'''Foxtail Comics''' is an erotic adult comedy [[webcomic]] that was located at [[Fox Saliant Studios]] website. Drawn by [[J.M. Havens]], also known as '''Grayscale Rain''' (as well as a number of other online aliases), it is just one of many projects in the works for the main site, but was since decided to be the one project to focus work on and display first, since it would draw in the largest number of viewers.

==The current plotline==

The current plotline, "'''Scene 1'''", is purely an introduction to the world of '''Plani Roxas''', and more specifically, to the Fox Saliant Studios staff, with a few giggles along the way. The chapter numbering and naming scheme corresponds to the way in which a movie would be shot.

'''Josephine Lee Harris''', a top-heavy hyper vixen, was the first character to be introduced in the storyline, and was the major focus on the opening of the comic. The next characters to be unveiled wouldn't appear until "'''Act 2'''", and they currently include '''Karen and Anthonius''', who are both [[Fox|foxes]], and a secretary and a security officer, respectively. They are shown to have a pre-existing relationship, though how far this relationship extends has yet to be revealed.

The comic is currently defunct, but expected to resurface on the new [[Fox Saliant Studios]] site at some point in the future.

===Josephine Lee Harris===

<div style="width: 150%;"><div style="background: #FFD099; padding: 2px; margin: 2px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; float: left;">[[Image:Fss-char-josephine.png]]</div>

<div style="background: #FFD099; padding: 2px; margin: 2px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; float: left; min-height: 125px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 55%;">The first character to have been revealed as being in the comic is the extremely tall, top-heavy, red-headed [[vixen]], '''Josephine'''. Josephine is what you would call a cross between a fox and a [[human]], rather than a full blooded fox, and she has the sole distinction of having her introduction also serve as the introduction to the comic, itself, lending to the notion that she is a/the main character.

An actress at an adult film studio, called '''Fox Saliant Studios''', she uses the money made there to pay back the debt she acquired upon purchasing a powerful motorcycle, her primary mode of transportation, at auction.</div></div></div></div>

<div style="min-height: 220px;">
<div style="margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 50px; background: #FFD099; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; height: 100px; clear: both;">

===Karen===

<div style="width: 150%;"><div style="background: #FFD099; padding: 2px; margin: 2px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; float: left;">[[Image:Fss-char-karen.png]]</div>

Her frame is much less pronounced than the other employees, and she generally wears her hair back in a tail. Her most pronounced feature is the legion of four tails she commands behind her. While not the only one with such a feature, and definitely not the most impressive, this sets her aside from most of the studio. As a whole, Karen is generally very reserved, and fears above all else that Kira might find out that she does, indeed, get randy from time to time.

<div style="margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 50px; background: #FFD099; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; height: 100px; clear: both;">

===Anthonius===

<div style="width: 150%;"><div style="background: #FFD099; padding: 2px; margin: 2px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; float: left;">[[Image:Fss-char-anthonius.png]]</div>

As a security officer, it's not in the job description, but he likes to at least look at whatever he can, whenever he can. He's a fairly small person in general build, but to underestimate his ability to take down someone five times his size would be a grave mistake. Of course, he seems to think mostly with the brain in his pants, so anyone capable of arousing his "interest" will likely bring him to his knees, unless another, stronger emotion is driving him.</div></div></div></div>

<div style="min-height: 220px;">
<div style="margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 50px; background: #FFD099; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; height: 100px; clear: both;">

===Kira Michaels===

<div style="width: 150%;"><div style="background: #FFD099; padding: 2px; margin: 2px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; float: left;">[[Image:Fss-char-kira.png]]</div>

Though her responsibilities are vast, and her demeanor is generally that of a businesswoman, she does delve into more immature endeavors, such as teasing and even sometimes (rarely) becoming sexually active with her staff. As the second character with multiple tails (seven), she is also defined by them, along with her eccentric personality.</div></div></div></div>

<div style="min-height: 220px;">
<div style="margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 50px; background: #FFD099; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; height: 100px; clear: both;">

===Vel===

<div style="width: 150%;"><div style="background: #FFD099; padding: 2px; margin: 2px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; float: left;">[[Image:Fss-char-vel.png]]</div>

<div style="background: #FFD099; padding: 2px; margin: 2px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; float: left; min-height: 125px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 55%;">'''Vel''' is a white velociraptor with green spots along the back of her arms, tail, and back. She owns the largest amount of the studio, though she decided to take part in the fun, rather than sitting behind a desk and doing administrative work like Kira does. Her general demeanor is matriarchal in nature, and she is always there to lend an ear - or something else - to her employees if they have a problem. Of course, she does like to have a little fun every now and then, and can be devious in her activities, including, but not limited to, grabbing staff from the hallways to have her way with them.</div></div></div></div>

