Heat (magazine)

Heat #4

Heat is a periodic publication in magazine form by Sofawolf Press dedicated to high-quality erotic furry fiction. Art is secondary to the fiction, often serving only as illustrations, though comics also feature. The first issue was published in 2004.^[1] Typically Heat is published once a year; the seventh volume was released at Anthrocon 2010.^[2]

Heat was recognized as Best Anthropomorphic Magazine in the 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 Ursa Major Awards. It also contained that year's short fiction winner, Don't Blink by Kyell Gold.
