'''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.<br />
[[Image:598000313_l.jpg|left|thumb|175px]]<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Ken Weaver uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />

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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Kit went back to Pasadena, Maryland with his parents. In February of 2007, he and John Settino began working on a furry rock band, currently called [[A Break In Chaos]]. However, they are the only two members of the group who are part of the furry community at this time. <br />
<br />
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. <br />

[[Image:1036300891_l.jpg|right|thumb|133px|Kit spends a lot of his time writing when he's not rocking out]]<br />
=== Star Fox ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
According to author's notes found in various chapters, Kit claims to be open minded and willing to take criticism about his prose.<br />
<br />
A PC video game is in development by a group of Star Fox fans, based loosely on his interpretation of Krystal and her alter-ego, Kursed, from the story, "Reflections of a New Generation." The unfinished game is called, "Project Kursed" by its creators. There is no set release date for this shareware title as of yet.<br />
<br />
=== Sly Cooper === <br />
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, currently in progress). He has also written several short stories in the Sly Cooper fandom, usually with a holiday theme such as Valentine's Day or Christmas.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
He has a [[Wikipedia:Castlevania|Castlevania]] story involving a [[werewolf]], titled ''The Claws of Fate''. <br />

'''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.<br />
[[Image:598000313_l.jpg|right|thumb|174px]]<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Ken Weaver uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
[[Image:L_ce47e479bd0baa7a87bdb8b06a36f7d9.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Kit Karamak is seen here with [[Hiromi Kitsune]] at the 2006 [[PandaGuy's Picnic]] outside of Washington, DC]]<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Kit went back to Pasadena, Maryland with his parents. In February of 2007, he and John Settino began working on a furry rock band, currently called [[A Break In Chaos]]. However, they are the only two members of the group who are part of the furry community at this time. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
== Fan Fiction ==<br />
[[Image:1036300891_l.jpg|right|thumb|133px|Kit spends a lot of his time writing when he's not rocking out]]<br />
=== Star Fox ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
According to author's notes found in various chapters, Kit claims to be open minded and willing to take criticism about his prose.<br />
<br />
A PC video game is in development by a group of Star Fox fans, based loosely on his interpretation of Krystal and her alter-ego, Kursed, from the story, "Reflections of a New Generation." The unfinished game is called, "Project Kursed" by its creators. There is no set release date for this shareware title as of yet.<br />
<br />
=== Sly Cooper === <br />
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, currently in progress). He has also written several short stories in the Sly Cooper fandom, usually with a holiday theme such as Valentine's Day or Christmas.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
He has a [[Wikipedia:Castlevania|Castlevania]] story involving a [[werewolf]], titled ''The Claws of Fate''. <br />

Ken Weaver also uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
<br />
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 comissioned artist MISTEROO, an [[anthropomorphic]] art student from New England to create his avatar. <br />
<br />
In July, he left [[Wikipedia:Blockbuster Video|Blockbuster Video]] as a manager on the nights and weekends. He began a second job as a Loan Officer with an ex-roommate and fellow Maryland musician at the end of June. Because of the American mortgage industry implosion, he was laid off on September 18th and has since become a Department Manager over the technology section in a local Office Depot. <br />
<br />
His 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. <br />

Kit left Richmond in April of 2005 to marry his long-time Internet romance from Knoxville, Tennessee. Unfortunatly, the marriage only lasted until September of 2005 and he was forced to return 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. <br />
<br />
The band began to fall apart and he moved back to his parents' house during the summer of 2006 with his eldest son, Richie. When autumn came, Richie went back to his mother, [[Sparks Hare]] for the school year and Kit moved back to Richmond with Hiromi Kitsune. He stayed there until January of 2007 when his job with Budget Car and Truck Rental dried up; the location became a franchise. He struggled with money over the next month before moving out in search of new work. <br />
<br />
Kit went back to Pasadena, Maryland with his parents to repair his finances In February of 2007, he and John Settino began working on a furry rockband, currently called [[A Break In Chaos]]. During this time, he held a relationship with [[Kara Tweak]], on and off, since the end of 2005, with a hiatus from dating during most of 2006. Around this time, Kit resumed communication with her at the end of the year and continued dating her, on and off, during 2007. The relationship came to its conclusion the first week of August in 2007.<br />
<br />
Kit remains a huge supporter of furry fiction writing. This includes both original ''and'' [[fan fiction]] work. He hopes to become recognized for his writing and often seeks advancement in his style and technique. He often applies what he's learned to the critique he offers to fellow writers. <br />

[[Image:1036300891_l.jpg|right|thumb|133px|Kit spends a lot of his time writing when he's not rocking out]]<br />
=== Star Fox ===<br />
Based on reader feedback and the amount of 'views' each story receives(currently over 19,000 for Reflections of the Future, alone), Kit is, arguably, best known for his Star Fox series, entitled ''Reflections''. These include, but are not limited to: ''Reflections of Krystal'', ''Reflections of the Future'', ''Reflections of a New Generation'', ''Reflections of Peppy'' and ''Reflections of Fox McCloud''. The last three are still in progress. He's also written other Star Fox fanfiction stories and enjoys writing original manuscripts.<br />
Kit began writing Star Fox fan fiction as a teenager around 1994 when he posted a story on the Corneria Mission Base page run by two Star Fox fans, one of whom went by the online moniker of Dr. Foxbert. At the time, Kit's two largest writing inspirations were Julia "VixenDreams" Glassman and Ted Pareotti.<br />
Kit remains very openminded and willing to take criticism about his prose. He enjoys discussing how he can better his style and technique with anyone willing to offer time, attention and advice for his projects.<br />
<br />
=== Sly Cooper === <br />
Kit also writes fan fictions about [[Sly Cooper]], another video game featuring an anthropomorphic character. He has two novel-length fan fictions: ''The Lament of Carmelita'' (finished in 2006) and ''Spy Cooper'' (currently in progress). He has also written several 'one chapter' short stories in the Sly Cooper fandom. <br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
He has a [[Wikipedia:Castlevania|Castlevania]] story involving a [[werewolf]], titled ''The Claws of Fate''. <br />

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.<br />
<br />
He's converted his oldest son's mother to furry; she has assumed the alterego of a [[rabbit]] and she is now married to a [[mephit]] named Darke (pronounced 'Dark', simply because of his black fur coloration and a past phase interest in all things gothic). Kit also introduced his ex-[[mate]] to furry, a [[mouse]] named Kara Tweak. She ended their relationship for personal reasons (none of which involved Furry) the first week of August 2007.<br />

<br />
He is currently seeking to play with other musicians who play: Guitar, Bass, Vocals and Synth and will continue to do so should he remain in Maryland. However, he's also said he's willing to go wherever music and/or writing takes him. <br />
He also does work with an ex-roommate who is a pianist and singer from Gaithersberg. There are rumors and/or speculation of other projects that he's contemplating, outside of Maryland.<br />

[[Image:598000313_l.jpg|right|thumb|174px]]<br />
According to his profiles on FanFiction.net, self posts and blogs from his MySpace website, his LiveJournal and even his [[deviantART]] page, Kit claims he is unjudgemental and openminded in opinion regarding discussion on all types of religion, political views, sexuality and other points of relative controversy. He sees himself as openly accepting of others, even if he doesn't agree with them. He states that he refuses to judge people based on any of these issues. Kit has stated that he has his ''own'' opinions on many different aspects of life but keeps these views to himself unless asked otherwise. <br />
<br />
Kit is strongly against racism. He tries to be somewhat diplomatic by nature. He believes in working things out and trys to be friends with everyone willing to conversate with him. He has stated this repeatedly in his author's notes and on forum boards throughout the Internet. <br />
<br />
He tends to avoid confrontation or physical altercations when possible. Unlike many furries, Kit is a member of the Republican Party. He's also Christian.<br />
<br />
Kit likes to eat anything sweet and is an [[omnivore]]. At AC '04, he was cornered by vegetarians about being a furry who likes eating meat; he refused to argue and walked away - proof that he has a tendency to avoid confrontational people. <br />

These include, but are not limited to: ''Reflections of Krystal'', ''Reflections of the Future'', ''Reflections of a New Generation'', ''Reflections of Peppy'' and ''Reflections of Fox McCloud''. The last three are still in progress. He's also written other Star Fox fanfiction stories and enjoys writing original manuscripts.<br />
Kit began writing Star Fox fan fiction as a teenager around 1994 when he posted a story on the Corneria Mission Base page run by two Star Fox fans, one of whom went by the online moniker of Dr. Foxbert. At the time, Kit's two largest writing inspirations were Julia "VixenDreams" Glassman and Ted Pareotti.<br />
Kit remains very openminded and willing to take criticism about his prose. He enjoys discussing how he can better his style and technique with anyone willing to offer time, attention and advice for his projects.<br />
<br />
=== Sly Cooper === <br />
Kit also writes fan fictions about [[Sly Cooper]], another video game featuring an anthropomorphic character. He has two novel-length fan fictions: ''The Lament of Carmelita'' (finished in 2006) and ''Spy Cooper'' (currently in progress). He has also written several 'one chapter' short stories in the Sly Cooper fandom. <br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
He has a [[Wikipedia:Castlevania|Castlevania]] story involving a [[werewolf]], titled ''The Claws of Fate''. <br />

He's converted his oldest son's mother to furry; she has assumed the alterego of a [[rabbit]] and she is now married to a [[mephit]] named Darke (pronounced 'Dark', simply because of his black fur coloration and a past phase interest in all things gothic). Kit also introduced his ex-[[mate]] to furry, a [[mouse]] named Kara Tweak. She ended their relationship for personal reasons (none of which involved Furry) the first week of August 2007.<br />

<br />
Kit likes to eat anything sweet and is an [[omnivore]]. At AC '04, he was cornered by vegetarians about being a furry who likes eating meat; he refused to argue and walked away - proof that he has a tendency to avoid confrontational people. <br />

