Finally got registered, booked my flight, and booked my room for Rainfurrest! Anyone else going?

-Skunkbomb

I got myself a Twitter! It's mostly to follow artists and authors I like, but I may tweet stuff. Feel free to follow me on Twitter Skunkbomb123 and see whatever pops into my head.

-Skunkbomb

The con is less than 20 minutes away from where I live, so i'll probably stop by for a day or two. If you're going, do you know of any furry stuff doing on? I know there's a panel on fursuit making.

 sophiecabra has bills to pay, so she's selling her mammoth fursuit. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6769214/

 aruphonse needs money to help pay for his grandmother's rehabilitation after a fall, so he's doing story commissions and accepting donations. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6768990/

 scooze_flynx is struggling with depression and would like to talk with someone. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6762817/

While Roger wasn't claimed at my previous character auction, there was plenty of interest surrounding him, so i'm holding a new auction just for him.

Roger is a skunk with some hefty balls. He works at an office by day, but like to work out.

I've been thinking about editing some stories for a bit of extra cash and I was wondering if anyone would be interested. I would most likely charge by the page. If enough people are interested, I may open some slots later this month or early next month.

It means a lot to get all of those birthday wishes from you folks. I hope you folks had a good day too!

-Skunkbomb

I turn 23 today! I'm visiting my family at the moment and there should be cake later, but I don't have much planned for today. Maybe i'll watch Guardians of the Galaxy. This should hopefully be a good day and I hope you folks have a good day too!

I commissioned  henrieke a while back to do a pic of Chester and it came out wonderfully. Now she has prints available of that commission. You can pic it up at Confuzzled, where she'll be a Guest of Honor, or online here: http://henrieke.storenvy.com/collec.....-chester-print

Auction: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6705636/

I've got a lot of characters I don't use anymore, so I figured I'd auction them off. The characters are below. Under that will be the rules of the auction.

Angus the scottish terrier is often seen wearing a kilt and his hobbies include gardening and cooking (though you may not want to ask what the secret ingredient is).

Julia is a shy feminine squirrel while Ramona is a tomboy otter. The inspiration for these two is Romeo and Juliet, but as a modern day lesbian furry version.

Al is a Halloween-themed skunk. He'll will say his name is short for Alucard, but it's really short for Albert Cornelius Webster. He looks scaring people, but his favorite part is the candy. Yes, those fangs are real.

I haven't had one of these in a while. Feel free to ask me or my characters questions you may have.

 Naira posted a journal about a pup that needs surgery after an attack, so I thought i'd spread the word. Here's the GoFundMe page: http://www.gofundme.com/sgsxy4

I got back from FWA today and i'm happy to say the con was a lot of fun! The commissions I got will be posted later today. I'll give you some highlights below:

Thursday: I wouldn't have been in the lobby if I hadn't needed to ask the front desk about where to go to receive packages (somehow forgot my laptop at home and it was being shipped to me), but when I was down their, I ran into  facerot, who is a fun guy with a cool fursuit and gross art. Later, I played Cards Against Humanity and the cards seemed to fit perfectly with the theme "Welcome to FWA."

Friday: I got to say hello to  rukis again and I held back from talking her head off about Off the Beaten Path. I also saw  Donryu again and commissioned him and  ToonFX. They were both cool dudes who I hope to see at future cons. The Conservators' Center, the charity for the con, had Tut the fennec fox with them, and he was adorable! I attended a lot of writing panels at this con, most of them hpsted by  rechan and  nighteyes, but I had a lot of fun at the Adult Furry Fiction panel thanks to a little talk about bad euphemisms.

Saturday: I learned how to play Shadow Hunters. When most of the characters were in the Church section of the board, "Take Me to Church" by Hosier came on, which was amusing. I also met and commissioned  coconutmilkyway and she's a cool artist i've had my eyes on for a while in terms of getting a commission. I hope to get more work from her in the future. In the panel on World Culture and History in Furry Writing, we discussed how trench warfare would be different if one side was comprised completely of ferrets.

Sunday: I met  Kour, another cool person whose art i've admired for a while now. I also got to hang out with Facerot and lots of other folks (I didn't get all the names, so if you folks are reading this, let me know so I can follow you here!). I haven't met folks in the fandom who I can just hang out with. It's nice to be able to go off and do my own thing, but it can also get lonely. My con experience and my connection to the fandom felt more complete because of this, so thank you guys! I also participated in a Mario Kart tournament. Despite showing up late and having not played the game in months, I placed second in my group of four. Not good enough to move on, but I was happy with my performance, especially since two of the levels were from the DLC, which I haven't downloaded yet. Finally, I participated in a short writing workshop, which was probably my favorite writing event at the con.

I got a lot of complements on my characters, I was a lot less shy about taking pictures of fursuiters, and the hotel was connected to the mall, so getting food was convenient. I also like the theme for next year's FWA. I don't know if i'll be going, but i'd like to.

Speaking of future conventions, I was thinking about Fur The More, but i'll be with my family around the time of the con, so I won't be there. I've been thinking about moving out west after the lease is up in July on the house i'm in now. If I end up moving to Colorado in July, I could hopefully go to RMFC. If I end up moving to Washington, then I hope to be at RF. Even if I don't move to Washington, I hope to be at RF to pick up the Sword and Sorcery anthology, where you can find my short story "The Pendant of Westbriar Swamp."

-Skunkbomb

 aurorawolf could use any spare cash you've got lying around.

-Skunkbomb

My short story, "The Pendant of Westbriar Swamp," has been accepted for publication in this year's Sword and Sorcery themed anthology at Rainfurrest!

I'm not sure if i'll be at Rainfurrest this year or not, but I would like the go. I've had fun in Seattle the two times i've been in the past (though it would be my first time at the con). If you're going to Rainfurrest this year, I hope you pick up a copy. I hope to have more writing posted here for you folks to enjoy. I want to be a part of the writing community in the furry fandom and share stories that I love that I hope you'll enjoy as well.

-Skunkbomb

I'll be at FWA this year! Who else is going?

I may also go to Elliott's Spring Gathering since it's close to where i'm living. Anyone going to that? What's it like?

-Skunkbomb

 DarkIceWolf needs help paying for his dog's surgery, so any money you can spare will help a lot. If you don't have extra cash, please pass along the journal below.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6592016/

-Skunkbomb

I forgot to do this a few days ago, but thank you to all the folks out there who enjoy my characters and writing enough to watch me! I hope to have plenty more of that in the future.

-Skunkbomb

It's a bit last minute, but I hope to be at FWA this year! Now I need to find a room, so if you folks who are going need another roommate, I can fill that spot!

I don't smoke or do drugs, I never have more than two drinks when alcohol is involved, I don't snore, i'm fine with sleeping on the floor, and I won't touch anyone's stuff. I would prefer to room with people around my age (i'm 22) and to be at the main hotel.

Feel free to comment here, send me a note, or email me at holdyournose[at]yahoo.com if you've got a spot in your room that needs filled!
