Hmmm, so I'd like to start stretching my writing muscles on here... I write fanfic for various TV shows and movies already so I know the ropes of ordinary fanfic pretty well, but I'm starting to pick out some details about the way furry fic tends to go. Making notes as much for myself as anything.

Transformation - in which Our Hero gets unwittingly, accidentally or somehow or other turned into an anthro animal. Wish fulfillment much? ;) Also a classic plot device which can be done in a thousand ways.

Vore - I think this one is the flip side of the pregnancy kink I seem to see around in art so much. I mean, a lot of furries are gay men, right? And gay guys can't be pregnant, so how else do you carry someone around inside you to love them and look after them? Simples. Eat them. Welcome to Furry World XD

Gratuitous Shagging - what it says on the tin. The thing I really notice most is that there are so many first times and deeply emotion-driven stories in furry fic; it's not that the sex isn't there in fiction, but it's just not so out-and-out porny as often as the art can be. There's a sort of innocence to the whole thing which I really love. Makes me wonder how good cynical old me will really be at writing furfic, but we'll have to see.
