'''Kit Karamak''', aka '''Ken Weaver''', is a [[furry]] [[writer]] whose [[fursona]] is a [[red fox]]. He was born May 1st, 1980 and has lived in many areas, including Baltimore, Maryland; Washington, DC; Great Lakes, Illinois; Richmond, Virginia and Knoxville, Tennessee at one point or another. He writes fan fiction stories about video games, original furry and non-morphic fiction pieces. He's also an aspiring drummer. 'Kit' is short for Kitsune, however, his [[avatar]] is a normal one-[[tail]]ed fox, not a magic endowed [[kitsune]] of [[Inari]] Lore.

His instrument of choice is the drums but his MySpace page depicts him playing the bass and guitar for hobby. He's played these various instruments since about 1995. Kit attended UMBC in 2000 and has an "A+" and "Net+" certification. He is currently in a relationship according to his [[MySpace]] and [[Facebook]] profile as well as his [[LiveJournal]] account.

Ken Weaver uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.net and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.

Kit Karamak was an original character he used in some of his less-popular [[Star Fox]] stories, which can be found on the FanFiction.Net website. Kit's avatar was a story cover piece by commissioned artist MISTEROO, an [[anthropomorphic]] art student from New England. Kit's avatar is portrayed with the main [[Star Fox]] characters in that piece.

Ken Weaver's curiosity in anthropomorphic things began in 1993 when Star Fox was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Cartoons, from [[Bucky O'Hare]] to [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]], [[Garfield]] and [[Heathcliff]] piqued his interest further into all things furry. His first real connection to the furry fandom came through his writings on FanFiction when several furries took interest in his work. [[Hiromi Kitsune]] became his doorway to the furry social community and, before long, he moved from Pasadena, Maryland to Richmond, Virginia to become Hiromi's roommate from 2004 until early 2005.

Kit left Richmond in April of 2005 to marry his long-time Internet romance from Knoxville, Tennessee. According to the Tennessee website of public records, his marriage began on April 6th 2005 and lasted until September 19th of 2005. He returned to Maryland, where his family could help him financially. He found an apartment with a bandmate in Rockville, Maryland (just outside of Washington, D.C.) and lived there for one year. For part of that term, he raised his eldest son, Richard.

When autumn came, Richie went back to his mother, [[Sparks Hare]] for the school year. Kit moved back to Richmond with Hiromi Kitsune. He stayed there until January of 2007 when his job with Budget Car and Truck Rental became a franchise.

Kit went back to Pasadena, Maryland with his parents. In February 2007, he and John Settino began working on a furry rock band, currently called [[A Break In Chaos]]. However, they were the only two furry members of the group, which disbanded in mid-2009.

Kit remains a huge supporter of furry fiction writing and has attended various writing panels at conventions, like [[Anthrocon]]. His material includes both original ''and'' [[fan fiction]] work. He often applies what he's learned to the critique he offers to fellow writers.

== Fan Fiction ==
[[Image:1036300891_l.jpg|right|thumb|133px|Kit spends a lot of his time writing when he's not rocking out]]
=== Star Fox ===
Based on reader feedback and the amount of 'views' each story receives (currently over 32,000 for Reflections of the Future, alone), Kit is known better for his writing than his music. His Star Fox stories include a series of pieces, entitled ''Reflections''. These include, but are not limited to: ''Reflections of Krystal'', ''Reflections of the Future'', ''Reflections of a New Generation'', ''Reflections of Marcus McCloud'', ''Reflections of Peppy'' and ''Reflections of Fox McCloud''. The last three are still in progress. He's also written other Star Fox fan fiction stories and enjoys writing original manuscripts.

According to author's notes found in various chapters, Kit claims to be open minded and willing to take criticism about his prose.

A shareware PC video game called "Project Kursed" is in development by a group of Star Fox fans, and may draw from Kit's interpretation of [[Krystal]] and her doppelganger/alter-ego, Kursed in the story "Reflections of a New Generation."

=== Sly Cooper ===
Kit also writes fan fictions about [[Sly Cooper]], another video game featuring an anthropomorphic character. He has three novel-length fan fictions: ''The Lament of Carmelita'' (finished in 2006), ''Spy Cooper'' (currently in progress), and ''Dawn of Progeny'' (newest, started in late 2008). He has also written several short stories in the Sly Cooper fandom, usually with a holiday theme such as Valentine's Day or Christmas.

=== Others ===
He has a [[Wikipedia:Castlevania|Castlevania]] story involving a [[werewolf]], titled ''The Claws of Fate''.

