'''Yiffstar''', also known as the '''Yiff'''y '''St'''ory '''Ar'''chive, was a privately funded non-commercial archive of erotic [[furry]] fiction, artwork and music. Though focusing on furry stories with adult or sexual content, it also had sections for non-sexual fiction and artwork.

Submitted content is moderated by a crew of volunteer reviewers. There was no censorship for content, other than the requirement of entries to be furry or animal related. Over 25,000 submissions had been accepted as of November 2007.

== History ==

The creation of Yiffstar was triggered by the demise of archives like [[gotfox.com]] and the stagnation of [[Mia's Index of Anthro Stories]]. Unlike Mia's, Yiffstar seeks to actively preserve [[anthropomorphic]] fiction, rather than building a link database.<ref>[http://www.yiffstar.com/index.yiff?pid=16882 About Yiffstar]</ref>. There are over 15,000 approved stories, 9,000 pictures and 150 songs as of 4 November 2007.<ref>[http://www.yiffstar.com/ Yiffstar.com front page]</ref> The site has over 36,000 registered users.<ref>[http://www.yiffstar.com/index.yiff?action=sitestats Yiffstar Site Statistics]</ref> Since its launch on September 19, 2002, Yiffstar has grown to provide a forum, personal furry art and literature galleries, furry music, personal journals, a [[MUCK]], a chat room, and an integrated [[oekaki]] board.<ref>[http://forum.yiffstar.com/index.php?topic=17053.0 Tormal's Yiffstar To-Do List]</ref>. Most of the many upgrades to the site have happened silently without noticeable downtime.
Yiffstar was founded and is run by Toumal Rakesh.

=== Site relaunch as SoFurry ===

Yiffstar was relaunched as [[SoFurry]] on December 26, 2009.<ref>[http://www.yiffstar.com/index.yiff?pid=111071 SoFurry FAQ - All your questions are answered!] Updated December 13, 2009. Retrieved December 21, 2009.</ref> The site retained its existing database of art and stories and now contains new group features.<ref>''[http://www.yiffstar.com/?pid=109996 Launch Procedures Initiated]'' - [[Toumal]], Yiffstar journal (25 November 2009)</ref>

== Services ==
==== Story Archive ====

Literature is grouped by content as either "Male/Female", "Male/Male", "Female/Female", "Male solo", "Female solo", "Other", or "Clean". Subcategories involve the material's content, such as the types of characters, and any [[sexual fetishism|fetishes]] that are involved. Popular locations are also available allowing users to search more easily though the database.

YS features an "opt-out" toggle to filter out keywords for things that a user may find repulsive has been added making things even easier to browse by simply removing from view anything that meets the "offensiveness" criteria set by the user.

A rating system allows users to vote on a scale between 1 and 5 as to the quality of a work. A separate comments system at the bottom of the work lets visitors leave their thoughts. If a user really likes a piece of work they can add it to their favorites list, or watch the creator to see their future work in a separate view.

==== Art Gallery ====

Yiffstar featured two types of visual art: Regular digital art, and an online [[Oekaki]] board.
The art galleries are the main hub of visual art on Yiffstar, featuring all the community functions available for stories: Favorites, Watchlists, Comments, Ratings etc.

Art can be grouped in folders by the artist, allowing them to separate different topics, group their art by year or any other criteria they desire.

The oekaki board is meant to be used as a visual comment, to allow visitors to draw whatever a particular submission inspires them to.

==== Music ====

Following repeated requests by users, Yiffstar adopted music uploads in 2007, again taking all the features available for story and visual art submissions and allowing them to be used for the new content format. Fears of repeated uploads of commercial music have so far been unfounded thanks to the work of the many volunteer reviewers.

==== Journals ====

Also in 2007, users gained the ability to run their own journal on Yiffstar. This feature has only basic functionality right now, with update notification and additional enhancements planned for early 2008.

==== Forums ====

Yiffstar contains a forum with an active furry community of over 32,000 registered users.<ref>[http://forum.yiffstar.com/index.php?action=mlist Yiffstar Forum Users]</ref>. Some of the more popular sub-forums include "The Yiffstar Village" (general talk), "Endless [[Yiff]] [[role playing |role play]]" (adult), "Furry Sexuality", Yiffstar personals, a [[commission]] marketplace, "Story and Art Feedback" and many others.

==== YiffChat ====

[[YiffChat]] is Yiffstar's web-based chat, centered on sexual [[roleplay]]. Due to YiffChat's availability even through firewalls, and because of its ease of use, it is one of the most popular services of the site. YiffChat has 34 rooms as of 3 March 2007.<ref>Rooms in YiffChat (Accessed 3 March 2007):

Private chats are possible either by whispering (by clicking the >> sign next to a username), or by creating a private room within the chat.
For more information about another user, clicking ? on the right side of their user name will bring up their profile. Users can also be ignored (thus making their statements invisible to you) by clicking "ign". If present, the gender sign next to a user name tells whether their character is male, female or [[herm]].

