[[Image:Anthro_vixen.jpg|thumb|right|An [[anthropomorphic]] vixen]]
'''Furry fandom''', also known as '''furrydom''', '''furridom''', '''fur fandom''' or '''furdom''', refers to the ''[http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fandom fandom]'' for the ''[http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/guides/guide-display/-/1EKGG0RXMUDYH/104-6800273-7092718 furry genre]'' of literature, art and entertainment. Furry fandom is also used to refer to the community of [[artist]]s, [[writer]]s, [[role play]]ers and general fans of the furry art forms who gather on the net and at [[convention]]s.

Members of the furry fandom, known as ''[[furry fan]]s'', ''furries'', or ''furs'', particularly enjoy media that includes fictional [[anthropomorphic]] [[animal]] characters with [[human]] personalities and characteristics. Examples of anthropomorphic attributes include exhibiting human intelligence and facial expressions, the ability to speak, walking on two legs, and wearing clothing.

Characters that [[morph]] between human and animal form are also considered by some to be part of the genre. Even certain superheroes with animal derived powers are considered of furry interest by some fans. The general idea being a combination of human and animal attributes, for which there is no documented science regarding what degrees of mixture are required. Even characters like [[Wikipedia:Josie And The Pussycats|Josie And The Pussycats]] are considered of interest to furry fandom, though they only wear costumes with animal ears and [[tail]]s.<ref>[http://www.xydexx.com/anthrofurry/furries.htm Invasion of the Furries] - Description of furry fandom with Josie And The Pussy Cats reference.</ref>
==The furry genre==
===Definition===
The furry genre (sometimes referred to as a meta-genre) is based on the ''idea'' of [[fantasy]] animal characters, rather than any one type of fiction. Any title in any form of media can be considered relative to the furry genre simply by having a fantasy animal character in it. Such characters are most often seen in cartoons, [[comic]]s, [[science fiction]], allegorical novels, Gothic [[horror]] movies, commercials and [[video game]]s.

Outside the fandom, the most common term used to describe such characters is ''anthropomorphic'' (a word derived from the Greek; ''Anthropos Morphe'', literally meaning ''Human Form''). Those within the fandom prefer the term ''furry'' - hence the name ''furry fandom''. Other terms for these types of characters are ''[[funny animal]]'', ''[[talking animal]]'', or ''[[kemono]]'' in Japan, although each of these has subtle differences in meaning.

===History of the Furry Fandom===
:''See main article: [[History]]''

In the earlier days of the Furry Fandom, fans used to gather mostly at [[science fiction]], [[fantasy]], and comic conventions before the [[furry parties]] broke out into full-fledged [[furry]] conventions. The fandom for furry characters traces its organization back to a science fiction convention in 1980,<ref>''[http://yarf.furry.com/chronology.html Yarf Chronology Of Furry Fandom]''</ref> when a drawing of a character from [[Steve Gallacci]]’s Albedo started a discussion of anthropomorphic characters in science fiction novels, spawning a discussion group that met at various science fiction and comics conventions.

As the Internet became more accessible, it became the most popular means for furry fans to keep in touch and share their artistic efforts. This gained the fandom higher visibility and it began to grow rapidly.

Virtual environments, such as [[MUD|MUCK]]s, soon became the most popular places on the net for furry fans to meet and communicate. One of the oldest and largest MUCKs in existence is [[FurryMUCK]]. One of the newest virtual environments to attract furry fans is [[Second Life]].

Near the beginning of the 80’s, the furry genre enjoyed the first explosion of popularity it had seen since the 1930’s. Furry characters littered the animation world as well as toy stores. But there was also adult furry entertainment.

Today, those furry fans who have discovered the large concentration of fellow fans on the net have joined with them to create the virtual society that is the collective furry community. Other furry fans, particularly the computer illiterate, remain isolated in their interest with little to no awareness that there is an organized community for fans of the furry genre.

==The Furry community==
[[Image:GR_FC2007_fursuit_post-parade_photoshoot.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[Fursuiter]]s at [[Further Confusion 2007]] [[fursuit parade]]]]
The furry community, referred to by many as furry fandom, or just the fandom, is the virtual universe inhabited by all those who refer to themselves as "Furries."

