stories or something. That photo thing they did a few years ago pissed me off, though, and the lack of meaningful site development grinds my gears a bit.

But I am also over on Weasyl and I intend to bring it up to parity with here and SoFurry, and also to post all new stories there.

So, go weasyl me: https://www.weasyl.com/~hawkwolf

I haven't posted a story in a while. My productivity has been kind of low lately. The amount of stuff I start working on, the amount of words that actually come out of me, is really kind of large. I wish Google Drive Docs Writely Whatever had an option to give you the word count of every word processor document, because it'd be a huge number for me.

But I really am working on some stuff. Be patient.

Just felt like putting up a journal to replace the "gee my car's weird" one.

I am not a car expert. I am not a gearhead. I am, however, slowly beginning to like cars more and more. Since I just bought one, I'm going to review it.

I started off driving a Toyota Van (aka the Bolivian Terrorist Van), then graduated to a Toyota Previa (The Blue Jellybean), then bought a Scion xB (which was still a Toyota but shaped like a toaster this time). The xB was a great car in that it was cheap, spacious, still a compact car, and economic. Those are all really good 'getting from a to b' characteristics. However, as a car that you drive, it stank. It had no power, the engine sounded like it would blow up if you revved it up, it smelled like farts all of the time (a known issue), and hitting a bump larger than a pebble made a sound like something was punching through the sheet metal. Also, turning a corner meant you felt like you were going to understeer into a ditch or roll over, with lots of tire squealing. And the shifter felt like it was a sponge. The clutch felt like it was another sponge.

Now, I have a Nissan Juke SV FWD 6MT. You can see a picture of one here: http://www.nissanusa.com/juke#/phot.....terior-photos/ The sort of slate one in the 360 thingy looks exactly like my car. It looks either like a frog, a hippo, an alligator, or from some angles, somewhat catlike. The headlights are from some little European rally car, the wheel bulges are from an old Corvette, the front grin is like someone shrunk the smile on a Murano, and the back door handles are those weird 'hidden' ones.

If you think this car looks like a hunk of ugly shit, you can stop reading, because you will probably not ever change your mind. Go buy a WRX or some old crappy furry car you can 'fix up' or a BMW or something.

Otherwise, it is easily summed up as: one gigantic quirk.

There are no places to put your stuff, really - the cargo area is cut off by the hatch, and the floor is rather high so it isn't that big in the back. Back seat passengers will hate you for making them get into it unless they're short or have no legs. There are no storage cubbies. The dashboard is too curvy to set stuff upon. The radio is irritatingly bare-bones, and the available nav system... forget about it.

The suspension is quite harsh, the engine tone sounds more like a blender than an engine (the CVT model is far more blender-like), the direct injection system clatters like a diesel at startup or under high rev/low load conditions, and the programmed rev float that makes shifting easier makes it impossible to 'creep' along in first gear without giving yourself whiplash. The door armrests are too high to use, the window opening makes it painful to reach out into ATMs. The brake pedal makes an annoying clank when you quickly step off it (it's only a cosmetic issue). The automatic climate control tends to fry you in winter and freeze you in summer. The hood over the gauges seems to be off center, although it's designed that way. The seats are kind of uncomfortable at first, and aren't bolstered very well - combined with sitting upright, you have to hang on tight when taking a corner quickly. They're also hard to adjust if you have the wrong combination of body parts, so you end up too close to the steering wheel or having the active headrests tilt your head forward. On top of all that, there's no torque under 2500rpm.

So aside from being 'ugly', it probably sounds like this car is basically crap. But, and this might be due to Nissan and Renault owning each other, the Juke has a certain Je Ne Sais Quoi that makes it quirkily awesome.

No place to put your stuff? Why do you need stuff while driving around, anyway?

No torque under 2500rpm? Yes, but thanks to the turbocharger on the little 1.6L engine, you get almost flat torque from about 2800 to the fuel cutoff at about 6400rpm, and that means you have almost all of the 177ft-lbs to play with when you're actually moving. Keep the RPMs low and you'll get a turbo kick every time you shift, not to mention a bit of huff from the turbo dump valve. Keep them over 3000 and you won't feel but a tiny little smidge of turbo lag. And unlike my old xB, the 1.6L in the Juke really _wants_ to be revved up a lot. The engine sound really is terrible, although an aftermarket glasspack exhaust helps quite a bit.