==== [[F.A.P (Yiffstar)|F.A.P]] ====

F.A.P initially started out as an image board in the spirit of [[Wikipedia:2chan|2chan]]. Adult furry art was posted in threads with specific topics, often grouping pictures of individual species of anthropomorphic creatures into a single thread.

In 2006, F.A.P switched to a software that provided a filtered, "image only" view of the Yiffstar Forums. Unlike other 2chan-based boards, F.A.P does not have a [[Do Not Post|DNP list]].
The board employs a linking system called "Thumbnailizer". It effectively enables hotlinking to a variety of sites in a way that prevents traffic problems for the sites hosting the images, effectively downloading an image no more often than once every 24 hours regardless of how many people view the image on F.A.P.

F.A.P was down from May to December 2007 due to the forums switching from PHPBB to SMF. It has recently been recoded from scratch.

==== Random gay furry art ====

A small link on the sidebar leads to a simple page that refreshes every thirty-seconds with random images marked "male solo" or "male/male" from Yiffstar's Galleries. Sometimes the pictures that come up are of an erotic [[homosexual]] nature, sometimes they are simply pictures featuring males - it is fully random.

As of December 6th, 2009, the link is still present on the sidebar, but the function has been replaced with the following text:

"Sorry, I had to disable this service because its load cannot be flexibly spread across multiple servers. Please consider asking your favorite artists to upload their art to yiffstar.com!"

== Defunct areas ==

*Furry TS - A [[Wikipedia:TeamSpeak|Teamspeak]] server named 'International Furry community' was geared for furry voice chat, socializing and role-, and gameplay. Connecting to and using the service is free.
*Web-hosting - Though artists used to negotiate with Toumal over web space, this has been fully replaced by the Gallery features of the site.

*InstantMessaging - Yiffstar used to run a free [[Wikipedia:Jabber|Jabber]]-compatible instant messaging server at [http://im.yiffstar.com/ im.yiffstar.com].

*[[YIMU Island]] was Yiffstar's [[MUCK]]. Closed down in 2007 after disagreement between Toumal and several MUCK wizards over Muck ownership.

== Trivia ==
*Yiffstar features shortcut URLs for most parts of the site. For example www.yiffstar.com/user/YourUsername takes visitors straight to the user page of a particular user, www.yiffstar.com/gallery/YourUsername goes to the galleries, www.yiffstar.com/stories/YourUsername takes visitors to the story index of that user.
[[Image:Tacoma-yiffstar5.png|right|Yiffstar by Tacoma Tigressfire]]
*Yiffstar's site banner is variable, being composed of a rotating series of user-donated images. Banner contests are held once per year.
*The story archive is loosely based on an open-source content management system that was originally designed for a small, personal webpage. Over the course of five years, the site's code has grown from 20Kb to over 800Kb.
*Yiffstar has moved servers several times, mostly for CPU performance or bandwidth reasons. Custom scripting allows the site to have individual parts run on separate servers, and to be moved around whenever necessary.
*The Yiffchat "Louvre"-rooms allow users to post and share the URLs to images on other websites and have them being displayed in full right in the chat window - like fchan on steroids. This system initially worked for all URLs, but due to heavy abuse in May/June 2006 when the chat was spammed with links to photos which most people considered grotesque, it has been restricted to pictures on [[FurNation]], [[Fur Affinity]] and [[VCL]].
*A range of Yiffstar-branded merchandise, including clothes, bags, stickers, an umbrella and a baby bib, is sold through [https://www.spreadshirt.com/shop.php?sid=30947 spreadshirt.com (America)] and [https://www.spreadshirt.net/shop.php?sid=140934 spreadshirt.net (Europe)].
*Yiffstar is a member of the "Miscellany" category of the ''Recommended Anthropomorphics List'' published by the [[Ursa Major Awards]]

[[Image:Me_by_Housyasei_san.png|right|thumb|Minun, the Minun]]
[[Image:OP_255.png|right|thumb|Minun, the Seedrian (defunct character)]]
'''Minun''' (aka '''Housyasei-san''', H/M), born March 6, 1988, is an artist who mainly draws [[Pokémon]] fanart, both clean and erotic. She has two fursonas, a [[Wikipedia:List of Pokémon (301-320)#Minun|Minun]] (a species of Pokémon) and a [[Seedrian]] (a species based on ''[[Sonic X]]''), although her Seedrian fursona had since been defunct. Her Minun fursona appears as both [[Non-anthro|feral]] and [[Pokémorph]] forms. She claims this as her [[pseudofur|pseudosona]] since she is only lightly involved with the furry fandom as a whole.

== History ==
She has been an artist at a very young age, but she did not get serious about it until during the early times she attended high school. She has also since then, been into anime/manga fandom art. Her early endeavors where of [[Sailor Moon]] and Pokémon, along with other animes of the late 1990s, early 2000s. She did noy get into the furry fandom until she came across various ''[[kemono]]'' and other fur-based sites such as [[AGNPH]], which she became a member of. After then she started drawing furry art more often, and mostly Pokémon-based fanart.