It is a separate entity from what many fans of furry entertainment mean when they use the term furry fandom. To a traditional furry fan, furry fandom means fans of furry characters, period. But the community encompasses a great deal more than just the fandom for furry characters. It includes elements of religion, lifestyle and philosophy.

"Furriness" is the action of doing anything related to the furry character of a person.

===Furry lifestyle===
: ''See article: [[Furry lifestyle]]''
The most commonly stated interest cited among members of the community, other than an enjoyment of furry entertainment, is a sense some may have of personally identifying with a certain kind of animal.

This is a relatively common aspect of human nature. Many people may feel an affinity for a certain type of animal. Marketers of collectibles have been creating products for people with such feelings for generations. Though it has rarely been something one had an open atmosphere in which to explore and get more deeply in touch with. The furry community, through its many virtual role play environments, provides this avenue for exploration into why certain people feel their particular affinity.

Some may view animals with a kind of religious reverence reminiscent of [[Buddhism]], [[Shamanism]] or [[Otherkin]]. They may feel that they are the reincarnation of an animal, or that an animal spirit watches over them.

===Creativity===
[[Image:DealersDenAC2006.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[Dealers den]] at [[Anthrocon 2006]]]]
Because the furry genre is widely considered to be a children’s market, there is a considerable lack of furry entertainment specifically geared to adult aged audiences. The community of mostly adult aged furry fans that has formed around the genre is particularly dedicated to filling the need for such products through fan creativity.

Content available from furry fans on the internet and at conventions covers a wide range of interests, including all manner of fantasy, philosophy, sex, politics, religion and lifestyle.

The genre is considered to be so versatile that it can extend into just about any form of creativity, from things as simple as recipe books with anthropomorphic illustrations <ref>[http://www.ozfoxes.com/cat3.htm Sweet Treats] - an example of a furry cookbook.</ref> to technical creations as complicated as interactive furry companions for your desktop.<ref>[http://www.foxee.net/ Foxee] - example of an interactive character.</ref> Other forms of furry craftsmanship include the creation of ''flash animation'' <ref>[http://www.illwillpress.com/ Foamy The Squirrel] - example of a flash animation character.</ref> and [[fursuits]].

But by far the most prolific output of furry fandom is artwork. Furry artwork produced by the fandom ranges from basic cartooning to highly detailed works fit for hanging in galleries. Furry artists also create a wide variety of comic strips. The subject matter of this artwork being as flexible as any other area of the furry arts, ranging from innocent depictions of cute furry character suitable for all ages, to mature works that are age restricted. There is also some writing in the furry fandom.

===Sociability===
Others may join the furry community simply because it is a free environment where one can form friendships without the normal social problems of having to hide one’s [[sexual orientation]]. It is also a place where some may come to find compassionate understanding and assistance with personal problems. The furry community prides itself on a concept of open mindedness and tolerance.

===Fetishes===
: ''See article: [[Fetish]]''
The furry community also attracts furry related fetishists who warm to the non-condemning atmosphere and the ability to express fantasies of a sexual nature that would rarely be tolerated anywhere else.

Surveys place the number of extreme fetishists in the community at a comparatively low percentage, though the few there are tend to be extremely visible on the net.

===Creativity beyond the furry genre===
Some creative members of the community create works that are not furry of nature. [[2, The Ranting Gryphon]] creates rants on real world politics and the state of human society. [[Joe Strike]] has written film reviews for the ''New York Daily News''. [[Steven F. Scharff]] maintains a database on new country projects, "micronations" and independence and sedition movements. [[Tom Howling]] writes full-time about technology and science. A number of furry musical groups produce music without furry subject matter. Some furry online radio stations play popular music that rarely has furry subject matter. And some amateur film makers in the fandom create films that have no visible furry themes.

This sometimes brings the community unexpected positive attention, though it further confuses people as to just what the furry fandom is supposed to be about.

==Furry controversies==
===Defining the genre===
: ''See article: [[What is Furry?]]''
Historically, very little has been written about the concept of furry as a genre of entertainment. And the community itself sometimes has difficulty getting a grip on what the main object of the fandom is supposed to be. Consequently, some prominent members of the community may express ideas of limitation based on their personal taste in anthropomorphics. Others may feel that their taste in anthropomorphics are excluded by such limitations.

