{{Eurofurence}}
'''Eurofurence''' (commonly abbreviated as '''EF''') is the largest [[furry convention|furry convention]] outside the United States and currently ranks as the [[List_of_in-person_furry_conventions_by_attendance|7th largest globally]]. Established in 1995, it holds the distinction of being the longest-running furry convention.

Traditionally hosted in summer, Eurofurence takes place mid-September at the Congress Center Hamburg ([[wikipedia:Congress Center Hamburg|CCH]]). Previous editions have been held in various locations across Germany and occasionally in other countries such as Sweden, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. Noteworthy venues include the [[Ringberg Hotel]] in Suhl (Thuringia), the Maritim Hotel in Magdeburg (Saxony-Anhalt), and the Estrel Hotel in Berlin, which is Germany's largest hotel.

== Programming ==

Since EF12, Eurofurence has run for five days from Wednesday to Sunday, with the exception of EF27, which started on a Sunday. Early arrival and late departure options have been offered in the past, but since changing the location to the CCH Hamburg, this option is not available from the convention itself anymore. Nevertheless, attendees can extend their stays in Hamburg for another night or two on their own behalf. Since 2019, the Summerboat tour has been offered to attendees on the day before the official start of the convention.

There are several main events held each year, often on the same day of the week and at the same time. Popular events on the ''Theater Stage'' include the '''Opening Ceremony''', '''Closing Ceremony''', [[Uncle Kage's Story Hour]], the '''Furry Tails Theatre''', the '''Charity Concert''' by [[Fox Amoore]] or [[Foxes and Peppers]] (depending on [[Pepper Coyote|Pepper Coyote's]] availability), and the [[DoPE|Pawpet Show]]. The Pawpet Show is a furry hand and rod puppet performance produced and performed by a mixed crew of Eurofurence staff and attendees. It is written as a feature-length stage show, mixing comedy and drama, with music, added sound effects, special effects, and more recently, also prerecorded video footage inserted between the scenes.

On the ''Dance Stage'', besides a nightly dance with varying DJs, [[Paws on Fire]], which is a [[fursuit]] dance battle style contest also known as [[Floor Wars]] at other furry conventions, several '''fursuit game shows''', and the '''Big Blue Dance''' are held. The Big Blue Dance follows the Pawpet Show and is the last event of the convention, conducted by [[BigBlueFox]] and other DJs, and often continues throughout the night. A big effort is put into light and sound buildup and effects, live mixed background animations, and other atmospheric effects by the Stage crew.

Until the relocation to Hamburg, on the day following the Closing Ceremony of the convention, a [[Dead Dog Party]] was held for those who wanted to relax and wind down while preventing [[post-con depression]].

A '''Group Photo''' of all those attending, as well as a '''Fursuit Group Photo''', is taken during the official convention days. In ancient times, the group photos have been taken on Sunday morning, but they were moved to an earlier weekday, as it was not an ideal time for many attendees who were not able to get out of bed early after the Big Blue Dance the previous night or did want to depart early in the morning.

== Art and merchandise ==

The '''Dealers' Den''' is available from the second to fourth day of the convention as a curated space for attendees to sell merchandise of varying sorts. Dealers must have mandatory prior registration for Eurofurence (the event) and additional registration for the Dealers’ Den. Currently, there is also an "After Dark" (AD) Dealers' Den section available.

The '''Art Show''' is a curated art exhibition where attendees can browse artwork and place bids on pieces they would like to buy. Until EF26 (2022), the '''Art Auction''', which was conducted by [[Uncle Kage]], was held after the closing of the Art Show to sell some of the pieces with higher demand to the highest bidders in a live show. After moving to Hamburg in 2023, the Art Auction was omitted due to time constraints.

== Fursuiting ==

There are several events and facilities available for [[fursuiter|fursuiters]]. A large '''Fursuit Lounge''' is available exclusively for fursuiters to relax and cool down in a non-public environment. The lounge provides fans and other cooling equipment, as well as facilities to dry fursuits. Throughout the convention, there is also an official [http://www.eurofurence.org/photo/ fursuit photoshoot], where fursuiters can have professional pictures taken of their suits.

The '''Fursuit Parade''', open to both fursuiters and non-fursuiters, is a highlight of the convention. With fursuit attendance steadily rising to over 40% of overall attendees in recent years, the parade is now held entirely outdoors. In the final years of the convention in Berlin, the Fursuit Parade was not held due to space constraints around the Estrel hotel.

== EF Prime ==
[[Image:Efprimelogo2008.jpg|right|250px|thumb|EF Prime Logo, 2008]]
'''EF Prime''' is a TV channel that broadcasts information and entertainment during Eurofurence on several internal streams. It was launched in 2007 during EF13 and provides information about EF-related events and facilities. In addition, it airs furry-related shorts and shows, as well as popular clips popular among the fandom. A live Twitter/X feed is displayed throughout the broadcast, featuring tweets directed at @EF_prime, programming changes, and announcements.

During EF17, EF Prime introduced its own mascot, a computer-generated wolf named [[Spikey Wolf]]. Spikey was introduced in a video parody of [http://vimeo.com/27369671 Eminem's "My Name Is"] and is voiced by [[Shay]]. Spikey highlights the daily timetable on EF Prime and provides numerous quotes during live events. [[BigBlueFox]] (program schedule, content management, on-air design) and [[Athesis]] (playout and Twitter software) are responsible for EF Prime.

== Daily Eurofurence ==

The [[Daily Eurofurence]] is a newspaper published during Eurofurence, reporting on all kinds of events from the prior day. The newspaper consists of various articles, some cartoons, an occasional crossword puzzle, and the updated timetable for the convention.

==Organization==
[[Eurofurence 1]] was first organized in 1995 by [[Tes-Tui-H'ar]] and [[unci]], neither of whom are involved with running the convention as of today. In 1997, [[Cheetah (musician)|Sven "Cheetah" Tegethoff]], took over as [[convention chairman]] of [[Eurofurence 3]] and has chaired nearly every Eurofurence since then. [[Eurofurence 4]] was organized and financed by [[Samarindus]], who found a location for the 1998 convention in the [[wikipedia:Netherlands|Netherlands]] with the help of [[Naros]].

In 1998, [[Eurofurence e.V.]] was registered as a social organization in [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] to operate the convention annually from [[Eurofurence 5]] in 1999 to the present day. However, it is not limited to any specific location, and has many international members among its staff and members. Since 2009, Eurofurence e.V. has their own flags, banners and posters with the logo.

'''The Raccoon's Den''' is a [[furry]]-themed docudramedy web series on [[YouTube]] that is produced and hosted by [[Bandit the Raccoon|Bandit]], with Switch, Drake, Abbey and Jackie as secondary cast members.

==History==
The channel was created on July 17th in 2009 and was inactive until November 29th, 2009. The show reached its fourth season finale on May 26, 2013 and was on hiatus until September 22, when they released their first short film, "The Raccoon's Den: Another Goddamn Furry Movie". During season six, the channel pulled seasons one through three from public view (along with all other material posted during that timeframe, with the exception of "TAKEOVER FC! 2")<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6023216/ Seasons one through three PULLED (Journal)] Retrieved September 19, 2014.</ref>. On October 16th, the channel launched their own podcast called "Pawsome!", which was advertised to feature previous cast members such as Byrds, Daniel, Skiddy and Kai. On June 11th (ending their sixth season), the show went back on hiatus<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6807054/ Post-season six hiatus announcement (Journal).] Retrieved June 16, 2015.</ref> for the rest of the year, they would later resurface and renew the series for a seventh season on January 5th, 2016<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGMLNLMdOzQ Season seven premiere (episode 88)] Retrieved January 21, 2016.</ref> under partnership with [http://www.channelfrederatornetwork.com Channel Frederator Network] and [http://www.facebook.com/worldoffurries World of Furries], assisting in its production and advertising alongside Catalogue Gamma, YouTube and [[FurAffinity]].

Following a series format (Seasons and Episodes), most of the early episodes consisted of vlogging and featuring furry themed events. Since season two, most of the episodes have been taking place at [[The Prancing Skiltaire]]. Series specials of furry conventions and short skits performed by various members of the cast have also been featured on the web show. An artist spotlight (exclusive to FurAffinity artists and albums) was once featured on their website every week, but was later replaced with downloads of all soundtracks from their convention episodes<ref>[https://theraccoonsden.bandcamp.com Soundtrack download page for convention episodes.] Retrieved June 16, 2015.</ref>. Upon the seventh season premiere, the website for the series was redesigned for a refreshed appearance, notable changes including open submission of answers and questions to the "Drake's Corner" segment, applications to appear on the "Pawsome!" podcast, full display of every cast member to appear on the series and the ability to contact each one personally through the contact page. Additionally, a Tumblr account for the series has been created to give updates on episodes and cast members and production credits for the series are also viewable to the general public.

The series is acknowledged for its personal approach towards the fandom by letting various convention attendants give feedback on their experiences, as well as engaging the community at local meets by asking them for their personal opinions on furry and non-furry related topics in most episodes. It is also the first to take on the format of a [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=docudramedy docudramedy] series, displaying true-life drama situations through reenactments and seamlessly switching back to the personal perspective sense of a documentary with comic relief. The series received its first article by [http://www.dogpatch.press Dogpatch Press] on June 14th, 2016, featuring an interview with Bandit on the concept of the series, aspects of its history and plans for the future<ref>[http://dogpatch.press/2016/06/14/the-raccoons-den/ First article on the series by Dogpatch Press.] Retrieved June 14, 2016.</ref>.

==Season 7 format==
Upon the renewal of the series for a seventh season, the format of the show was pitched to be changed from the casual showcasing of events and group activities to incorporating the elements of a drama series within most episodes to create a more solid storyline. It was then revealed on Tumblr that the series was a documentary of the fandom all along, but due to the general negative reaction most furries have on them, it was kept secret until recently<ref>[http://trdmedia.tumblr.com/post/136718967759/trd-1 Seventh season explanation on Tumblr.] Retrieved January 21, 2016.</ref>. The storyline of the series would be mainly focused on the cast members, beginning with Bandit suffering from depression after a bad breakup and Flash being homeless despite his recent record deal in the previous year. A few episodes later, three new cast members were introduced (Jackie, Switch and Abbey)<ref>[http://trdmedia.tumblr.com/post/141471390579/trdnews-1 New cast members introduced in seventh season.] Retrieved June 14, 2016.</ref>.

*'''Bandit (Chris J.)'''
Bandit is the creator, host, editor and graphic designer of the show. Initially going solo when the series started, he would later form a duo when he began working with Byrds in season two. By season four, Bandit had accumulated a team of five cast members and has kept the concept throughout the rest of the series. In attempt to incorporate his musical work into the series, Bandit produced the web show's opening theme song, which has been used since season four (with its full version being released as a single upon the web show's fifth anniversary)<ref>[https://bandittheraccoon.bandcamp.com/track/the-raccoons-den-opening-theme-single Opening theme released as a single to celebrate the web show's fifth anniversary.] Retrieved June 16, 2015.</ref>. Six months after Califur XI, it is shown that he stopped making videos due to his depression from a bad breakup, resulting in his friends giving him encouragement to keep going. Though he briefly struggles to bring the group back together for his project, he manages to succeed with new people later on. In his personal intro, he reveals he is a documentarian on the fandom, in hopes to show the public eye that the truth of the furry fandom is not necessarily what many others mistake it for<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=az8izQV_i_Y#t=0 Bandit's in-character intro.] Retrieved June 14, 2016.</ref>.

== DeviantArt and furry ==

Since August 2006, DeviantArt has a top-level [[anthropomorphic]] category, potentially exposing a greater proportion of the DeviantArt audience to anthropomorphic art. Many professional [[anthro artist]]s submit their work here as well as amateurs.