The transmission has one of those damped clutches that just sort of goes in and out, but combined with a notchy shifter, you can really bang through gears quite fast. With the upgraded exhaust, there's even a nice gurgle when downshifting, which is easy enough to do with the rev float (2nd gear takes double-clutching most of the time, though.) 6th gear is not super tall, but that means you tend to be on boost at highway speeds so you can pass without downshifting unless you're trying to drive like a nutcase. Fuel economy is eh, about 27MPG combined. However, I drive the shit out of it, and get 27MPG. On 10% ethanol - premium, for maximum power. It's a high-compression engine with a turbocharger; that's how they roll. (There's some forum talk about how the engine runs too rich, which some ECU tuners are planning to fix. It runs rich enough to soot up the exhaust pipe quickly.)

I test drove two of the CVT-equipped AWD models, which have some additional fun bits. The X-Tronic 2 CVT is quite decent most of the time, hurtling you 0 to 60 quite fast, although they tend to exaggerate the initial boost lag and make it feel like you're in mud until you hit 15MPH. Otherwise, it's quite responsive. The AWD has independent rear suspension and true torque vectoring AWD, which helps yank you through corners. It really works, although it isn't an off-road 4WD system. The manual shift feature on the CVT even works fairly well, although the lever is irritatingly backwards from a manual shift lever and there are no 'flappy paddles' on the steering wheel.

While the suspension really is rough and the short wheelbase means you bounce around, going through corners the car really seems to want you to try going faster, rather than scaring you into slowing down. 35MPH corner? You can probably take it at 55 with no sweat. Even more surprising, dirt roads are no more unpleasant to drive on than pavement. My xB felt like it would shake to bits on a dirt road, but the Juke happily skitters along in a cloud of dust. While FWD cars are not meant for drifting, I might have drifted through a dirt corner the other day 'by accident'.

Plus, on road trips, it's really quite comfortable - cruise control in a stick shift even works quite nicely thanks to the turbocharger's torque blast, only requiring downshifts if you actually have to go up a steep hill or quickly pass another car.

After a whole lot of babbling: The Juke is weird. It is far from perfect, and is probably not a good first choice unless you want a weird-looking sporty car that is form over function (but still functional). As a 'my first sporty car', it is definitely a blast.

My story "Attachments", featured in the latest Bad Dog Book Club podcast, is really from a new anthology edited by  rechan called "Will Of the Alpha".

It's now available from Furplanet! You can get it here:

Will Of The Alpha

My story, "Attachments", is featured in the current Bad Dog Book Club! So, Skip Ruddertail and Toonces post up a story for people to read, and also have someone read it aloud on the podcast thing. Then, the next week, they discuss it in another podcast.

"Attachments" is in the 'read it aloud' stage, which terrifies me. In a good way. I haven't listened to it yet because that sort of thing makes me really really awkward. It's like watching someone you know watch porn with someone you know in it. AWKWARD!

Anyway, you can find it here:

http://baddogbookclub.com/reading-2.....rsch-aka-hawkw

You can also very soon order "Will of the Alpha", an anthology edited by Rechan, featuring the above story.

And on the subject of Bad Dog Books, "FANG 4" is now available, featuring my story, "Twist The Blade". You can find that here:

http://furplanet.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=561

It's that time of year again, where people in relationships get all stressed out trying to prove that they love their significant others, and people who are single get all upset because they aren't getting stressed out proving their love to their significant others!

I'm such a negative Nancy.

Actually, this is a positive journal. I've been with my BF,  chadfoxx, for almost seven years. There's no better way to prove you love someone than to embarrass them on FA.

 furplanet and Bad Dog Books (who are now part of FP) are releasing FANG vol. 4 at Further Confusion in San Jose in like, oh my god, a week or something!

It's full of erotic stories about furries and "life after high school", by authors such as:

Whyte Yoté, Sylvan Scott, Scott Maddix, Tym, Toonces, H. A. Kirsch, Anima, Lindskold Janis, Tyler David Coltrane, Lycanthromancer and Metassus.

That's right: I'M IN IT. That means you have to buy it.

The cover is illustrated by  blotch which also means you have to buy it.

I'm going to MFF 2011. So is  chadfoxx

Whee!

I'm going to be writing a novel. It's going to be science fiction erotic drama. (I don't think I write what is considered 'romance'.)

It's going to kick ass with horse hooves.

I originally was going to leave my photos up, because I had submitted them and they had not been removed yet. Most, if not all of them, violated the AUP. Specifically, they violated this phrase:

"fetish gear/clothing"

In my opinion, the administration has made a mistake including that line. There is no given definition of fetish gear or clothing, but based on what I have seen from people whose photos have been removed, if something is made as fetish gear (as in, stated it is for that purpose) or is normally used for sexual situations, even if it is inherently non-sexual and not graphically obscene, it is fetish gear. That means that a rubber dog hood from BlackStyle.de is fetish gear, but a rubber werewolf mask from a halloween store is not, even though neither is inherently sexual as a simple object. That means a ball gag, which can appear in images on non-prime-time television or even in newspapers that are general access, is considered fetish gear and is not allowed on this site.