Nowadays, she still draws Pokémon, but to a lesser degree. She is also hoping to work on more original creations on the side. As of late, she gained a great affinity towards many fur-based [[Wikipedia:Olympic mascot|mascots]] of the [[Wikipedia:Olympic Games|Olympic Games]], notably the [[Fuwa]], although she mostly prefers [[Cobi]] & [[Petra]] of the [[Wikipedia:1992 Summer Olympics|1992 Summer Olympics]] and other older mascots. She also began gaining interest in other sports-related mascots, such as [[Zakumi]] of the upcoming [[Wikipedia:2010 FIFA World Cup|2010 FIFA World Cup]].

Minun is currently located in [[Wikipedia:Metairie, Louisiana|Metairie, Louisiana]], USA. She is also attending college in [[Wikipedia:Baton Rouge, Louisiana|Baton Rouge]] and is a biology major in her junior year. Minun had attended [[Anthrocon 2010]].<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1525048/ "The Cliche post-AC Post"] from Minun's [[Fur Affinity]] journal. Retrieved July 18, 2010.</ref>

Softpaw Magazine

2010-06-29T19:51:30Z

Hope(N Forever):

[[File:SoftpawMagazine.png|right|Softpaw Magazine]]
'''''Softpaw Magazine''''' is the first [[cub]]-related magazine in the fandom, mainly featuring [[erotic]] art and stories. It is published by [[Dream Field Comics]], and distributed online and through [[Rabbit Valley]].

The first issue of ''Softpaw'' was published in October 2006. A story-based spinoff, '''''Finding Avalon''''', was first published in July 2008.

''Softpaw'' has been popular, but also highly controversial due to its subject matter, with bans at [[Eurofurence]] and [[Further Confusion]].
{{WikiFurNews|AAE bans Softpaw from Further Confusion 2008 over legal fears}}
{{WikiFurNews|Eurofurence 13 bans Softpaw}}
{{WikiFurNews|Mature cub fanzine readies second issue}}
== History ==

''Softpaw'' was partially inspired by Arcc's "Ivan & Tas" series on the [[Secretmoon]] [[oekaki]], a haven for fans of cub artwork.<ref>''[http://www.secretmoon.org/oekaki/index.php?a_match=Arcc#699 Ivan & Tas 8]'' (NSFW) - comment by [[Jery Softpaw]] (22 September 2008)</ref> The publishers drew from a mix of established artists and authors on Secretmoon and [[Cub Central]], as well as new artists on websites like [[Fur Affinity]]. As the production of ''Softpaw'' cost a large amount of money, pre-orders and donations were encouraged, with donators' nicknames printed on the last page of each issue.

Some contributors [[News:Mature cub fanzine readies second issue|held events to promote the comic]], such as the popular pizza parties at Further Confusion and [[Califur]]. However, attempts by artists to distribute the comic at [[Eurofurence]] were thwarted when [[News:Eurofurence 13 bans Softpaw|the convention banned the work]], followed shortly after by a [[News:AAE bans Softpaw from Further Confusion 2008 over legal fears|ban at Further Confusion]], where publishers had planned to release ''Softpaw'' #3.

''Softpaw'' #2 was listed in the [[Ursa Major Awards]]'s 2007 Recommended Anthropmorphics List in the ''Best Fanzine'' category. The next year, both ''Softpaw'' #3 and #4 and ''Finding Avalon'' #1 [[News:2008 Ursa Major Award voting open|made it onto the awards ballot]], for ''Best Magazine'' and ''Best Comic Book'' respectively. In the end, neither work won, but the fact that they had got that far [[News:2008 Ursa Major Award winners announced#Controversy|concerned]] those who felt such works should not be considered for the award.

For the 2009 Awards, a rule blocking "works of a predominantly sexual nature, or which include explicit sexual situations involving characters which may be underage or non-anthropomorphic animals" was added.<ref>''[http://www.flayrah.com/c/2009-ursa-majors-open-not-all 2009 Ursa Majors open, but not to all]'' - [[GreenReaper]], [[Flayrah]] (22 January 2010)</ref> As no issues of ''Softpaw'' or ''Finding Avalon'' were published in 2009, this rule was not tested against them.

== Issues ==
{{Rating-nc17-button}}
''Softpaw'' issues have been released on a six- to nine-month basis. However, there have been no new releases since 2008.

=== Issue #1 ===

'''Krystal''' is a fictional [[fox]] character created by Nintendo and Rare for the Nintendo 64 game ''[[Dinosaur Planet]]''. Her role in that game was intended to be a playable primary character, but in the revolutionary introduction of the Nintendo GameCube, her role changed. The game ''Dinosaur Planet'' was scrapped and its elements were modified and altered into ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''. Her playable status was made short and she became the "damsel in distress" in the game who was trapped because she could channel spirits.