Various "clubs" have been formed to connect the furry community on DeviantArt, similar to communities on [[LiveJournal]]. A handful of anthro-oriented chat rooms have also formed since August 2004.{{fact}}

However, despite a big presence of [[anthro art]] on DeviantArt, the growth of anthro and furry users (and their influence) is mediocre.{{fact}} The administrators are impartial towards furries.{{fact}} The user agreement form{{cn}} disallowing [[troll]]ing is strictly enforced, which has had a inadvertent benefit{{clarify}} for the [[furry community]] on DeviantArt greatly.{{fact}}

== Mascot ==

'''Fella''', a small anthropomorphic [[W:Robot|robotic]] [[cat]] [[character]], is the official DeviantArt [[mascot]].

In 2014, DeviantArt released a mobile app for Android use. It can be used for posting art and searching for it as well.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omXg6-SdfEE Video on DeviantArt Mobile App] Retrieved April 10, 2019</ref>

{{Eurofurence}}
'''Eurofurence''' (commonly also '''EF'''), is a European [[furry convention]], the largest outside the United States and the longest-running furry convention in the world. It was founded in 1995, and Eurofurence
24 in Berlin, Germany had 2911 attendees.

It is typically held in summer and located in various places of Germany, but it has seen other countries as well, notably Sweden, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Eurofurence 12 was held at the same venue as the Eurofurence 11, and Eurofurence 15 marked a return to the [[Ringberg Hotel]] in Suhl, Thuringia for the third and final year in succession. Since Eurofurence 16 in 2010, the convention has been held at the Maritim Hotel in Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. In 2014, Eurofurence returned to Berlin, taking place at the Estrel Hotel, the largest hotel in Germany.

== Programming ==
Since Eurofurence 12, Eurofurence has run five days from Wednesday to Sunday. Early arrival and late departure options are offered for those who want to stay another night or two. There are several main events that are held every year, often on the same day and time each year. Popular main stage events are the Opening Ceremony, '''[[Uncle Kage's Story Hour]]''', the fursuit dance contest '''[[Enter the Arena]]''', a '''fursuit game show''', a '''concert''' by [[Fox Amoore]] or [[Foxes and Peppers]] (depending on [[Pepper Coyote|Pepper Coyote's]] availability) and the '''[[DoPE|pawpet show]]'''. The pawpet show is a furry hand and rod puppet performance, produced and performed by a mixed crew of Eurofurence staff and attendees. It is written as a feature-length stage show, mixing comedy and drama, with music, added sound effects, special effects and more recently also prerecorded video footage inserted between the scenes. The '''Big Blue Dance''' follows the pawpet show and is the last event of the convention. It is a dance event held in the main dance hall by [[BigBlueFox]] and other DJs, and often continues throughout the night. Light effects, live mixed background animations and other atmospheric effects are also present.

On the final (departure) day of the convention, a '''[[Dead Dog Party]]''' is held for those who want to relax and wind down while preventing [[post-con depression]]. In earlier years, a '''group photo''' of all those attending the convention was taken on Sunday morning. However, it was moved to an earlier day as many congoers were not able to get out of bed so early after the Big Blue Dance the previous night. It also posed problems for people wanting to depart early in the morning, who had to miss the photo.

=== Art and merchandise ===

For the duration of the con, the '''dealer's den''' is available for attendees to sell merchandise of varying sorts. Since Eurofurence 17, two dealer's dens have been available, as the single one could no longer handle the demand.

There is also an '''art show''', where attendees can look around for art and make bids for pieces they would like. About half-way through the convention, the art show is closed and the '''art auction''' is held to sell the pieces to the highest bidders. The auction is conducted by [[Uncle Kage]].

=== Fursuiting ===

There are several events and other facilities for [[fursuiter]]s. There is always a '''headless lounge''' available, which is an area that only fursuiters can enter where they can freely un-suit and relax. The lounge is normally full of fans and other cooling equipment to help the fursuiters cool off. During most of the convention there is also a official [http://www.eurofurence.org/photo/ '''fursuit photoshoot'''], where fursuiters can have pictures of their fursuits taken by a team of professional photographers.

Besides '''Enter the Arena''', a second dance contest '''[[Paws on Fire]]''' has been established. It is a dance battle style contest also known as [[Floor Wars]] at other furry conventions and takes place on the second (or club) stage.

Finally, a '''fursuit group photo''' is traditionally taken on Saturday, followed by the '''fursuit parade''' which fursuiters and non-fursuiters alike are invited to participate in. Since fursuit attendance has been steadily rising over the years (reaching 400 in 2011), the parade is now held entirely outside, and in Eurofurence 17 the parade took place in the city streets of Magdeburg.

=== EF Prime ===
[[Image:Efprimelogo2008.jpg|right|250px|thumb|EF Prime Logo, 2008]]
'''EF Prime''' is a tv channel which broadcasts an information and entertainment during Eurofurence on the internal hotel TV system. It launched in 2007 during EF 13, and airs information about EF-related events and hotel facilities. In between, it shows furry and furry-related shorts, clips and shows as well as clips that aren't furry related, yet popular among the fandom.
A live twitter feed is being shown during the whole time where tweets, directed at @EF_prime, being shown as well as changes in programming and announcements.

At EF 17, EF Prime got its own mascot, a computer generated wolf named [[Spikey Wolf]]. He was introduced in a video parody of Eminem's "My name is"[http://vimeo.com/27369671] and is voiced by [[Shay]]. Spikey highlighted the days timetable on EF Prime on daily base and also provided in numerous quotes during live events.

Responsible for EF Prime are:
* [[BigBlueFox]] (program schedule, content management, on-air design)
* [[Athesis]] (playout and twitter software)

=== Daily Eurofurence ===
The '''[[Daily Eurofurence]]''' is a newspaper published during Eurofurence, reporting all kinds of events from the prior day. The 'newspaper' consists of various articles, some cartoons, an occasional cross-word puzzle and the updated timetable for the convention.

==Organization==
[[Eurofurence 1]] was first organized in 1995 by [[Tes-Tui-H'ar]] and [[unci]], neither of whom are now involved with running the convention. In 1997, [[Cheetah (musician)|Sven "Cheetah" Tegethoff]], took over as [[convention chairman]] of [[Eurofurence 3]] and has chaired nearly every Eurofurence since then. [[Eurofurence 4]] was organized and financed by [[Samarindus]], who found a location for the 1998 convention in the [[wikipedia:Netherlands|Netherlands]] with the help of [[Naros]].

Later in 1998, [[Eurofurence e.V.]] was registered as a social organization in [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] to operate the convention annually from [[Eurofurence 5]] in 1999 to the present day. However, it is not limited to any specific location, and has many international members among its staff and members. Since 2009, Eurofurence e.V. has their own flags, banners and posters with the logo.

=== Current staff ===

For Eurofurence 25 (2019), the core members of convention staff, and their areas of responsibility, are as follows:

* [[Cheetah_(musician)|Cheetah]] — Chairman
* [[Richard Nightfox|Nightfox]] — Vice Chairman, Consite Relations

* "The past week has been a wild ride for the reg team - during first 6 days, we have received nothing short of 1150 registration requests - which once again marks a new record in EF history." — [[Cheetah]], pre-EF18 (2012)

Uncle Kage's Story Hour

2023-09-15T23:17:49Z

O'wolf:

[[Image:Uksh ef 10.jpg|right|thumb|Story hour at [[Eurofurence 10]]]]
'''Uncle Kage's Story Hour''' is a stand up performance that is given by [[Uncle Kage|Dr. Samuel "Uncle Kage" Conway]] at [[Anthrocon]] and many other [[convention]]s. It usually lasts between an hour and an hour and a half.

== Origin ==

[[Uncle Kage]]'s career as a storyteller began at [[ConFurence]] in 1994 when he was idly entertaining some friends with a tale in the lobby of the hotel. Passersby began to congregate to listen, and by the time he finished he had attracted a sizeable crowd. It was then that artist [[Colin Crisanti]] playfully tugged on "Kagemushi's" sleeve and said, "Tell us another story, Uncle Kage!"

The moniker stuck, and the following year Uncle Kage was invited back to tell stories as an official event. For the next few years his Story Hours were held in hotel lobbies for want of large enough rooms, but in recent years he has performed on stage in large ballrooms for audiences as large as 1500 people.

== Conventions ==

The various [[furry]], [[science fiction]], and [[fantasy]] cons that have featured Uncle Kage's Story Hour include:
* [[Anthrocon]] - 1997-2011 (and ongoing)
* [[ConClave]] - 2005, 2006, 2007

* [[Feral!]] - 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006
* [[Furry Spring Break]] - 2001
* [[Further Confusion]] - 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003

O'wolf: Update to make it less outdated.

{{unref}}
'''DoPE''' (the '''Department of Pawpetry Entertainment'''), is the crew behind the [[pawpet]] show at [[Eurofurence]]. The show is also known as the '''LSD Show''', as it was originally set at [[Lionel C. Scruffycat|Lionel Scritchie's]] Dormitory. Despite the drug-refering puns of the acronyms, the only drugs involved in making the show are pure and utter nonsense along with a great love for puppetry.

== History ==

The initiative for the show came from [[Fairlight]], who took his lion pawpet to [[ConFurence 11]] and met [[TeddyRuxpin]] of [[PawPets West]], who was organizing the pawpet events at the convention. Fairlight immediately became addicted to puppeteering and organized a short music parody show for [[Eurofurence_6|Eurofurence 6]]. Additional puppeteers on that show were [[Lynard]], [[Eisfuchs]] and [[Jaryic]]. The LSD Show became one of the main events of the following Eurofurences.

Since [[Eurofurence_8|Eurofurence 8]] the stories have been written by [[Cheetah_(musician)|Cheetah]] and [[Eisfuchs]]. Cheetah is also the director and sound effect creator of the show.

The following 10 years after the initial parody show, the main pawpeteers and their roles were:

* Eisfuchs (performer and voice of [[Lori]] the naïve [[vixen]])
* Fairlight (performer and voice of [[Poke]] the big-mouthed and perverted [[ferret]])
* Lynard (voice and performer of [[Lionel C. Scruffycat]] the rational [[Lion (species)|lion]])
* [[TaniDaReal]] (voice and performer of [[Mika]] the tough [[Snow Leopard]]ess) (joined at [[Eurofurence_9|Eurofurence 9]]).

Starting with [[Eurofurence_17|Eurofurence 17]], the team decided that the larger stage and audience demanded a change of the show format. The classic hand puppets were retired and new, custom built rod puppets were designed and built, which were operated by at least two puppeteers per puppet. This also meant to part with the old cast of characters in favor of story driven characters on a per-show basis. From [[Eurofurence_19|Eurofurence 19]] on, the score and songs have been written and arranged by [[Fox Amoore]], performed by himself and additional musicians.

Additional long-time puppeteers are [[Curry Qíulóng]], [[Furvan]], [[Kayjay]], [[o'wolf]], [[Pan Hesekiel Shiroi]], [[Tigerseye]], [[Zefiro]], and many more, listed on the respective show sub pages below. The backdrops and set elements were originally designed by [[TaniDaReal]] and are created by a dedicated team nowadays. Props usually get designed and built by various crew members. The puppet stage manager and assistant director is [[Reesa]], who was joined by Zefiro and then [[Haku Ginko]] in the later years. Sound and recordings engineer is [[Jaryic]], lights initially were operated and designed by [[Richard Nightfox|Nightfox]], which changed several times in the later years. Puppets are built mostly by [[Tioh]], with additional puppets built by crew members and puppet builders such as [[Lance Ikegawa]] or [[Henrieke]]. The crew also includes the [[Eurofurence]] video team under direction of [[BigBlueFox]] as well as a second video unit led by [[Suran]]. Additional helpers are needed for scene-shifting, curtain operation, projection and lighting. The show at [[Eurofurence_11|Eurofurence 11]] had more than twenty people on staff, in the meantime this number rose to over eighty.

Among the special guests on the LSD Show were [[Lisanne Norman]], [[Chairo]], [[Uncle Kage]] and [[Heather Alexander]].