That attitude is stupid.

No one reading this journal who watches me would probably think otherwise. The idea of scrubbing all potential sexuality from photographs must have either been a) some legal advice, or b) someone's personal opinion. Considering that there are somewhat vocal groups of users who 'do not want to see that kind of stuff' dancing across the uploads page, even with the mature filters on, I'm leaning towards B.

However, I do want to use FA to post stories and commission pictures that I get, so rather than get my account suddenly suspended in the future as I have heard others suffer, I am going to remove all of my photos.

If you want to see photos I have taken, for now, you can go to my Flickr page:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/hawkwolf81/

You will probably need a Flickr account to see most of them, and a few that have explicit sexual content require that I friend you. That is playing by Flickr's rules about marking content as mature. Flickr is owned by Yahoo! and creating an account based on an existing Yahoo! account is trivial, so if you want to see them and don't have an account, spend a few seconds and set up an account. Plus, it will give you somewhere to upload all those convention pictures.

Well well well, I have a website now. It's going to be a blog of things related to my stories, kind of an exploration into the world I've slowly created over the years and also tangential literary analysis or some shit like that.

http://www.hakirsch.com

I also have joined the Furry Writers Guild! I can't put the little icon thingy on my profile yet, but now that I have had something actually published ("The Haircut", in ROAR 2, http://baddogbooks.com/roar/roar-2/ ) I figured I should join up.

I cannot confirm or deny if I am going to be published in anything else in the future. Smirk.

A lot of people have looked at my page. Over 15,000. Wow. That's exciting. Hopefully they enjoy reading about creepy tortuous foxes who like anesthesia, psychotic cougars, country-boy tigers, moody doberman pinschers, stereotypical black wolves, lions in business suits, and zebra-ponies. That's just my stories... My photos just involve me wearing cool shit, and  chadfoxx tied up in my old basement looking like a pouty fox bitch.

Speaking of stories, one of my stories (which is not posted anywhere else) is in Bad Dog Books' ROAR vol. 2 - the story is "The Haircut" and the book is heeeyah:

http://baddogbooks.com/roar/roar-2/

I probably mentioned that before. I should mention it again because shameless self-promotion works pretty well for that fox guy who writes about furry football... And yes, there are more stories coming!

That's it. I just wanted to write something so that I had a journal up top that wasn't some topical thing that had since passed. Like "MURRY YIFFMAS" and it's now August or something.

I'm going. Who's gonna be there?

(That would be Furry Connection North, in case you can't use google for some reason. Like, I dunno, you're too busy #WINNING or something.)

This journal will contain no drama!

So, I've been writing some weirdass stories about violent, gross, and somewhat unusual fetishes. If you like breath control, extreme snowballing, bloody sex, foxes who pee themselves while videotaping bloody sex, anesthesia, almost-snuff, mis-use of dangerous medical equipment, irascible Polish cougars, and other weird stuff.. well, read my stories. They're all available here on FA, on http://www.hawk.sofurry.com, and http://www.inkbunny.net/hawkwolf

In other news, I have a formspring account. I guess that means you can ask me things like, DURP WHAT AMINUL DO U WANTS TO BE and I can answer by saying, "Take a nap since you obviously wore yourself out writing that deep, philosophical question." It's http://formspring.me/hakirsch and it hooks up to my twitter, which is http://twitter.com/hakirsch so that my embarrassing reveals are broadcast to the entire world, to be archived on the internet for when I need to get a job, and ridiculed by people who think Le Twittre is Le Stupid.

: lilchiwolf: now lives with me and does arts! You can even pay her to do arts for you!

Uhm. Let's see. It's fucking cold in the D...

Okay, I'm done.

Years and years ago, I wrote a story for a friend of mine ( jimmywolf) where one of his characters was harrassed and then rescued by a black asshole wolf named Hawk. That's where Hawk came from; the character didn't exist until then.

Then, I decided to rewrite the story, but explain a bit about who Hawk was. Instead, I ended up just writing a whole bunch of stuff.

This is that stuff, and I'm not posting it on FA. Why? FA's interface for reading stories sucks balls. Instead, I'm posting it on InkBunny. Please refrain from denigrating IB. If you want to read it, you need an account. Oh, the horror, an account! Someone call the fucking Waaaahmbulance.

Here we go:

http://inkbunny.net/submissionsview.....o&user_id=

That's the whole series.