There are no written rules as to what types or levels of human and animal attributes are necessary for inclusion in the genre. The only noticeable defining factor seems to be that there be some kind of combination of the two. Thus, it is best to approach the genre with the broadest possible view, rather than being influenced by individuals expressing dissatisfaction with areas of the furry arts they personally don’t like.

* [http://web.archive.org/web/20070301150410/http://www.geocities.com/thehalflifecoder/Rants/Furry.html Furry FAQ: State of the Fandom]

===Misinformation===
Many people misunderstand the fandom due to a lack of non-prejudicial information being available. In many cases, the first things outsiders see of the fandom is sensationalistic [[List of media links|fiction on TV shows]]. Others may take note of the adult themed art on the net and assume this is the whole point of the fandom.

===Sexuality===
The free atmosphere of acceptance in the furry community makes it far more likely for members to be open about their sexual preferences.<ref name="rust">[http://www.visi.com/~phantos/furrysoc.html The Sociology of Furry Fandom]. Retrieved October 19, 2006.</ref> As such, most [[non-furries]] believe that nearly all furry fans are [[gay]].<ref name="rust"/> Recent surveys suggest that the percentage of homosexuals and bisexuals in the fandom [[sexual preference|may be higher than in the general population]]. Furries have proposed various theories for this.

Confessions of more unusual sexuality and lifestyle have also been noted in the furry community, and though the majority of furry fans will attempt to be tolerant, certain sexual practices will stretch the tolerance of certain furry fans to the breaking point.

In particular, discussion of [[bestiality]] is a trigger for angry debate within the community. Many insist that absolute tolerance must be absolute, while others resent the association of the fandom with a practice that is not only illegal in many places, but is considered by many to be a form of animal abuse. Because of these two hallmarks of the current fandom — tolerance and the protection of real life animals — acceptance of bestialitists is a hotly contested topic of the furry community.

Another practice that sparks controversy from within the fandom itself is [[plushophilia]]. Though plushophilia is physically harmless, being confronted with it causes extreme reactions on both sides of the issue within the fandom — from total acceptance to outright disgust.

====Erotic furry art====
: ''See article: [[Furotica]]''
If one looks on games like ''[[Star Fox]]'' and movies like ''[[Over The Hedge]]'' as the main furry genre, and the erotic art coming out of the community as a parody of the main genre, a direct parallel to [[Wikipedia:anime|anime]] and [[Wikipedia:hentai|hentai]] can be seen as well as a parallel with the general fantasy genre and erotic fantasy art. Types of hentai might straddle both furry and non-furry genre. The major difference is that the output of furry titles by major companies is relatively small when compared to the output of other genres.

Thus it is easy to mistake the mature art aspect of furry fandom for being more prominent than in other fandoms. When, in reality, the amount of erotic content coming out of the furry community pales in comparison to the anime/manga erotic output, which is much better organized and even supported by the main industry.

Anime fans enjoy the availability of endless hours of erotic animation created by professional companies, and even the erotic manga comics created by anime fans display a level of professionalism that furry artists can not even begin to aspire to. Yet, this tends to not be a problem for anime fandom, as the high output of non-erotic anime keeps the erotic subgenre in perspective as parody. While with furry fandom, it is highly likely that the first output of the fandom an outsider will see will be something of an erotic nature or sexual humor art.<ref>[http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=furries&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2 A Google Images search for "furries" generates] [[furotica]] as its initial results.</ref>

===Fringe segments of the community===
Just about anyone with any kind of interest that can somehow be tied to furry can set up a new neighborhood in the furry community for that interest. For some reason, the furries who create these neighborhoods have a tendency to give them names that sound worse than the actual intent, and thus may generate prejudice or attract the wrong kind of attention.

* [[Babyfurs]] are interested in furry child characters.
* [[Nazi Furs]] are interested in furry World War 2 characters.
* [[Postfurry]]

===Furry hate groups===
: ''See article: [[Anti-furries]]''
Furry hate groups have been created that ridicule the fandom at every opportunity and continue the spread of various types of misinformation, largely based on overplaying activities that exist in the fringe areas of the community and have no direct relationship to the fandom.

It is the general assertion of fans that these hate groups are mistaken in their assumption that furry fandom is all about sexualizing animal characters and animal related fetishes. It has also been confessed by certain furry haters that they attack furry fandom, not out of any belief that the furry fandom is any worse than other fandoms in these respects, but rather because it is much easier to get an entertaining reaction out of furries than it is to get a reaction out of [[Wikipedia:Star Trek fandom|Trekkies]] or [[Wikipedia:Otaku|Otaku]].