O'wolf: Undo revision 566518 by 2603:7081:4002:DB3D:39BD:BA5E:7860:19A7 (talk): vandalism

== Editing Protection ==
It's ironic to see that a page inviting users to 'add something here' is protected from editing. [[User:Almafeta|Almafeta]] 12:19, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Y'know, I was noticing the same thing. Given that it appears that it was initially protected after the vandalism on 15 Aug and those problems are long past, I'm going to go ahead and unprotect it. --[[User:DuncanDaHusky|Duncan da Husky]] 12:30, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)
> Not anymore. It seems to be unlocked as of the move. As well, my account was dropped, which is never, ever fun. --[[User:Copb.phoenix|Sar'ras Fae'lynn]] 04:45, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
:Sorry - we tried to get most of them, but if you registered in the last year and didn't make any edits, we may have missed you. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 04:48, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
::It's fine Reaper - I'm used to places dropping all the time because of inactivity, and the latest contribution would have been more than four months ago. Granted, not a long time in the grand scheme of things, but long in terms of net. --[[User:Copb.phoenix|Sar'ras Fae'lynn]] 04:53, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, that's odd - if you've made ''any'' edits it should have required you to login. Are you sure you used that username? Check the history of the articles you edited. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 04:56, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
::::Same one I reregistered for, GreenReaper. User name is copb.phoenix; Sar'ras is my fursona's name. After rotating my passwords, and making sure I didn't use an alt, I've come to the conclusion that there's a failure somewhere in between. That's fine - nothing of personal value was lost, and I make contributions according to standards (mostly spell/grammar structure checking). BTW: Added a heading to this - why not? --[[User:Copb.phoenix|Sar'ras Fae'lynn]] 05:01, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

==Kemono picture==
(This seems to be the WikiFur version of Wikipedia:Tavern, so...)

I'm about to write an article on [[Kemono]], and I'm looking for a particular picture. It's a painting from the 13th century, and it depicts anthropomorphic female foxes, wolves (?), and a third species, as a high-class family out in the country. It looked like a watercolor, and I'm pretty sure it's entered the public domain by now. Does anyone know where a high-quality scan of this painting is? [[User:Almafeta|Almafeta]] 13:38, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:I haven't yet found the scan you're looking for, but what you describe sounds like Toba Sojo's ''Choujuugiga'' ("Animal Scrolls"), [http://www.sequentialtart.com/archive/aug01/ao_0801_3.shtml depicted here] (scroll halfway down the page). The picture is small, but is that what you're looking for? --[[User:DuncanDaHusky|Duncan da Husky]] 13:50, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Ah. [http://folk.uio.no/rajahr/skd_og_anime-prosjekt/prosjekt/gfx/Choujuugiga_(animal_scrolls).jpg Here's a bigger version].
::No... totally different art style. But that could go in the Kemono article, too... [[User:Almafeta|Almafeta]] 13:55, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Neat picture. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 02:48, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Just so you guys know, you were an Awful link of the day at somethingawful.com.
so... yeah
:We know. That was like an age ago though. At least in the edit history terms. So many vandalism attempts in a short time. It's been written in the [[History of WikiFur|WikiFur history]].

== New version discussion ==

I'm liking this look so far. :) Will wait to see a more complete version. ^^ Should also applogise maybe for withdrawing a little from the community but I still hop on everyday. ^_^; Just with Uni restarting, a recent programming project of my own that I'm working on and NaNoWriMo next month, I'm being a little busy to do more than basic RC monitoring. ^^; --[[User:Nidonocu|Nidonocu]] - [[User talk:Nidonocu|talk]] [[File:Trans 168.png|16px|Nidonocu]] 08:05, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks! And don't worry, we all have other commitments as well. :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 13:51, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I got tired of waiting with an [[WikiFur:Community Portal/Archive|obviously inadequate community portal]], so I decided to replace it now. Commends or just direct changes welcome! --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 06:40, 19 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Help Desk ==

Should [[WikiFur:Help_Desk]] be on this page yet, or is someone waiting until it gets renamed? -- [[User:Siege|Siege]] 23:02, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

:Finding a definite name for it could probably take a while, so I don't think we should wait for that to happen first... The fact that it is indeed functional is what matters the most at any rate. :)

:Regarding where to put it though, I guess the 'Get involved!' box would do fine (although it's getting a bit long as it is) - if you don't have a better place in mind. --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 11:39, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Now that we've had a proper forum installed here, shouldn't we perhaps consider archiving and disabling the other help desk? I think it's a bit redundant having two such boards on this wiki, unless the community has exploded overnight or something :)

Thoughts, please? --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 21:53, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

:Probably a good idea. There are already plenty of other ways they can get help if the forum doesn't. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 00:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

::Ok, thanks - I'll just change the links that are currently pointing to it (that do not refer to any specific posts there) to lead to the forum instead, for a start. I'm not entirely sure what to do with the page itself, though, other than removing the header template... should it just be left as it is, or should there rather be some text at the top stating that "this page is no longer in use, and is archived for posterity" or some such? Also; if the latter is the most appropriate alternative, do we have a template to go for that? --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 02:39, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

== Popular pages ==

The [[Special:Popularpages|popular pages]] link doesn't seem to be working at this moment. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 10:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

:No, it does not work, and will not for the foreseeable future. Hit counting has been disabled on Wikia for performance reasons. If we want to know the popular pages, we have to use the [https://www.google.com/analytics/home/report?rid=52980 analytics stats]. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 14:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

== Does this page have a purpose? ==

It seems to me that the Community Central page here is used very little. Nor does it seem to be updated very often (with the possible exception of the new articles/categories bars) - the "latest" news story is from September 2006. We probably don't even need a news section here anymore thanks to the [[News:Front Page]] and overall the page is starting to look pretty outdated.

I personally doubt that many people even use this page that much anymore, preferring the more commonly updated Main Page.

I propose that the Community Central page have a group of people who specifically update it (or, if possible, write some scripts to automatically update parts, as seen on [[Template:WikiFur Central/WikiFur News]]) or - if this is considered a lot cause - to delete the page outright.

Thoughts? {{:User:Robomilk/sig}} 10:20, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

:Are you volunteering? :-) We have DPL now, which can do all sorts of things. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 04:52, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

== Ok desu ka? ==

I've noticed that there's a lot of folks with pages here, some members, some not. I wanted to ask: What's the conditionals for having a page for yourself, as opposed to just your User::[user] page? --[[User:Copb.phoenix|Sar'ras Fae'lynn]] 04:44, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
:WikiFur has no notability requirements, nor do we normally restrict people from editing articles about themselves. It is sufficient to merely be a member of the fandom, or of interest to furry fans for some other reason. If you wish to start the page about yourself, you are welcome to do so, though bear in mind that it can and probably will be edited by others. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 04:46, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

== Life of a 14 year old Furry in progress ==

Hey furry friends or people who just come here to read furry things, I need some help please. You see I watch furry videos on the internet. FYI I hate the mursuit part of the fandom. No doing it please. My dad and mom have now just recently searched my history and have found the videos I watch. My mom has not currently said anything about furries but my dad sure has. We saw a dog today playing with her owner and I said "WOW What a cute dog!" My dad replied "Stupid animals." We got into a discussions about why or why not animals should die and why they are cute. I said out of the blue "I like to dress up like animals." He got into a talk about how being a furry is WEIRD. I said "It's just like mascots. We continued to argue. I feel like if I still dream of being a full furry when I'm older then my dad will secretly hate me for it. Should I continue to be a furry in secret??

== Madison County Library System ==

Hi!

I noticed there is no article on Madison County Library System (you know, the public library furries saved?). Could I create an article about that, or would you rather not?

Anti-furries

O'wolf: Undo revision 566516 by 2603:7081:4002:DB3D:39BD:BA5E:7860:19A7 (talk): vandalism

{{context}}
'''Anti-furries''', also known (in polite terms) as '''Furry critics''', are those individuals who find furries and the [[furry fandom]] as a whole or in part to be repulsive, especially any and all aspects having to do with [[Sex|furry sexuality]]. Some of them also tend to exhibit great interest in the sociology of the [[furry]] community.

Anti-furries are sometimes referred to as "[[non-fur]]s" and "[[mundane]]s", although the latter is more commonly used to refer to anyone who is not a member of the fandom.

== Types ==
===Within the fandom ===

*Previous members of the furry fandom who have become disgusted with furries. They may consider themselves "anti-furry" while still continuing to produce and/or consume media relating to [[anthropomorphic]]s, using [[fursona]]s or participating in [[conventions]] or [[MUCK]]s. Conversely, they may not only cease any interest or association with furry fandom in the future but will actively deny any previous involvement from then on.

=== Outside the fandom ===

*Members that may have never had any association with the fandom, to begin with, and target its members for harassment for various reasons only known to themselves (peer pressure, personal hate, for [[lulz]], [[Fursecution]], etc...).

*Members that are known to hate furries due to the various negative connections to disturbing [[yiff|sexual fetishes]], as well as the [[Furry stereotype|stereotype]] of furries being depicted in mainstream media as socially inept, odd, with poor personal hygiene, and often delusional. Imagery of intense, graphic violence and abuse are also posted by the members.

== Anti-furry groups or communities ==

Many online communities have a strong anti-furry slant, such as [[Something Awful]], [[W:Kiwi Farms|Kiwi Farms]], [[4chan]], and [[encyclopediadramatica.se]]. [[Vivisector (website)|Vivisector]] was an example of a site primarily catering to a general dislike of current furry fans and fandom.

The reasons given for their behavior run the gamut from true harassment to just getting a few people together to laugh at the reaction of most furries to provoking [[drama]]. Members often contend that such sites merely exhibit the true state of the furry community or at least a portion of it.

==Request: Source citations==

Heyo Spirou, thanks for all your patience and help with my page so far.

I have some sources you can use for my WikiFur page, which I've put in the Talk page of my article.

I don't know how to add citations but if you can add an example I can just copy and paste stuff myself, which is entirely how I wrote the original article.

[https://whitetigerofthenorth.blogspot.com/2021/10/worldbuilding-for-my-fursona.html Here's a link to my blog where I reference my immigration], which you can add as a citation for my immigration under "early life" and change "at the age of 16" to "under the age of 18".

Thanks for everything,

== Issues with citation templates ==

Hey Spirou, I'm curious as to your comment on [https://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Polybun&diff=548278&oldid=548277 this revision] where you mention that the reference templates I've been working on lately were "bombing" Safari. I also use Safari as my main browser and haven't encountered issues. Are you able to provide more info on what's causing problems, or what affect it seems to be having? Thanks! {{:User:AlexanderGrey/sig}} 12:31, 23 February 2022 (EST)
:Saving on preview causes the page to lock, and eventually crash. Does not happen on (Apple-approved) Chrome or Edge (could be a Safari extension issue, maybe Grammarly). first page with this type of reference edit use instead of the ones we have been using since day one, is there a reason for using this type now?. If this is GreenReaper approved, no prob, but syntax that may cause a possible crash could be an issue (if extension related, could be a pain if I have to switch them off to just edit an article) - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 14:51, 23 February 2022 (EST)
::My assumption would be that it would be extension related if it's not happening in other browsers. Nothing too weird in the syntax either, it's pretty much the same as what Wikipedia were using before they transitioned all their major templates over to Lua (which WikiFur doesn't support).
::I started updating and using citation templates (most already existed, just hadn't been used or updated for several years) to try and bring some consistency to citations. I personally find it easier to assemble them if there's a template with specific parameters and formats to use, and it of course removes some human error from the equation. Most other wiki projects I contribute to also use such templates, so WikiFur either lacking equivalents, or those equivalents being so massively out of step, was pretty jarring for me. They're not something I'm pushing to be a standard on WikiFur, but they're a tool I personally find useful. {{:User:AlexanderGrey/sig}} 15:15, 23 February 2022 (EST)

== Block ==

Good evening,

I created the account GrantGraywolf about 7 hours ago. I can see why you blocked me, since I didn’t contribute anything and made no edits to my user page. My email address and IP are both blocked as well, so I’m sending this from my phone.

My intent was to edit the page for [[Longhorn Furs]] and create an article for its successor org, Longhorn Furries. I’m smack in the middle of finals season so I didn’t get to this right away. I’ve also read through WikiFur:About and understand wiki policy.

