Laurence "GreenReaper" Parry (born 1982) is the founder of WikiFur, editor-in-chief of Flayrah, and an amateur photographer.

[edit] Fan activities

GreenReaper spends much time researching and writing news and articles on furry fandom. He leads furry encyclopedia WikiFur, which he founded in July 2005, and online furry news magazine Flayrah, which he took over in January 2010.[1]

GreenReaper edits furry articles at Wikipedia and Wikinews,[2][3][4] and runs the Open Directory's furry categories.[5] He takes convention photographs[6] – releasing them as free content[7] – and is a moderator for Inkbunny, a furry art community.[8] He maintains the Yerf Historical Archive,[9] and advises the Anthropomorphic Research Project.[10]

[edit] Conventions

GreenReaper has attended Midwest FurFest 2005/06/07/08/09/10/11, Anthrocon 2006/07/08/09/10/11, Further Confusion 2007/11/12, Furry Connection North 2008/09/10/11, Furry Weekend Atlanta 2008/09/10/11, Rainfurrest 2009, IndyFurCon 2010/11 and Furry Fiesta 2012. He worked in Con Ops at Anthrocon 2007–9 and at FCN 2009, but no longer staffs conventions due to conflicts of time and interest.

[edit] Roleplaying

GreenReaper participates in furry multiplayer worlds,[11] including FurryMUCK, Tapestries and SpinDizzy. He typically plays a Kai norn, from the Creatures artificial life games.[6]

[edit] Personal life

Outside of the fandom, GreenReaper is the majority contributor to Creatures Wiki,[12] a computer skinner and an all-around geek. He graduated from the University of Bath in 2004 with student awards for being "Most Geeky", "Worst Dressed" and "Most likely to become a serial killer", and a first in Computer Science.[13][14]

GreenReaper is British, but moved to the USA in July 2005 to work as a developer for Stardock in Plymouth, Michigan. In August 2011 he began working for GameStop in Irving, Texas after their acquisition of Impulse.