[[Image:Krystal1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Krystal, as she appears in ''Star Fox Adventures'']]

Her popularity has been noticed by Nintendo, and in a joint cooperation effort with Namco, she became a primary character in the [[Star Fox]] universe. Krystal's role was advanced when Namco gained permission to reuse her in the video game ''Star Fox: Assault'' as a pilot and a playable character in the multiplayer mode. It is in this game that it was introduced that she was a telepath, a fact that was not all too useful in the game, but was used as a cutscene plot device to launch a mission. It also confirmed the romantic connection between her and Star Fox leader, [[Fox McCloud]].

[[Image:Krystal_old.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Krystal, as she would have appeared in ''Dinosaur Planet'']]

In the game ''Star Fox Command'', it is revealed that Fox and Krystal's relationship blossomed, but Fox was concerned over Krystal's safety and asked her to leave the Star Fox team; upset over his decision, Krystal left Fox and hadn't been seen since. During the course of the game, it was discovered that Krystal joined the Cornerian Army as a pilot, and during the Anglar invasion, joined Star Wolf. The game features multiple, conflicting endings, some of which show Krystal staying with Star Wolf and starting a relationship with Panther, another has her renaming herself Kursed and becoming a bounty hunter after being driven out of the Lylat System under accusations of betraying Fox. Even more endings have her rejoining Star Fox; one of the endings shows her and Fox settling down to start a family, having a son named Marcus. An interview with two of the game's producers, Q Games' Dylan Cuthbert and Nintendo's Takaya Imamura, suggest that ''none'' of the endings are considered canon, and that any sequel will ignore them.<ref> [http://ds.ign.com/articles/731/731088p2.html]</ref>

Outside of video games, she is a fairly popular and common character in so much [[erotic]] [[furry art]].<ref>[http://images.google.com/images?q=krystal+furry&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi A Google Image Search locates pornographic art in its inital results]</ref> She is often paired with many crossover characters from other fandoms, and the most popular pairing is when Krystal is intimately depicted with [[Renamon]], a fox-like, female [[Digimon]].

==Trivia==
{{WikiFurNews|'Krystal sandwich' meme strikes Fur Affinity}}
Fan research has uncovered several pieces of deleted audio that show that Krystal would have had a bigger role in ''Star Fox Adventures'' than in the finished game. These include Krystal shouting warnings to Fox, asking Fox why he saved her without knowing who she was, and even stating that she would join the Star Fox team if Fox would kiss her. It has also been discovered that Krystal's messages to Fox when he finds her staff were originally in English.

An internet meme based on Krystal, trying to eat a sandwich is called "[[Krystal can't enjoy her sandwich]]".

Digimon

2009-10-09T14:01:10Z

Hope(N Forever):

'''''Digimon''''' is an [[anime]] and comic series from Japan, based on a video game of the same name.

Many species of Digimon are some type of animal, whether [[Anthropomorphic|anthro]] or non. For example:

* [[Wikipedia:Guilmon|Guilmon]] is a [[reptile]], vaguely inspired by a Tyrannosaurus rex
* [[Wikipedia:Renamon|Renamon]] is an anthropomorphic [[fox]] woman, greatly inspired by a [[kitsune]]
* [[Wikipedia:Garurumon|Garurumon]] is a [[werewolf]]
* [[Wikipedia:Gatomon|Gatomon]] is an anthropomorphic [[cat]]
* [[Wikipedia:Patamon|Patamon]] is a little rodent with huge ears.
* [[Wikipedia:Veemon|Veemon]] is a blue [[dinosaur]]

Other digimon have been variants of [[rabbit]]s, [[bear]]s, [[lizard (phenotype)|lizards]], [[frog]]s, and a large number of other species and lifeforms.

Some furries and scalies have created their own 'Digimorphs' (similar to [[Pokémorph]]s, albeit less common); Some examples of these Digimorphs can be: [[http://www.furaffinity.net/user/lilglenndoggy Demiglenn]], [[Dragoneer]], [[DarkDoomer|Patachu]],[[http://www.furaffinity.net/user/Satosuke Kato]],[[http://www.furaffinity.net/user/Ende Darkie]] and many others.

[[Image:Klonoa1_2.jpg‎|thumb|250px|right|Klonoa, in his current design]]
'''Klonoa of the Wind''' is an anthropomorphic [[cat]]* who made his appearance in the Klonoa series. The character was designed by [[W:Yoshihiko Arai|Yoshihiko Arai]].

== Abilities ==
Klonoa's ring allows him to fire wind bullets, which inflate things, creating a possible fetish.

Klonoa has very large ears and they enable him to fly for a short time.

The ring also forms a sword in later games.

== Fandom ==
In the furry community, Klonoa is very often paired with [[Miles Tails Prower|Tails]] in [[yaoi]], and oddly enough, rarely drawn in inflation pictures. Klonoa is also often [[Gender bender|gender bended]] by fans in both art and fiction.

