Furry Writers' Guild Forum

M.C.A. Hogarth

Here you see a jaguar! She is a very tired jaguar. Hai 2 u, furry writers! I just got back from AC and it was fun and I was reminded I have not been keeping up with my furry roots, and this is disgraceful in a greymuzzle who was in the fandom back in the late 80s. -_-

Pull up a pillow, say hi, drink coffee, ask questions, etc! I am too overworked to bite! -_-

Hi and welcome! And sorry about the lack-of-email confusion. :slight_smile:

Oh, it’s not a big thing! I just regret missing the chat, which is what I signed up to attend. I miss the old days of hanging around FurryMuck’s Owlhaven or the Spiral, just chatting about random art stuff. :slight_smile:

Well, we’ll be at it again this Tuesday night. :slight_smile:

Welcome! I’ve read a minute proportion of your many many books and liked them all.

Welcome to the forum!
I’ve read a couple of your works and loved them!

Welcome.
I haven’t read anything of yours!

Lol, Husketeer! “Minute” :slight_smile:

(I appreciate your problem, though… I’ve started updating my Amazon bios so that they give a “quick start” guide right on the author page, because otherwise people get lost!). What did you read? :slight_smile:

Yay, thank you, Voice! What did you read? :slight_smile:

Hi, Dwale! I don’t blame you. I have had a pretty low profile in the furry arena. I’m hoping to change that, though, since a lot of my work has furry characters. :slight_smile:

Oh, if you have something I could actually get from the public library then I would be able to read you…r stuff.

You should be able to request any of my books through the library, yes… I know some libraries already have my books on the shelves, but I don’t know which ones. Either way, asking should do the trick. :slight_smile:

I’m not used to being able to find works from folks inside the fandom down at the ol’ library. But yeah, Las Vegas actually has an excellent library system, I can look up your stuff right here on the website…lemme see…nuuuuu, doesn’t look like we have any.

Let’s see…I started with Spots the Space Marine, and have also read A Distant Sun and Earthrise.

Definitely interested in more Pelted, Mindtpuch as I’ve heard good things about it, the Earthrise sequel, the Godkin Griffin…argh, so many books, so little time!

Welcome to the forums, MCA!

I’m one of those (apparent few) who haven’t gotten to read anything from you yet. How exciting, a new writer! :smiley:

What would you recommend as a first story to read from you?

Claws and Starships is the most recent one. Reviewed it on Goodreads. :slight_smile:

Yay! (Jess Owen here ^.^ )

offers more coffee As with other furry authors… I’m hoping to sit down with some of your books once I finish this draft of Book 3. >__< For now I’m just floating and skimming titles :smiley: Jealous you went to AC!!

Hmm. The forum didn’t send me email about this thread updating!

Husketeer–I know, I feel like I barely have any free time left. (Ursula Vernon and I were talking about it, which is how she ended up drawing a wild Free Time. -_- )

Jakebe–I recommend starting with ‘Mindtouch,’ which everyone seems to like best. Pastoral alien college student asexual romance, more or less? It’s a very ‘milk and cookies’ sort of story. :slight_smile:

Voice–Wow, that was a wonderful review! Thanks so much. I’m glad you liked it. And you’re not the first person to mention the Alliance’s complexity; I started adding an appendix to Pelted novels that talk about the different species of the Alliance, so people can flip back and get a quick description if it really bothers them not to know more. :slight_smile:

Copper–AC was fun! You should come to the next one! I am going to see if I can’t (fail to sleep while I) stay with Ursula again. The writing track folks were awesome. :slight_smile:

Hey! Nice seeing you here.

Greetings, fellow wordsmith!

I wonder if that could also be wordsally or wordsue? Yeah, those are the things that keep me up at night.

@mwalimu - Hey! I thought I’d wander over post-AC since I did pretty well selling the books I brought with me. I’m not sure about how the Sofawolf book’s doing, but hopefully okay also. They should be sending along a royalty statement soon.

@eduardosoliz - I am pretty sure ‘smith’ isn’t a gendered term, so ‘wordsmith’ is fine if you like it. I think smithing sounds far more arduous and dangerous than my process, though, which feels more like being used as some sort of vessel for a few months and then left wrung out and exhausted. Wordpriest? Storyavatar? Dunno. chuckle

I like that one!