Thus, the anti-furry movement exists largely for entertainment value and should be taken with a grain of salt. Furries may even be seen to play along with furry hate groups, as some furries insist that it is important to maintain a sense of humor about such things. Indeed, there is hardly a fandom in existence that does not parody and laugh at its own idiosyncrasies and stereotypes.

===Self criticism===
The furry community also is sometimes criticized by its own for being too tolerant of various things, especially the over visibility of controversial fetishes.

Particularly for those who are only in the community because of an interest in furry cartoons, it may be found painful that the community feels free to associate them with things that seem completely unrelated to a fandom for furry characters.

Other furries will then turn on those who claim not to want to be associated with every controversial element in the community and accuse them of being a detriment to the stability of the community, often accompanied with accusations of Nazi behavior or being a [[Burned Fur]].

Over the years many furries have [[Leave The Fandom|left the fandom]] in a state of grief over such controversies and disputes.

===Unsympathetic media===
: ''See article: [[Timeline of media coverage]]''
[[Image:KageTalksToReportersAC2006.jpg|thumb|right|[[Uncle Kage]] talks to [[Wikipedia:KDKA-TV|KDKA-TV]] reporters]]
In years past, the only value the mainstream media has seen in furry fandom has been over emphasis on the fetishists and lifestylers within the community. Many of those who were interviewed for such media portrayals claim they were deliberately misquoted. As a result, misunderstanding of the nature of the fandom has been widespread. However, this appears to be changing, as less sensational media sources are starting to take note of the community, which are more inclined to see interest in the fandom aspect. <ref>[http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/9383594/detail.html Furries Descend On Golden Triangle] - example of more favorable press coverage.</ref>

===Furry politics===
As with any type of community, even a virtual one, political issues will arise and certain people will champion them, attempting to attain a measure of power and control over the rest of the community. However, the community is seldom able to be united on any single issue. And most attempts to force change fall flat.

Political topics in the community can revolve around pushing tolerance for controversial segments of the community, people trying to put limits on the genre celebrated by the fandom, and those who wish to completely separate the furry community from any relationship with the mainstream entertainment industry.

A typical example of furry politics is the attempt to draw a distinction between a "furry comic" created by self professed members of the fandom, and a traditional "funny animal comic," created by someone who has not acknowledged a connection to the fandom. This type of political ploy may cause a lot of heated debate, but in the end there is no artistic difference between the two, and furry fans rarely stop to ask an artist’s affiliations before enjoying his work.

Dual Blade Universe

2009-08-05T23:10:13Z

Exlex: Undo revision 264884 by OIFY (talk)

[[Category:Story worlds]]
<div style="float:right">__TOC__</div>
The '''Dual Blade universe''' is a story universe created by the furry author [[Nadan]]. The first version of the Dual Blade (DB) universe appeared in early 2000. In 2005 Nadan undertook a project to further define the DB universe. The home of the DB universe was found at Nadan's website, which has now been taken offline.

The stories of the DB universe take place in a dimension parallel to ours, on a planet physically identical to ours, by the name of Terra. Although there are more than a dozen sentient [[anthropomorphic]] species on Terra, there were originally no humans on that world. As described in the DB story entitled "On the Flip Side", an accident lead a relatively small population of humans to appear on Terra, transferred from Earth. Several major political and military powers across Terra, who vie for power. Each of the sentient species on Terra (of which there are at least 20) has its own well defined physiology, history, culture, and -- in many cases -- language and religion.

==Planet of Terra==

Terra is a version of Earth which exists in a dimension parallel to Earth. Because of that, the physical locations and geography of our world is mirrored in Terra. Unlike Earth, there are not many populous cities on Terra. Most of its residents do not prefer large cities. The larger cities are populated by Humans, Nonili (lion-morphs), the Covey (see below), and the Lupine Alliance (see below).