'''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 Baltimore, Maryland; Washington, DC; Great Lakes, Illinois; Richmond, Virginia and Knoxville, Tennessee at one point or another. He enjoys video games, watching movies, reading and socializing. 'Kit' is short for Kitsune, however, his [[avatar]] is a normal one-[[tail]]ed fox, not a magic endowed [[kitsune]] of [[Inari]] Lore.<br />
[[Image:L_df494956dacd1785ea618f2e5516f472.jpg|left|thumb|112px|"Kit Da PimpFox" - proof that some Internet jokes go too far]]<br />
<br />
He enjoys listening to and creating music. His instrument of choice is the drums but often plays the bass and guitar for hobby. He's played these various instruments since about 1995, give or take a year. He also likes to tinker with computers in his spare time, whether to upgrade or simply build something new from spare parts. He has an "A+" and "Net+" certification. He often says his computer education certifies him the ability to 'tie his shoes' in the computer world. He is currently single, according to his [[MySpace]] profile and [[LiveJournal]]. <br />
<br />
Ken Weaver also uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
<br />
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 comissioned artist MISTEROO, an [[anthropomorphic]] art student from New England to create his avatar. <br />
<br />
In July, he left [[Wikipedia:Blockbuster Video|Blockbuster Video]] as a manager on the nights and weekends. He began a second job as a Loan Officer with an ex-roommate and fellow Maryland musician at the end of June. Because of the American mortgage industry implosion, he was laid off on September 18th and has since become a Department Manager over the technology section in a local Office Depot. <br />
<br />
His 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]], [[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. <br />
<br />
[[Image:L_ce47e479bd0baa7a87bdb8b06a36f7d9.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Kit Karamak is seen here with [[Hiromi Kitsune]] at the 2006 [[PandaGuy's Picnic]] outside of Washington, DC]]<br />
Kit left Richmond in April of 2005 to marry his long-time Internet romance from Knoxville, Tennessee. Unfortunatly, the marriage only lasted until September of 2005 and he was forced to return 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. <br />
<br />
The band began to fall apart and he moved back to his parents' house during the summer of 2006 with his eldest son, Richie. When autumn came, Richie went back to his mother, [[Sparks Hare]] for the school year and Kit moved back to Richmond with Hiromi Kitsune. He stayed there until January of 2007 when his job with Budget Car and Truck Rental dried up; the location became a franchise. He struggled with money over the next month before moving out in search of new work. <br />
<br />
Kit went back to Pasadena, Maryland with his parents to repair his finances In February of 2007, he and John Settino began working on a furry rockband, currently called [[A Break In Chaos]]. During this time, he held a relationship with [[Kara Tweak]], on and off, since the end of 2005, with a hiatus from dating during most of 2006. Around this time, Kit resumed communication with her at the end of the year and continued dating her, on and off, during 2007. The relationship came to its conclusion the first week of August in 2007.<br />
<br />
Kit remains a huge supporter of furry fiction writing. This includes both original ''and'' [[fan fiction]] work. He hopes to become recognized for his writing and often seeks advancement in his style and technique. He often applies what he's learned to the critique he offers to fellow writers. <br />

[[Image:598000313_l.jpg|right|thumb|174px]] According to his profiles on FanFiction.net, self posts and blogs from his [[MySpace]] website, his [[LiveJournal]] and even his [[deviantART]] page, Kit claims he is unjudgemental and openminded in opinion regarding discussion on all types of religion, political views, sexuality and other points of relative controversy. He sees himself as openly accepting of others, even if he doesn't agree with them. He states that he refuses to judge people based on any of these issues.

Kit likes to eat anything sweet. Despite being a popular furry eating preferences, he isn't a vegan. Like real foxes, he is proud of being an [[omnivore]] and doesn't exclude certain types of food based on its origin.

Kit has expressed in his Author's Notes on two occasions that if a pack of [[lion]]s were hungry, and followed him into a vineyard, they wouldn't pick the grapes over his leg. On a semi-related note, he likes grapes, despite Aesop's fables claiming they're out of reach to foxes and despite the 2006 California University research that [[canine]]s get sick when ingesting grapes and raisins.<br />

'''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 Baltimore, Maryland; Washington, DC; Great Lakes, Illinois; Richmond, Virginia and Knoxville, Tennessee at one point or another. He enjoys video games, watching movies, reading and socializing. 'Kit' is short for Kitsune, however... his avatar is a normal one-tailed fox, not a magic endowed [[kitsune]] of Inari Lore.<br />
[[Image:L_df494956dacd1785ea618f2e5516f472.jpg|left|thumb|112px|"Kit Da PimpFox" - proof that some Internet jokes go too far]]<br />
<br />
He enjoys listening to and creating music. His instrument of choice is the drums but often plays the bass and guitar for hobby. He's played these various instruments since about 1995, give or take a year. He also likes to tinker with computers in his spare time, whether to upgrade or simply build something new from spare parts. He has an "A+" and "Net+" certification. He often says his computer education certifies him the ability to 'tie his shoes' in the computer world. He is currently single, according to his MySpace profile and Live Journal. <br />
<br />
Ken Weaver also uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
<br />
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 comissioned artist MISTEROO, an [[anthropomorphic]] art student from New England to create his avater. <br />
<br />
He recently left [[Wikipedia:Blockbuster Video|Blockbuster Video]] and was a manager there on the nights and weekends. He now works in Greenbelt, Maryland as a Loan Officer with an Ex-Roomie. <br />
<br />
His 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]], [[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. <br />
<br />
[[Image:L_ce47e479bd0baa7a87bdb8b06a36f7d9.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Kit Karamak is seen here with [[Hiromi Kitsune]] at the 2006 [[PandaGuy Picnic]] outside of Washington DC]]<br />
Kit left Richmond in April of 2005 to marry his long-time Internet romance from Knoxville, Tennessee. Unfortunatly, the marriage only lasted until September of 2005 and he was forced to leave the state for financial reasons. He found an apartment with a bandmate in Rockville, Maryland (just outside of Washington, D.C.) and lived there for one year. <br />
<br />
The band began to fall apart and he moved back to his parents house during the summer of 2006 with his eldest son, Richie. When autumn came, Richie went back to his mother, [[Sparks Hare]] for the school year and Kit moved back to Richmond with Hiromi Kitsune. He stayed there until January of 2007 when his job with Budget Car and Truck Rental dried up; the location became a franchise. He struggled with money over the next month before moving out in search of new work. <br />
<br />
Kit went back to Pasadena, Maryland with his parents to repair his finances. He has held a relationship with [[Kara Tweak]], on and off, since the end of 2005, with a hiatus from dating during most of 2006 but resumed communication with her at the end of the year and continued dating her, on and off, during 2007. The relationship came to its conclusion the first week of August in 2007.<br />
<br />
Kit remains a huge supporter of furry fiction writing. This includes both original ''and'' fan fiction work. He hopes to become recognized for his writing and often seeks advancement in his style and technique. He often applies what he's learned to the critique he offers to fellow writers. <br />
<br />
== Fan Fiction ==<br />
[[Image:1036300891_l.jpg|right|thumb|133px|Kit spends a lot of his time writing when he's not rocking out]]<br />
=== Star Fox ===<br />
Kit is, arguably, best known for his Star Fox series, entitled ''Reflections''. These include, but are not limited to: ''Reflections of Krystal'', ''Reflections of the Future'', ''Reflections of a New Generation'', ''Reflections of Peppy'' and ''Reflections of Fox McCloud''. The last three are still in progress. He's also written other Star Fox fanfiction stories and enjoys writing original manuscripts.<br />
Kit began writing Star Fox fan fiction as a teenager around 1994 when he posted a story on the Corneria Mission Base page run by two Star Fox fans, one of whom went by the online moniker of Dr. Foxbert. At the time, Kit's two largest writing inspirations were Julia "VixenDreams" Glassman and Ted Pareotti.<br />
Kit remains very openminded and willing to take criticism about his prose. He enjoys discussing how he can better his style and technique with anyone willing to offer time, attention and advice for his projects.<br />
<br />
=== Sly Cooper === <br />
Kit also writes fan fictions about [[Sly Cooper]], another video game featuring an anthropomorphic character. He has two novel-length fan fictions: ''The Lament of Carmelita'' (finished in 2006) and ''Spy Cooper'' (currently in progress). He has also written several 'one chapter' short stories in the Sly Cooper fandom. <br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
He has a [[Wikipedia:Castlevania|Castlevania]] story involving a [[werewolf]], titled ''The Claws of Fate''. <br />

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.<br />
<br />
He's converted his oldest son's mother to furry; she has assumed the alterego of a [[rabbit]] and she is now married to a [[mephit]] named Darke (Pronounced 'Dark', simply because of his black fur coloration and a past phase interest in all things gothic). Kit also introduced his ex-[[mate]] to furry, a [[mouse]] named [[Kara Tweak]]. She ended their relationship for personal reasons (none of which involved Furry) the first week of August 2007.<br />

'''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 Baltimore, Maryland, Washington, DC, Great Lakes, Illinois, Richmond, Virginia and Knoxville, Tennessee at one point or another. He enjoys video games, watching movies, reading and socializing. 'Kit' is short for Kitsune but however, his avatar is a normal one-tailed fox, not a magic endowed [[kitsune]] of Inari Lore.<br />
[[Image:L_df494956dacd1785ea618f2e5516f472.jpg|left|thumb|112px|"Kit Da PimpFox" - proof that some jokes go too far]]<br />
He garnished the joke-nickname of '''Kit Da PimpFox''' from his Battlefield 1942 handle. This moniker has led to inside jokes between him and his closest friends. In March of 2005, he officially 'handed over' the "Sceptor of the Pimpaliscious Voop" to Nicky McCloud on the "Outside The GreatFox" forum board, and has ''not'' gone by this nickname since then. People looking for him in online video games can now find him under the name, "Eat@ChinaKing" or "KitKaramak". <br />
<br />
Ken Weaver also uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
<br />
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 comissioned artist MISTEROO, an [[anthropomorphic]] art student from New England to create his avater. <br />
<br />
He recently left [[Wikipedia:Blockbuster Video|Blockbuster Video]] and was a manager there on the nights and weekends. He now works in Greenbelt, Maryland as a Loan Officer. His 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]], [[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. <br />
<br />
[[Image:L_ce47e479bd0baa7a87bdb8b06a36f7d9.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Kit Karamak is seen here with [[Hiromi Kitsune]] at the 2006 [[PandaGuy Picnic]] outside of Washington DC]]<br />
Kit left Richmond in April of 2005 to marry his long-time Internet romance from Knoxville, Tennessee. Unfortunatly, the marriage only lasted until September of 2005 and he was forced to leave the state for financial reasons. He found an apartment with a bandmate in Rockville, Maryland (just outside of Washington, D.C.) and lived there for one year. <br />
<br />
The band began to fall apart and he moved back to his parents house during the summer of 2006 with his eldest son, Richie. When autumn came, Richie went back to his mother for the school year and Kit moved back to Richmond with Hiromi Kitsune. He stayed there until January of 2007 when his job with Budget Car and Truck Rental dried up; the location became a franchise and he was transfered to the Richmond Airport for less hours and no ability to receive commission. <br />
<br />
Kit went back to Pasadena, Maryland with his parents to repair his finances. He has held a relationship with [[Kara Tweak]], on and off, since the end of 2005, with a hiatus from dating during most of 2006 but resumed communication with her at the end of the year and continued dating her, on and off, during 2007. They met as roleplayers in AOL text chats in Fall of 1995. He roleplayed as an anthro fox using the screen names LairdeFox, FoxOfFire and FoxOfFyre. The character's name was Fox Krenyenko, revived and reinvented for WhiteWolf VTM roleplay in 1999. The second generation of this character was not an anthropomorph. <br />
<br />
Kit remains a huge supporter of furry fiction writing. This includes both original ''and'' fan fiction work. He hopes to become recognized for his writing and often seeks advancement in his style and technique. He often applies what he's learned to the critique he offers to fellow writers. <br />
<br />
== Fan Fiction ==<br />
[[Image:1036300891_l.jpg|right|thumb|133px|Kit spends a lot of his time writing when he's not rocking out]]<br />
=== Star Fox ===<br />
Kit is probably best known for his Star Fox series, entitled ''Reflections''. These include, but are not limited to: ''Reflections of Krystal'', ''Reflections of the Future'', ''Reflections of a New Generation'', ''Reflections of Peppy'' and ''Reflections of Fox McCloud''. The last three are still in progress. He's also written other Star Fox fanfiction stories and enjoys writing original manuscripts.<br />
Kit began writing Star Fox fan fiction as a teenager around 1994 when he posted a story on the Corneria Mission Base page run by two Star Fox fans, one of whom went by the online moniker of Dr. Foxbert. At the time, Kit's two largest writing inspirations were Julia "VixenDreams" Glassman and Ted Pareotti.<br />
Kit remains very openminded and willing to take criticism about his prose. He enjoys discussing how he can better his style and technique with anyone willing to offer time, attention and advice for his projects.<br />
<br />
=== Sly Cooper === <br />
Kit also writes fan fictions about [[Sly Cooper]], another video game featuring an anthropomorphic character. He has two successful fan fictions: ''The Lament of Carmelita'' (finished in 2006) and ''Spy Cooper'' (currently in progress). He has also written several short stories in the Sly Cooper fandom. <br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
He has a [[Wikipedia:Castlevania|Castlevania]] story involving a furry character, titled ''The Claws of Fate''. <br />
<br />

