[edit] Origins
TigerTails Entertainment started out in April 2002 as a website for TK Tiger to upload stories and other writings after positive reaction to his tales posted to the The Lion King mailing List (TLK-L). The site was named The Tiger's Tale, as the site contained tales written by a tiger. This name was to remain until July 2004 when TK teamed up with Blaster Hedgie to create TigerTails Radio. As the website now contained more than just writing, TK decided a re-brand was in order, and TigerTails Entertainment was born. The website remained primarily as a writing site until 2008, when TK pulled his older works from the Internet and turned the TigerTails Entertainment website in to a portal for sites under the TigerTails name. In 2010, the site was updated to reflect the addition of "staff" and their contributions.

TigerTails Entertainment is broken in to a collection of smaller brands:

[edit] TigerTails TV
In 2006, TK gained access to video editing software and began posting videos to YouTube. These videos cover many topics, from experiments with diet cola and mints, to videos of reactions to popular Internet gross out videos. Videos for events covered for TigerTails Radio are also created by TigerTails TV but are separated in to a dedicated TigerTails Radio playlist.
[edit] TigerTails Library
The library was introduced in the 2010 update as a replacement for the old TigerTails Entertainment site as the writings were removed in 2008. Powered by Posterous, the library contains writings by the three main cast members of TigerTails Radio, including information on the Sunday Night Role Playing Games that take part in the TigerTails Studio buildings before each episode of TigerTails Radio. The radio cast also take part in a group writing challenge, the results of which are also available to read.
[edit] TigerTails Gallery
This section of the site is still in early development, but is powered by Picasa and contains many photos taken by TK.
[edit] Thomas King
The TK in name TK Tiger had to stand for something, and once TK had stopped doing tae kwondo, he decided to change from being Tae Kwondo Tiger, and adopt the name of Thomas King. This name would be the pen-name he'd put to all his writing and it became his "real life" persona. This confused listeners of TigerTails Radio, for the website would refer to TK as TK Tiger, while everything on the site was written by Thomas King, leading them to assume that they were two separate people instead of "fursona" and "persona". This amused the cast of TigerTails Radio, so TK decided to continue running with the idea of keeping the character of TK away from the character of Thomas King. The 2010 update to the TigerTails Entertainment website lists TK and Thomas King as two people, one being the head of the group, and the other being the anonymous website administrator and blog writer.
Should TK ever write anything that gets published, however, it will be published with Thomas King as the author.