==Races of Terra==

The native races of Terra are diverse in biology and psychology. The anthro- races that populate the Dual Blade Universe are not simply "humans in fur coats." Considerable thought was given to the biology of the base animal as well as how, and which ones of, those traits would appear in an anthro- version. The world features morphs of the following species: raccoon, skunks, wolves, crows/ravens, jays, rabbits, lions, tigers, domestic cats, bears, hogs, cervids, antelope, and more. Each race has its own history of interaction with the other species in their area. Some get along quite well, while others have been entrenched in generations long wars. Some live with nature while others live with technology. There are also many languages on Terra. The most common language is known as Errna (pronounced urn-uh). Errna is the native language of the nacron (raccoon-morphs). Because of their close ties to the dominant world power (the Covey), and because the language of the Covey is hard to speak without a beak for a mouth, Errna has sprouted far and wide, even erasing some languages completely (much as Spanish and English have on Earth.)

==Politics of Terra==

The DB universe also offers political intrigue. Powers and alliances have shifted throughout time, causing both bad blood between peoples and major shifts in spheres of influence. Some of these historical changes, and the current realities of life on Terra, are explored here.

===The Susal===
The susal (susa, singular) are a race of hog-morphs originating from sub-Saharan Africa. These people are one of the physically largest and strongest races on Terra. Their spartan lifestyle and military tactics lead them to military domination of the African continent in years past. At the apex of their civilization, the warring and fractured susian tribes bound together and crushed the resistance of the nonili (lion-morphs) and other feline species making up the Brotherhood. Eventually the susal tried to conquer southern Europe and fight a dual front against the Lupine Alliance and the Covey. With the leadership of the Covey, the Lupine Alliance and Brotherhood came together to wage war on the susal. Between these three powers, the Susian Empire was completely devastated; every major stronghold was completely destroyed. The remaining tribes were fractured and disjointed. They have never again been a world power.

===The Lupine Alliance===

The Lupine Alliance is a strong alliance between the world's two wolf-like races, the gra'nak and the wre'nek. About three-quarters of all wre'nek and a half of all gra'nak belong to the Alliance. The Alliance controls large portions of eastern and western Europe, and huge swaths of North America. The Alliance has a long history of war against the Brotherhood. No one is quite sure who started the conflict; each side blames the other.

===The Brotherhood===

The Brotherhood is a loose association of feline species who have formed to confront and defend against advances of the Lupine Alliance. The Brotherhood depends on guerilla tactics in its war against the Alliance. Not all felines belong to the Brotherhood, and with each Alliance attack against felines who are not a part of the Brotherhood, more flock to the group to lend it their support and receive its protection. The main exception to this kind of clandestine operation is the nonili, a lion-morph species who live in large towns and cities and maintain territory. This not only makes them a target for the Alliance in North America, but makes them somewhat suspect to other Brotherhood members. For some purist Brotherhood members, the nonili are too wolf-like in their lifestyle.

===The Covey===

Terra's most powerful, most feared, and most respected political and military entity is the Covey. The Covey is made up of raven-like krekas and jay-like korkos. The krekas are the only morphs on the planet to have flight (the korkos cannot fly) and no artificial flying machine has been invented. With their use of napalm, military intelligence, and reputation of fairness and secrecy, the Covey has long been feared and respected -- but when they orchestrated a temporary alliance between the Brotherhood and the Lupine Alliance, lead the charge to devastate the Susian Empire, and then pulled back right before the extinction of the Susal (letting the race continue on), they found even more power. Covey towns and cities tend to be very multi-racial, although the kreka are elitist and look down on 'furred' races. The korko, who are few in number but creative geniuses, are hidden away in walled off sections of Covey cities from which they organize, invent, and rule.

'''Fursuits''' are [[animal]] costumes associated with the [[furry fandom]]. They range from simple [[tail]]s and [[ears]] to full costumes cooled by battery-powered fans. Similar to [[mascot]] suits, they allow the wearer to adopt another personality while in costume. Owners (also known as '''[[:Category:Fursuiters|fursuiters]]''') can spend less than one-hundred to many thousands of dollars on one fursuit, depending on the complexity of the design and on the materials used. These items are frequently sold at conventions, or online by either commission or auction. Many furry fans [[:category:Fursuit makers|make their own]] using online tutorials or advice from newsgroups.

The term ''fursuit'' (coined<ref>[[Critter Costuming]], p13 - Robert King mentions inventing the term ''fursuit'' back in 1993 for the title of an amateur costumers' mailing list about the then un-named hobby while on the way back from a conference (perhaps [[ConFurence 4]]?), in part as a pun on the word ''pursuit''</ref> in 1993 by [[Robert King]]) can also refer to animal mascot costumes in general, as opposed to [[human]] or inanimate object mascots. The act of wearing a fursuit is usually referred to as ''[[fursuiting]]''.