*[http://www.fanfiction.net/r/3472382/0/1/ A random review he wrote to another FanFiction writer] This is an example of Kit's type of advice. Several of the issues he mentions can be found in the Writing 101 suggestions for the aspiring writer but personalized to the person for whom the critique was written. A few re-hashed issues were worded differently in this particular instance. <br />
<br />
= Real Life =<br />
== Family Life ==<br />
[[Image:598119200_l.jpg|left|thumb|170px|Kit and Richie look identical at most angles]] [[Image:651720368_l.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Kit rarely sees Thomas and Tyler as they live several states away with their mother.]]<br />
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.<br />
<br />
He's converted his oldest son's mother to furry as a [[rabbit]] and she is now married to a [[mephit]] named Darke. Kit also converted his most recent [[mate]] to furry, a [[mouse]] named [[Kara Tweak]]. She ended their relationship for undisclosed reasons the first week of August 2007.<br />
<br />
== Music ==<br />
[[Image:L_1e414b922ef73503a0704851711ce90e.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Kit plays both the drums AND guitar]] <br />
Kit has played the drums since 1995 and has performed in multiple local Maryland bands since around the summer of 2000. These bands include, but are not limited to: <br />
* Join The Conpiracy (JTC)<br />
* Quits for Now (QFN)<br />
* A Blackberry Crush (BBC)<br />
* A Bullet Away (ABA)<br />
* Minus Q (-Q)<br />
* The Paperback Heroes / Surrendering Dorothy (PBH)<br />
* Tomorrow I'll Try To Yield (TITTY)<br />
* A Break In Chaos (ABC)<br />
<br />
He is currently seeking to play with other musicians who play: Guitar, Bass, Vocals and Synth and will continue to do so should he remain in Maryland. <br />
He also does work with an ex-roommate who is Piano/Singer from Gaithersberg. There are rumors and/or speculation of other projects that he's contemplating, outside of Maryland.<br />
<br />
===Brand Name Preferences===<br />
*PROMARK's Millennium II series Japanese Oak 2B sticks with wood tips<br />
*DW gear, TAMA hardware (Including the Iron Cobra kick peddals and Hi Hat stands) with Roc'n'Soc throne<br />
*Maryland Drum snares (With Ludwig Silverdot head if possible)<br />
*Roland V-Drums TD12 with mesh heads<br />
*Evans G3 kickdrum heads<br />
*2ply Evans G2 heads or Remo WeatherKing heads (Coated)<br />
*Zildjian Avedis cymbals or Paiste-2002 series cymbals<<br />
<br />
Kit plays the guitar, bass and drums. Some pictures of his on-stage performances can be found throughout the Internet.<br />
<br />
== Beliefs & Lifestyle ==<br />
[[Image:598000313_l.jpg|right|thumb|174px]] According to his profiles on FanFiction.net, self posts and blogs from his [[MySpace]] website, his [[LiveJournal]] and even his [[deviantART]] page, Kit claims he is unjudgemental and openminded in opinion regarding discussion on all types of religion, political views and even views on sexuality and other points of relative controversy. He states that he refuses to judge people based on any of these issues. He does not judge people based on their political or religious views. He's not judgmental of people based on their choices of Gender or Sex. Kit has stated that he has his ''own'' opinions on many different aspects of life but keeps these views to himself unless asked otherwise. <br />
<br />
Kit is strongly against racism. He's diplomatic by nature and is against most types of conflict, especially the squabbles and arguments between individuals. He believes in working things out and trying to be friends with everyone and has stated this repeatedly in his author's notes and on forum boards throughout the Internet.<br />
<br />
He claims not to closely follow any one political party. However, he has stated that if he were ever to run for President, it would be for the Republican Party. <br />
<br />
Kit likes to eat anything sweet. Despite being a popular furry eating preferences, he isn't a vegan. Like real foxes, he is a proud [[omnivore]] and doesn't exclude certain types of food. He claims that Vegans make their choices as nothing more than personal statements because human beings are not strictly [[herbivore]]s. However, he tries to remain respectful and openminded to their personal choices so long as ''they'' don't down ''him'' for eating a delicious steak. Kit has expressed in his Author's Notes on two occasions that if a pack of [[lion]]s were hungry, and followed him into a vineyard, they wouldn't pick the grapes over his leg. On a semi-related note, he likes grapes, despite Aesop's fables claiming they're out of reach and despite the 2006 California University research that [[canine]]s get sick when ingesting grapes and raisins.<br />

Hi there, Rat - welcome to WikiFur! Thanks for your contributions so far - let me know on my [[User talk:GreenReaper|user talk page]] if you need any [[help]] not already provided. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 07:28, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Hi, Rat...it's definitely Psychedelic '''A'''vatar, both capitalized. (My fuzzy alter-ego happens to be #326. :) [[User:CarlFox|Carl Fox]] 01:35, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Misinformation ==<br />
<br />
I think [[User:24.20.194.136]] is adding misinformation (all the edits about North Star Kung Fu). -- [[User:Rat|Rat]] 09:51, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, it does seem to have been a little odd. Someone trying to perpetuate an in-joke, I believe. Thanks for taking action. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 17:10, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Whoops . . . ==<br />
<br />
Sorry! We can always make a [[Rat (notthatperson)]] if you want. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 04:19, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== New tabs ==<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[WikiFur:Administrators]]! I noticed your recent reverts, and I thought it might be best to let you deal with that sort of thing yourself, if needed. You may notice a few new tabs along the top, and some other changes around the site in relation to user blocking, rollbacks and the like. I suggest you look over [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Administrators|this page]] if you're not familiar with how to use them. Hopefully you won't need them much, but they're there for when you do. Use them wisely! :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 05:43, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== "include" ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for catching that. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 04:29, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />

<br />
Thanks for giving your attention to the wiki - I'd like to recommend the 'preview' button, however. -- [[User:Siege|Siege]] 15:11, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Recent vandal ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for catching that one. In that sort of situation (multiple page blanking or simple vandalism) you can add "&bot=1" to the URL of the user's contribution page and then reload the page with that URL. This will make it so that the contributions effectively disappear on recent changes when you roll them back (unless you look for them by turning bot actions on) and the only thing that appears is the ban. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 16:38, 26 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
In response to Rat: Yes, there wasn't much of a point to it, more of a dare and being an on the whim action. I'm sure you can guess ''why'' it was done, with his background, though I agree it was rude and I apologize. --Nytwolf<br />
<br />
== Recent vandal ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for helping out with that spate of vandalism. Not sure what was up with that. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 22:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Article Illustrations ==<br />
<br />
Hello. I noticed that you requested artists to create art to add to WikiFur articles. I wish to say that if you wish, you may let me know if there are any articles you think need art, and I will be glad to draw something for them. Also, if I do happen to see any unillustrated articles, may I notify you to show whether what I add is acceptable? I am not sure of what the guidelines are for art at this time; however, so I shall need to find that out. -- {{UT|Seamora}} 10:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Here are some suggestions. This is not an exclusive list, and if you find another article where you can contribute art that meets the requirements I set out are [[User:Rat]], that is still good.<br />
:* [[Furry art]]<br />
:* [[Chakat]]<br />
:* [[Fox]]<br />
:* <strike>[[Cheetah]]</strike><br />
<br />
:Yes, you may use my talk page to talk about your proposals for art.<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 18:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Could you expand on "Must be released under a license acceptable to the WikiFur community."? Is "Artist approves use of this image on WikiFur" such a license, for example? I was thinking we could do with such a tag, with a number of people uploading their own art but not explicitly releasing it in some other fashion. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:That's a good question, and maybe we should have community input over what licenses are acceptable. The main thing is that since I'm collecting these images for WikiFur, is that WikiFur's permission to use them is explicit, not implicit. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 00:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Uploading them to WikiFur seems pretty explicit permission to me. <tt>;)</tt> -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 00:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I think that a tag would be highly useful, something like <tt><nowiki>{{ArtBounty|ArticleName}}</nowiki></tt> which both put the artwork into a particular category and provide text linking to the bounty pages and the article page concerned.<br />
<br />
:::As for the licensing, it might be a good idea to consider future applications of the images. For example, if we want to actually publish WikiFur articles in the future it makes sense to require a license that permits that, or have that be a specific term of the agreement. You could argue that this was implied in uploading the artwork, but you could also find that this didn't work out legally. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 06:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::If just uploading them is explicit permission, then getting them to express it in text form as well wouldn't hurt. And getting them to express it in text form also allows them to express conditions like whether they require to be attributed for their work, and whether their work can be used outside WikiFur. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 08:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::How does the wording on Image:Kdelany-grayfox.jpg look to you? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:46, 13 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::I think it's okay. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 19:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::I just thought of one more thing. I'd want to make sure that the terms really are the will of the artist. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Absolutely. Pick a method! -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 03:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::She's local, so I could just ask her. Is she claiming the bounty? --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 04:33, 14 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::::She contacted me and she is claiming the bounty. In my [[User:Rat#Rules|original rules]], Rule #1, is that the artist has to upload their own work, but I'll waive it this time to avoid silliness like the pictures getting deleted and re-uploaded. The pictures in question are:<br />
:::::::* [[:Image:Kdelany-redfox.jpg]] for [[Red Fox]]<br />
:::::::* [[:Image:Kdelany-grayfox.jpg]] for [[Gray Fox]]<br />
:::::::* [[:Image:CheetahFaces.JPG]] for [[Cheetah]]<br />
:::::::I therefore owe Katherine $30 Canadian, and she can contact me to collect her bounty.<br />
:::::::--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 03:43, 15 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Subcategories ==<br />
<br />
As you saw, having someone into a subcategory doesn't keep them in the supercategory. I kinda assume that most forsuit makers are furusiters as well, although I guess technically this might not be the case. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 22:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Patrolled Edits ==<br />
<br />
Since you're an admin, you can automatically mark edits that you make as patrolled. To do this, click "preferences" at the top, then under the "Editing" section, check "Mark edits I make as patrolled" --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 22:41, 26 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Okay, thanks. I never noticed those "other pages" of options before - thank you for pointing that out. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 04:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Illustrations from Sugandya ==<br />
<br />
Hello,<br />
I just wanted to double check with you before I got started. From what I took, one could illustrate any article (save for stubs) that lacked an illustration. Is this so? For example, I picked [[Invertebrate]], [[Kemono]], [[Otherkin]], and [[Kitsune]]; none of which (at the time of this posting) have no images for themselves that are exclusive to Wikifur. I want to make sure I have it clear. :) {{unsigned|Sugandya}}<br />
:Yes, that's correct. You could illustrate any of those.<br />
::Hello again. I got around to producing and adding these two: [[Invertebrate]] and [[Kemono]] for now!--[[User:Sugandya|Sugandya]] 03:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::Looks good. Use the "e-mail user" or other contact to get a hold of me in private. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 03:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::I tried to email you, but that link says no adress has been specified. {{unsigned|Sugandya}}<br />
:::::Try now. I know I've had e-mails through it before; I don't konw how it got turned off. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 03:20, 28 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Illustrations from [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] ==<br />
RainRat, thanks for your generous offer. I have completed several illustrations for your approval. They are on the pages: [[Fursona]], [[Furgonomics]], [[Furry art]], and [[Draconid]]. Please let me know if any of these aren't up to specification. -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 09:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Sorry RainRat, forgot to leave my contact information. Please e-mail me at devandalizer@gmail.com -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 09:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Those look like they meet the guidelines. I will contact you about payment. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 09:33, 24 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
::I have recently created a few more illustrations. These are at [[Fox]] and [[Tiger]]. -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 18:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::Noted. The transfer to my Paypal account hasn't gone through yet, but I will send it to you when it does. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 20:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Deleting redirects ==<br />
<br />
I would like to discuss deleting redirects. As deleted articles are still saved in the database, there is no need to do it to save disk space. In most cases there's no need to delete them. Even if there's no internal pages linking to it, there are still external links and maybe people who have it bookmarked. I don't disagree with all your deleted redirects.<br />
Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Redirects_for_deletion#When_should_we_delete_a_redirect.3F|redirect policy]] may be a start for consideration.<br />
--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I appreciate you letting me know. Could you be more specific about what concerns you, so I have a sense of what to continue doing and what to leave alone? My main concern has been with articles moved to correct capitalization. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Well, to pick a recent example there was [[Zassa of FurryMUCK]]. It was under that name for a long time, so one should leave a redirect so not to break external links and bookmarks. Moving articles to correct capitalization is good, but you don't have to delete the redirects from bad capitalization to good capitalization, so links aren't broken and articles are easy to find --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 05:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::I admit, I hadn't considered external links, though I always check for internal ones. As for capitalization, I should have been clearer. I specifically refer to cases where the article was a proper name (a person, usually) and not capitalized as a proper name: John doe rather than John Doe. Similarly with typos and misspellings. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::If there's an external link to an incorrectly-capitalized page ie [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Snagger_outlaw], the wiki does not take them to the correct page unless there's a redirect. If a misspelling is common, I would keep a redirect from the incorrect to the correct, but if it's an unlikely typo, then yeah, delete it. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 06:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Added article illustrations for bounty ==<br />
<br />
I've added a few more article illustrations:<br />
* [[Eagle]]<br />
* [[Foxtaur]]<br />
* [[Red Panda]]<br />
* [[Serval]]<br />
-- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 01:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Confirmed. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 01:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
:I just thought of something else. One of the rules is "You must own or have permission to use any distinctive characters." You do have permission to use the characters in KDelany-JustinSix.JPG and KDelany-ShaterriAtRest.JPG right? --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:03, 6 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Extinctioners Characters ==<br />
<br />
Hey Rat, I see you made some corrections to some of the Extinctioners Character pages, thanks, I appreciate your interest and improvements, what do you think of them by the way and do you have any suggestions? any additional character informations? please let me know what you think, thanks - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 20:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I really don't know that much about Extinctioners, having never read it. So I can't really comment on how well you covered the topic. I just corrected some obvious errors I came across. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 20:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:PS. I was just [[WikiFur:Sandbox/References|experimenting]] with the references template. It may help keep extinctioners articles looking nice if you use this template. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 21:09, 7 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== [[RFAI]] ==<br />
<br />
I decided to change this page as a Redirect to [[Raven Corr]] instead of deleting, so people would be sent from [[RFAI]] to the page where the information was moved to. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 22:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Sounds good. I didn't even think of setting it as a redirect. Thanks. ^^ [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 23:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Vandalism ==<br />
<br />
Hey Rat, RVDDP2501 here, Listen, thanks for the reversion on the my Sly page, just out of curiousity, what driving these people to go around and vandalize pages like this, I mean, this isn't right. I looked up other vandalisms this guy has done and I can't believe this, Myself and other Wikiusers put time and effort into making our article(s) and these guys just show up and take a Sledge Hammer to them, that just gets me riled up, let me know whats up, thanks - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 13:37, 14 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Hey Rat, have the people responsible for the recent vandalism been banned? - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 01:40, 24 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:As far as I can see at the moment yes. I've been watching [[Special:Recentchanges]], and blocking as I see them. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 01:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Kendareru Neko-sama ==<br />
<br />
Um, what kind of improvements are you looking for on the character's page? I'll try my best to bring it up to standards.<br />
[[User:Kendareru|Kendareru Neko-sama]] 23:19, 6 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
:I didn't add the cleanup tag; I just did some cleanup myself. My suggestion is look at some [[WikiFur:Featured_articles|featured articles]] and compare the style. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 07:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Protecting [[Furry]] ==<br />
<br />
I see that you protected the article [[Furry]]. But I am confused by the comment in the protection log. Did you mean to unprotect the article? --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 22:46, 7 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
:I did unprotect the article; I just left it so that unregistered users couldn't move it, so it still says tht it's protected. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 22:50, 7 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Reducing protection but not removing it registers as 'protected' in the log: [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=protect&user=&page=Furry]. ^_^ --[[w:User:Splarka|Splarka]] <small>([[w:User_talk:Splarka|talk]])</small> 23:59, 7 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Oh, I see. I clicked on the "unprotect" tag on that article and the log message became much clearer. Thanks for pointing that out! --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 00:05, 8 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Howloween 2005 attendance==<br />
Hi Rat, I've changed the Howloween 2005 numbers elsewhere to reflect your attendance figure. If you're certain this is correct, I'll also make sure Flint Otterhall gets the corrections for his infosheet. Thanks! --[[User:Frizzy|Frizzy]] 04:58, 21 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
:That's the information on the howloween_admin list. Unfortunately it isn't public, so I can't cite a specific message. I can't think of anything that would explain that discrepancy.(There were 6 pre-regs that didn't show up(again according to the howloween_admin list), so that isn't it as far as I know). --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 05:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Person stubs ==<br />
<br />
Good to see more person stubs. Thank you for creating them. A few points which would cut down on subsequent edits:<br />
* Bolded aliases should have redirects to the article<br />
* "Soandso is an x who lives in" reads more smoothly, and is more grammatical, than "Soandso is an x living in"<br />
* We have [[:Category:Convention staff]]<br />
Thanks! -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:08, 6 October 2006 (UTC)<br />

== WikiFur and fair use? ==<br />
<br />
Hey Rat, which WikiFur user(s) know most about fair use (in US) and/or fair dealing (in Canada)? (I'm hoping you know) --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 06:32, 5 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I know a certain amount about fair use. Fair dealing, less so (ironic, since I come from the UK, but I didn't really have to deal with it before I came here :-). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 06:33, 5 November 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Hey Rat, sorry but there was a miscommunication between me and Shawntae, He didn't want me to use the adolescent pic of Rokko, so could you please delete - Image:Rokko WhiteEye (Adolecent) by ebonyleopard.jpg - for me, thanks and sorry - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 22:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)<br />

== Image filenames ==<br />
<br />
Heya. When uploading images, could you see about giving them meaningful filenames? That is there in the uploading bumf. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)<br />
:Ok, I have been inconsistent with doing that. I don't see a direct way to rename already uploaded images, but I can reupload them under a new name. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 23:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== RedFox Nightfox ==<br />
<br />
I changed the information on that page because it has inaccurate information about myself. I am no longer on DeviantArt and do not wish to be associated with that website.<br />
<br />
Please do not change it again.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S.<br />
<br />
I am curious as to the fact that someone would even create a page about me in the first place, albeit with only a little information. quite interesting...<br />

== Picture deletion / cannot email? ==<br />
<br />
Log into Wikifur for the first time in months only to find out you deleted one of my pictures (a commission done for me which I had the rights to post). I tried to email you about it but WikiFur complains that I "must be logged in and have a valid email address in my preferences", both of which are true. Sounds like a bug that needs fixing.<br />
<br />
Please do me the courtesy of emailing me or at least triggering something that'll send me a notification before you delete something valid like this.<br />
<br />
Please revert the article to the version before you edited it so the picture will re-appear. Thank you. {{unsigned|Tugrik}}<br />
<br />
:Looks like you've already restored it. Remember to tag the image with what the terms of use for it are.<br />
:If you would like to be notified when a page changes (ie. your talk page), add it to your watchlist. Go under "my preferences", and check "E-mail me when a page I'm watching is changed".<br />
:I don't know about the user-to-user mail thing. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 07:18, 4 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Objective Writeup...? ==<br />
<br />
I'm not exactly sure how you mean by making the article about myself more... objective. You mean abstract? Or controversial? Or do you mean to have more overall objectives to cover in what I explain?<br />
<br />
I suppose I'm just not understanding exactly what particular instances you're referring to in the writeups posted which you offered as examples. <br />
<br />
Sometimes I just have to be shown in detail; if you want to diagram it like sentence structure, I'll probably follow easier than if you say, "check out these few profiles and do it like that." Cause I'm kinda like, "Do what like how? Am I making the article too personal and biased?" <br />
<br />
Just let me know! Thanks! --[[User:Kit-Karamak|Kit Karamak]] 21:10, 15 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
:Some other editors besides me have taken a more active interest in the article and you may want to talk to them. Noted examples from me:<br />
:"He has two successful fan fictions" -Successful in what way?<br />
:"Kit is NOT a vegan." -I don't know why it's stated so strongly.<br />
:--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 21:28, 15 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Ah, I see. Both examples are good ones; I appreciate it. I'll keep an eye out for things that need explaining and seem trivial so that I can tighten up the article itself. Thanks again! --[[User:Kit-Karamak|Kit Karamak]] 01:31, 20 June 2007 (UTC)</div>Kit-Karamak//en.wikifur.com/wiki/User_talk:RatUser talk:Rat2007-06-15T21:10:38Z<p>Kit-Karamak: /* Objective Writeup...? */</p>