I would like to kindly request my block be lifted. If you need any sort of verification, I can happily send it. If the ban is permanent, I’ll also understand.

I apologize if I’ve made any mistakes, and I wish you well.

Thank you,

Hi, I'm '''o'wolf''', a forty-something German guy who perceives himself as a non-metaphorical wolf in a human body. My self-chosen task here on WikiFur is to keep an eye on the [[Eurofurence]] related content here and add credit where credit is due. I'm also founder and one of the admins of [[:de:|de.WikiFur]].

o'wolf asks to email press inquiries about Eurofurence or the German furry fandom not directly to him, but to [mailto:media@eurofurence.org media@eurofurence.org].

== One line articles ==

Please stop creating one paragraph articles. Concentrate on one and expand, as most of your creations are hard to reference. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 22:35, 17 September 2020 (EDT)
:When requested politely to stop creating one line articles, it doesn’t mean continue to do so. So, again, do not create multiple articles with one paragraph, take one article and expand it, and Vegetales are not [[furry]], by the way. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 23:31, 17 September 2020 (EDT)

{{Eurofurence}}
'''Eurofurence''' (commonly also '''EF'''), is a European [[furry convention]], the largest outside the United States and the longest-running furry convention in the world. It was founded in 1995, and Eurofurence
24 in Berlin, Germany had 2911 attendees.

It is typically held in summer and located in various places of Germany, but it has seen other countries as well, notably Sweden, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Eurofurence 12 was held at the same venue as the Eurofurence 11, and Eurofurence 15 marked a return to the [[Ringberg Hotel]] in Suhl, Thuringia for the third and final year in succession. Since Eurofurence 16 in 2010, the convention has been held at the Maritim Hotel in Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. In 2014, Eurofurence returned to Berlin, taking place at the Estrel Hotel, the largest hotel in Germany.

== Programming ==
Since Eurofurence 12, Eurofurence has run five days from Wednesday to Sunday. Early arrival and late departure options are offered for those who want to stay another night or two. There are several main events that are held every year, often on the same day and time each year. Popular main stage events are the Opening Ceremony, '''[[Uncle Kage's Story Hour]]''', the fursuit dance contest '''[[Enter the Arena]]''', a '''fursuit game show''', a '''concert''' by [[Fox Amoore]] or [[Foxes and Peppers]] (depending on [[Pepper Coyote|Pepper Coyote's]] availability) and the '''[[DoPE|pawpet show]]'''. The pawpet show is a furry hand and rod puppet performance, produced and performed by a mixed crew of Eurofurence staff and attendees. It is written as a feature-length stage show, mixing comedy and drama, with music, added sound effects, special effects and more recently also prerecorded video footage inserted between the scenes. The '''Big Blue Dance''' follows the pawpet show and is the last event of the convention. It is a dance event held in the main dance hall by [[BigBlueFox]] and other DJs, and often continues throughout the night. Light effects, live mixed background animations and other atmospheric effects are also present.

On the final (departure) day of the convention, a '''[[Dead Dog Party]]''' is held for those who want to relax and wind down while preventing [[post-con depression]]. In earlier years, a '''group photo''' of all those attending the convention was taken on Sunday morning. However, it was moved to an earlier day as many congoers were not able to get out of bed so early after the Big Blue Dance the previous night. It also posed problems for people wanting to depart early in the morning, who had to miss the photo.

=== Art and merchandise ===

For the duration of the con, the '''dealer's den''' is available for attendees to sell merchandise of varying sorts. Since Eurofurence 17, two dealer's dens have been available, as the single one could no longer handle the demand.

There is also an '''art show''', where attendees can look around for art and make bids for pieces they would like. About half-way through the convention, the art show is closed and the '''art auction''' is held to sell the pieces to the highest bidders. The auction is conducted by [[Uncle Kage]].

=== Fursuiting ===

There are several events and other facilities for [[fursuiter]]s. There is always a '''headless lounge''' available, which is an area that only fursuiters can enter where they can freely un-suit and relax. The lounge is normally full of fans and other cooling equipment to help the fursuiters cool off. During most of the convention there is also a official [http://www.eurofurence.org/photo/ '''fursuit photoshoot'''], where fursuiters can have pictures of their fursuits taken by a team of professional photographers.

Besides '''Enter the Arena''', a second dance contest '''[[Paws on Fire]]''' has been established. It is a dance battle style contest also known as [[Floor Wars]] at other furry conventions and takes place on the second (or club) stage.

Finally, a '''fursuit group photo''' is traditionally taken on Saturday, followed by the '''fursuit parade''' which fursuiters and non-fursuiters alike are invited to participate in. Since fursuit attendance has been steadily rising over the years (reaching 400 in 2011), the parade is now held entirely outside, and in Eurofurence 17 the parade took place in the city streets of Magdeburg.

=== EF Prime ===
[[Image:Efprimelogo2008.jpg|right|250px|thumb|EF Prime Logo, 2008]]
'''EF Prime''' is a tv channel which broadcasts an information and entertainment during Eurofurence on the internal hotel TV system.

==Organization==
[[Eurofurence 1]] was first organized in 1995 by [[Tes-Tui-H'ar]] and [[unci]], neither of whom are now involved with running the convention. In 1997, [[Cheetah (musician)|Sven "Cheetah" Tegethoff]], took over as [[convention chairman]] of [[Eurofurence 3]] and has chaired nearly every Eurofurence since then. [[Eurofurence 4]] was organized and financed by [[Samarindus]], who found a location for the 1998 convention in the [[wikipedia:Netherlands|Netherlands]] with the help of [[Naros]].

Later in 1998, [[Eurofurence e.V.]] was registered as a social organization in [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] to operate the convention annually from [[Eurofurence 5]] in 1999 to the present day. However, it is not limited to any specific location, and has many international members among its staff and members. Since 2009, Eurofurence e.V. has their own flags, banners and posters with the logo.

=== Current staff ===

For Eurofurence 25 (2019), the core members of convention staff, and their areas of responsibility, are as follows:

* [[Cheetah_(musician)|Cheetah]] — Chairman
* [[Richard Nightfox|Nightfox]] — Vice Chairman, Consite Relations
* [[Loewi]] — Chief Financial Officer, Director Registration

{{Eurofurence}}
'''Eurofurence''' (commonly also '''EF'''), is a European [[furry convention]], the largest outside the United States and the longest-running furry convention in the world. It was founded in 1995, and Eurofurence
24 in Berlin, Germany had 2911 attendees.

It is typically held in summer and located in various places of Germany, but it has seen other countries as well, notably Sweden, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Eurofurence 12 was held at the same venue as the Eurofurence 11, and Eurofurence 15 marked a return to the [[Ringberg Hotel]] in Suhl, Thuringia for the third and final year in succession. Since Eurofurence 16 in 2010, the convention has been held at the Maritim Hotel in Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. In 2014, Eurofurence returned to Berlin, taking place at the Estrel Hotel, the largest hotel in Germany.

== Programming ==
Since Eurofurence 12, Eurofurence has run five days from Wednesday to Sunday. Early arrival and late departure options are offered for those who want to stay another night or two. There are several main events that are held every year, often on the same day and time each year. Popular main stage events are the Opening Ceremony, '''[[Uncle Kage's Story Hour]]''', the fursuit dance contest '''[[Enter the Arena]]''', a '''fursuit game show''', a '''concert''' by [[Fox Amoore]] or [[Foxes and Peppers]] (depending on [[Pepper Coyote|Pepper Coyote's]] availability) and the '''[[DoPE|pawpet show]]'''. The pawpet show is a furry hand and rod puppet performance, produced and performed by a mixed crew of Eurofurence staff and attendees. It is written as a feature-length stage show, mixing comedy and drama, with music, added sound effects, special effects and more recently also prerecorded video footage inserted between the scenes. The '''Big Blue Dance''' follows the pawpet show and is the last event of the convention. It is a dance event held in the main dance hall by [[BigBlueFox]] and other DJs, and often continues throughout the night. Light effects, live mixed background animations and other atmospheric effects are also present.

On the final (departure) day of the convention, a '''[[Dead Dog Party]]''' is held for those who want to relax and wind down while preventing [[post-con depression]]. In earlier years, a '''group photo''' of all those attending the convention was taken on Sunday morning. However, it was moved to an earlier day as many congoers were not able to get out of bed so early after the Big Blue Dance the previous night. It also posed problems for people wanting to depart early in the morning, who had to miss the photo.

=== Art and merchandise ===

For the duration of the con, the '''dealer's den''' is available for attendees to sell merchandise of varying sorts. Since Eurofurence 17, two dealer's dens have been available, as the single one could no longer handle the demand.

There is also an '''art show''', where attendees can look around for art and make bids for pieces they would like. About half-way through the convention, the art show is closed and the '''art auction''' is held to sell the pieces to the highest bidders. The auction is conducted by [[Uncle Kage]].

=== Fursuiting ===

There are several events and other facilities for [[fursuiter]]s. There is always a '''headless lounge''' available, which is an area that only fursuiters can enter where they can freely un-suit and relax. The lounge is normally full of fans and other cooling equipment to help the fursuiters cool off. During most of the convention there is also a official [http://www.eurofurence.org/photo/ '''fursuit photoshoot'''], where fursuiters can have pictures of their fursuits taken by a team of professional photographers.

Besides '''Enter the Arena''', a second dance contest '''[[Paws on Fire]]''' has been established. It is a dance battle style contest also known as [[Floor Wars]] at other furry conventions and takes place on the second (or club) stage.

Finally, a '''fursuit group photo''' is traditionally taken on Saturday, followed by the '''fursuit parade''' which fursuiters and non-fursuiters alike are invited to participate in. Since fursuit attendance has been steadily rising over the years (reaching 400 in 2011), the parade is now held entirely outside, and in Eurofurence 17 the parade took place in the city streets of Magdeburg.

=== EF Prime ===
[[Image:Efprimelogo2008.jpg|right|250px|thumb|EF Prime Logo, 2008]]
'''EF Prime''' is a tv channel which broadcasts an information and entertainment during Eurofurence on the internal hotel TV system. It launched in 2007 during EF 13, and airs information about EF-related events and hotel facilities. In between, it shows furry and furry-related shorts, clips and shows as well as clips that aren't furry related, yet popular among the fandom.
A live twitter feed is being shown during the whole time where tweets, directed at @EF_prime, being shown as well as changes in programming and announcements.

At EF 17, EF Prime got its own mascot, a computer generated wolf named [[Spikey Wolf]]. He was introduced in a video parody of Eminem's "My name is"[http://vimeo.com/27369671] and is voiced by [[Shay]]. Spikey highlighted the days timetable on EF Prime on daily base and also provided in numerous quotes during live events.

Responsible for EF Prime are:
* [[BigBlueFox]] (program schedule, content management, on-air design)
* [[Athesis]] (playout and twitter software)

=== Daily Eurofurence ===
The '''[[Daily Eurofurence]]''' is a newspaper published during Eurofurence, reporting all kinds of events from the prior day. The 'newspaper' consists of various articles, some cartoons, an occasional cross-word puzzle and the updated timetable for the convention.

==Organization==
[[Eurofurence 1]] was first organized in 1995 by [[Tes-Tui-H'ar]] and [[unci]], neither of whom are now involved with running the convention. In 1997, [[Cheetah (musician)|Sven "Cheetah" Tegethoff]], took over as [[convention chairman]] of [[Eurofurence 3]] and has chaired nearly every Eurofurence since then. [[Eurofurence 4]] was organized and financed by [[Samarindus]], who found a location for the 1998 convention in the [[wikipedia:Netherlands|Netherlands]] with the help of [[Naros]].

Later in 1998, [[Eurofurence e.V.]] was registered as a social organization in [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] to operate the convention annually from [[Eurofurence 5]] in 1999 to the present day. However, it is not limited to any specific location, and has many international members among its staff and members. Since 2009, Eurofurence e.V. has their own flags, banners and posters with the logo.

