Hi Fred,
Would my ‘Water’ submission from Gods of Fur be appropriate enough for this theme so as to be worth submitting? It’s two tribes at war, but not certain if it’s close enough to what you were looking for thematically.

Oops; I missed this post. Sorry.
No, sorry. “Water” is more of a personal-duel story, not a warfare story. It could be considered as a confrontation between two factions within a tribe, but it’s still not large-scale enough to qualify as warfare.
I might add that as of today, there is just one more week to submit stories for The Dogs of War. At this point there are enough good submissions to fill the anthology (150,000+ words), so what we are looking for now is stories so good that they will squeeze out those that are only okay.
Either that, or FurPlanet Productions will increase the book’s maximum word-count.
There have been both an increase in submissions in the last half-week (and some of them are excellent; many thanks), and in letters asking, “I have this idea; would it fit into your book?” Frankly, if you haven’t even started your story yet, you’re not likely to have it finished by October 1st. If you’re working on it but it may take a week or two after October 1st to finish it, please let me know before the deadline.
The requested word length is 2,000 to 20,000 words. We may accept 21,000 or 22,000 words, but for anything much longer than that, consider expanding it into a novel instead. Submissions should include the writer’s mailing address, to save us having to ask later where to send your payment and contributor’s copy. And please include your real name, unless your fursona name will be recognized by your mail carrier.
Oops again! We did not say whether simultaneous submissions are accepted.
No. If you have already submitted your story to someone else, or you want to, please do not send it to me.
The Dogs of War is now closed to new submissions, except for those writers who have requested and received an extension of a few days.
FurPlanet’s goal was 120,000 to 150,000 words, and over 240,000 words (not counting rejections) have been submitted. It will take a few days to decide which stories make it into the anthology.
Well that deadline went whooshing by for me o.o Going to still work on my idea as I’m able in case there’s a sequel though. I’m pretty excited about it.
Yes, there will be a sequel. FurPlanet Productions was hoping to get about 20 stories, adding up to 120,000 to 150,000 words. We got almost 40 stories adding up to over 260,000 words. So we’re going to publish two anthologies; the first for Further Confusion 2017 as planned, and the second for either Anthrocon 2017 or FC 2018.
All the stories will be paid for now. A little less than half the writers will have to wait a while longer to see their stories in print, but they won’t have to wait to get paid.
There’s a little room left in The Dogs of War II, or The Dogs of War: Aftermath, or whatever we call it – not enough to put out a call for more submissions, but if anyone has an idea for a story that they didn’t have enough time to write, or wants to write a second story, we can probably fit it in. Please let me know.
We got stories from the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore (hi, MikasiWolf), and one arrived just before the deadline from Ljubljana, Slovenia. Is this the first furry story from Slovenia? MikasiWolf is the only author (so far) to have stories in both anthologies.
Well. A sign to never give up. I need to get back to work.
Hooray! Stories for the second The Dogs of War anthology have now been received and accepted from Alice “Huskyteer” Dryden and Jaden Drackus.
Does anyone else still want to submit a story? Please contact me. It hasn’t been decided yet whether to publish the second anthology for Anthrocon 2017 or for FC 2018. That will depend partially on how well the first anthology at FC 2017 in January sells. You have until at least the end of 2016 to write something.
Second stories by writers in the first anthology will be accepted, but only one story per author in the second anthology.
I do believe it is. As far as I’m aware, I’m the only furry writer in my country.
Also, this was a great experience and a fun project to do! 
Welcome to the club, Neko! My country’s small, but from what I know, I’m not the only Furry writer here
Thanks!
I’m actually surprised that my country is larger. From the handful of furs we have here, I’m certain that I’m the only writer 
Slovenia is certainly larger than Singapore.
I remember the 1995 World Science Fiction Convention in Glasgow. Most of the U.S. s-f fans attending it considered Scottish food inedible. (For instance, the Glaswegan version of “French-fried potatoes” was raw potato strips swimming in vinegar.) Someone discovered a Slovenian-ethnic restaurant in Glasgow. We ate it out of food over a weekend.