== Footnotes ==
* *Namco has supposedly (no reliable source) stated that they do not wish to assign Klonoa a [[phenotype]], but if forced to, think of him as a cat with long ears

[[WikiFur]], which began in 2005 as a mainly-English-language wiki for the [[furry fandom]], has since grown to become a multilingual, non-profit project which provides information concerning the furry fandom and furry-related history to users in 12 languages. Despite the proliferation of multilingual editions, the English WikiFur provides a lion's share of articles in comparison to its counterparts, with over 11,000 articles since March-April 2009.

Five members of the WikiFur project were launched in 2008; two of the 12 languages of the WikiFur project, [[WikiLurv]] and [[TurriWiki]], are autonomously governed and hosted due to their initially separate beginnings and later voluntary affiliation as lingual editions with the larger WikiFur project.

In addition to the publication of encyclopedic articles on the furry fandom, the WikiFur project also hosts the [[WikiFur Pool]], an image repository that allows for integration of graphic media content between the various lingual editions, and the (currently English-language) WikiFur News, which provides periodic news articles on events related to or taking place within the furry fandom; the former is hosted on http://pool.wikifur.com while the latter is hosted on the English WikiFur.

Hope(N Forever): /* External links */

:''This article is about the franchise in general. You may be looking for [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|the titular character]]''.

'''Sonic the Hedgehog''' is a popular series of video games by [[Wikipedia:SEGA|SEGA]], created in 1991 and starring a blue [[hedgehog]] called [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic]] embroiled in constant battles against his nemesis/rival, Ivo Robotnik (aka Eggman). There have also been several spin-off cartoons and comics. Sonic is heavily popular in the furry fandom, although his sidekick, [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] the two-tailed [[fox]], is often more popular than Sonic himself. Other [[anthropomorphic]] characters from the games and associated media, like [[Sally Acorn]], [[Bunnie Rabbot]] , [[Antoine D'Coolette]], [[Rotor J. Walrus]], [[Dulcy the dragon]], [[Princess Lupe Wolf]], [[Rouge]], [[Cream]], [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]], [[Silver]] and many others, also tend to attract attention.

[[Yerf]] famously instituted a ban on all Sonic-inspired artwork after the archive was flooded with low-quality artwork related to the game.

Max Black Rabbit

2009-10-07T19:11:58Z

Hope(N Forever): /* Fursona */

[[Image:Maxinemax.png|thumb|right|Max's [[fursona]]s]]
'''Max Black Rabbit''' (real name: '''Malcolm Earle''') is a Canadian [[furry artist]], and the creator of the (in)famous [[tiger]]-striped [[skunkette]], [[Zig Zag]]. He has worked on various comic titles such as ''[[Hit the Beach]], [[In the Zone]], [[Furrlough]], [[Extinctioners]], [[Extinctioners Annual]], [[Skunkworks Reflections]], [[Boudoir]], [[Rare Breed]],'' and ''[[Sabrina Online]]'', among others. He lives in Nepean, Ontario, Canada.

He was the [[guest of honor]] at [[Conifur Northwest 2001]] and [[Feral! 2007]].

== Fursona ==

As his '''Bunnyman''' alter ego, he has a crush on [[Sabrina]], the lead character on the "Sabrina Online" series, but he has been constantly euchred in all his attempts to date the skunkette.

He has tried just about everything, from bribing Sabrina's little sister [[Tabitha]] to introduce them, trying to woo her at a [[science fiction]] [[convention]] (and having [[R.C. Raccoon]] beat him to it, as well as having a run-in with [[Stinken]]!) to finally trying to meet her face to face at her apartment, only to end up babysitting the li'l ones.

Max also has a [[female]] [[fursona]], '''Maxine'''. Maxine is more or less a clone of the male Max, albeit with female traits. She is sometimes issued to be the [[Gender bender|gender-bended]] variation of Max, but is often depicted as a separate entity, however.

== Original Characters ==

Aside from his aforementioned Fursonas, Max has also created several other original characters that have become well-known among the furry community.

* '''[[Zig Zag]]''': One of Max's first and possibly most well-known original characters.

* '''[[Coil]]''': A member of [[Aaron Larson]]'s [[Anacoonda]] species, Coil is typically being depicted as the rival of Aaron's own Anacoonda character, [[Astrid (Anacoonda)|Astrid]].

* '''[[Raven Hunt]]''': A blue-furred [[wolf (species)|wolf]], Raven is a teacher at the fictional [[Patriarch University]] along with characters contributed by several other artists.

* '''[[Pussy Noir]]''': A black-furred [[feline]], Pussy is a character that was created largely for the [[Fur After Dark]] paysite, though Max has posted images of her on his free sites as well.

My Adult Little Pony

2009-10-07T18:49:23Z

Hope(N Forever):

'''My Adult Little Pony''' was a [[Yahoo!]] Group for sharing and discussing [[erotica]] inspired by the [[My Little Pony]] toy line, although the artwork was mostly based on the television series and films that were released in both the 1980s and 1990s. Items posted included sketches, completed artwork (both scanned images of drawn artwork and computer-made), photographs of posed toys, and short stories.

It was closed by Yahoo! without warning. This is due to the fact Yahoo! has a policy against Groups that have images or themes depicting copyrighted children's characters in sexually explicit situations.