<div style="min-height: 220px;">
<div style="margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 50px; background: #FFD099; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; height: 100px; clear: both;">

===Antufox===

<div style="width: 150%;"><div style="background: #FFD099; padding: 2px; margin: 2px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; float: left;">[[Image:Fss-char-cameo-antufox.png]]</div>

<div style="background: #FFD099; padding: 2px; margin: 2px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; float: left; min-height: 125px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 55%;">This little foxling is a recurring gag cameo along with his little buddy/mate, Yukifox. The '''Antufox'''' most prominent feature is grump, which he displays most prominently in most every scene he can be found in. Antufox is originally from a prior work, called '''No Pressure''', and was derived from many late-night roleplays by the author and the current host of the Foxsaliant Forums, Runefox. Borrowing heavily from Runefox' real life interests, the Antufox is a technical genius when it comes to computers and other technologies. Antufoxes are also considered their own race. The design is based upon Anthonius.</div></div></div></div>

<div style="min-height: 220px;">
<div style="margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 50px; background: #FFD099; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; height: 100px; clear: both;">

===Yukifox===

<div style="width: 150%;"><div style="background: #FFD099; padding: 2px; margin: 2px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; float: left;">[[Image:Fss-char-cameo-yukifox.png]]</div>

<div style="background: #FFD099; padding: 2px; margin: 2px; border: 1px solid #FF9519; float: left; min-height: 125px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 55%;">Rival and mate to the Antufox, the '''Yukifox''', another recurring cameo, personifies the author's interests in artistic pursuits and love of music. The Yukifox was, like the Antufox, originally from a prior work called '''No Pressure''', and also derived from many late-night RP sessions. The Yukifox' most prominent feature is its inherent curiousity, cheerfulness, and hyperactivity. The design is based on another character of the author's, Yukiko Matsumori, and contains a blend between Yuki and the author's likeness. Yukifoxes are, like Antufoxes, considered their own race.</div></div></div></div>

</div>

==Strip style==

The comic's art style itself is an experiment in line work by the artist, the original purpose having been practice and improvement of his artistic abilities. The colors for the first strips were done by [[Kevin Hogan]], also known as '''CaelumDico''' (among other aliases) who is one of (technically the main) co-authors of the comic and the proprietor of [[Fox Saliant Studios]] itself. Since the second "act", '''Norithics''' has been providing the color for the comic pages, as well as a few by '''Runefox''' and '''CaelumDico''' as well as a couple by '''Grayscale Rain''' himself.

'''e621''' is a [[adult|mature]] [[image board]] replacement for the image board [[Sidechan]]. A [[W:general audience|general audience]] image board, '''e926''' (formerly e961) complements this site. E621 runs off of the [[Ouroboros]] platform, a [[W:Imageboard#Danbooru-style_boards|danbooru]] styled software specifically designed for the site.