==Types of fursuits==
[[Image:GR FC2007 furry cats costumers.jpg|right|thumb|Fursuits are not always furry]]
The standard fursuit is a full body costume that consists of a head, forepaws (hands), hindpaws (feet) and a body with an attached tail; in some cases, the tail is connected via a belt to the wearer and hangs out through a hole in the back of the body. Many suits include special padding or undersuits to give the character its desired shape (this is especially present in larger characters or those of a particular gender.)

A ''partial suit'' or ''half-suit'' contains the above, only without the body. This allows the wearer to don ordinary clothing (or a different costume) overtop of the paws, head and tail. In partial suits, the tail is usually attached to a belt, and the arms and legs have sleeves that can go up as far as the shoulders and pelvis, respectively.

Most recently, a third type known as the ''three-quarter suit'' has been developed, which consists of a head, arms and pants made to look like the legs, tail and feet of the animal in question, which works well for characters who only wear shirts.

== Reasons for fursuiting ==
[[Image:Wgg the Gnoll.jpg|thumb|right|Wgg the Gnoll, an example of a suit that uses a mask.]]
A person who wears a fursuit generally falls into one or more of five categories.

=== Job or charity work ===
Many furry fans wear fursuits as a job or to bring attention to an event or charity. This can include mascots, though not all mascots are fursuits, nor are all mascot performers furries. Many fursuiters are hired through an agency to represent a character, while others bring their own constructions to an event instead. There are also several volunteer fursuiting groups across North America that either ask or are asked to entertain at various social functions. Some groups even set up their own charitable events or perform on the streets to passersby.

=== Conventions, parades, exhibitions ===
[[Image:FursuitDancersAC2006.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Fursuit dancers at [[Anthrocon 2006]] - video by [[BigBlueFox|BBF]]: <span class="plainlinks">[http://youtube.com/watch?v=dFKdUVsjUqY 1] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb82sUmiCq4&NR 2] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aafWQJwQmZ0 3]</span> ]]
Other furries enjoy wearing their suits for parades, exhibitions, or [[convention]]s. Oftentimes these are of a personal character who they are expressing as a form of role play. The fursuiter may consider themselves to be expressing who they really are. These fursuiters may also wear their suits to small, informal meetings among furry fans in their area. Some may get permission to perform in or outside of a shop or event, while others may simply wear a suit in a major area, such as a mall. However, some public areas have no-mask laws, so individuals seeking to wear their fursuit in large, public places should check first if it's allowed before performing at that location.

=== [[Role-playing]] ===
Some LARPers create highly elaborate costumes (including fursuits) for their characters. Half-suits are usually created for role-playing games, though some LARPers use full-body suits. These suits wear elaborate clothes and costumes of their own, depending on the theme of the game.

=== Sexuality ===
A small portion of the [[furry fandom]] considers a fursuit a sexual item. A fraction of the fursuits sold are made for sexual activity. Some suits may contain elaborately designed sexual features, while some wearers simply snip a hole or two out themselves. The [[Wikipedia:music video|music video]] for "[[Beautiful]]" by [[Wikipedia:Moby|Moby]] revolves around a [[Wikipedia:Swinging|swinger]] house party where all the participants are dressed up in fursuits, though this is likely to be intended as a metaphor rather than a statement about the furry fandom.

=== Spirituality ===
Some people (usually [[Wikipedia:otherkin|otherkin]] or [[Wikipedia:therianthropy|therianthropes]]) also fursuit for reasons of expressing what they feel is their inner animal self. Most of them try to make their suits as realistic and lifelike as possible.

==Construction==
{{main|Construction of fursuits}}

==Maintenance==

Some fursuiters spray their costumes with Febreeze, Endbac, Lysol, or a generic antibacterial spray after each use. Usually fursuiters select a product that will kill bacteria, rather than just mask odours. During storage, the fursuiter may keep it stored with a fabric softener sheet, or a box of baking soda like the ones used in a fridge or freezer.

The fursuit is regularly brushed. Fursuiters usually try to brush the fur in such a way that it doesn't pull on the fur backing, as not to weaken it.

