Stop beating around the bush. The mods just don't like ABDL. All this prevaricating and deep-diving into the thesaurus to find homonyms for 'Baby fur' isn't fooling anyone.

Kandrel's first novel, "Bringing Down Upworld", is now out! If you'd like to support a fox, go pick up your own copy over here! Or, if you'd prefer, there's en e-book version over here!

Good evening everyone, and surprise! I've been picked by the magical elfster fairies to submit the story A Number's Game (by Kergiby, narrated by the Voice of Dog, Khaki) to a round table of foxes. After much yipping and little bit of content that won't be documented here, they came to consensus. Many foxes were involved, but specifically this one is going to respond.

The story I'm reviewing can be listened to here: https://www.thevoice.dog/episode/a-.....-by-kergiby-18

First of all, I can appreciate the title. My immediate impulse was to say it was wrong, but after a moment I realized that it's not a game about numbers, it's a story about a very particular number, and that number's (possessive) game. It's a clever way to short-circuit my editing instincts. It's as if the author was waiting to go 'Ah hah! Got you'! Clever.

Then we get into the story proper, and I have both positive and negative feedback as the story opens. While I do get a fairly clear image of the characters that are involved, the beginning of the story is particularly weak because of the time spent describing rather than setting a scene or adding immediate conflict or action. There was nothing within the opening that grabbed me and made me want to listen to (or read) more.

Which is a shame, because once the action gets going there's a lot to recommend in this story! The story's got a good narrative style that keeps the scenes being described hot without spending too much time on any particular portion. I got a good feel for the main character through just the way she focused on each individual act.

I got less of a feeling from the rest of her friends, though, which I think is to the story's detriment. In its current form, it feels like a thinly-veiled device for the author to suggest a number of hot scenes to the audience. It wouldn't have taken much to give her friends more pronounced personalities. I understand that within the telling of the story they're all listening and eating it up as she's telling it, but I really lost the immersion that this was all happening between close buddies in a cafe. I believe peppering in interruptions, changes in tone and style as she dodged being heard by passing waiters or other clientele, and interjections from her friends much more frequently would have benefited it.

There's a real gem of an experience in here, and mostly it shines through with the lovely description. I can appreciate a scene being described only by its hottest elements, and letting the audience fill in the rest of the details. Just a little bit of extra kibitzing from the friends and from the unwitting crowd would transform it.

Think about it this way: the scenes she's describing are hot. That's undeniable, and a real credit to your writing style. What I think is missing, and could really elevate this story, is making the scene where she's telling her friends hot in itself, rather than just an excuse for exposition.

Overall, I enjoyed it! Thanks for the fun window into the shy puppy's private life!

Oh, by the way, that art's by  unciaa who deserves way more love than he got for this. It's a stunning piece.

Right. So there was this project I spent months editing for, and it worked me to the bone. To the BONE I say! It's even got one of my own stories in it. With that much work put into it, it'd be irresponsible of you not to get it and read it yourself.

Thanks to everyone who came by to enjoy my game at EF! I've uploaded all the character sheets, rules and scenarios included in the game. There's a few more resources (such as the winds cards and the special abilities) that don't translate so well into pdf. If anyone wants them, please just drop me a PM and I'll send them across in .psd.

Big thanks to  unciaa for the artwork. The game wouldn't have looked nearly so professional without it!

As part of the Bad Dog Book Club, my story On the Bright Beach is featured as read by Alex Vance.

Needless to say, I'm absolutely thrilled by the result. He makes Chris so, so sexy, and his Krytz is incredible. Go listen and enjoy, I know I did!

My husband an I are going to be in San Fran for the week prior to the con. We're going to be flying in on the 10th, and would love to meet some locals in the week before the con. Would anyone be willing to put us up for the few days prior to the con? Also, would anyone be interested in meeting up in the run-up week, either for a meal or for any other fun activities in the area?

Hallo again, all you fuzzy little bags of fluff and liquid love!

Something recently occurred to me while editing a piece of prose. The writer had gone into detail on a nice, steamy scene, and there were throbbing members here and slick thrusting there and bodily fluids everywhere. It was exactly what you'd expect from a piece of furry smut. It was even well written and well described, dripping colorful adjectives and solid metaphors liberally. From a technical angle, it was perfectly adequate.

But even with all that, it simply did nothing for me. It didn't even seem to do anything for the prose, even though it was presumably the centerpiece of the work. I had to go back and reread it, because I just couldn't fathom why I wouldn't be happy with perfectly valid "hot yiff." It took me a little while, but I think I finally figured out what was bothering me.

Even though sex is a physical activity, the eroticism of it is all a mind game. In other words, sex is only hot because you think it's hot. You can have as much detail about the positioning as you want, but it's nothing more than textual body tetris without insight into the character's mind. This is a conclusion that's been simmering for a while, and when I read back through my own writing, I can see my old pieces making exactly the same mistake. It's tough to see the difference, insidious, even, but (at least for me) it makes all the difference.