== Misinformation ==<br />
<br />
I think [[User:24.20.194.136]] is adding misinformation (all the edits about North Star Kung Fu). -- [[User:Rat|Rat]] 09:51, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yes, it does seem to have been a little odd. Someone trying to perpetuate an in-joke, I believe. Thanks for taking action. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 17:10, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

Sorry! We can always make a [[Rat (notthatperson)]] if you want. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 04:19, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== New tabs ==<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[WikiFur:Administrators]]! I noticed your recent reverts, and I thought it might be best to let you deal with that sort of thing yourself, if needed. You may notice a few new tabs along the top, and some other changes around the site in relation to user blocking, rollbacks and the like. I suggest you look over [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Administrators|this page]] if you're not familiar with how to use them. Hopefully you won't need them much, but they're there for when you do. Use them wisely! :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 05:43, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Thanks for giving your attention to the wiki - I'd like to recommend the 'preview' button, however. -- [[User:Siege|Siege]] 15:11, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Recent vandal ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for catching that one. In that sort of situation (multiple page blanking or simple vandalism) you can add "&bot=1" to the URL of the user's contribution page and then reload the page with that URL. This will make it so that the contributions effectively disappear on recent changes when you roll them back (unless you look for them by turning bot actions on) and the only thing that appears is the ban. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 16:38, 26 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
In response to Rat: Yes, there wasn't much of a point to it, more of a dare and being an on the whim action. I'm sure you can guess ''why'' it was done, with his background, though I agree it was rude and I apologize. --Nytwolf<br />

==Article Illustrations ==<br />
<br />
Hello. I noticed that you requested artists to create art to add to WikiFur articles. I wish to say that if you wish, you may let me know if there are any articles you think need art, and I will be glad to draw something for them. Also, if I do happen to see any unillustrated articles, may I notify you to show whether what I add is acceptable? I am not sure of what the guidelines are for art at this time; however, so I shall need to find that out. -- {{UT|Seamora}} 10:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Here are some suggestions. This is not an exclusive list, and if you find another article where you can contribute art that meets the requirements I set out are [[User:Rat]], that is still good.<br />
:* [[Furry art]]<br />
:* [[Chakat]]<br />
:* [[Fox]]<br />
:* <strike>[[Cheetah]]</strike><br />
<br />
:Yes, you may use my talk page to talk about your proposals for art.<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 18:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Could you expand on "Must be released under a license acceptable to the WikiFur community."? Is "Artist approves use of this image on WikiFur" such a license, for example? I was thinking we could do with such a tag, with a number of people uploading their own art but not explicitly releasing it in some other fashion. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:That's a good question, and maybe we should have community input over what licenses are acceptable. The main thing is that since I'm collecting these images for WikiFur, is that WikiFur's permission to use them is explicit, not implicit. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 00:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Uploading them to WikiFur seems pretty explicit permission to me. <tt>;)</tt> -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 00:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I think that a tag would be highly useful, something like <tt><nowiki>{{ArtBounty|ArticleName}}</nowiki></tt> which both put the artwork into a particular category and provide text linking to the bounty pages and the article page concerned.<br />
<br />
:::As for the licensing, it might be a good idea to consider future applications of the images. For example, if we want to actually publish WikiFur articles in the future it makes sense to require a license that permits that, or have that be a specific term of the agreement. You could argue that this was implied in uploading the artwork, but you could also find that this didn't work out legally. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 06:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::If just uploading them is explicit permission, then getting them to express it in text form as well wouldn't hurt. And getting them to express it in text form also allows them to express conditions like whether they require to be attributed for their work, and whether their work can be used outside WikiFur. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 08:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::How does the wording on Image:Kdelany-grayfox.jpg look to you? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:46, 13 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::I think it's okay. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 19:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::I just thought of one more thing. I'd want to make sure that the terms really are the will of the artist. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::Absolutely. Pick a method! -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 03:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::She's local, so I could just ask her. Is she claiming the bounty? --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 04:33, 14 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::::She contacted me and she is claiming the bounty. In my [[User:Rat#Rules|original rules]], Rule #1, is that the artist has to upload their own work, but I'll waive it this time to avoid silliness like the pictures getting deleted and re-uploaded. The pictures in question are:<br />

== Subcategories ==<br />
<br />
As you saw, having someone into a subcategory doesn't keep them in the supercategory. I kinda assume that most forsuit makers are furusiters as well, although I guess technically this might not be the case. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 22:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Illustrations from Sugandya ==<br />
<br />
Hello,<br />
I just wanted to double check with you before I got started. From what I took, one could illustrate any article (save for stubs) that lacked an illustration. Is this so? For example, I picked [[Invertebrate]], [[Kemono]], [[Otherkin]], and [[Kitsune]]; none of which (at the time of this posting) have no images for themselves that are exclusive to Wikifur. I want to make sure I have it clear. :) {{unsigned|Sugandya}}<br />
:Yes, that's correct. You could illustrate any of those.<br />
::Hello again. I got around to producing and adding these two: [[Invertebrate]] and [[Kemono]] for now!--[[User:Sugandya|Sugandya]] 03:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::Looks good. Use the "e-mail user" or other contact to get a hold of me in private. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 03:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::I tried to email you, but that link says no adress has been specified. {{unsigned|Sugandya}}<br />
:::::Try now. I know I've had e-mails through it before; I don't konw how it got turned off. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 03:20, 28 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Illustrations from [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] ==<br />
RainRat, thanks for your generous offer. I have completed several illustrations for your approval. They are on the pages: [[Fursona]], [[Furgonomics]], [[Furry art]], and [[Draconid]]. Please let me know if any of these aren't up to specification. -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 09:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)<br />

::I have recently created a few more illustrations. These are at [[Fox]] and [[Tiger]]. -- [[User:DeVandalizer|DeVandalizer]] 18:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Deleting redirects ==<br />
<br />
I would like to discuss deleting redirects. As deleted articles are still saved in the database, there is no need to do it to save disk space. In most cases there's no need to delete them. Even if there's no internal pages linking to it, there are still external links and maybe people who have it bookmarked. I don't disagree with all your deleted redirects.<br />
Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Redirects_for_deletion#When_should_we_delete_a_redirect.3F|redirect policy]] may be a start for consideration.<br />
--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I appreciate you letting me know. Could you be more specific about what concerns you, so I have a sense of what to continue doing and what to leave alone? My main concern has been with articles moved to correct capitalization. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Well, to pick a recent example there was [[Zassa of FurryMUCK]]. It was under that name for a long time, so one should leave a redirect so not to break external links and bookmarks. Moving articles to correct capitalization is good, but you don't have to delete the redirects from bad capitalization to good capitalization, so links aren't broken and articles are easy to find --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 05:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::I admit, I hadn't considered external links, though I always check for internal ones. As for capitalization, I should have been clearer. I specifically refer to cases where the article was a proper name (a person, usually) and not capitalized as a proper name: John doe rather than John Doe. Similarly with typos and misspellings. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::If there's an external link to an incorrectly-capitalized page ie [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Snagger_outlaw], the wiki does not take them to the correct page unless there's a redirect. If a misspelling is common, I would keep a redirect from the incorrect to the correct, but if it's an unlikely typo, then yeah, delete it. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 06:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Added article illustrations for bounty ==<br />

Good to see more person stubs. Thank you for creating them. A few points which would cut down on subsequent edits:<br />
* Bolded aliases should have redirects to the article<br />

* We have [[:Category:Convention staff]]<br />

== Picture deletion / cannot email? ==<br />
<br />
Log into Wikifur for the first time in months only to find out you deleted one of my pictures (a commission done for me which I had the rights to post). I tried to email you about it but WikiFur complains that I "must be logged in and have a valid email address in my preferences", both of which are true. Sounds like a bug that needs fixing.<br />
<br />
Please do me the courtesy of emailing me or at least triggering something that'll send me a notification before you delete something valid like this.<br />
<br />
Please revert the article to the version before you edited it so the picture will re-appear. Thank you. {{unsigned|Tugrik}}<br />
<br />
:Looks like you've already restored it. Remember to tag the image with what the terms of use for it are.<br />

== Objective Writeup...? ==<br />
<br />
I'm not exactly sure how you mean by making the article about myself more... objective. You mean abstract? Or controversial? Or do you mean to have more overall objectives to cover in what I explain?<br />
<br />
I suppose I'm just not understanding exactly what particular instances you're referring to in the writeups posted which you offered as examples. <br />
<br />
Sometimes I just have to be shown in detail; if you want to diagram it like sentence structure, I'll probably follow easier than if you say, "check out these few profiles and do it like that." Cause I'm kinda like, "Do what like how? Am I making the article too personal and biased?" <br />
<br />

Welcome to [[WikiFur:Administrators]]! I noticed your recent reverts, and I thought it might be best to let you deal with that sort of thing yourself, if needed. You may notice a few new tabs along the top, and some other changes around the site in relation to user blocking, rollbacks and the like. I suggest you look over [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Administrators|this page]] if you're not familiar with how to use them. Hopefully you won't need them much, but they're there for when you do.