=== Current staff ===

For Eurofurence 25 (2019), the core members of convention staff, and their areas of responsibility, are as follows:

* [[Cheetah_(musician)|Cheetah]] — Chairman
* [[Richard Nightfox|Nightfox]] — Vice Chairman, Consite Relations
* [[Loewi]] — Chief Financial Officer, Director Registration
* [[AmurUssuri]], [[TiBoth]], [[Akulatraxas]] - Directors Programming
* [[Dingo]], [[Dhary]], [[KittehBit]], [[Gyroplast]], [[Venture]] — Directors of Security
* [[Darkwing]] — Director Convention Operations
* [[Cairyn]], [[Blue_Panther]] — Directors Art Show
* [[AlphaKi]], [[Twice]] — Directors Dealers' Den
* [[doco]], [[Vulniir]] — Directors Convention Store
* [[Arahn]] — Director Guest of Honor Relations
* [[Sniffer]] — Director Charity Relations
* [[Jaryic]], [[Kamikaze]], [[garra]], [[Haku]] — Directors Stage
* [[Mendra]], [[Krauti M.]] — Directors Stage Projections and Visuals
* [[BigBlueFox]], [[KwisA]] — Directors Video Team
* [[Atkelar]], [[Shorty]] — Director Fursuit Photoshoot
* [[Mystifur]] — Director [[Fursuit]] Support
* [[Tigerseye]] — Director Fursuit Badges
* [[Blueberry]], [[Jorinda]] - Directors Press and Media Relations
* [[o'wolf]] — Director Community Communications
* [[draconigen]], [[Streifi]] — Directors Website
* [[Snow-wolf]] — Director, Chief Editor Conbook
* [[Luxen]] — Director, Chief Editor [[Daily Eurofurence]]
* [[Jason Blake]] — Director Decorations

* [[Honigeintopf]], [[Winged Neko]] — Directors Telecommunications
* [[Royen]] — Producer Opening and Closing Ceremonies
* [[Stripe]] — Producer Dead Dog Party
* [[Faolan]] — Producer Paws on Fire

Whilst these are the "key" members of staff, there are many more volunteers helping to make the convention a success by doing such tasks as leading events, setting up the stage and art show, tear-down and pretty much anything else that needs to be done.

== Quotes and trivia ==

{{Eurofurence}}
'''Eurofurence''' (commonly also '''EF'''), is a European [[furry convention]], the largest outside the United States and the longest-running furry convention in the world. It was founded in 1995, and Eurofurence
24 in Berlin, Germany had 2911 attendees.

It is typically held in summer and located in various places of Germany, but it has seen other countries as well, notably Sweden, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Eurofurence 12 was held at the same venue as the Eurofurence 11, and Eurofurence 15 marked a return to the [[Ringberg Hotel]] in Suhl, Thuringia for the third and final year in succession. Since Eurofurence 16 in 2010, the convention has been held at the Maritim Hotel in Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. In 2014, Eurofurence returned to Berlin, taking place at the Estrel Hotel, the largest hotel in Germany.

== Programming ==
Since Eurofurence 12, Eurofurence has run five days from Wednesday to Sunday. Early arrival and late departure options are offered for those who want to stay another night or two. There are several main events that are held every year, often on the same day and time each year. Popular main stage events are the Opening Ceremony, '''[[Uncle Kage's Story Hour]]''', the fursuit dance contest '''[[Enter the Arena]]''', a '''fursuit game show''', a '''concert''' by [[Fox Amoore]] or [[Foxes and Peppers]] (depending on [[Pepper Coyote|Pepper Coyote's]] availability) and the '''[[DoPE|pawpet show]]'''. The pawpet show is a furry hand and rod puppet performance, produced and performed by a mixed crew of Eurofurence staff and attendees. It is written as a feature-length stage show, mixing comedy and drama, with music, added sound effects, special effects and more recently also prerecorded video footage inserted between the scenes. The '''Big Blue Dance''' follows the pawpet show and is the last event of the convention. It is a dance event held in the main dance hall by [[BigBlueFox]] and other DJs, and often continues throughout the night. Light effects, live mixed background animations and other atmospheric effects are also present.

On the final (departure) day of the convention, a '''[[Dead Dog Party]]''' is held for those who want to relax and wind down while preventing [[post-con depression]]. In earlier years, a '''group photo''' of all those attending the convention was taken on Sunday morning. However, it was moved to an earlier day as many congoers were not able to get out of bed so early after the Big Blue Dance the previous night. It also posed problems for people wanting to depart early in the morning, who had to miss the photo.

=== Art and merchandise ===

For the duration of the con, the '''dealer's den''' is available for attendees to sell merchandise of varying sorts. Since Eurofurence 17, two dealer's dens have been available, as the single one could no longer handle the demand.

There is also an '''art show''', where attendees can look around for art and make bids for pieces they would like. About half-way through the convention, the art show is closed and the '''art auction''' is held to sell the pieces to the highest bidders. The auction is conducted by [[Uncle Kage]].

=== Fursuiting ===

There are several events and other facilities for [[fursuiter]]s. There is always a '''headless lounge''' available, which is an area that only fursuiters can enter where they can freely un-suit and relax. The lounge is normally full of fans and other cooling equipment to help the fursuiters cool off. During most of the convention there is also a official [http://www.eurofurence.org/photo/ '''fursuit photoshoot'''], where fursuiters can have pictures of their fursuits taken by a team of professional photographers.

Besides '''Enter the Arena''', a second dance contest '''[[Paws on Fire]]''' has been established. It is a dance battle style contest also known as [[Floor Wars]] at other furry conventions and takes place on the second (or club) stage.

Finally, a '''fursuit group photo''' is traditionally taken on Saturday, followed by the '''fursuit parade''' which fursuiters and non-fursuiters alike are invited to participate in. Since fursuit attendance has been steadily rising over the years (reaching 400 in 2011), the parade is now held entirely outside, and in Eurofurence 17 the parade took place in the city streets of Magdeburg.

=== EF Prime ===
[[Image:Efprimelogo2008.jpg|right|250px|thumb|EF Prime Logo, 2008]]
'''EF Prime''' is a tv channel which broadcasts an information and entertainment during Eurofurence on the internal hotel TV system. It launched in 2007 during EF 13, and airs information about EF-related events and hotel facilities. In between, it shows furry and furry-related shorts, clips and shows as well as clips that aren't furry related, yet popular among the fandom.
A live twitter feed is being shown during the whole time where tweets, directed at @EF_prime, being shown as well as changes in programming and announcements.

At EF 17, EF Prime got its own mascot, a computer generated wolf named [[Spikey Wolf]]. He was introduced in a video parody of Eminem's "My name is"[http://vimeo.com/27369671] and is voiced by [[Shay]]. Spikey highlighted the days timetable on EF Prime on daily base and also provided in numerous quotes during live events.

Responsible for EF Prime are:
* [[BigBlueFox]] (program schedule, content management, on-air design)
* [[Athesis]] (playout and twitter software)

=== Daily Eurofurence ===
The '''[[Daily Eurofurence]]''' is a newspaper published during Eurofurence, reporting all kinds of events from the prior day. The 'newspaper' consists of various articles, some cartoons, an occasional cross-word puzzle and the updated timetable for the convention.

Eurofurence 8 was the first Eurofurence convention to have a specific theme. The theme is represented in the art and signs displayed in public and in some events such as the pawpet show.

==Organization==
[[Eurofurence 1]] was first organized in 1995 by [[Tes-Tui-H'ar]] and [[unci]], neither of whom are now involved with running the convention. In 1997, [[Cheetah (musician)|Sven "Cheetah" Tegethoff]], took over as [[convention chairman]] of [[Eurofurence 3]] and has chaired nearly every Eurofurence since then. [[Eurofurence 4]] was organized and financed by [[Samarindus]], who found a location for the 1998 convention in the [[wikipedia:Netherlands|Netherlands]] with the help of [[Naros]].

Later in 1998, [[Eurofurence e.V.]] was registered as a social organization in [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] to operate the convention annually from [[Eurofurence 5]] in 1999 to the present day. However, it is not limited to any specific location, and has many international members among its staff and members. Since 2009, Eurofurence e.V. has their own flags, banners and posters with the logo.

=== Current staff ===

For Eurofurence 21 (2015), the core members of convention staff, and their areas of responsibility, were as follows:<ref>Eurofurence 21 Convention Book, 2015</ref>

* [[Cheetah_(musician)|Cheetah]] — Chairman
* [[Richard Nightfox|Nightfox]] — Vice Chairman, Consite Relations
* [[Loewi]] — Chief Financial Officer, Director Registration
* [[AmurUssuri]], [[TiBoth]], [[Akulatraxas]] - Directors Programming
* [[Dhary]] — Director of Security
* [[Darkwing]] — Director Con Operations
* [[Cairyn]] — Director Art Show
* [[AlphaKi]] — Director Dealers' Den
* [[Arahn]] — Director Guest of Honor Relations
* [[Pinky]] — Director Charity Relations
* [[Jaryic]] — Stage Director
* [[BigBlueFox]] — Director Video and Hotel TV
* [[Atkelar]] — Director Fursuit Photoshoot, Fursuit Gameshow
* [[Mystifur]] — Director [[Fursuit]] Support, Public Affairs
* [[o'wolf]] — Director Press and Media Relations
* [[draconigen]] — Director Website and Community Communications
* [[Luxen]] — Director, Chief Editor [[Daily Eurofurence]]
* [[Snow-wolf]] — Director, Chief Editor Conbook
* [[Jason Blake]] — Director Decorations
* [[Zefiro]] — Director IT
* [[doco]] — Director Con Store

Whilst these are the "key" members of staff, there are many more volunteers helping to make the convention a success by doing such tasks as leading events, setting up the stage and art show, tear-down and pretty much anything else that needs to be done.

== Quotes and trivia ==

* "Anthrocon may be the biggest fur convention in the world, but Eurofurence is the best." — [[Uncle Kage]], EFX (2004)
* "EF kicks ass! In Fact there is not enough ass in the entire US for this con to kick!" — [[Uncle Kage]], EF 12 (2006)
* "I am chairman of the largest furry convention in the world, but I personally believe that the best furry convention is right here." — [[Uncle Kage]], EF 13 (2007)
* "I command three of the largest hotels, in one of the largest cities in the USA. I would trade all of them away for one Ringberg." (a.k.a. "Goodbye, Ringberg Hotel") — [[Uncle Kage]], EF 15 (2009)
* "This is our second year in the Maritim hotel. And with 1066 registration we are officially booked out." — [[Nightfox]], EF 17 (2011)
* "...additional notice. We would like to ask you: to NOT fursuit in the pool. The filters clogged up with fur and water overflowed in to other areas. And although the hotel manager though it was very cool. We still have to ask you to not do this." — [[Nightfox]], EF 17 (2011)
* "The past week has been a wild ride for the reg team - during first 6 days, we have received nothing short of 1150 registration requests - which once again marks a new record in EF history." — [[Cheetah]], pre-EF18 (2012)

HerbstCon

2017-11-16T14:42:04Z

O'wolf: Updates for previous two years and current location

:''HerbstCon is not related to [[H-Con]], another German furry convention held in the fall.''
{{time}}
{{copyedit}}
'''HerbstCon''' (or '''Die HerbstCon''') is a [[furry]] [[convention]] in the [[Wikipedia:Rhineland-Palatinate|Rhineland-Palatinate]] region of [[Wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] that was first held in 2003. The German words "Die HerbstCon" literally translates to "the autumn (or fall) con".

==History==
'''HerbstCon 2007''' took place over November 01-04 at a [[wikipedia:de:Sozialistische Jugend Deutschlands – Die Falken|Falken]] youth center club house in [[wikipedia:Seeheim-Jugenheim|Seeheim]] near [[Wikipedia:Darmstadt|Darmstadt]], Hesse, Germany. The event eventually moved to a new location near [[Wikipedia:Limburg_an_der_Lahn|Limburg an der Lahn]]. Due to the limited space (up to 40 attendees), guests of previous years get invited first, followed by those on a waiting list. HerbstCon 2017 attracted 36 participants.

