Ricadonna: A little tidbit of information added

[[Image:SveaFursLogo.png|200px|right]]
'''SveaFur''' is an organized online community for [[wikipedia:Swedish|Swedish]] [[furry]] fans.

==History==

In early 2006, a group of Swedish furry fans were displeased with the options available for Swedish furries to socialize with one another. The only active line of communication was the [[IRC]] channel [[SweFur]] and some felt that they wanted more than an IRC channel to go by. So Ratiries got the idea to start "SveaFur", together with Ricadonna, who volunteer to host the website.

SveaFur soon started to gather interest and growth. After five months of operation, the membership totaled around 30 individuals, and several [[Furmeet|furmeets]] have been held in the cities of [[Wikipedia:Lund|Lund]], [[Wikipedia:Malmö|Malmö]] and [[Wikipedia:Gothenburg|Gothenburg]], arranged by SveaFur members.

Members have also come together to create their own [[Wikipedia:World of Warcraft|World of Warcraft]] guild, which is open to any SveaFur member, and which has an own subforum on the main SveaFur forum. It used to share a forum with [[Anthro World War II Art Bunker]], now closed.

==SveaFur and Swefur==

Despite some discouraging from selected SweFur chatters<ref>http://community.livejournal.com/swefur/8629.html</ref>, SveaFur hopes one day to affiliate itself with the IRC-channel, and merge then together. This seems rather unlikely for the time being.

==SveaFur Meets==

* Sep 22, 2006: Three members went to see [[Wikipedia:Over the Hedge (film)|Over the Hedge]] in Malmö. Another five members had expressed interest but were unable to make it. This meet was arranged by quoting_mungo and Naifu-chan.
* Oct 20, 2006: Five members met up for an evening out in Lund. This evening ended up being spent mostly at [[Wikipedia:Subway (restaurant)|Subway]]. One more member had originally intended to come but couldn't make it. This meet was arranged by quoting_mungo and Naifu-chan.
* Nov 24, 2006: Gaming meet in [[Wikipedia:Staffanstorp Municipality|Staffanstorp]], arranged by Ricadonna, with several other furs bringing additional games and snacks. This meet doubled as a birthday party for Ricadonna and Ratiries, and had eight furs in attendance, three of whom had travelled from [[Wikipedia:Stockholm|Stockholm]].
* Nov 25, 2006: Planned excursion to Laser Dome in Malmö, arranged by Ricadonna and Grisha. This meet was cancelled due to the gaming meet lasting late the night before.
* Dec 30, 2006: '''Christmas Dog Scraps:''' Planned Christmas [[Wikipedia:Potluck dinner|potluck dinner]] at quoting_mungo's residence, arranged by quoting_mungo and Naifu-chan. This dinner was cancelled when too few furs signed up.

Anthro World War II Art Bunker

2007-06-18T13:59:38Z

Ricadonna: Added a little more information, and the annoucement of closing.

'''Anthro World War II Art Bunker''' (also known as "'''AWIIAB'''") is a website and gallery dedicated to artwork related to [[Wikipedia:World War II|World War II]] and [[anthropomorphic]] characters.

* '''Addresses''':
** '''Website''': http://bunker.frenchvanilla.se/
** '''Forum''': http://forum.frenchvanilla.se/ (AWIIAB section now closed)
* '''Founder''': [[Ricadonna]]
* '''Administrators''': Ricadonna, [[Renarden|Grisha]]
* '''Ran from/to''': August 10, 2006 - 18th June, 2007.

The main goal for the archive is to bring together anthro-fans of all kinds, to either comment and put favourites on images or upload artwork themselves. It also hopes to remove the alienated feeling between [[Nazi Furs]]/[[Soviet Furs]] vs. rest of the [[fandom]], and fans of other forms of anthropomorphism.

Aside from of pictures of anthropomorphic characters in WWII [[Wikipedia:Uniform |regalia]] and battle scenes, the gallery hosts images of civilians and real life historic figures in anthropomorphic shape, living and working in everyday life situations during the same time period (circa 1939-1945.) Material of an adult content material is allowed, but in a special folder in a user's personal gallery.

According to the site's disclaimer, the following is not allowed or/and supported: Any political ideology or movement ([[Wikipedia:Antisemitism|antisemitism]], [[Wikipedia:Dictatorship|dictatorship]],) war, [[Wikipedia:Genocide|genocide]], [[Wikipedia:Great Purge|purging,]] or any recognized crime against humanity.