== Recent vandal ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for catching that one. In that sort of situation (multiple page blanking or simple vandalism) you can add "&bot=1" to the URL of the user's contribution page and then reload the page with that URL. This will make it so that the contributions effectively disappear on recent changes when you roll them back (unless you look for them by turning bot actions on) and the only thing that appears is the ban. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 16:38, 26 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
In response to Rat: Yes, there wasn't much of a point to it, more of a dare and being an on the whim action. I'm sure you can guess ''why'' it was done, with his background, though I agree it was rude and I apologize. --Nytwolf<br />

==Article Illustrations ==<br />
<br />
Hello. I noticed that you requested artists to create art to add to WikiFur articles. I wish to say that if you wish, you may let me know if there are any articles you think need art, and I will be glad to draw something for them. Also, if I do happen to see any unillustrated articles, may I notify you to show whether what I add is acceptable? I am not sure of what the guidelines are for art at this time; however, so I shall need to find that out. -- {{UT|Seamora}} 10:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Here are some suggestions. This is not an exclusive list, and if you find another article where you can contribute art that meets the requirements I set out are [[User:Rat]], that is still good.<br />
:* [[Furry art]]<br />
:* [[Chakat]]<br />
:* [[Fox]]<br />
:* <strike>[[Cheetah]]</strike><br />
<br />
:Yes, you may use my talk page to talk about your proposals for art.<br />
<br />
:--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 18:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Could you expand on "Must be released under a license acceptable to the WikiFur community."? Is "Artist approves use of this image on WikiFur" such a license, for example? I was thinking we could do with such a tag, with a number of people uploading their own art but not explicitly releasing it in some other fashion. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:That's a good question, and maybe we should have community input over what licenses are acceptable. The main thing is that since I'm collecting these images for WikiFur, is that WikiFur's permission to use them is explicit, not implicit. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 00:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Uploading them to WikiFur seems pretty explicit permission to me. <tt>;)</tt> -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 00:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I think that a tag would be highly useful, something like <tt><nowiki>{{ArtBounty|ArticleName}}</nowiki></tt> which both put the artwork into a particular category and provide text linking to the bounty pages and the article page concerned.<br />
<br />
:::As for the licensing, it might be a good idea to consider future applications of the images. For example, if we want to actually publish WikiFur articles in the future it makes sense to require a license that permits that, or have that be a specific term of the agreement. You could argue that this was implied in uploading the artwork, but you could also find that this didn't work out legally. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 06:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::If just uploading them is explicit permission, then getting them to express it in text form as well wouldn't hurt. And getting them to express it in text form also allows them to express conditions like whether they require to be attributed for their work, and whether their work can be used outside WikiFur. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 08:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Illustrations from Sugandya ==<br />
<br />
Hello,<br />
I just wanted to double check with you before I got started. From what I took, one could illustrate any article (save for stubs) that lacked an illustration. Is this so? For example, I picked [[Invertebrate]], [[Kemono]], [[Otherkin]], and [[Kitsune]]; none of which (at the time of this posting) have no images for themselves that are exclusive to Wikifur. I want to make sure I have it clear. :) {{unsigned|Sugandya}}<br />
:Yes, that's correct. You could illustrate any of those.<br />
::Hello again. I got around to producing and adding these two: [[Invertebrate]] and [[Kemono]] for now!--[[User:Sugandya|Sugandya]] 03:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Deleting redirects ==<br />
<br />
I would like to discuss deleting redirects. As deleted articles are still saved in the database, there is no need to do it to save disk space. In most cases there's no need to delete them. Even if there's no internal pages linking to it, there are still external links and maybe people who have it bookmarked. I don't disagree with all your deleted redirects.<br />
Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Redirects_for_deletion#When_should_we_delete_a_redirect.3F|redirect policy]] may be a start for consideration.<br />
--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 02:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I appreciate you letting me know. Could you be more specific about what concerns you, so I have a sense of what to continue doing and what to leave alone? My main concern has been with articles moved to correct capitalization. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Well, to pick a recent example there was [[Zassa of FurryMUCK]]. It was under that name for a long time, so one should leave a redirect so not to break external links and bookmarks. Moving articles to correct capitalization is good, but you don't have to delete the redirects from bad capitalization to good capitalization, so links aren't broken and articles are easy to find --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 05:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::I admit, I hadn't considered external links, though I always check for internal ones. As for capitalization, I should have been clearer. I specifically refer to cases where the article was a proper name (a person, usually) and not capitalized as a proper name: John doe rather than John Doe. Similarly with typos and misspellings. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 05:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::If there's an external link to an incorrectly-capitalized page ie [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Snagger_outlaw], the wiki does not take them to the correct page unless there's a redirect. If a misspelling is common, I would keep a redirect from the incorrect to the correct, but if it's an unlikely typo, then yeah, delete it. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 06:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)<br />

Hey Rat, I just want to say thanks for the page name chages for Miki and Rokko, I appreciate it - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 16:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Hey Rat, sorry but there was a miscommunication between me and Shawntae, He didn't want me to use the adolescent pic of Rokko, so could you please delete - Image:Rokko WhiteEye (Adolecent) by ebonyleopard.jpg - for me, thanks and sorry - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 22:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Heya. When uploading images, could you see about giving them meaningful filenames? That is there in the uploading bumf. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)<br />
:Ok, I have been inconsistent with doing that. I don't see a direct way to rename already uploaded images, but I can reupload them under a new name. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 23:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)<br />

<br />
I changed the information on that page because it has inaccurate information about myself. I am no longer on DeviantArt and do not wish to be associated with that website.<br />
<br />
Please do not change it again.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S.<br />
<br />
I am curious as to the fact that someone would even create a page about me in the first place, albeit with only a little information. quite interesting...<br />

== Picture deletion / cannot email? ==<br />
<br />
Log into Wikifur for the first time in months only to find out you deleted one of my pictures (a commission done for me which I had the rights to post). I tried to email you about it but WikiFur complains that I "must be logged in and have a valid email address in my preferences", both of which are true. Sounds like a bug that needs fixing.<br />
<br />
Please do me the courtesy of emailing me or at least triggering something that'll send me a notification before you delete something valid like this.<br />
<br />
Please revert the article to the version before you edited it so the picture will re-appear. Thank you. {{unsigned|Tugrik}}<br />
<br />
:Looks like you've already restored it. Remember to tag the image with what the terms of use for it are.<br />
:If you would like to be notified when a page changes (ie. your talk page), add it to your watchlist. Go under "my preferences", and check "E-mail me when a page I'm watching is changed".<br />
:I don't know about the user-to-user mail thing. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 07:18, 4 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Objective Writeup...? ==<br />
<br />
I'm not exactly sure how you mean by making the article about myself more... objective. You mean abstract? Or controversial? Or do you mean to have more overall objectives to cover in what I explain?<br />
<br />
I suppose I'm just not understanding exactly what particular instances you're referring to in the writeups posted which you offered as examples. <br />
<br />
Sometimes I just have to be shown in detail; if you want to diagram it like sentence structure, I'll probably follow easier than if you say, "check out these few profiles and do it like that." Cause I'm kinda like, "Do what like how? Am I making the article too personal and biased?" <br />
<br />
Just let me know! Thanks!</div>Kit-Karamak//en.wikifur.com/wiki/User_talk:Kit-KaramakUser talk:Kit-Karamak2007-06-14T04:24:37Z<p>Kit-Karamak: /* Kit Karamak article */</p>

== [[Kit Karamak]] article ==<br />
<br />
The article [[Kit Karamak]] is a bit too informally written for something in the article space. An article that's a bit more objective would do better as a main article. Have a look at some of the featured articles about people, such as [[Banrai]], [[Scott Malcomson]], or [[Fox Cutter]] for ideas on how an objective article can be written about a person. Also [[User:Rat/Why_did_you_change_my_article]] may help explain this as well. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 07:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br><br><br />
What needs to be cleaned up about it, now? I've lengthened the featured article, how more objective should I make it? <br />

<br><br />
'''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 Baltimore, Maryland, Washington, DC, Great Lakes, Illinois, Richmond, Virginia and Knoxville, Tennessee at one point or another. He enjoys video games, watching movies, reading and socalising. 'Kit' is short for Kitsune but he is a normal one-tailed fox, not a magic endowed [[kitsune]] of Inari Lore.<br><br />
<br> [[Image:L_df494956dacd1785ea618f2e5516f472.jpg|left|thumb|112px|"Kit Da PimpFox" - proof that some jokes go too far.]]<br />
He garnished the joke-nickname of '''Kit Da PimpFox''' from his Battlefield 1942 handle. This moniker has led to inside jokes between he and his closest friends. In March of 2005, he officially 'handed over' the "Sceptor of the Pimpaliscious Voop" to Nicky McCloud on the "Outside The GreatFox" forum board, and has ''not'' gone by this nickname since then. People looking for him in online video games can now find him under the name, "Eat@ChinaKing" or "KitKaramak". <br />
However, the running joke of his old nickname has continued as seen in the photograph with the orange hat on the left. <br />
<br />
Ken Weaver also uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
<br />
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 comissioned artist MISTEROO, an [[anthropomorphic]] art student from New England to create his avater. <br />
<br />
He's currently a shift supervisor at [[Wikipedia:Blockbuster Video|Blockbuster Video]]. His 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]], 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. <br />
<br />
[[Image:L_ce47e479bd0baa7a87bdb8b06a36f7d9.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Kit Karamak is seen here with [[Hiromi Kitsune]] at the 2006 [[PandaGuy Picnic]] outside of Washington DC]]<br />
Kit left Richmond in April of 2005 to marry his long-time Internet romance from Knoxville, Tennessee. Unfortunatly, the marriage only lasted until September of 2005 and he was forced to leave the state for financial reasons. He found an apartment with a bandmate in Rockville, Maryland (just outside of Washington, D.C.) and lived there for one year. <br />
<br />
The band began to fall apart and he moved back to his parents house during the summer of 2006 with his eldest son, Richie. When autumn came, Richie went back to his mother for the school year and Kit moved back to Richmond with Hiromi Kitsune. He stayed there until January of 2007 when his job with Budget Car and Truck Rental dried up; the location became a franchise and he was transfered to the Richmond Airport for less hours and no ability to receive comission. <br />
<br />
Kit went back to Pasadena, Maryland with his parents to repair his finances. He has held a relationship with [[Kara Tweak]], on and off, since the end of 2005, with a hiatus from dating during most of 2006 but resumed communication with her at the end of the year and continued dating her, on and off, during 2007. They met as roleplayers in AOL text chats in Fall of 1995. He roleplayed as an anthro fox using the screen names LairdeFox, FoxOfFire and FoxOfFyre. The character's name was Fox Krenyenko, revived and reinvented for WhiteWolf VTM roleplay in 1999. The second generation of this character was not an anthropomorph. <br />
<br />
Kit remains a huge supporter of furry fiction writing. This includes both original ''and'' fan fiction work. He hopes to be somewhat recognized for his writing and often seeks advancement in his style and technique. He often applies what he's learned to the critique he offers to fellow writers. <br />
<br />
== Fan Fiction ==<br />
[[Image:1036300891_l.jpg|right|thumb|133px|Kit spends a lot of his time writing when he's not rocking out]]<br />
=== Starfox ===<br />
Kit is most popular for his Star Fox series, entitled ''Reflections''. These include, but are not limited to: ''Reflections of Krystal'', ''Reflections of the Future'', ''Reflections of a New Generation'', ''Reflections of Peppy'' and ''Reflections of Fox McCloud''. The last three are still in progress. He's also written other Star Fox fanfiction stories and enjoys writing original manuscripts.<br />
Kit began writing Star Fox fan fiction as a teenager around 1994 when he posted a story on the Corneria Mission Base page run by two Star Fox fans, one of whom went by the online moniker of Dr. Foxbert. At the time, Kit's two largest writing inspirations were Julia "VixenDreams" Glassman and Ted Pareotti.<br />
Kit remains very openminded and willing to take criticism about his prose. He enjoys discussing how he can better his style and technique with anyone willing to offer time, attention and advice for his projects.<br />
<br />
=== Sly Cooper === <br />
Kit also writes fan fictions about [[Sly Cooper]], another video game featuring an anthropomorphic character. He has two successful fan fictions: ''The Lament of Carmelita'' (finished in 2006) and ''Spy Cooper'' (currently in progress). He has also written several short stories in the Sly Cooper fandom. <br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
He has a [[Wikipedia:Castlevania|Castlevania]] story involving a furry character, titled ''The Claws of Fate''. <br />

<br />
== Beliefs & Lifestyle ==<br />
[[Image:598000313_l.jpg|right|thumb|174px]] According to his profiles on FanFiction.net, self posts and blogs from his [[MySpace]] website, his [[LiveJournal]] and even his [[Deviant A]]rt page, Kit claims he is open to discussion with openminded opinions on all types of religion, political views and even views on sexuality and other points of relative controversy. He states that he refuses to judge people based on any of these issues. He does not judge people based on their political or religious views. He's not judgemental of people based on their choices of Gender or Sex. Kit has stated that he has his ''own'' opinions on many different aspects of life but keeps these views to himself unless asked otherwise. <br />
<br />
Kit is strongly against racism. He's diplomatic by nature and is against most types of conflict, especially the squabbles and arguments between individuals.