The "Spring Edition" was held for the first time from 31 March to 2 April 2006 in a [[Wikipedia:Boy Scouts|boy scout]] club house near [[Wikipedia:Fulda|Fulda]], Hesse, Germany with 15 participants.

The following year, the Spring Edition was held from 30 March to 1 April 2007 in Phillipsthal, Hesse, Germany. Registration was closed when the maximum capacity of 20 participants was reached. The last Spring Edition took place in 2014.

HerbstCon 2009 was held on 29 October-1 November.

HerbstCon 2012 was held over October 11-14, 2012.

HerbstCon 2013 was held over October 3-6, 2013.<ref>[http://www.furcon.de/details/972 HerbstCon 2013] on furcon.de. Retrieved October 7, 2013.</ref>

HerbstCon 2014 took place over October 2-5, 2014.<ref>[http://furcon.eu/details/1177 HerbstCon 2014] on furcon.eu. Retrieved June 8, 2014.</ref>

HerbstCon 2015 was held over October 1-4, 2015.<ref>[http://furcon.eu/details/1188 HerbstCon 2015] on furcon.eu. Retrieved January 24, 2015.</ref>

HerbstCon 2016 was held over September 30 - October 3, 2016.

HerbstCon 2017 took place again from September 30 to October 3, 2017.

== Background ==
HerbstCon is famous for its cozy atmosphere and excellent self-cooked food. It is reminiscent of meetings from the early days of [[furry fandom]], before elaborate programming, events, registration, badges, conbooks and timetables or the like could be found. Among the guests are many well-known German artists and organizers of other European conventions and meets. This is their "payback" for contributing to the fandom: a relaxing weekend!
HerbstCon was organized by [[kovu (Person)|kovu]] and [[somewolf]]. Since 2015 [[Kayjay (Person)|Kayjay]] is taking charge of it.

O'wolf:

Thanks for expanding my stub. Some questions come up when reading this:
* "40 invited guests" - is this an invitation-only event?
* "Spring edition" - when exactly?
* Where exactly is this anyway?
The official website isn't all that informative yet.
--[[User:Unci|Unci]] 11:23, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)
: I just found this article and realized the same. Strictly speaking, it is not an invitation-only event. Those who attended the previous years get invited, and if there is some space left those on the waiting list can attend. The location is the old [[Mephit Mini Con]] location near Darmstadt, and the spring edition will be near Fulda. However, the exact date is still being discussed. --[[User:O'wolf|O'wolf]] 16:55, 14 Dec 2005 (UTC)

:answers:
:* everyfur can ask by email to get invited, if there's space this may work out than
:* there are no plans at all to expand the capacity in the furture
:* the locations are not that exactly named to avoid 'dayguests' from showing up, this lead to problems in the past
:* there's not much information on the webpage because the group, place, conditions etc don't chance much from year to year and we have a mailinglist for important informations as well --[[User:Somewolf|somewolf]] 20:01, 26 Dec 2005 (UTC)

:Does anyone else find it rather ironic that there is a "spring edition" of a con that is named after autumn? :-) --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 00:17, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC)

::well, it developed ..first it was a joke saying we need a spring ed. 'cause all the folks who wanted to attend the regular one, so we thought why not and it sounds as absurd in german as in english btw *g*
::the invitation states 'a joke is becomming real' --[[User:Somewolf|somewolf]] 18:18, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC)

When did this start? 2003? I see a [http://mitglied.lycos.de/rpgforum/HerbstCon.html Herbst Con 2000], but I think it is a different one. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 04:52, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
:Yes, that's a different HerbstCon, seems to be a general roleplaying con. I think the first HerbstCon was in 2004, but I'm not that sure about it. --[[User:Conti|Conti]]|[[User talk:Conti|✉]] 15:30, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

== Ended? ==

I haven't found any search results online for this. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] ([[User talk:Sine|talk]]) 21:28, 12 November 2017 (EST)
: It still exists, though at a different location in the meantime and a smaller number of attendees. The current location has no Internet access thus you won't find much on social media. The Spring Edition does not exist anymore, BTW --[[User:O'wolf|o'wolf]] ([[User talk:O'wolf|talk]]) 03:16, 13 November 2017 (EST)

'''DoPE''' (the '''Department of Pawpetry Entertainment'''), is the crew behind the [[pawpet]] show at [[Eurofurence]]. The show is also known as the '''LSD Show''', as it was originally set at [[Lionel C. Scruffycat|Lionel Scritchie's]] Dormitory. Despite the drug-refering puns of the acronyms, the only drugs involved in making the show are pure and utter nonsense along with a great love for puppetry.

== History ==

The initiative for the show came from [[Fairlight]], who took his lion pawpet to [[ConFurence 11]] and met [[TeddyRuxpin]] of [[PawPets West]], who was organizing the pawpet events at the convention. Fairlight immediately became addicted to puppeteering and organized a short music parody show for [[Eurofurence_6|Eurofurence 6]]. Additional puppeteers on that show were [[Lynard]], [[Eisfuchs]] and [[Jaryic]]. The LSD Show became one of the main events of the following Eurofurences.

Since [[Eurofurence_8|Eurofurence 8]] the stories have been written by [[Cheetah_(musician)|Cheetah]] and [[Eisfuchs]]. Cheetah is also the director and sound effect creator of the show.

The following 10 years after the initial parody show, the main pawpeteers and their roles were:

* Eisfuchs (performer and voice of [[Lori]] the naïve [[vixen]])
* Fairlight (performer and voice of [[Poke]] the big-mouthed and perverted [[ferret]])
* Lynard (voice and performer of [[Lionel C. Scruffycat]] the rational [[Lion (species)|lion]])
* [[TaniDaReal]] (voice and performer of [[Mika]] the tough [[Snow Leopard]]ess) (joined at [[Eurofurence_9|Eurofurence 9]]).

Starting with [[Eurofurence_17|Eurofurence 17]], the team decided that the larger stage and audience demanded a change of the show format. The classic hand puppets were retired and new, custom built rod puppets were designed and used in the following shows, which were operated by at least two pawpeteers per puppet. This also meant to part with the old cast of characters in favor of story driven characters on a per-show basis.

Additional long-time puppeteers and stage-hands are [[FinFarenath]], [[o'wolf]], [[Tigerseye]], [[Xan]] and [[Zefiro]] and many more, listed on the respective show sub pages below. Backdrops have been designed by [[TaniDaReal]]. Props, additional puppets and various set elements usually get designed and built by various crew members. The puppet stage manager and assistent director is [[Reesa]] who was joined by Zefiro in the later years. Sound and pre-recordings engineer is [[Jaryic]], lights initially were operated and designed by [[Richard Nightfox|Nightfox]], which changed several times in the later years. The crew also includes the [[Eurofurence]] video documentary staff under direction of [[BigBlueFox]] and additional helpers for scene-shifting, curtain operation and lighting. The show at [[Eurofurence_11|Eurofurence 11]] had more than 20 people on staff. In the meantime this number rose to roundabout 30.

Among the special guests on the LSD Show were [[Lisanne Norman]], [[Chairo]], [[Uncle Kage]] and [[Heather Alexander]].

{{Eurofurence}}
'''Eurofurence''' (commonly also '''EF'''), is a European [[furry convention]], the largest outside the United States and the longest-running furry convention in the world. It was founded in 1995, and Eurofurence 20 in Berlin, Germany had 2015 attendees.{{fact}}

It is typically held in summer and located in various places of Germany, but it has seen other countries as well, notably Sweden, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Eurofurence 12 was held at the same venue as the Eurofurence 11, and Eurofurence 15 marked a return to the [[Ringberg Hotel]] in Suhl, Thuringia for the third and final year in succession. Since Eurofurence 16 in 2010, the convention has been held at the Maritim Hotel in Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. In 2014, Eurofurence returned to Berlin, taking place at the Estrel Hotel, the largest hotel in Germany.

== Programming ==
Since Eurofurence 12, Eurofurence has run five days from Wednesday to Sunday. Early arrival and late departure options are offered for those who want to stay another night or two. There are several main events that are held every year, often on the same day and time each year.

The convention traditionally begins with a '''barbecue''' held outside on the convention premises. During this barbecue the convention is then officially opened in an '''opening ceremony''' hosted by Cheetah, where the attendees are introduced to the staff. In the opening ceremony, the main events of the convention are announced, along with other important points such as rules of conduct and other safety notices.

On one evening, [[Uncle Kage]] and [[2, The Ranting Gryphon]] get together to present '''Uncle Kage vs. 2'''. It is a combination of [[Uncle Kage's Story Hour]] and a comedy performance by 2, either performed in sequence or with each taking turns. At Eurofurence 17, 2 could not attend, so the event was changed to only a story hour for that year. Kage "compensated" for that by doing impressions of 2 on stage.

The '''[[DoPE|pawpet show]]''' is usually the closing event of Eurofurence, in the absence of a real closing ceremony. It is a furry handpuppet performance, written, produced and performed by a mixed crew of Eurofurence staff and attendees. It is written as a feature-length stage show, mixing comedy and drama, with music, added sound effects, special effects and more recently also prerecorded video footage inserted between the scenes. The '''Big Blue Dance''' follows the pawpet show and is the last event of the convention. It is a dance event held in the main dance hall by [[BigBlueFox]] and other DJs, and often continues throughout the night. Light effects, live mixed background animations and other atmospheric effects are also present.

On the final (departure) day of the convention, a '''[[Dead Dog Party]]''' is held for those who want to relax and wind down while preventing [[post-con depression]]. In earlier years, a '''group photo''' of all those attending the convention was taken on Sunday morning. However, it was moved to Saturday morning as many congoers were not able to get out of bed so early after the Big Blue Dance the previous night. It also posed problems for people wanting to depart early in the morning, who had to miss the photo.

=== Art and merchandise ===

For the duration of the con, the '''dealer's den''' is available for attendees to sell merchandise of varying sorts. Since Eurofurence 17, two dealer's dens have been available, as the single one could no longer handle the demand.

There is also an '''art show''', where attendees can look around for art and make bids for pieces they would like. About half-way through the convention, the art show is closed and the '''art auction''' is held to sell the pieces to the highest bidders. The auction is conducted by [[Uncle Kage]].

=== Fursuiting ===

There are several events and other facilities for [[fursuiter]]s. There is always a '''headless lounge''' available, which is an area that only fursuiters can enter where they can freely un-suit and relax. The lounge is normally full of fans and other cooling equipment to help the fursuiters cool off. During most of the convention there is also a official [http://www.eurofurence.org/photo/ '''fursuit photoshoot'''], where fursuiters can have pictures of their fursuits taken by a team of professional photographers.

On the main stage, the '''fursuit gameshow''' is held, in which teams in fursuits compete in several challenges. The challenges are often made with the difficulties of wearing a fursuit in mind, but sometimes they take advantage of this to provide a challenge unique to fursuiters, such as balancing objects on one's muzzle.

Finally, a '''fursuit group photo''' is traditionally taken on Saturday, followed by the '''fursuit parade''' which fursuiters and non-fursuiters alike are invited to participate in. Since fursuit attendance has been steadily rising over the years (reaching 400 in 2011), the parade is now held entirely outside, and in Eurofurence 17 the parade took place in the city streets of Magdeburg.

=== EF Prime ===
[[Image:Efprimelogo2008.jpg|right|250px|thumb|EF Prime Logo, 2008]]
'''EF Prime''' is a tv channel which broadcasts an information and entertainment during Eurofurence on the internal hotel TV system. It launched in 2007 during EF 13, and airs information about EF-related events and hotel facilities. In between, it shows furry and furry-related shorts, clips and shows as well as clips that aren't furry related, yet popular among the fandom.
A live twitter feed is being shown during the whole time where tweets, directed at @EF_prime, being shown as well as changes in programming and announcements.

At EF 17, EF Prime got its own mascot, a computer generated wolf named [[Spikey Wolf]]. He was introduced in a video parody of Eminem's "My name is"[http://vimeo.com/27369671] and is voiced by [[Shay]]. Spikey highlighted the days timetable on EF Prime on daily base and also provided in numerous quotes during live events.