{{cleanup}}
[[Image:EmberlynbyHibbarysmall.jpg|right|thumb|Emberlyn as drawn by Hibbary]]
[[Image:Mirelmture-embericon.jpg|left|thumb|Emberlyn as drawn by Mirelmture]]

'''Emberlyn Whimsy''', or just "Emberlyn" or simply "Ember", (August 19, 1982 - June 13, 2009) was a [[Red Panda]] from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She used to identify as a Gold [[Dragon]] named '''Aurora''', but has since realized that is her [[Wikipedia:Dæmon_%28His_Dark_Materials%29|Dæmon]] rather than her [[fursona]]. She was a jewelry artisan, focusing on wildlife and [[totem]] pieces. Her work was at the [[Anthrocon 2006]] [[art show]].

Emberlyn was most active on [[Tapestries]] as '''Chimayi''' the red panda, a character she uses only for [[roleplay]]ing. In the past she was most active on [[Furrymuck]] as "Indivara" the bat, but has since left FM because she is too busy for multiple [[MUCK]]S.

Emberlyn was also a [[fursuiter]] with multiple [[fursuit]]s, and had plans to make Ember come to life by 2010. She was staff at [[Anthrofest]] 2006 and 2007. She was [[polyamorous]].

"Emberlyn Whimsy", the character, is a [[Red Panda]] that is depicted as various ages - but by a default she is 14 years old. She lives in an alternate world of her player's creation. Her species and many others tend to have a much shorter lifespan than humans. The part of the world she resides often has long autumns and winters and much shorter summers, though none of the seasons are exceptionally harsh. She lives in a bustling city and she works in the equivalent of a pawn shop with her grandfather and brother. Her wings are considered extremely unusual and she is made fun of constantly despite their obvious advantages of them. In her spare time she loves making jewelry, fixing and tinkering with broken gadgets, and flying with the dragons, the only other creature that has the gift of flight in her city.

Emberlyn passed away on June 13, 2009 due to medical complications.<ref>[http://daemonpage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13977 "Farewell to a TDFer: Vicky of Aurora"] - posting by Sky Prince on daemonpage.com. Dated June 14, 2009. Retrieved June 15, 2009</ref>

Rouge the Bat

2009-04-22T21:37:13Z

Hope(N Forever): Rouge moved to Rouge the Bat over redirect

'''Rouge the Bat''' is a popular [[anthropomorphic]] [[fruit bat]] from the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] [[video game]] series. She claims to be a treasure hunter, but is generally viewed as a jewelry thief.

Rouge is most known for being the only current and common [[female]] Sonic character to have an obvious sexual appeal, with the possible exception of [[Amy Rose]]; as such, her fanart tends to exaggerate her voluptuous shape even moreso than her official appearances.

== Personality ==
In official media, Rouge appears on the outside to be independent and cold, and slightly vain. She has been shown at times to have compassion or pity, or even vulnerability.

Her taste for fine jewelry leads to disagreements with museums, and with [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]], who protects the Master Emerald.

== Fandom ==
In the general [[furry]] community, Rouge is often portrayed as a fleeting seductress, generally with extremely large [[breasts]], who uses her raw sexual appeal with great liberty.

Common jokes, punchlines, or fetishes attributed to Rouge include:
* Breasts filled with some light gas, enabling her to fly with their weight
* The usage of jewelry, particularly emeralds, as sexual euphemisms

== See Also ==
* [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]], her general rival, and hinted love interest.

Furry Art Pile

2009-03-05T23:33:56Z

Hope(N Forever): /* Art Piles */

[[Image:Furry Art Pile.png|right|Furry Art Pile]]
'''Furry Art Pile''', also known as '''FAP''', was a [[furry]] art community which opened to the public on September 24, 2006. It relied on a system of tagging for organizing content. Mature artwork was permitted, but hidden by default.

* '''Addresses''':
** '''Website''': http://www.furryartpile.com/ (down)
** '''LiveJournal''': http://community.livejournal.com/furryartpile/ (active)
* '''Founder''': [[ekigyuu]]
* '''Administrator''': ekigyuu
* '''Ran from/to''': September 24, 2006 - September 1, 2008

==History==

Since it's inception on September of 2006, the site grew exponentially, with 12,358 works uploaded to the site in June 10, 2007,<ref name="fAPI">fAPI query http://www.furryartpile.com/api/works.xml</ref> to a high of 30,077 works in April 2, 2008, <ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/furryartpile/2849.html?thread=33569#t33825 Re: question about Furry Art Pile: current statistics?] April 2, 2008, ([[wikipedia:Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]]) reply by Ekigyuu to Furry Art Pile LiveJournal community.</ref> continuing on such steady rate until its shutdown on September 1st, 2008.

Furry Art Pile went down for week in late March 2007, as part of an upgrade to its most recent version.