<br />
He claims not to closely follow any one political party. However, he has stated that if he were ever to run for President, it would be for the Republican Party. <br />
<br />
Kit likes to eat anything sweet. Kit is NOT a vegan. He is a proud [[omnivore]] and doesn't exclude certain types of food based on personal statements. Kit has expressed in his Author's Notes on two occasions that if a pack of [[lion]]s were hungry, and followed him into a vineyard, they wouldn't pick the grapes over his leg. On a semi-related note, he likes grapes, despite Aesop's fables claiming they're out of reach.<br />

<br><br />
'''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 Baltimore, Maryland, Washington, DC, Great Lakes, Illinois, Richmond, Virginia and Knoxville, Tennessee at one point or another. He enjoys video games, watching movies, reading and socalising. 'Kit' is short for [[Kitsune]] but he is a normal one-tailed fox, not a kitsune.<br><br />
<br> [[Image:L_df494956dacd1785ea618f2e5516f472.jpg|left|thumb|112px|"Kit Da PimpFox" - proof that some jokes go too far.]]<br />
He garnished the joke-nickname of '''Kit Da PimpFox''' from his Battlefield 1942 handle. This moniker has led to inside jokes between he and his closest friends. In March of 2005, he officially 'handed over' the "Sceptor of the Pimpaliscious Voop" to Nicky McCloud on the "Outside The GreatFox" forum board, and has ''not'' gone by this nickname since then. People looking for him in online video games can now find him under the name, "Eat@ChinaKing" or "KitKaramak". <br />
However, the running joke of his old nickname has continued as seen in the photograph with the orange hat on the left. <br />
<br />
Ken Weaver also uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
<br />
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 comissioned artist MISTEROO, an [[anthropomorphic]] art student from New England to create his avater. <br />
<br />
He's currently a shift supervisor at [[Wikipedia:Blockbuster Video|Blockbuster Video]]. His 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]], 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. <br />
<br />
[[Image:L_ce47e479bd0baa7a87bdb8b06a36f7d9.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Kit Karamak is seen here with [[Hiromi Kitsune]] at the 2006 [[PandaGuy Picnic]] outside of Washington DC]]<br />
Kit left Richmond in April of 2005 to marry his long-time Internet romance from Knoxville, Tennessee. Unfortunatly, the marriage only lasted until September of 2005 and he was forced to leave the state for financial reasons. He found an apartment with a bandmate in Rockville, Maryland (just outside of Washington, D.C.) and lived there for one year. <br />
<br />
The band began to fall apart and he moved back to his parents house during the summer of 2006 with his eldest son, Richie. When autumn came, Richie went back to his mother for the school year and Kit moved back to Richmond with Hiromi Kitsune. He stayed there until January of 2007 when his job with Budget Car and Truck Rental dried up; the location became a franchise and he was transfered to the Richmond Airport for less hours and no ability to receive comission. <br />
<br />
Kit went back to Pasadena, Maryland with his parents to repair his finances. He has held a relationship with [[Kara Tweak]], on and off, since the end of 2005, with a hiatus from dating during most of 2006 but resumed communication with her at the end of the year and continued dating her, on and off, during 2007. They met as roleplayers in AOL text chats in Fall of 1995. He roleplayed as an anthro fox using the screen names LairdeFox, FoxOfFire and FoxOfFyre. The character's name was Fox Krenyenko, revived and reinvented for WhiteWolf VTM roleplay in 1999. The second generation of this character was not an anthropomorph. <br />
<br />
Kit remains a huge supporter of furry fiction writing. This includes both original ''and'' fan fiction work. He hopes to be somewhat recognized for his writing and often seeks advancement in his style and technique. He often applies what he's learned to the critique he offers to fellow writers. <br />

Kit began writing Star Fox fan fiction as a teenager around 1994 when he posted a story on the Corneria Mission Base page run by two Star Fox fans, one of whom went by the online moniker of Dr. Foxbert. At the time, Kit's two largest writing inspirations were Julia "VixenDreams" Glassman and Ted Pareotti.<br />
Kit remains very openminded and willing to take criticism about his prose. He enjoys discussing how he can better his style and technique with anyone willing to offer time, attention and advice for his projects.<br />
<br />
=== Sly Cooper === <br />
Kit also writes fan fictions about [[Sly Cooper]], another video game featuring an anthropomorphic character. He has two successful fan fictions: ''The Lament of Carmelita'' (finished in 2006) and ''Spy Cooper'' (currently in progress). He has also written several short stories in the Sly Cooper fandom. <br />

<br />
'''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 Baltimore, Maryland, Washington, DC, Great Lakes, Illinois, Richmond, Virginia and Knoxville, Tennessee at one point or another. He enjoys video games, watching movies, reading and socalising. 'Kit' is short for [[Kitsune]] but he is a normal one-tailed fox, not a kitsune.<br />
He garnished the joke-nickname of '''Kit Da PimpFox''' from his Battlefield 1942 handle. This moniker has led to inside jokes between he and his closest friends. In March of 2005, he officially 'handed over' the "Sceptor of the Pimpaliscious Voop" to Nicky McCloud on the "Outside The GreatFox" forum board, and has ''not'' gone by this nickname since then. People looking for him in online video games can now find him under the name, "Eat@ChinaKing" or "KitKaramak". <br />
However, the running joke of his old nickname has continued as seen in this recent photograph: [[Image:L_df494956dacd1785ea618f2e5516f472.jpg|right|thumb|112px|Kit Da PimpFox]]<br />
<br />
Ken Weaver also uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
<br />
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 comissioned artist MISTEROO, an [[anthropomorphic]] art student from New England to create his avater. <br />
<br />
He's currently a shift supervisor at [[Wikipedia:Blockbuster Video|Blockbuster Video]]. His 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]], 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. <br />
<br />
[[Image:L_ce47e479bd0baa7a87bdb8b06a36f7d9.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Kit Karamak is seen here with [[Hiromi Kitsune]] at the 2006 [[PandaGuy Picnic]] outside of Washington DC]]<br />
Kit left Richmond in April of 2005 to marry his long-time Internet romance from Knoxville, Tennessee. Unfortunatly, the marriage only lasted until September of 2005 and he was forced to leave the state for financial reasons. He found an apartment with a bandmate in Rockville, Maryland (just outside of Washington, D.C.) and lived there for one year. <br />
<br />
The band began to fall apart and he moved back to his parents house during the summer of 2006 with his eldest son, Richie. When autumn came, Richie went back to his mother for the school year and Kit moved back to Richmond with Hiromi Kitsune. He stayed there until January of 2007 when his job with Budget Car and Truck Rental dried up; the location became a franchise and he was transfered to the Richmond Airport for less hours and no ability to receive comission. <br />
<br />
Kit went back to Pasadena, Maryland with his parents to repair his finances. He has held a relationship with [[Kara Tweak]], on and off, since the end of 2005, with a hiatus from dating during most of 2006 but resumed communication with her at the end of the year and continued dating her, on and off, during 2007. They met as roleplayers in AOL text chats in Fall of 1995. He roleplayed as an anthro fox using the screen names LairdeFox, FoxOfFire and FoxOfFyre. The character's name was Fox Krenyenko, revived and reinvented for WhiteWolf VTM roleplay in 1999. The second generation of this character was not an anthropomorph. <br />
<br />
Kit remains a huge supporter of furry fiction writing. This includes both original ''and'' fan fiction work. He hopes to be somewhat recognized for his writing and often seeks advancement in his style and technique. He often applies what he's learned to the critique he offers to fellow writers. <br />

<br />
'''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 Baltimore, Maryland, Washington, DC, Great Lakes, Illinois, Richmond, Virginia and Knoxville, Tennessee at one point or another. He enjoys video games, watching movies, reading and socalising. 'Kit' is short for [[Kitsune]] but he is a normal one-tailed fox, not a kitsune.<br />
He garnished the joke-nickname of '''Kit Da PimpFox''' from his Battlefield 1942 handle. This moniker has led to inside jokes between he and his closest friends.<br />
<br />
Ken Weaver also uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
<br />
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 comissioned artist MISTEROO, an [[anthropomorphic]] art student from New England to create his avater. <br />
<br />
He's currently a shift-supervisor at Blockbuster Video. His curiosity in Anthropomorphic things began in 1993 when StarFox was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Cartoons, from Bucky O'Hare to Sonic, 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. <br />
<br />
Kit left Richmond in April of 2005 to marry his long-time Internet Romance from Knoxville, Tennessee. Unfortunatly, the marriage only lasted until September of 2005 and he was forced to leave the state for financial reasons. He found an apartment with a bandmate in Rockville, Maryland (just outside of Washington, D.C.) and lived there for one year. <br />
<br />
The band began to fall apart and he moved back to his parents house during the summer of 2006 with his eldest son, Richie. When autumn came, Richie went back to his mother for the school year and Kit moved back to Richmond with Hiromi Kitsune. He stayed there until January of 2007 when his job with Budget Car and Truck Rental dried up; the location became a franchise and he was transfered to the Richmond Airport for less hours and no ability to receive comission. <br />
<br />
Kit went back to Pasadena, Maryland with his parents to repair his finances. He has held a relationship with Kara Tweak, on and off, since the end of 2005, with a hiatus from dating during most of 2006 but resumed communication with her at the end of the year and continued dating her, on and off, during 2007. They met as roleplayers in AOL text chats in Fall of 1995. He roleplayed as an anthro fox using the screen names LairdeFox, FoxOfFire and FoxOfFyre. The character's name was Fox Krenyenko, revived and reinvented for WhiteWolf VTM roleplay in 1999. The second generation of this character was not an anthropomorph. <br />
<br />
Kit remains a huge supporter of Furry Fiction writing. This includes both original ''and'' fan fiction work. He hopes to be somewhat recognized for his writing and often seeks advancement in his Style and Technique. He often applies what he's learned to the critique he offers to fellow writers. <br />

[[Image:1036300891_l.jpg|right|thumb|133px|Kit spends a lot of his time writing when he's not rocking out]]<br />
=== Starfox ===<br />
Kit is most popular for his Star Fox series, entitled ''Reflections''. These include, but are not limited to: ''Reflections of Krystal'', ''Reflections of the Future'', ''Reflections of a New Generation'', ''Reflections of Peppy'' and ''Reflections of Fox McCloud''. The last three are still in progress. He's also written other Star Fox fanfiction stories and enjoys writing original manuscripts.<br />
Kit began writing Star Fox fan fiction as a teenager around 1994 when he posted a story on the Corneria Mission Base page run by two Star Fox fans, one of whom went by the online moniker of Dr. Foxbert. At the time, Kit's two largest writing inspirations were Julia "VixenDreams" Glassman and Ted Pareotti.<br />
Kit remains very openminded and willing to take criticism about his prose. He enjoys discussing how he can better his style and technique with anyone willing to offer time, attention and advice for his projects.<br />
<br />
=== Sly Cooper === <br />
Kit also writes fan fictions about [[Sly Cooper]], another video game featuring an anthropomorphic character. He has two successful fan fictions: ''The Lament of Carmelita'' (finished in 2006) and ''Spy Cooper'' (currently in progress). He has also written several short stories in the Sly Cooper fandom. <br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
He has a [[Wikipedia:Castlevania|Castlevania]] story involving a furry character, titled ''The Claws of Fate''. <br />
<br />

He states that he refuses to judge people based on any of these issues. He does not judge people based on their political or religious views.