Responsible for EF Prime are:
* [[BigBlueFox]] (program schedule, content management, on-air design)
* [[Athesis]] (playout and twitter software)
* [[Tillikum]] (IT-planning, hardware)

=== Daily Eurofurence ===
The '''[[Daily Eurofurence]]''' is a newspaper published during Eurofurence, reporting all kinds of events from the prior day. The 'newspaper' consists of various articles, some cartoons, an occasional cross-word puzzle and the updated timetable for the convention.

==Organization==
[[Eurofurence 1]] was first organized in 1995 by [[Tes-Tui-H'ar]] and [[unci]], neither of whom are now involved with running the convention. In 1997, [[Cheetah (musician)|Sven "Cheetah" Tegethoff]], took over as [[convention chairman]] of [[Eurofurence 3]] and has chaired nearly every Eurofurence since then. [[Eurofurence 4]] was organized and financed by [[Samarindus]], who found a location for the 1998 convention in the [[wikipedia:Netherlands|Netherlands]] with the help of [[Naros]].

Later in 1998, [[Eurofurence e.V.]] was registered as a social organization in [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] to operate the convention annually from [[Eurofurence 5]] in 1999 to the present day. However, it is not limited to any specific location, and has many international members among its staff and members. Since 2009, Eurofurence e.V. has their own flags, banners and posters with the logo.

=== Current staff ===

For Eurofurence 21 (2015), the core members of convention staff, and their areas of responsibility, were as follows:<ref>Eurofurence 21 Convention Book, 2015</ref>

* [[Cheetah_(musician)|Cheetah]] — Chairman
* [[Richard Nightfox|Nightfox]] — Vice Chairman, Consite Relations
* [[Loewi]] — Chief Financial Officer, Director Registration
* [[AmurUssuri]], [[TiBoth]], [[Akulatraxas]] - Directors Programming
* [[Dhary]] — Director of Security
* [[Darkwing]] — Director Con Operations
* [[Cairyn]] — Director Art Show
* [[AlphaKi]] — Director Dealers' Den
* [[Arahn]] — Director Guest of Honor Relations
* [[Pinky]] — Director Charity Relations
* [[Jaryic]] — Stage Director
* [[BigBlueFox]] — Director Video and Hotel TV
* [[Atkelar]] — Director Fursuit Photoshoot, Fursuit Gameshow
* [[Mystifur]] — Director [[Fursuit]] Support, Public Affairs

* [[Luxen]] — Director, Chief Editor [[Daily Eurofurence]]
* [[Snow-wolf]] — Director, Chief Editor Conbook
* [[Jason Blake]] — Director Decorations
* [[Zefiro]] — Director IT
* [[doco]] — Director Con Store

Whilst these are the "key" members of staff, there are many more volunteers helping to make the convention a success by doing such tasks as leading events, setting up the stage and art show, tear-down and pretty much anything else that needs to be done.

== Quotes and trivia ==

* "Anthrocon may be the biggest fur convention in the world, but Eurofurence is the best." — [[Uncle Kage]], EFX (2004)
* "EF kicks ass! In Fact there is not enough ass in the entire US for this con to kick!" — [[Uncle Kage]], EF 12 (2006)
* "I am chairman of the largest furry convention in the world, but I personally believe that the best furry convention is right here." — [[Uncle Kage]], EF 13 (2007)
* "I command three of the largest hotels, in one of the largest cities in the USA. I would trade all of them away for one Ringberg." (a.k.a. "Goodbye, Ringberg Hotel") — [[Uncle Kage]], EF 15 (2009)
* "This is our second year in the Maritim hotel. And with 1066 registration we are officially booked out." — [[Nightfox]], EF 17 (2011)
* "...additional notice. We would like to ask you: to NOT fursuit in the pool. The filters clogged up with fur and water overflowed in to other areas. And although the hotel manager though it was very cool. We still have to ask you to not do this." — [[Nightfox]], EF 17 (2011)
* "The past week has been a wild ride for the reg team - during first 6 days, we have received nothing short of 1150 registration requests - which once again marks a new record in EF history." — [[Cheetah]], pre-EF18 (2012)

{{Eurofurence}}
'''Eurofurence''' (commonly also '''EF'''), is a European [[furry convention]], the largest outside the United States and the longest-running furry convention in the world. It was founded in 1995, and Eurofurence 20 in Berlin, Germany had 2015 attendees.{{fact}}

It is typically held in summer and located in various places of Germany, but it has seen other countries as well, notably Sweden, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Eurofurence 12 was held at the same venue as the Eurofurence 11, and Eurofurence 15 marked a return to the [[Ringberg Hotel]] in Suhl, Thuringia for the third and final year in succession. Since Eurofurence 16 in 2010, the convention has been held at the Maritim Hotel in Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. In 2014, Eurofurence returned to Berlin, taking place at the Estrel Hotel, the largest hotel in Germany.

== Programming ==
Since Eurofurence 12, Eurofurence has run five days from Wednesday to Sunday. Early arrival and late departure options are offered for those who want to stay another night or two. There are several main events that are held every year, often on the same day and time each year.

The convention traditionally begins with a '''barbecue''' held outside on the convention premises. During this barbecue the convention is then officially opened in an '''opening ceremony''' hosted by Cheetah, where the attendees are introduced to the staff. In the opening ceremony, the main events of the convention are announced, along with other important points such as rules of conduct and other safety notices.

On one evening, [[Uncle Kage]] and [[2, The Ranting Gryphon]] get together to present '''Uncle Kage vs. 2'''. It is a combination of [[Uncle Kage's Story Hour]] and a comedy performance by 2, either performed in sequence or with each taking turns. At Eurofurence 17, 2 could not attend, so the event was changed to only a story hour for that year. Kage "compensated" for that by doing impressions of 2 on stage.

The '''[[DoPE|pawpet show]]''' is usually the closing event of Eurofurence, in the absence of a real closing ceremony. It is a furry handpuppet performance, written, produced and performed by a mixed crew of Eurofurence staff and attendees. It is written as a feature-length stage show, mixing comedy and drama, with music, added sound effects, special effects and more recently also prerecorded video footage inserted between the scenes. The '''Big Blue Dance''' follows the pawpet show and is the last event of the convention. It is a dance event held in the main dance hall by [[BigBlueFox]] and other DJs, and often continues throughout the night. Light effects, live mixed background animations and other atmospheric effects are also present.

On the final (departure) day of the convention, a '''[[Dead Dog Party]]''' is held for those who want to relax and wind down while preventing [[post-con depression]]. In earlier years, a '''group photo''' of all those attending the convention was taken on Sunday morning. However, it was moved to Saturday morning as many congoers were not able to get out of bed so early after the Big Blue Dance the previous night. It also posed problems for people wanting to depart early in the morning, who had to miss the photo.

=== Art and merchandise ===

For the duration of the con, the '''dealer's den''' is available for attendees to sell merchandise of varying sorts. Since Eurofurence 17, two dealer's dens have been available, as the single one could no longer handle the demand.

There is also an '''art show''', where attendees can look around for art and make bids for pieces they would like. About half-way through the convention, the art show is closed and the '''art auction''' is held to sell the pieces to the highest bidders. The auction is conducted by [[Uncle Kage]].

=== Fursuiting ===

There are several events and other facilities for [[fursuiter]]s. There is always a '''headless lounge''' available, which is an area that only fursuiters can enter where they can freely un-suit and relax. The lounge is normally full of fans and other cooling equipment to help the fursuiters cool off. During most of the convention there is also a official [http://www.eurofurence.org/photo/ '''fursuit photoshoot'''], where fursuiters can have pictures of their fursuits taken by a team of professional photographers.

On the main stage, the '''fursuit gameshow''' is held, in which teams in fursuits compete in several challenges. The challenges are often made with the difficulties of wearing a fursuit in mind, but sometimes they take advantage of this to provide a challenge unique to fursuiters, such as balancing objects on one's muzzle.

Finally, a '''fursuit group photo''' is traditionally taken on Saturday, followed by the '''fursuit parade''' which fursuiters and non-fursuiters alike are invited to participate in. Since fursuit attendance has been steadily rising over the years (reaching 400 in 2011), the parade is now held entirely outside, and in Eurofurence 17 the parade took place in the city streets of Magdeburg.

=== EF Prime ===
[[Image:Efprimelogo2008.jpg|right|250px|thumb|EF Prime Logo, 2008]]
'''EF Prime''' is a tv channel which broadcasts an information and entertainment during Eurofurence on the internal hotel TV system.

In between, it shows furry and furry-related shorts, clips and shows as well as clips that aren't furry related, yet popular among the fandom.
A live twitter feed is being shown during the whole time where tweets, directed at @EF_prime, being shown as well as changes in programming and announcements.

At EF 17, EF Prime got its own mascot, a computer generated wolf named [[Spikey Wolf]]. He was introduced in a video parody of Eminem's "My name is"[http://vimeo.com/27369671] and is voiced by [[Shay]]. Spikey highlighted the days timetable on EF Prime on daily base and also provided in numerous quotes during live events.

Responsible for EF Prime are:
* [[BigBlueFox]] (program schedule, content management, on-air design)
* [[Athesis]] (playout and twitter software)
* [[Tillikum]] (IT-planning, hardware)

=== Daily Eurofurence ===

==Organization==
[[Eurofurence 1]] was first organized in 1995 by [[Tes-Tui-H'ar]] and [[unci]], neither of whom are now involved with running the convention. In 1997, [[Cheetah (musician)|Sven "Cheetah" Tegethoff]], took over as [[convention chairman]] of [[Eurofurence 3]] and has chaired nearly every Eurofurence since then. [[Eurofurence 4]] was organized and financed by [[Samarindus]], who found a location for the 1998 convention in the [[wikipedia:Netherlands|Netherlands]] with the help of [[Naros]].

Later in 1998, [[Eurofurence e.V.]] was registered as a social organization in [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] to operate the convention annually from [[Eurofurence 5]] in 1999 to the present day. However, it is not limited to any specific location, and has many international members among its staff and members. Since 2009, Eurofurence e.V. has their own flags, banners and posters with the logo.

=== Current staff ===

For Eurofurence 21 (2015), the core members of convention staff, and their areas of responsibility, were as follows:<ref>Eurofurence 21 Convention Book, 2015</ref>

* [[Cheetah_(musician)|Cheetah]] — Chairman
* [[Richard Nightfox|Nightfox]] — Vice Chairman, Consite Relations
* [[Loewi]] — Chief Financial Officer, Director Registration
* [[AmurUssuri]], [[TiBoth]], [[Akulatraxas]] - Directors Programming
* [[Dhary]] — Director of Security
* [[Darkwing]] — Director Con Operations
* [[Cairyn]] — Director Art Show
* [[AlphaKi]] — Director Dealers' Den
* [[Arahn]] — Director Guest of Honor Relations
* [[Pinky]] — Director Charity Relations
* [[Jaryic]] — Stage Director
* [[BigBlueFox]] — Director Video and Hotel TV
* [[Atkelar]] — Director Fursuit Photoshoot, Fursuit Gameshow
* [[Mystifur]] — Director [[Fursuit]] Support, Public Affairs
* [[o'wolf]] — Director Press and Media Relations
* [[draconigen]] — Director Website and Community Communications
* [[Luxen]] — Director, Chief Editor [[Daily Eurofurence]]
* [[Snow-wolf]] — Director, Chief Editor Conbook
* [[Jason Blake]] — Director Decorations
* [[Zefiro]] — Director IT
* [[doco]] — Director Con Store

Whilst these are the "key" members of staff, there are many more volunteers helping to make the convention a success by doing such tasks as leading events, setting up the stage and art show, tear-down and pretty much anything else that needs to be done.