Originally, I floundered about trying to back this argument up. I *like* the positioning, I want to know what characters are doing, when, and how hard. It matters, it really does. But as I thought about it, that's all part of the fantasy; part and parcel to the mind-game. Think about it this way: how excited were you when you met up with that special someone, knowing for a fact that in four hours, you two *might* just be slick and oiled up on the bed, rubbing on and over and in each other? That excitement, the anticipation, the dreams and fantasies in your head when you imagined it, those are hotter than even the hottest sex you could have at the end of the anticipation.

This isn't to say that the physical act of sex is bad. Quite the opposite, but imagine what the sex would be like without the anticipation, without the fulfillment of dreams and fantasies. Would it be as hot? Hell, can you even imagine it? I can't. Those fantasies are so integral a part of the sex that I can't remove one from the other.

Okay, I take that back. I can imagine what it's like. I've played around when the fantasy just wasn't there. For whatever reason, the person just didn't interest me, or maybe they had kinks or fantasies of their own that were so alien to me that I couldn't understand them. Oh, sure, I had my fun, but it wasn't *hot*. It wasn't something that I looked back on two days later and thought "Man, that was great. I'm getting hard just remembering it." That's what the anticipation is for; that's why the fantasy matters. It's the difference between just a mechanical anatomical activity and the erotic.

I don't want to say this is a newbie mistake, because that's not technically true. There's lots of people new to writing who grasp this concept perfectly well. No, I'd say that it's a mistake made by people who aren't experienced with sex. I've seen it time and time again, chatting with people new to the scene, sometimes virgins, sometimes not, but always inexperienced. There's a focus on the physical, this overwhelming drive to insert tab "A" into slot "B". They'll talk about it and they'll write about it, to the exclusion of all else, as if that's the highlight of the show.

It isn't. It's a part of the circus, yes, but it's the sideshow to the mind-game's center ring. Give me sensory input. Give me perspective. Tell me how your character had been craving this, how they'd imagined just how it'd feel and, oh, it feels even better than they'd imagined. Show me how this is fulfilling the fantasy, how this is the culmination of the character's hopes and dreams. Make *me* feel just how the character's kinks are being tweaked, and how all the right buttons are being pushed. That's the difference between an instruction manual and erotica, and sorry, I don't fap to instruction manuals.

Just to show how much I believe the above, I have plans for a new story (probably in the next month or two.) The story will be the build-up, the anticipation. I'll write the fantasies and the dreams, with nothing but imagination and longing instead of physical contact. Maybe it'll be during the car ride, maybe it'll be while waiting for the plane to land. I haven't decided the scene or genre yet, but the story will stay within the protagonist's head, seeing just what he's hoping, just what he's praying for. Then the story ends just as the object of his affection walks into sight, with just the coy smile as a promise of what's about to happen off-camera.

I don't know if it'll be a good story, but it'll be a good exercise.


P.S. Listening to Guns and Roses' "Pretty Tied Up" takes on a whole new meaning when you're a fox. "Pretty tied up, hanging upside-down!" Mmmm... Okay, dammit, I know I just spent a whole post saying that the physical is just a scene, but that's a scene I want in on!

I worship tha sun. orz

Back in a week!

When commissioning me, you've got a few decisions you'll need to make about the content, length, and style of the story I'll write. To begin with, the most important decision is this: Sex, Sex with story, or story with sex?

Single scene (3k words): $25
Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/576716/

This is a short narrative, suitable for a single fun scene. If you're looking for just porn, this is your best option. I'll set the scene, give the descriptions, props, and supporting characters, then dive straight into the action. There won't be any character development, twists, or any plot with depth. Instead, you'll get a good, juicy scene with characters of your choice engaging in the activities that everyone knows and loves so thoroughly.

Sex with some story mixed in (6k words): $45
Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3558659/

This is a couple of related scenes with plot some small amount of character development and of medium length. In general, you can expect a story of this length to have normal plot progression. Figure that this is appropriate for a simple story, or one or two detailed sex scenes with story mixed in.

Story with some sex mixed in (10k words): $60
Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2973449/

This is a proper story with a beginning, middle, and end. It can, at your discretion, contain a number of sex scenes, or scenes that include sexual content, but there will be a central narrative that all of the scenes will be focused on progressing.

Extended story or special project (As many words as it takes to finish): By discussion, $80-120
Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3861480/

If you've got an idea that just can't be done justice within the confines of a word count, don't be afraid to contact me! I love a good project, and these commonly turn out to be some of my finest works.

Characters: I need to have some information about any characters you intend to be included in the story. The more detail about the character I get, the more specific I can be in narrative, so more information is better! Also, because this is a story, remember that personality of the character is just as important as the physical description.