<br />
He was born May 1st, 1980 and has lived in Baltimore, Maryland, Washington, DC, Great Lakes, Illinois, Richmond, Virginia and Knoxville, Tennessee at one point or another. He enjoys video games, watching movies, reading and socalising so feel free to say hello to him at any time!<br />

<br />
== A Final Tidbit ==<br />
Yes, he's a fox. One tailed, normal and non-magical... 'Kit' is short for Kitsune but he isn't obsessed with the Kitsune Lore.<br><br />
He garnished the joke-nickname of Kit Da PimpFox from his Battlefield 1942 handle. This moniker has led to inside jokes between he and his closest friends. Kit, however, has long-since handed over his Pimping Cane, the Royal ruling septor of Pimpiliciousness to Nicky McCloud.<br />

Kit can currently be contacted via Email: [mailto:rockstartravesty@aol.com rockstartravesty@aol.com] or [mailto:furrywriter@yahoo.com furrywriter@yahoo.com], although he rarely checks his Yahoo mail.<br />
<br><br />
He can also be found on Furcadia and Second Life from time to time, but these moments are rare in comparison to how often he visits the FanFiction.net website.<br />

Kit plays the guitar, bass and drums. Some pictures of his on-stage performances can be found throughout the internet. Some may be added here in the near future.<br />
<br />
== Beliefs & Lifestyle ==<br />
<br />
According to his profiles on FanFiction.net, self posts and blogs from his MySpace website, his LiveJournal and even his Deviant Art page, Kit claims he is open to discussion with openminded opinions on all types of religion, political views and even views on sexuality and other points of relative controversy. He states that he refuses to judge people based on any of these issues. He does not judge people based on their political or religious views. He's not judgemental of people based on their choices of Gender or Sex. Kit has stated that he has his ''own'' opinions on many different aspects of life but keeps these views to himself unless asked otherwise. <br />
<br />
Kit is strongly against racisim. He's diplomatic by nature and is against most types of conflict, especially the squabbles and arguments between individuals. He believes in working things out and trying to be friends with everyone and has stated this repeatedly in his author's notes and on forum boards throughout the Internet.<br />
<br />
He claims not to closely follow any one political party. However, he has stated that if he were ever to run for President, it would be for the Republican Party. <br />
<br />
Kit likes to eat anything sweet. Kit is NOT a vegan. He is a proud omnivore and doesn't exclude certain types of food based on personal statements. Kit has expressed in his Author's Notes on two occasions that if a pack of lions were hungry, and followed him into a vineyard, they wouldn't pick the grapes over his leg. On a semi-related note, he likes grapes, despite AESOP's fables claiming they're out of reach.<br />

He was born May 1st, 1980 and has lived in Baltimore, Maryland, Washington, DC, Great Lakes, Illinois, Richmond, Virginia and Knoxville, Tennessee at one point or another. He enjoys video games, watching movies, reading and socalising so feel free to say hello to him at any time!<br />

Yes, he's a fox. One tailed, normal and non-magical... 'Kit' is short for Kitsune but he isn't obsessed with the Kitsune Lore.<br><br />
He garnished the joke-nickname of Kit Da PimpFox from his Battlefield 1942 handle. This moniker has led to inside jokes between he and his closest friends. Kit, however, has long-since handed over his Pimping Cane, the Royal ruling septor of Pimpiliciousness to Nicky McCloud.<br />

<br />
'''Kit Karamak''', aka '''Ken Weaver''', is a furry writer whose fursona is a red fox. He began writing [[Star Fox]] fan fiction as a teenager around 1994 when he posted a story on the Corneria Mission Base page run by two Star Fox fans, one of whom went by the online moniker of Dr. Foxbert. At the time, Kit's two largest writing inspirations were Julia "VixenDreams" Glassman and Ted Pareotti.<br />
<br />
Ken Weaver also uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
<br />
Kit Karamak was an original character he used in some of his less-popular StarFox stories, which can be found on the FanFiction.Net website. Kit comissioned artist MISTEROO, an Anthropomorphic art student from New England to create his avater. <br />

=== Starfox ===<br />
Kit is most popular for his StarFox series, entitled "REFLECTIONS". These include, but are not limited to: Reflections of Krystal, Reflections of the Future, Reflections of a New Generation, Reflections of Peppy and Reflections of Fox McCloud. The last three are still in progress. He's also written other StarFox fanfiction stories and enjoys writing original manuscripts. He's very openminded and willing to take critisism about his prose. He enjoys discussing how he can better his style and technique with anyone willing to offer time, attention and advice for his projects. <br><br />
<br />

Kit plays the guitar, bass and drums. Some pictures of his on-stage performances can be found throughout the internet. Some may be added here in the near future.<br />
<br />
== Beliefs & Lifestyle ==<br />
<br />
According to his profiles on FanFiction.net, self posts and blogs from his MySpace website, his LiveJournal and even his Deviant Art page, Kit claims he is open to discussion with openminded opinions on all types of religion, political views and even views on sexuality and other points of relative controversy. He states that he refuses to judge people based on any of these issues. He does not judge people based on their political or religious views. He's not judgemental of people based on their choices of Gender or Sex. Kit often states that has his own opinions on every facit, division and subdivision in life but keeps these views to himself unless asked otherwise. <br />
<br />
Kit is strongly against racisim. He's diplomatic in nature and is against most types of conflict, especially the squabbles and arguments between individuals. He believes in working things out and trying to be friends with everyone and has stated this repeatedly in his author's notes and on forum boards throughout the Internet.<br />
<br />
He claims not to closely follow any one political party. However, he has stated that if he were ever to run for President, it would be for the Republican Party. <br />
<br />
Kit likes to eat anything sweet. Kit is NOT a vegan. He is a proud omnivore and doesn't exclude certain types of food based on personal statements. Kit has expressed in his Author's Notes on two occasions that if a pack of lions were hungry, and followed him into a vineyard, they wouldn't pick the grapes over his leg. On a semi-related note, he likes grapes, despite AESOP's fables claiming they're out of reach.<br />

Yes, he's a fox. One tailed, normal and non-magical... 'Kit' is short for Kitsune but he isn't obsessed with the Kitsune Lore.<br><br />
He garnished the joke-nickname of Kit Da PimpFox from his Battlefield 1942 handle. This moniker has led to inside jokes between he and his closest friends. Kit, however, has long-since handed over his Pimping Cane, the Royal ruling septor of Pimpiliciousness to Nicky McCloud.<br />

<br />
'''Kit Karamak''', aka '''Ken Weaver''', is a furry writer whose fursona is a red fox. He began writing [[Star Fox]] fan fiction as a teenager around 1994 when he posted a story on the Corneria Mission Base page run by two Star Fox fans, one of whom went by the online moniker of Dr. Foxbert. At the time, Kit's two largest writing inspirations were Julia "VixenDreams" Glassman and Ted Pareotti.<br />
<br />
Ken Weaver also uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
<br />
Kit Karamak was an original character he used in some of his less-popular StarFox stories, which can be found on the FanFiction.Net website. Kit comissioned artist MISTEROO, an Anthropomorphic art student from New England to create his avater. <br />

Kit is most popular for his StarFox series, entitled "REFLECTIONS". These include, but are not limited to: Reflections of Krystal, Reflections of the Future, Reflections of a New Generation, Reflections of Peppy and Reflections of Fox McCloud. The last three are still in progress. He's also written other StarFox fanfiction stories and enjoys writing original manuscripts. He's very openminded and willing to take critisism about his prose. He enjoys discussing how he can better his style and technique with anyone willing to offer time, attention and advice for his projects. <br><br />

He states that he refuses to judge people based on any of these issues. He does not judge people based on their political or religious views. He's not judgemental of people based on their choices of Gender or Sex. Kit often states that has his own opinions on every facit, division and subdivision in life but keeps these views to himself unless asked otherwise. <br />
<br />
Kit is strongly against racisim. He's diplomatic in nature and is against most types of conflict, especially the squabbles and arguments between individuals. He believes in working things out and trying to be friends with everyone and has stated this repeatedly in his author's notes and on forum boards throughout the Internet.<br />
<br />
He claims not to closely follow any one political party. However, he has stated that if he were ever to run for President, it would be for the Republican Party. <br />
<br />
Kit likes to eat anything sweet. Kit is NOT a vegan. He is a proud omnivore and doesn't exclude certain types of food based on personal statements. Kit has expressed in his Author's Notes on two occasions that if a pack of lions were hungry, and followed him into a vineyard, they wouldn't pick the grapes over his leg. On a semi-related note, he likes grapes, despite AESOP's fables claiming they're out of reach.<br />

'''Kit Karamak''', aka '''Ken Weaver''', is a furry writer whose fursona is a red fox. He began writing [[Star Fox]] fan fiction as a teenager around 1994 when he posted a story on the Corneria Mission Base page run by two Star Fox fans, one of whom went by the online moniker of Dr. Foxbert. At the time, Kit's two largest writing inspirations were Julia "VixenDreams" Glassman and Ted Pareotti.<br />
<br />
Ken Weaver also uses the pen name "Kit-Karamak" (spelled with a hyphen), on the websites www.FanFiction.net, www.Fanstory.com, www.AdultFanFiction.com and www.FictionPress.com. He sometimes uses the moniker "KitWriter" as a blogging name for various online forums.<br />
