Coming soon...

My short story 'Amongst the Upright Ones' and my anthology 'Echoes' are both eligible for the 2025 Cóyotl nominations!

Thorns and Salisbury are eligible for Cóyotl awards! More information here:

For Your Consideration image for "Salisbury" showing a young lion with a side shave smiling at the viewer. The text says: "Salisbury, Ursa Major Nominee. Vote For Sal Today!"

My story Salisbury has been nominated for best furry short story at the UMAs! 🔥

This is insane and thank you all so much! Now go vote for your favorites >:D

ursamajorawards.org/voting2025/

New skill learned and I decided to apply it to Salisbury, as well as to a story I wrote that previously appeared in OHMURR! I've made hard copies to sell at Furlandia when I eventually go in May!

My fingies hurt but it is very rewarding!

Thank you! I'm considering getting some cute washi tape or something decorative to go over the spines to add some structural integrity, but on the other hand, the exposed thread is a mood, haha

New Adoptable up;

FWG Newsletter March 2026 Spring has sprung – or autumn has fallen, if you’re in the southern hemisphere! – and I at least am definitely feeling that fresh burst of energy. Whether you’re enjoying the longer days, rainy aft…

Our March newsletter is here! ✨

At the same time, we'd also like to draw attention to the reading list for the 2025 Cóyotl Awards, as nominations are opening up for public vote on the 15th of March!

Have an amazing month! 💜

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD.

You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it.

I've made my calls today. You need to.

In case you missed it! Also, everyone can vote in the Ursa Major Awards.

Good picks!

My favorite? Probably As You Like It. Adorable play, delightfully queer, cool protagonist and has some good banger speeches and lines in there.

But, man, Hamlet's, like, good... honestly hard to argue with Hamlet.

2 is my pick, that thing is real juicy and just works for me

The Voice of Dog Furry stories to warm the ol' cockles, read by Rob MacWolf and guests.

Its also available on the VoD website. It got posted the week after part 1. Here's the link:

thevoice.dog?episode=18-s...

A little over halfway to my goal now! If you'd like to lend me a hand, come get a pin-up, something NSFW, an illustration, underwear, whatever! This is (hopefully) the last major thing I'll need to pay for until the end of the year, so my openings will be slowing WAY down after this.

I'm a little bit furious how instantly and completely my writer's block has vanished now that I finally got that bad molar extracted and am no longer dealing with a two-month long toothache.

Universal single-payer healthcare now.

We've already got a bunch of applications for our #IndieApril spotlight but there's still room for a few more! Applications close on Monday, so get yours in now!

Moksha An e-zine for speculative fiction starring animals

Calling all scifi and fantasy writers!

Help us fill our dazzling menagerie of animal-centric stories. We're open until March 15th.

YO COOL

It's a morning thought over coffee, but it would be really cool to do a furry reader survey to get some insights into reading habits, success, but also barriers to reading in the fandom. I'd love to have some information about what's going on, rather than just making guesses.

I'm thrilled to announce that Gravitational Pull was nominated for an Ursa Major Award! I'm so touched and grateful for the support the book has gotten—it means the world to me.

If you haven't yet, you can pick up a copy from @bewerebooks.bsky.social! bewere.net/product.php?...

Really close to a big milestone for me. If you have been considering picking up my book, now is a great time to do so. As always, thank you to everyone who has supported me on this crazy adventure.

Weird niches like furry are important because they provide this awesome, creative community alternative to the soulless, corporate mainstream. Because when everything is owned by 1-2 companies and stops even pretending to have a soul, the only answer is to abandon it and go hang with the weirdos :P

A collage of examples of my art, including my two previous pole-themed YCH designs, the cover for the book Thorns by Roscoe G. Beetle, fanart of the characters from Far Flung by Utunu, fanart of the characters from A Portrait for Tomorrow by Raynarde, fanart of the characters from DRONE by Bill Siracusa, and two of my previous undie commissions.

💖 GENERAL COMM OPENING! 💖
In addition to my YCHs, I'm going to open some general slots so I don't go to prison for dodging my taxes! :D

All comms start at $150.00 USD for a fully-shaded piece of a single character.