== History ==

* September 17, 2007 - The site was closed down, citing on its front-page that claims had been made against the site for hosting [[Wikipedia:child pornography|child pornography]] and only the [[Oekaki]] board and the [[IRC]] channel remained active<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070917160028/http://e621.net/ e621 offline notice] - Archived by Wayback Machine, Sep 17, 2007.</ref>.
* November 26, 2007 - e621 became active again, under the banner e621 2.0. It was forced offline for a few days over Christmas 2007 during the same [[Wikipedia:Distributed Denial of Service|DDoS]] attack that struck [[Fur Affinity]] and [[Fchan]].
* August 30, 2010 - The website's main page was replaced with a small note saying that e621 would be permanently shut down due to "numerous threats to our host, false claims of illegal content, harassment and a few things that are much worse."<ref>''[http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd366/HDSham/Screenshot2010-08-30at105324PM.png Takedown Request.]'' - [[Arcturus]], e621.net</ref> This time, only the IRC channel remained active.<ref>''[http://www.e621.net e621 is over. sorry.]'' - [[Arcturus]], e621.net</ref>
* August 31, 2010 - It was announced that the site will simply be resuming with a new admin, Varka, after a short downtime.{{fact}} Announced changes to the site include an updated takedown policy to amend some of the issues leading to the threats issued in previous days.{{fact}}
* September 1, 2010 - A website by the same name has appeared in the guise of Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5, as confusing as this is, both are different only due to the WWW prefix. That, or the old one was absolved by Adobe, while the new one is using the WWW prefix. Anonymous of Jacksonville says e621 simply has a messed up DNS record for the base domain, but the WWW subdomain is still correctly configured. Either the record's TTL hasn't yet expired (in the case of hacking or hostile takeover, this is a good thing) or someone somewhere has made a silly mistake. (When the site is typed in with, and without WWW it goes to Varka's page, the site itself depending how you reach it will send you to either by a 50/50 chance, it's easier to just put in WWW with it.)
*September 8, 2010 - The website was passed from Arcturus to Varka. Varka has implemented a newer, more artist-friendly takedown policy. There will also be more artist involvement that includes obtaining prints from Inkbunny and going to the artist's chosen website for commissions.<ref>[http://www.e621.net/forum/show/8456 ''ANNOUNCEMENT: e621 changeover, new policy, next steps''] post on e621. Retrieved ?.</ref>
* August 2010 - The website ended its operations briefly due to [[David Ross]] ('''Insane Kangaroo'''), lodging accusations of child pornography and copyright infringement with the principle hosting company. The site was formally shut down when he threatened [[Arcturus]] with deportation. The site returned to normal operation under a new owner on September 8, 2010.
* January 18, 2012 - e621 joined many other sites in protesting the [[W:PROTECT IP Act|PROTECT IP Act]] (PIPA) and [[W:SOPA|Stop Online Piracy Act]] (SOPA), by taking down its page and replacing it with the page that stated for others to write to their congressmen, being entirely generated by user content, e621 was a high risk target under the SOPA legislation, and took the site down with others for the protest.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20120118152135/http://e621.net/ "What? Why can't I use e621?"] - Retrieved via the [http://web.archive.org/ Internet Wayback Machine], January 18, 2012.</ref>
* February 2014 - The site hosts over four hundred thousand active posts ranging from non-[[sexual]] images to extreme [[paraphilia|fetishes]],{{fact}} with more than sixty-thousand users.{{fact}}

== Policies and content ==

e621 makes use of a [[DNP]] list, and takedown requests are honored when following the guidelines of the Takedown page (http://e621.net/static/takedown). Images that are removed are also blacklisted to prevent posting.

Registration requests for inclusion on the site by artists and users might or might not be moderated by e621's staff, depending on the amount of spammers or trolls they are being hit with.

Uploading of photographic child pornography or bestiality media is not permitted, and uploading of images from pay-sites is discouraged, with the exception of a few images (usually for publicity purposes).

Additionally, any post could be deleted without notice if they fail to meet a standard of quality as determined by the moderators (poorly drawn or badly compressed art), though this is uncommon.

== Mascot ==
[[File:Small_Esix_Keishinkae.png|175px|thumb|Esix, one of final designs for the site's mascot. Esix was in the top spot in the site redesign planned for 2010.]]
e621's [[mascot]] is a [[cat]] [[character]] by the name of '''Hexerade''.{{fact}}

=== Controversy ===

Early in 2010, the owners of e621 were looking for a mascot to adorn the site. After asking the site's users to come up with their own ideas, a poll was opened to decide on which character should be selected. However, a few weeks afterwards the poll was closed prematurely as it came to light that one of the contestants had been rigging the contest by signing up many alts through proxies to vote his mascot up.{{fact}}

In response to this, the administrators announced that they would select a mascot among themselves. After deliberation, they selected a five character mascot team from the leaders of the poll, featuring characters by [[Mellis]], [[Chizi]], [[Keishinkae]], [[Darkdoomer]] and [[Manafox]].{{fact}}

== e961/e926 ==

In July 2009, a work-safe counterpart, e961, was brought online. Unfortunately, in November 2009 it was aliased to the original site due to traffic issues caused by the popularity of e621.<ref>''[http://e621.net/forum/show/565 At work? Nosy family? No problems!]'' - [[Arcturus]], e621 forum</ref> However, users who want to view only safe for work content can use the "rating:safe" tag to exclude all mature content from e621, except banner adverts which will still include adult content. Images can also be filtered by placing ratings (i.e., rating:explicit) on the tag blacklist.

In November 2012, e961 was rebuilt as ''e926'', a joke for it being a 'bleached' version of the site, was reinstated along with updates to the main site. It displays content from e621 that strictly has a safe rating. The site's login system shares e621's login database, but requires separate login, as it most likely has its own cookies. Notably, it also has its own "safe for work" advertising.
