I'm going to go ahead and admit it. I'm completely new to the entire lifestyle and fandom of furries, but after looking into it I've been one since before there was a definitive term for it. I got a wolf tattooed for that reason on my right arm, so it was good to see the culture becoming more prominent. I'm only admitting it and ... I guess "coming out of the closet" because there's so much positive support, and it looks like there's a substantial amount here. So here goes nothing!
Hello everyone! I'm not sure what to put here, so I'll go with a little about myself. I recently got my first novel published (You can find it on Amazon! Just search for The Hearts of the Elements) and am currently hard at work on book two. It's going to be a twelve book series, so I have a long way to go. But I planned on writing a few short stories and things like that here in my down time. That is to say, when I'm not feeling like writing my more involved story. So we'll see how those go.
For the most part, they'll focus on Proto Triose, the wolf furry I've related to for many many years. He was one of my first characters, modeled after myself. I even put him in my book (secretly! So shhhh, don't tell anyone!) in the guise of Loose Jaw. He's a wolven that travels between the seasons chasing after the main team. Long story short, he has black fur with frosted white tips. Intelligent, always has his nose in a book or looking up new things to learn. He and I both laugh at anything, so I apologize ahead of time if we EVER say something that insults. Absolutely never mean it that way!
Just hoping to find like-minded and supportive people who are fun to talk to. Maybe make some new friends, find someone to keep me company. I look forward to talking to you all!

Hello, nice to meet you!
I hope you'll find friends and support here!

See you around!

Hey there! It is always good to run into a writer! I am so happy to hear that you have published a book! It is something I have always wanted to do but never got around to. Hopefully a little bit of your motivation rubs off on me.
In any case, welcome! I hope you stick around :)

That's fantastic! I absolutely say keep writing! It's daunting to finish your first one, but once that's done it just comes naturally. I'm already 40 pages into book two and I feel like nothing has happened. I very much encourage new authors - I think we need fresh talent in the field very desperately. More Brandon Sandersons would be phenomenal. If you have some written, I would be honored to read it and give it a perusal if you're not too embarrassed to send it to someone. I know how that can be, being afraid to put your work out there.
You only have one life. Chase your dreams! I'm also opening a tattoo parlor with my artist, going around to do author signings at book stores. Someday maybe I'll be in your area if my dream is infectious. :P Drop me a message sometime! I posted this here for anyone reading it - please don't be afraid to talk! I am an extremely chatty individual. X.x

*raises paw* I is a writer too :)
Hi there, nice to meet you ^_^ I'm, Alex
Do you mind if I ask what your book is about?
-
Absolutely! I have no problem with that at all.
The world was split into its six core elements: Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Darkness, and Light. I have an entire world based around each one, with two books per element scheduled. The furry world is going to be Fire, so you can look forward to that. But the first two that I'm writing are on Parsec One (Earth).
Earth is split into four Quadrants that are perpetually one of the seasons. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Inside each is what's called a Sector, which is a portion of each other season (i.e. in Quadrant Four: Winter, there are three Sectors of Fall, Summer, and Spring). The Sectors vary in diameter and location. Stepping across the Border puts you directly into the weather and temperature of the new Season.
The entire series is about Ames, Aria, and Jack (Who are the team considered to be Yin) Jade, Kaalin, and Kayara (Yang) and Malachi, Centaurea, and Tonya (Shadow) going around and collecting the Heart of each Element in order to determine if the world deserves a second chance.
Now, each element represents two things. Of earth and of life. Of air and of spirit. Of water and of knowledge. Of fire and of passion. Of darkness and of courage. Of light and of truth. So I have the opposing force in each world personified as the bad guy (That would be Death, Oppression, Ignorance, Apathy, Fear, and Falsity) that tries to stop them, test them, or in Apathy's case ... dine with them (because he just doesn't care) into not retrieving the element.
They learn different things about life and the way of the world as they go, to help them with the new world that they will or will not create. Not going to tell you the ending I have for that.
On Earth, there are the Guardians of the Seasons they have to contend with as well as Death. Sino Mein (Winter), Jakol Intarn (Fall), Sahn Kessle (Summer) and Pantod Eig (Spring). Then there's the Core Guardian, and solving the planet. When I say solving, every Parsec ends up being an enormous world-sized puzzle. Not telling what it is! But I think it's not something people would expect.
A lot more detail to give about every creature and race on the planet, the mounts, the random animals you meet, etc. But I DO want you to read it. Hope this intrigues and helps some people with being confused. Oh, so that people will understand my species I will explain this.
The wolven are in every Quadrant, but they vary. In Winter, you have Wher Wolven that can turn invisible because of their fur and their environment. It's not just camouflage, it's complete invisibility. In Fall, there are the Night Wolven that can vanish in a puff of smoke and reappear anywhere. Behind you, above you, to your side. Then just as quickly vanish again - but only at night. That's why they're nocturnal. In Summer there are the Core Wolven. They have scooped paws that they can use to dig under the sands of the desert and move in packs; picture an anthill on a wolf scale, with far fewer of them. In Spring, the Doma Wolven. They've adapted their defense mechanism to be the humans that live there, and so make themselves more attractive by having swathes of bright colors that they can change based on the need.
Hence the black fur (Night wolven), white patches (Wher wolven), red rune tattoos (Core wolven) and the bright patches of color that change (Doma wolven).
Anyway! Hope this helps everyone! *kisses to all*