Kit has three sons. Richie, his oldest, was born in December of 1999. Thomas was born in September of 2003 and his youngest, Tyler, was born in December of 2005.

== Recent Day Job Activity ==

In July of 2009, Kit was discharged of his job as the Assistant Manager of the IT department for the Computer Career Institute at Johns Hopkins University. He helped to maintain the network, repairs computers on site and train techs seeking their internship. He got hired on by Valor Security at Marley Station Mall in 2010 but quit in January 2012 in order to pursue a musical career in Florida.

== Music ==
[[Image:L_1e414b922ef73503a0704851711ce90e.jpg|left|thumb|190px|Kit plays both the drums AND guitar]]
Kit has played the drums since about 1995 and has performed in multiple local Maryland bands since around the summer of 2000, including:
* Join The Conspiracy (JTC)
* Quits for Now (QFN)
* A Blackberry Crush (BBC)
* A Bullet Away (ABA)
* Minus Q (-Q)
* The Paperback Heroes / Surrendering Dorothy (PBH)
* Tomorrow I'll Try To Yield (TITTY)
* A Break In Chaos (ABC)
* Northbound 95 (NB-95)

Kit has opted to remain in Maryland for now. However, he's also said he's willing to go wherever music and/or writing takes him. In early 2008, there was talk and/or speculation of moving to Oklahoma to join the furry group [[Sub Level 03]] and, despite his decision not to move west, remains in contact with the band. In late 2011/Early 2012, he moved to Florida to join fledgling band Get Out Driver.

Sabrina Online

'''''Sabrina Online''''' is a comic created by Eric W. Schwartz following the life of a [[skunkette]] named [[Sabrina]].

== History ==

''Sabrina Online'' is one of the best-known furry comics - as well as one of the oldest webcomics of any genre still extant - with over 500 strips produced in a period of ten years. Updates are within a few days of the beginning of each month, usually comprising four black-and-white strips. The comic has given birth to several fan projects in the '[[SabrinaVerse]]', including ''[[Sabrina Online: The Story]]'' and the [[Sabrina Online Radio Play]].

== Premise ==
{{spoiler}}
Sabrina is a computer geek who works at the [[Double Z Studios|Double Z]] [[pornography]] studio as a graphics designer. Despite her workplace, Sabrina is shy, and does not get involved in the videos outside of making the VHS and DVD covers, no matter how much her employer [[Zig Zag]] may wish otherwise. She's 22 years old, has a [[raccoon]] [[boyfriend]] ([[R.C. Raccoon]]), and conservative [[Warren & Endora|parents]], as well as a considerably younger sister named [[Tabitha]].
[[Image:SabrinaOnline334-4.png|thumb|right|Sabrina's boss Zig Zag congratulates her on a masterful piece of social engineering]]
The plot follows Sabrina through her life in general, and her trials, most of which are social in nature. Her relations with the other cast members can at times turn humorous, such as when her employer drops in to cause her own unique brand of trouble which usually involves some flirtatious efforts to get Sabrina into a more "active" lifestyle - by Zig Zag's way of thinking, anyway. Eventually, Sabrina finds a boyfriend, and one thing leads another, which leads to the bed, in an awkward yet humorous set of strips. Zig Zag finds out through observing Sabrina's behavior the next day and adds even more comical material when she practically makes a scene of her "women's intuition", much to Sabrina's embarrassment. In [http://www.sabrina-online.com/strips/SabOnline163.GIF Strip 163], it is revealed that Sabrina lives in Columbus, Ohio, and R.C. Raccoon lives in Springfield, Ohio. They discovered this after both driving an hour each to meet each other at Midwestcon in Cincinnati.

Sabrina was initially apartment roommates with [[Amy the Squirrel|Amy]]. This arrangement evolved into a family friend relationship after Amy married [[Thomas Woolfe|Thomas]] (but not before giving birth to little [[Timothy Squirrel-Woolfe|Timmy]]).

Situations in the comic do not involve on-camera violence or sex scenes, only light swearing. It does contain "tasteful" nudity (no showing genitals or nipples, they are hidden by fur) and some comical mischief. This is never more accurately depicted than in the fact that Sabrina is ''never'' seen wearing normal pants, although she does seem to wear what looks like multiple sets of "pants" that look like her naked lower half (depicted in the strips published in September of 1998). This appears to be accepted without comment by all, including Sabrina's younger sister - presumably others do the same.