When it comes time to wash the suit, fursuiters consider each part individually. If foam is soaked in water, it may not dry quickly enough and start to grow bacteria or fungus before it does. Airbrushed patterns may fade if washed. Glue used to hold parts of the suit together may weaken if washed. Leather is usually not advisable to soak in water. If the suit has any electronics, those may be damaged by water. If wire or plastic canvas gives part of the suit its shape, it may not be advisable to soak that part, or at least not to machine-wash it.

The parts that will not be washed can usually be wiped with a damp cloth. Stains may be removable with a product like [[Bubble Gund]].

The parts that will be washed can either be machine washed or hand-washed. Usually the fursuit is turned inside-out and zipped up to avoid extra stress to the fur. No heat is used during the process as this can shrivel the fur. For detergent some will use a regular laundry detergent, while some may use a special detergent like Woolite. Putting undiluted detergent directly onto the fur may cause fading, so fursuiters try to avoid this except for treating stains. For machine-washing, the fursuiter chooses one of the more delicate cycles. For hand-washing, the fursuiter tries not to stretch the backing, and not to squeeze the fur into an alignment other than its natural lying flat state.

After the suit is washed, it is then dried. The fursuiter may fluff it up in the dryer in an air-only cycle. '''No heat is used in any step.''' Usually the fursuiter does not dry it completely, but takes it out and brushes it periodically until it is completely dry. Since waterlogged fur is heavy, the fursuiter may go to some lengths to lay it out flat while drying, so it doesn't stretch from the extra weight. Fans may be used to accelerate the drying process.

Fursuiters are divided over whether [[Wikipedia:drycleaning|dry cleaning]] is advisable for fursuits. Since dry-cleaners can choose from many different methods and settings, and there are many types of fur, it is likely that one answer does not apply to all situations.

== Performance ==
[[Image:Fursuit Markus Hug.JPG|right|thumb|[[Markus]] offering a hug.]]
A key part of playing a character in suit is an engaging performance. The most expensive fursuit in the world will not help someone who does not know how to use it. Looking good is important, but not as important as ''acting''.

How the performer acts in costume reflects on how others relate to them. If the desired character is bouncy and bubbly, then acting that way is required to communicate it to spectators.

The design of the suit plays a part in some of the moves that can be done. For example, some fursuiters with floppy muzzles nod their heads up and down rapidly to simulate laughter or enjoyment. This cannot be done with suits with a rigid muzzle, or no muzzle at all.

=== Body language ===

Fursuiters do not generally speak in costume. This may be for a variety of reasons:
* To preserve the anonymity or conceal the gender of the performer
* The design of most suits muffles the voice of the performer
* Most animals don't talk

Because of this, acting in suit is all about body language.

'''Mozdoc Alicentaur''' (real name: '''Jeremy Quentin Wetzel''') is a [[male]] [[furry]] whose [[fursona]] is a [[centaur]] with a glittering magical [[unicorn]] horn, a third eye in the middle of his forehead, wings, and, in the "centaurpede" shape, several hundred [[equine]] torsos in a row.<ref>[http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/d/r/dreapate/mozdocthelong.jpg.html Depiction of Mozdoc the Centaurpede] by [[Andrea Pate]]</ref> He currently resides in California.

==Controversy==
===MUCK bans===

Mozdoc has been involved in several [[MUCK]] controversies, the earliest record of which stems from [[SpinDizzy MUCK]], where he was [[toading|toaded]] in 2000 after breaking into [[Argon Hamilton|Argon]]'s account (another player on the MUCK, and editor of "@Action News", SpiniDizzy MUCK's online newspaper. <ref>[http://www.spindizzy.org/newspaper037.htm Player's Account Hacked]</ref>

Later, in 2002, a follow up article concerning Mozdoc was posted in @Action News, written in a satirical style.<ref>[http://www.spindizzynews.org/newspaper101.htm Mozdoc Delights, Amuses Wizards With Inept Demands]</ref> The main thrust of the article stated that Mozdoc's original six-month suspension from the MUCK had been extended to a permanent ban. The article stated that this was due to his attempts to break through his suspension by repeated rapid connections to Spindizzy, and then when this failed by trying to evade the ban with a new character alias '''Myana''' from a different ISP, which succeeded until such time as the wizards detected the fraud. [[Findra]], server [[wizard]] on SpinDizzy, verified these parts of the satirical account as being accurate.<ref>[http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Talk%3AMozdoc&diff=162046&oldid=161985 Findra's message on WikiFur]</ref>