== Quotes and trivia ==

* "Anthrocon may be the biggest fur convention in the world, but Eurofurence is the best." — [[Uncle Kage]], EFX (2004)
* "EF kicks ass! In Fact there is not enough ass in the entire US for this con to kick!" — [[Uncle Kage]], EF 12 (2006)
* "I am chairman of the largest furry convention in the world, but I personally believe that the best furry convention is right here." — [[Uncle Kage]], EF 13 (2007)
* "I command three of the largest hotels, in one of the largest cities in the USA. I would trade all of them away for one Ringberg." (a.k.a. "Goodbye, Ringberg Hotel") — [[Uncle Kage]], EF 15 (2009)
* "This is our second year in the Maritim hotel. And with 1066 registration we are officially booked out." — [[Nightfox]], EF 17 (2011)
* "...additional notice. We would like to ask you: to NOT fursuit in the pool. The filters clogged up with fur and water overflowed in to other areas. And although the hotel manager though it was very cool. We still have to ask you to not do this." — [[Nightfox]], EF 17 (2011)
* "The past week has been a wild ride for the reg team - during first 6 days, we have received nothing short of 1150 registration requests - which once again marks a new record in EF history." — [[Cheetah]], pre-EF18 (2012)

:''Fursona'' is also the title of a series of [[Fursona (Pathfinder)|rule books for the ''Pathfinder'' RPG]].
[[File:CharSheetFoxyFix.jpg|thumb|250px|A fursona's [[character sheet]]]]
A '''fursona''' (pl. '''fursonas''', sometimes '''furson'''; a [[furspeech]] [[W:portmanteau|portmanteau]] derived from the terms [[furry]] and [[W:persona|persona]]), refers to a (normally [[furry]]), [[character]], [[persona]], [[alter ego]], [[avatar]], or [[identity]] assumed by a person or [[player]] normally associated with the [[furry fandom]].

The fursona itself consists of a name (usually fictitious) and a species, as well as any distinctive colors, markings or body features. An artist's typical [[Commission|commission]] is a rendition of a fursona.

== Historical origin ==
{{Unreferenced-section}}
{{Dubious}}
The origins of the fursona concept within the eventual furry fandom is difficult to pin down to specific dates, and it is not known if similar concepts of personal fictional alter-egos exists outside of the furry fandom.

What can be said is that the growing clout of roleplaying gaming (including live-action, tabletop, computer multi-player, etc.) in Western society in the 1970s and 1980s induced the adoption or self-creation of highly-stylized, often genre-specific alter-egos for RP purposes among specific audiences.

As the first large furry parties took place at large science-fiction or multi-genre speculative fiction conventions, such venues often served as meeting places for both RPers and costumers as well as artists and writers, the latter two of whom had often honed their skills in the funny animal art scene's APAs. Thus, when RPers and costumers happened upon the Art Show exhibits for "funny" animal artists, the latter were soon in demand from RPers and costumers for commissioned renditions of their RP or costume characters.

As the customers were often not writers or artists but had envisioned these characters as being more than just under their ownership, detailed specifics for such characters (see "Elements") were often provided by the customers so as to give as much narrative-independent life to such characters as possible.

As a result, when the first furry parties were held, the first costumers and RPers of what would become the furry fandom had already developed the awareness of their favorite RP or costume characters' artistically-rendered exteriors, what they acted like, and in what they were interested or disinterested.

Such characters often did not need to be written into written narratives, but were instead buoyed by being a general-purpose alter-ego for the RPer or costumer. This difference from the traditional idea of the character as being driven by stories of fiction allowed for the "favorite character" or "custom-made character" to be shifted to the "alter-ego", "alternative persona" or "fursona".

== The fursona ==
[[File:CharacterModelSheet-Sono.jpg|thumb|right|[[Sono]] Eliane Anderson-Kei's character model sheet.]]
Depending on the level of personal identification the description of a fursona typically consists of the following elements:

Many fursonas are based on 'typical' animal species, such as [[cat]]s and wolves, but are often only limited by the imaginations of their player, and can include more extraordinary types of creatures such as aliens, angels, [[demon]]s, vampires, and mythological creatures (a popular offshoot of mythological creatures is to have a [[hexaped]]al, [[taur]]-based fursona). [[hybrid|Hybrid]] fursonas are also popular; furries who like characteristics of more than one animal will combine them into one creature, such as a cat/fox or wolf/raccoon cross. Some give these hybrids portmanteau names, such as "drynx" for a dragon/lynx, or "[[hedgefox]]" for a hedgehog/fox.

=== Appearance ===

A visual, kinesthetic, or textual realization of the player's mental impression of their fursona. The most common form of realization being an illustration or textual description which may be described by the term [[furry art]].

==== Attire ====

Since many fursonas have complex fur patterns or other interesting anatomical details, not all fursonas are necessarily clothed or always illustrated with clothing on. As such, there will often be several details about the appearance of a fursona; first, its physical body, and secondly, whatever clothes and accessories are worn over such a body.

===Behavior===

Depending on personal preference the behavior of a fursona can range from that of a typical [[human]] being [[zoomorphic]] only in appearance to behavior which is identical to that of the animal represented by the fursona. These general behaviors usually form a framework inside of which a player may mold their character's behavior to their liking. As fursonas are typically a [[furry]] representation of the player the fursona often inherits many of the player's character traits.

===Fursona history===

Fursonas are often used to [[roleplay]] or in other story-based mediums, and as such, often have some sort of history, whether it is merely the history of the player behind the fursona, a backstory within a world of another person's design, or a story within a world of the person's own design.

==Levels of personal identification==
[[File:AverageJoeFursona.jpg|thumb|right|An example [[fox]]-type fursona portrait. Art by [[Kitetsu]].]]
An individual may identify with a particular character in a variety of ways and with varying degrees of closeness.

===Avatar===

An [[Avatar (virtual reality)|avatar]] is typically a character created by a [[player]] as an [[Wikipedia:alias|alias]]. Typically this alias is used by the [[player]] as a trademark or symbol of their [[role playing]] identity. Hence, [[player]]s typically do not associate themselves with their avatar outside of that specific realm of experience. A single player typically has many avatars; however, some [[player]]s may prefer one character over others.

===Personal furry===

A personal furry is a fursona that a person or [[player]] identifies with on an intimate level.

====Personal furry vs. avatar====
The description of a personal furry typically possesses all the hallmarks of a complete fictional character. This may include the physical description of a furry, the character's beliefs, moods, and temperaments, and all stories that support and expand the understanding of the furry character. Drawings of the character are very common, and personal furries are often used online to role-play with other characters, sometimes with the aid of an avatar.

While a person may play several characters and have several fursonas, the '''personal furry''' often has greater significance — it will often be a better representation of the person's "real" personality, if only because they tend to use it more often. Many individuals with a personal furry will primarily use that character to represent themselves online and within the fandom, and may actually go by that character's name as their primary nickname or handle, both on and even offline.

====Fursona as a metaphor====

A personal furry often reflects elements of their player's real-life appearance or dress, or what they would like to wear and is also referred to a lot as a Fursona. Also, there may be clues within the personal furry as to how that player sees themselves; to have a cat furry may symbolize a thirst for independence, and likewise a fox furry may symbolize perceived wit. Coat/Scale/Feather coloring may also represent the personality of a person; for example a pink coat may represent girlish behavior.

====Relationship to other furry concepts/practices====

While a personal furry is often seen as a natural fit for [[lifestyler]]s, it's important to note that ideas such as the [[furry lifestyle]] and [[animal totemism]] are not intrinsically linked to the concept.

It is generally considered to be in bad taste for others to depict a personal furry (and to a lesser extent, any character) participating in activities such as "[[yiff]]ing" that they or their player would not normally be involved in.

'''PREQUEL''', also known as '''Making A Cat Cry: The Adventure''', is an interactive [[webcomic]] created by [[Kazerad]] and set in [[The Elder Scrolls]] universe.

== History ==

PREQUEL started as a thread on the [[W:MS Paint|MS Paint]] Adventures forums, but has since then moved to its own website. It also gained quite a bit of popularity, which caused some performance issues and downtime for the website.

== Premise ==

PREQUEL is an interactive story, where readers can submit suggestions for the protagonist, which she interprets as coming from her subconscious. Readers can submit suggestions for characters other than the main one for the strips where the viewpoint changes. The commands can be submitted in the Forum Adventure thread, in the MS Paint Adventures forum.

The main character of the story is a [[khajiit]] (an [[anthropomorphic]] [[cat]] species from [[The Elder Scrolls]] universe) who decides to start a new life. She arrives at Cyrodiil on a ship coming from Hammerfell, and chooses a new name, '''Katia Managan'''. At this point she's faced with the fact that she has no money, no skills, no friends and an extremely low tolerance for alcohol.

Her inital attempts to get a job end badly, but finally she meets '''Quill-Weave''', a friendly [[argonian]] [[writer]] who gives her a chance to prove herself, even though Katia just wrecked her house. Despite further setbacks, Katia succeeds at acquiring some new skills and posessions, and things seem to be finally improving.

==Characters==
[[Image:Katia.gif|left|150px|Katia Managan]]'''Katia Managan'''
*First appearance: start of the comic [http://www.prequeladventure.com/2011/03/prequel-begin/]
*Species: [[khajiit]]
The main character. She has recently decided to start a new life. Unfortunately her lack of skills and money, and an extremely bad luck work against her. Despite that, she keeps trying, and manages to maintain a positive attitude despite the many problems she has. Katia has a big problem with alcohol. If she has even a drop of it, she blacks out and both times she had it, she came back to her senses in a bed, after having slept with an Orc the first time, and with a necromancer the second.

Katia has regular nightmares involving a King when she's sober, which seems to be part of what caused both her alcoholism and fear of royalty.

She wasn't raised around other [[khajiit]] and as a result has trouble socializing with other members of her species. Even non-khajiit remark that she seems unusual.

*First appearance: [http://www.prequeladventure.com/2011/06/476/]
*Species: [[human]]

A Soldier Of The Imperial Legion, or "Asotil" for short is an unnamed soldier who takes fighting crime very seriously. He has an extreme respect for the law, going as far as voluntarily imprisoning himself at one point. On the other hand, while he does understand social norms he doesn't feel a need to abide by them, does things like interrupting a dinner party to dump a bunch of dead bandits in front of the Countess.

== History ==

O'Shea Jackson, Sr. (born June 15, 1969), better known by his stage name Ice Cube, is an American rapper, record producer, actor, and filmmaker. He began his career as a member of the hip-hop group C.I.A. and later joined the seminal gangster rap group N.W.A (Niggaz Wit Attitudes). After leaving N.W.A in December 1989,[1] he built a successful solo career in music and films. Additionally, he has served as one of the producers of the Showtime television series Barbershop and the TBS series Are We There Yet?, both of which are based upon the films in which he portrayed the main character.

== Premise ==

Ice Cube is noted as a proficient lyricist and storyteller and is regarded as a brutally honest rapper; his lyrics are often political or socio-political, as well as violent and aggressive, and he is considered one of the founding artists in gangsta rap. He was ranked #8 on MTV's list of the 10 Greatest MCs of All Time, while fellow rapper Snoop Dogg ranked Ice Cube as the greatest MC of all time. AllMusic has called him one of hip-hop's best and most controversial artists,[2] as well as "one of rap's greatest storytellers".[3] In 2012, The Source ranked him #14 on their list of the Top 50 Lyricists of All Time.[4] In 2014, About.com ranked him No. 11 on their list of the "50 Greatest MCs of All Time".[5]

==Characters==
[[Image:Katia.gif|left|150px|Katia Managan]]'''Katia Managan'''
*First appearance: start of the comic [http://www.prequeladventure.com/2011/03/prequel-begin/]
*Species: [[khajiit]]
The main character. She has recently decided to start a new life. Unfortunately her lack of skills and money, and an extremely bad luck work against her. Despite that, she keeps trying, and manages to maintain a positive attitude despite the many problems she has. Katia has a big problem with alcohol. If she has even a drop of it, she blacks out and both times she had it, she came back to her senses in a bed, after having slept with an Orc the first time, and with a necromancer the second.

Katia has regular nightmares involving a King when she's sober, which seems to be part of what caused both her alcoholism and fear of royalty.

She wasn't raised around other [[khajiit]] and as a result has trouble socializing with other members of her species. Even non-khajiit remark that she seems unusual.