==== Shutdown ====
[[Image:FAP last notice.jpg|right|thumb|200px|FAP last displayed public notice]]
The founder announced on August 27, 2008 that:
{{q|Two years later, this isn't fun for me anymore. I spend too much time everyday developing new features and optimizing the code to perfection; I never have time for my other projects. [...] So, I'm closing FAP<ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/furryartpile/4067.html Goodbye, Furry Art Pile]. August 27, 2008 post to furryartpile LiveJournal community. Retrieved August 31, 2008.</ref><ref>[http://noodlesandbeef.livejournal.com/263913.html The Last FAP]</ref>}}
This announcement, which stated that Furry Art Pile's archives would be deleted by the end of August was met with severe criticism.{{fact}}

==== Reopening, FAP's future? ====

The site was partially reopened on August 29 with planned public access for two more weeks, with Ekigyuu supposedly being into negotiations with an unidentified third party over a possible acquisition and continuation of Furry Art Pile; [[MyFursona]] has also stated its own interest in acquiring Furry Art Pile, with intentions of merging accounts between the two services<ref>[http://www.myfursona.com/blog/5029 The FAP Situation], by Tori Belliachi</ref><ref>[http://toribelliachi.livejournal.com/84582.html MyFursona and Furry Art Pile]</ref>.

However, when asked about selling or offering the site to new management, Ekigyuu denied that such negotiations were taking place at all; in addition, the announcement of the transaction by [[Tori Belliachi]] was thrown into doubt due to Belliachi's age (he was born in 1991, making him 16 at the time of the announcement) and British citizenship, which would restrict access to, let alone administration of, a website with pornographic or adult content<ref>[http://noodlesandbeef.livejournal.com/264199.html#comments Commentary by ekigyuu and arshes]</ref>.

Ekigyuu also disclosed interest in releasing the source code for the website's server software under an open source license in preparation for the shutdown in preparation for the deletion of the service<ref name="OpenSource">[http://community.livejournal.com/furryartpile/4067.html?thread=49123#t49123 Comment by ekigyuu]</ref>; with the alleged negotiations in progress, it is not known if this open-sourcing of the server software will still take place.

==== Final word ====

On August 31st, Ekigyuu made a post stating that the site will not be transferred to anyone else, and all site URL's began forwarding to a [[Wikipedia:Rick Roll|Rick Roll]] video on [[YouTube]].<ref name="RickRoll">[http://community.livejournal.com/furryartpile/4159.html Post on FAP LJ Community, stating that it's now closed]</ref>

==== Art Piles ====

The domain name Furryartpile.com now redirects to [http://www.artpiles.com ArtPiles.com]. All that currently exists at this new domain is the title "Art Piles - The Open Source Art Community" and a looping image of a bouncing bird, which was part of FAP's "loading" graphic. It is unknown at this time what Art Piles will be, but prior announcements point to an open source release of FAP's code for implementation on other sites.

As of February 8th, 2009, the original FAP URL still re-directs to ArtPiles; however, the date March 1st is in bold, large font centered on the page. This may suggest that the site is in a way making a surprise return, although it probably has a new identity. Oddly, the date had come and gone, but there was nothing happening, and the index page almost remains the same as it was.

== Features ==
[[Image:FAPLJ.gif|thumb|right|FAP's LJ logo]]
In addition of an external LiveJournal community, FAP other services included:

==== '''Embedded FAP''' ====

This feature, announced on June 29, 2007, would have allowed FAP members to display their latest works on their galleries in their personal websites, blogs and even their [[MySpace]] pages.<ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/furryartpile/1268.html New Feature: Embedded FAP Updated!] June 29, 2007 post by Ekigyuu to Furry Art Pile LiveJournal community.</ref>

===='''Tagging''' ====

Furry Art Pile's art classification is handled entirely using user-created and selected tags. However, certain tags carry a specific meaning, including the following:

* '''mature''': Marks the work as mature, preventing it from being shown by default
* '''draft''': Marks the work as unfinished, hiding them from appearing in the user's gallery (unless specifically searched for)
* '''featured''': Places the work in the user's "Featured works" gallery, displayed above their normal gallery on their user page

In addition, some tags are used to identify works based on other properties:

* '''user:'''''username'' Identifies the user that created the work
* '''favby:'''''username'' Identifies works marked as favorites by the user
* '''type:'''''genre'' Identifies images (art), writing (prose), or flash-based works (flash)
* '''color:'''''hue'' Identifies works using the specified color
* '''workid:'''''number'' Returns works related to the specified work

==== '''Full featured search''' ====

Besides being able to browse by tags, Furry Art Pile allows users to search with [http://www.furryartpile.com/help/#searchoperators boolean search operators] and spans of time. Search results can be sorted by date uploaded, popularity and relevance to the search string with up to 120 thumbnails per page.

==== Filters ====

Individual tags and users can be filtered or "hidden" with Furry Art Pile's tag filter.

==== RSS feeds ====

Tags, artists and all works were available as RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds:

* [http://www.furryartpile.com/rss/all.xml] returns all recent works.
* [http://www.furryartpile.com/rss/tag/tag.xml] returns recent works that match a tag string.
* [http://www.furryartpile.com/rss/user/username.xml] returns recent works for a specific user.