I will require that you be the owner of every character you ask me to include in the story, or have contact details for the owner. If you want a friend to be included, I will need permission directly from them to use their character as well. I will not use any character whose owner I cannot reach for permission to use. This includes commercial characters under copywrite.

What this means: If you ask me to include a character that looks similar in some respects to Simba from Lion King, that's fine. It's just a point of reference. If you ask me to include Simba from the Lion King, the answer will be "no".

Theme: It's a good idea to come to me with a theme or genre for the story you'd like me to write. This can be a general as "Sci-Fi", or as specific as "Film Noir style murder detective story with sex set in a furry version of nineteenth century France." I can and will use any creative leeway you allow me to make a more compelling piece of prose.

Kinks and Limits: I'm very open minded (as some of my examples may have illustrated) but I do have my limits. I will not write the following:

- Sex including non-adults (specific age limit depending on species)
- Vomit/Scat

This list will grow when people ask me for things that make me go >.-

How it all works: Get in contact with me if you're interested with the details I've asked for above, and I'll write a synopsis. The synopsis is 100-200 words of description of what I intend to do with the story. This is your opportunity to really help me craft the story that you want written. Once the synopsis is accepted, I'll request half payment. I'll then go and write. I usually spend a week to a month on each individual story, depending on the length.

Once the initial piece is complete, I'll deliver the second draft, which is my normal "appropriate for posting online" quality. I'll ask for the remainder of payment at this time, before making any alterations that you may request. Once the icky business portion of the draft is done, I'll make modifications before the final post to make sure that the story meets your standards and fits as close to your idea of what you hoped to see! I do reserve the right to reject changes or charge an additional amount if the changes requested would require a rewrite of entire sections of the story.

If you have any ideas or requests that are outside of the boundaries of what I've laid out, please feel free to ask! Remember, the worst I can say is "no".

Dear developers of the world:

Hi. I'm sure you've met me before, or at least someone like me. I'm the person who shows up with a button I pushed, or a link I clicked, or a place where I pressed "enter", and all your pretty code went directly to cock. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. I'll even repeat it for you, and show you exactly how it went to cock, and maybe, if I feel I've got a firm handle on it, I might even tell you why it went to cock. I try to be a helpful guy like that.

Well, you'll take a look at it, nod sagely, and agree with me. Yup, when I click there, it quite definitely did all go to cock. Yes indeed. But, you might say, if I were to click over there and right here instead, it'll do the same thing. Sorted. Jobs a good 'un. Dust your hands and get back to work. Right?

No.

No no no no fucking no. Turn and face me, you monitor-tanned spawn of Borland. You're wrong. If I had a newspaper, I'd smack your nose with it. If I were in front of you, I'd rub your face against your compiler window until you smelled it. I know there's a workaround, I've used your product for (quite likely) longer than you have. Fuck, I can hop into your precious database and make it look like I want to without even touching your beloved user interface. I don't need that button. I do, however, have an infinite number of monkeys pounding on an infinite number of keyboards, and we call them "customers." Because of the law of averages, there are going to be customers who click on your little mistake, and when it goes (as we all agreed) to cock, they call me. My phone is ringing off the hook because of this cock-going. In fact, if you were to re-label my department "Cock", you wouldn't be far off, because your product seems to come here often!

I want to introduce you to a new acronym that I, in all of my internet-granted wisdom, am creating. The acronym is (drumroll please)

I I S I S W

This stands for "If It's There, It Should Work." Now, this is actually a magic little acronym, and I invite you to investigate its many flavors. In fact, this acronym is so powerful that it actually gives you a choice. Isn't that nice? Good little acronym! If you read it carefully, you'll see that if you choose not to fix that little fucking button that generates all the holidays in the land of cock, you could just remove it. Isn't that simple? Ain't that great? That means that if it's not there, you don't have to fix it! My little acronym friend and I have just miraculously saved you a load of time! Go take a jog, or have lunch. I hear there's a new girl in accounting, ask her out to a date! Fuck, buy a wing-suit and base jump from the top of our office building, I'm all for it!

But I promise you, Mr. Developer, if you tell me to just use the workaround one more fucking time, I will take you around the shed and introduce you to another acronym of mine. His name is shotgun, and I'll tell you a little secret, he's not actually an acronym.

-Your loving fox, Kandrel.

It's more likely than you think!

Hehehe! Wheeee!

I think I'm far enough to my practice to make it a regular thing at this point. I'm not going to get any better at writing if I don't practice, so here goes something. I'm going to write one story every work day, about 3-5 stories a week. Not every one's going to be as porny as the first 3 I've written here, but they were a good way to keep me motivated for the first few stories. Maybe I'll write up a few sessions I've had of Aun, I have more than enough stories to tell about that.

I'll never turn aside inspiration, though. If you guys have something you'd like to see, let me know! I've got nothing better to be doing at work, certainly, and who knows? Maybe you'll have a whole new story written to your own personal kinks to enjoy.