The short name "AWIIAB" stands for the website's name, minus one W since it was found unnecessary. The letter for two (II) can be interpreted as symbolizing the existence of two W's.

In June, with the withdrawal of both Ricadonna and Grisha, and the inactivity of the archive, the archive was shut down.

According to [[Pounced.org]], '''Hyenas''' (or Hyaenidae) are tied for the [[List of most popular phenotypes|27th most popular phenotype]], with less than 0.3% of all furries there registered as hyenas.
[[Image:Hyenachart.JPG|right|frame|Upper row: Spotted (Laughing) Hyena, Striped Hyena. Lower row: Brown hyena, Aardwolf]]
Hyenas are a group of [[carnivorous]] [[Wikipedia:mammals|mammals]]. There are four main [[species]] of hyenas:
*[[Wikipedia:aardwolf|Aardwolf]] ([[insectivore]]);
*[[Wikipedia:brown hyena|Brown Hyena]] ''L. Parahyaena brunnea''/''L. Hyaena brunnea'' ([[Wikipedia:scavenger]]);
*[[Wikipedia:spotted hyena|Spotted Hyena]] ''L. Crocuta crocuta'' ([[pack]] [[predator]]); and
*[[Wikipedia:striped hyena|Striped Hyena]] ''Hyaena hyaena'' ([[Wikipedia:scavenger]], [[Wikipedia:omnivore]]).

== General Information==
The Hyena family is usually seen down upon by the majority. Early on, the Hyenas were seen as evil manipulative animals whom had the ability to imitate human speech and lure out the poor victim to later eat it. The laughing noise of the Spotted Hyena was found incredibly eerie and supported the beliefs of the native Africans that they could speak human language. The Striped hyena was believed to have magic and healing powers by eating it's brain and wearing their fur during rituals.

When the hyena was discovered in the medieval times, it was found categorized under several odd names. The Striped Hyena, for instance, was reffered as ''Water Wolf'' because of its wolf-like apperance and often showing up at the coasts lurking for food even in the water.

Also characteristic for the hyenas are their manes. However, the Spotted Hyena have no significiant mane but more of tuft along the neck and have slightly round-shaped ears. The Striped Hyena, Brown Hyena and Aardwolf make their manes erect to increase their size when frightened, scared, excited, threatened or aggressive.

But the most-known trait of the hyenas is their incredible strong jaws that can crunch bones and glass with ease, and thus they can eat all of their prey, kill prey with an instant bite, and find tasty treats when rooting around in garbage.

While the Striped Hyena appears in large areas like North Africa, East Africa, Middle East, South Asia and parts of China, there only exist about 2,000 specimens and they are decreasing quickly. In the 1900's, the Striped Hyena could be found in areas like South Europe, Turkey, and all the way up to south Russia. The reason why they have decreased is that the farmers blamed them for killing off their animals even if they usually stayed away from farms and humans. The Brown Hyena sits in the same boat with the Striped Hyena, but for them the status is even more critical; there only exists about 200 specimens, all of them living in South Africa and the majority in the Kalahari Desert.

== Hyena facts ==
*Despite their apparent similarity to [[canines]] (and speculative similarity to [[felines]]), hyenas branched from the evolutionary tree over 7 million years ago, prior to the [[protocanid|protocanid]] and [[protofelid|protofelid]] families from which modern dogs and cats are descended. Hyenas make up their own [[Wikipedia:taxonomy|taxonomical]] family ''hyenidae'' and genetically are most closely related to the [[civet]] and [[mongoose]].
*The Spotted Hyena (''L. Crocuta crocuta'') is also known as the Laughing Hyena and is the most common and populous species of hyena, covering most of Africa.
*Spotted Hyena females are difficult to distinguish from males, due to strikingly similar genetalia, including females' false scrotums. This has led to many [[anthropomorphic]] Hyena [[characters]] who are, or are assumed to be, [[hermaphrodite|hermaphrodites]].
* While the Striped Hyena (''L. Hyaena Hyaena'') is mainly a scavenger, it also eats small rodents, eggs, tiny lizards, fish, berries, fruit and the occasional vegetable. On the dark side, the Striped Hyena has been known of attacking young humans in India and eating them. However, it is believed that it is, just like in many other animals' cases, a lack of other edible food. Usually, the Striped Hyena is very shy and withdrawn around humans.