Syndication feeds for message centers and comment threads were being developed, right up to the site's shutdown.<ref name="fapblog">http://community.livejournal.com/furryartpile/265.html</ref>

==Software==
==== Developer API ====

Furry Art Pile features an open developer API called '''fAPI''' that allows developers to create their own applications using the information on Furry Art Pile. Furry Art Pile was the only furry art website that offered an open API.

==== Open source ====
{{main|Guava (CMS)}}
Ekigyuu has announced intentions to release the source code of the content management system that Furry Art Pile used to host and upload content under the [[wikipedia:GNU General Public License|GNU GPL]] for other furry multimedia sites to use<ref name="OpenSource"/>; this server software was codenamed "''Guava''". This will also include the release of the fAPI.

As of October 27, 2008, the new redirect for Furryartpile.com seems to indicate that this open source package will be called "Art Piles."

Hope(N Forever): Fixed some links and text

[[Image:Me_by_Housyasei_san.png|right|thumb|Minun, the Minun]]
[[Image:OP_255.png|right|thumb|Minun, the Seedrian]]
'''Minun''' (aka '''Housyasei-san''', H/M), born March 6, 1988, is an artist who mainly draws [[Pokémon]] fanart, both clean and erotic. She has two fursonas, a [[Wikipedia:List of Pokémon (301-320)#Minun|Minun]] (a species of Pokémon) and a [[Seedrian]] (a species based on ''[[Sonic X]]''), although her Seedrian fursona had since been defunct. Her Minun fursona appears as both [[Non-anthro|feral]] and [[Pokémorph]] forms. She claims this as her [[pseudofur|pseudosona]] since she is only lightly involved with the furry fandom as a whole.

== History ==
She has been an artist at a very young age, but she did not get serious about it until during the early times she attended high school. She has also since then, been into anime/manga fandom art. Her early endeavors where of [[Sailor Moon]] and Pokémon, along with other animes of the late 1990s, early 2000s. She did noy get into the furry fandom until she came across various ''[[kemono]]'' and other fur-based sites such as [[AGNPH]], which she became a member of. After then she started drawing furry art more often, and mostly Pokémon-based fanart.

Nowadays, she still draws Pokémon, but to a lesser degree. She is also hoping to work on more original creations on the side. As of late, she gained a great affinity towards many fur-based [[Wikipedia:Olympic mascot|mascots]] of the [[Wikipedia:Olympic Games|Olympic Games]], notably the [[Fuwa]], although she mostly prefers [[Cobi]] & [[Petra]] of the [[Wikipedia:1992 Summer Olympics|1992 Summer Olympics]] and other older mascots. She also began gaining interest in other sports-related mascots, such as [[Zakumi]] of the upcoming [[Wikipedia:2010 FIFA World Cup|2010 FIFA World Cup]].

Minun is currently located in [[Wikipedia:Metairie, Louisiana|Metairie, Louisiana]], USA. She is also attending college in [[Wikipedia:Baton Rouge, Louisiana|Baton Rouge]] and is a biology major in her junior year.

MythTrainerInfinity has been actively involved in community activities on the Internet for over half a decade.

=== 2000 - mid-2005 ===

Starting in 2000, MythTrainerInfinity spent several years playing classic board and card games on MSN Games and became the leader of Zone Checkers Rooms, a community exceeding 3000 members that focused on hosting tournaments primarily for [[wikipedia:checkers|checkers]], [[wikipedia:chess|chess]], and [[Wikipedia:contract bridge|contract bridge]]. Unfortunately, due to betrayal and malicious attacks from hackers, Zone Checkers Rooms fell apart in 2004.

In mid-2005, he became the tournament event administrator at World Gaming Center ([http://wgcenter.com an online gaming website]). For the duration of his career at World Gaming Center, he trained hundreds of tournament host applicants to host tournaments and pushed for the usage of forums for users and staff members to communicate ideas quickly.

=== Late-2005 - present ===

In late 2005, MythTrainerInfinity began drawing and quickly became active in Serebii Forums' art forum he met [[Snagger Outlaw]] and the two quickly became friends. In January 2006, he pulled together a group of six artists (including Snagger Outlaw) on Serebii Forums and started N-Parody and created a website for N-Parody with the aid of a website designer who worked for free. Unfortunately, in mid-2006, N-Parody was back stabbed and the website designer ripped down N-Parody's entire site and demanded money for his services, otherwise he would not return the pages back to normal. N-Parody did not comply with the demands and the website was lost.

After losing the website, MythTrainerInfinity recruited six more people to join N-Parody (including [[Minun]] and [[Invader Pichu]]) and the group's ranks grew to 12. MythTrainerInfinity hopes to one day rebuild the N-Parody website with the rest of the members of N-Parody.

Currently, he can be seen uploading art on [[DeviantArt]] and Fur Affinity, hosting the monthly art contests at [http://www.serebiiforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=34 Serebii Forums' main art forum], and posting art on some oekaki boards.