Mozdoc was also banned on [[Tapestries]] after attempting to escape the [[stockade]] by [[@toad]]ing himself and re-registering. Following [[WhiteWizard]]'s IP ban, the wizards received an email from Mozdoc containing a repeated expletive.<ref>[http://www.fur.com/tapestries/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=381&S=b69f4f0a49b79f4f0fa9d3acf8e5098f Can somebody please toad my characters?] post on Tapestries Forum by Mozdoc on May 28, 2002.</ref>

He has also been banned from [[FurryMUCK]]<ref>http://www.furry.org.au/taurboard/messages/1216.html</ref>, [[Altered Realities]]<ref>[http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:GreenReaper&diff=prev&oldid=135907 Post to WikiFur from a source claiming to be a Wiz on the Altered Realities MUCK]</ref>, [[Unbridled Desires]]{{fact}}, and [[Meadows MUCK]], the latter after Mozdoc continued to harass the headwizard, an [[administrator]] of [[WikiFur]] under the name [[SpazKitty]], after she banned him on WikiFur.

===Kacey Miyagami===

In early 2002, Mozdoc began to distribute [[Kacey Miyagami]]'s artwork without her authorization. Shortly after she protested and her wife, [[Ayukawataur]], stepped in to intervene, Mozdoc escalated his actions to open threats against Kacey's life. Following advice by her family, she filed a [[Wikipedia:Injunction#Temporary restraints|Restraining Order (TRO)]] in November of 2002. This injunction lasted from the date of filing until November 17, 2005.<ref>[http://www.furbid.ws/images/administaur/restrain.pdf Copy of public temporary restraining order]</ref>

Both Kacey and Noriko were named as protected parties on the TRO. This prohibited Mozdoc from having any contact with Ayukawataur and he was banned from [[FurBid]] as Noriko believed him using her system would inevitably result in contact. When the TRO expired in Novemeber of 2005, Ayukawataur reviewed his constant attempts to covertly use the system. She decided at that time to not restore his access. He was unbanned in September 2007, but re-banned a month and a half later.<ref>[http://ayukawataur.livejournal.com/59999.html mr. mozdoc] - {{lj-user|Ayukawatur}} (September 23, 2007)</ref><ref>[http://ayukawataur.livejournal.com/64078.html mozdoc reloaded] - {{lj-user|Ayukawatur}} (November 13, 2007)</ref> At this time there is no projected date to review his status.

[[Image:Mozdoc_fa.PNG|right|thumb|233px|FurAffinity "Hate Manifesto"]]
Mozdoc resumed his harassment, including death threats, after posting a manifesto on why he hates her on his user account at [[Fur Affinity]] in a journal entry dated October 14, 2006 <ref>http://www.furaffinity.net/user/mozdoc</ref>, and placing a disparaging comment under one of Kacey's artworks, "Farewell to Earth", a fifth-generation commission to [[Bernard Doove]]<ref>http://www.furaffinity.net/full/95170/</ref>. He was banned from the site the next day by FA administration. Mozdoc continued his anti-Kacey message in other forums as well.<ref>[http://www.furbid.ws/messageboard2/ his older posts on furbid]</ref><ref>[http://adorna.epilogue.net/cgi/database/art/view.pl?id=96118 post on epilogue]</ref><ref>[http://www.furbid.ws/images/administaur/The_Desktoop_by_Mozdoc.jpg the first] and [http://www.furbid.ws/images/administaur/FUCK_YOU_DEVIANTART_by_Mozdoc.jpg the second] both named exactly as were uploaded</ref><ref>[http://goldfur.livejournal.com/50106.html?nc=18 Attack on Goldfur]</ref>

This harassment continued in person again at [[Further Confusion 2007]]. He was removed from the [[convention]] by con authorities for harassment after multiple warnings, and for attempting to take covert photographs of Kacey's print display books. He was allegedly removed from the grounds later that evening by hotel authorities for being in con areas without a con membership.<ref>It is generally believed that these allegations are true. However, [[Anthropomorphic Arts and Education|AAE]] has officially declined to comment on the issue.</ref>
