Furry Writers' Guild Forum

Introductions
#1

Hello everyone, my name is Koakai. I hesitate to call myself a writer, since writers actually write, but I figure I would stick my head into the guild’s window anyways.

I just got back from lurking in the panels at Rainfurrest, where somehow I managed to place second in the writing competition. This is something that utterly amazes me, since I wrote that story just to prove I could both write one and submit it. I guess I need to stop drowning out those voices in my head by listening to podcasts.

I just wanted to say hi, and to note my lurking status. If my forum viewing habits are like normal, I will find myself not visiting here as often as I ought to. :wink:

Hi and welcome! (And congrats on taking second in the competition, too.) :slight_smile:

Congrats on getting second place in the competition! I won second place with a story two years ago, and then it got an Ursa Major nomination and won a Coyotl Award after getting published in the RF anthology. So, second place can be a pretty good place.

By the way, great subject line for an introduction thread.

Hello and welcome. Enjoy your stay and feel free to ask if you have any questions.

#5

Greets!

So you were the one who took second place! Huge congrats! I was one of the HMs, most notably the one where someone called out, “Why don’t you stand up?” and another answered, “She already is!” X3

I do hope you’ll submit your story into the RF anthology. It’s how I got my very first publication, Tech Flesh (which recieved an HM last year too XD).

I blame far too much MUSHing when I was younger. I always want to stick some sort of emote or action in places like that.

Hah. I was sitting in what was close to a 2 hour border line up. Ah sunny Sundays. If I had remembered how bad the border got when the sun was out, I would have stuck around for the ceremony.

I figure I want to throw a few random ass comments about me in here as well.

My hobbies that are not writing include geocaching, and silver smithing. I have a black smith forge set up at the family cabin but have not really gotten much of a chance to play with it since setting it up. I have recently fallen down the rabbit hole of fountain pens, something I blame Neil Gaiman for, since I saw a twitter post about a pen shop and got curious. One google visit later and I am lusting after inks in colours I never knew existed.

I am slowly building a tiny house on wheels since I came to the conclusion that I live in a very small footprint in my condo and want to have the freedom of being able to move simply by hooking the house up to a truck.

I listen to far too many podcasts, and play way too many games when I ought to be writing.

Ooo yay random tidbits!

My wolf and I hope to someday live in a mobile home for that very reason <3 We’re trying to save it for retirement though so we can have kippies first XD
