Non-Fiction Writing and Furry Fandom

Ever have a moment in your life that you wanted to capture but can’t find the words? Ever have an idea or process in your creativity that you wished to share?

NonFiction writing is an essential, if hidden, aspect of fostering community. Whether it is a news story viewed years later in nostalgia, or a process that can help people ways in which they can improve, the written word is a condensed artform that allows for the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next.

In this panel we will discuss techniques on putting the thoughts to paper through technical and narrative styles.

Digital queer love, as real and juicy as the analogue one! WHSPRS will be performing songs from his new album “Sad, Drunk and Needy”, including the VR-scene hit “Fox Boy”! The LP is heavily influenced by the fox' childhood in a landscape of 2000s pop, pop-punk and emo. Lyrics about almost teenage-like love struggles give insight into the VR artist’s chaotic lovelife and subsequently portraits the dating reality of a new generation of queer, tech-savy individuals who surf the wave of relationship issues on a new frontier of love: Virtual Reality.