== Hyenas in Animation ==
*[[Shenzi]], [[Banzai]] and [[Ed]] in the animated film by [[Disney]] are villains and henchmen of [[Mufasa]]'s brother [[Scar]]. They are supposed to be Spotted Hyenas but show traits of the Striped hyena. (such as slanting back, long necks, visible mane and long pointed ears) The film has gotten critique for comparing hyenas to a plague or a burden of nature (when Scar took over with the hyenas the land turned grey, dark, empty of food and miserable) and comparing them to nazis (the Be Prepared Marching-scene is heavily based of SS-marches that were held in the former Third Reich of Germany)
*In [[The Little Junglebook]] cartoon series by Disney, a Striped hyena shortly appeared in an episode escaping from a forest fire together with the other jungle creatures. It was not shown to be villaineous.
*In [[Noah's Island]], an European animation series, four hyenas lived on Noah the [[Polarbear]]'s moving island. They appeared to be Striped Hyenas save for one of the cubs who had spots. They were not villains through and through but could be a bit of troublemakers and occasionaly picked on the resident [[poodle]].
* In "Simba - King of the Jungle", an Italian animated series heavily based on Disney's movies, mixing The Lion King, [[Jungle Book]] and [[Bambi]] all in one, had instead of "Tabaqui the [[Jackal]]" Tabaqui the Striped Hyena, who was cowardly, a scaredy-cat and the only one looking up to [[Shere Khan]] and was the only lackey, but lacking of courage. He made no real impact on the story, besides sucking up to Shere Khan, stuttering, getting smacked and spying om [[Simba]] and Bambi.

Ricadonna:

The Nazi Fur post incorrectly states that I and Evol were involved in "fursecuting" (LOL!) the Nazi Fur group, which is entirely untrue. The person in question regarding the badge is Pochi, which was made clear from the start. Pochi was referred to as the "Diaper Nazi" after a series of incidents at MFM which led to undue drama and the individual urinating in a person's car after his diaper overlowed.

I did not draw the Nazi Fur Babyfur Room Party image, although I did take a picture of it and post it to my journal.

Whoever wrote this misconstrued the facts and made them up to support their claim and further promote drama.

How is NaziFur a 'paraphilia'??? [[User:206.106.120.18|206.106.120.18]] 23:49, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)

:Probably because of the person who asked for [http://encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Image:Anime_furry_nazis.jpg this picture] (which is the very epitome of non-work-safe - you have been warned). --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 02:45, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)

If Nazifur counts as a paraphilia, so would Sovietfur? In the end, all counts as paraphilia. I would more say Uniforms are a paraphilia, no? ;3

:Mmm, those cute Sovietfurs . . . the girls who ''like'' to say 'da!'

:I agree that it does seem to be more about the uniform. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 03:19, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

You bet I do... I mean. Hmm? ;P

But yeah. Uniforms are a paraphilia, since it is a rather wide fetish. And most nazifetishists I know have their focus on uniforms rather than it being nazis. :]

Renarden

Ricadonna: /* In Character */

'''Renarden''', or "Renny", real name being Marcus, is a Swedish furry fan born 1983 and has been around the fandom since Autumn 1998. His first persona was Renarden the Fox-Wolf, whose name is mixed with the French word for "Fox" (Renarden) and the Swedish suffix -en that have the same meaning of "the". So in conclusion: The Fox. The character was mainly used as a simple online image while on the IRC-channel SweFur.

However, in Renarden changed his persona to Grigorij "Grisha" Sergejevich Renardenskov, a Karelian Beardog, so he still uses "Renarden" as an online name, or for short "Renny".

[[Image:Grishan.JPG|right|frame|Grigorij, doodled by Ricadonna]]
== In Character ==
Grigorij is a [[Wikipedia:Karelian Beardog|Karelian Beardog]] from the russian town of [[Wikipedia:Arkhangelsk|Archangelsk]] where in his later years reaches to the rank of 1st Captain in the Soviet Fleet. But for some reason, Grisha suddenly decides to become lawless and joins a team of submarine pirates controlled by Yekaterina Aleksandrovna Rezamovskaja. For the most, Grisha is found drunk or solving problems using his fists. During a while in the story he have Yekaterina's little brother, Dimitri Aleksandrovich Rezamovsky, as an assistant in the crew until his disapperance. Grisha never returns to Soviet Union land as he is on the wanted list of the NKVD/KGB.

On the bad side, besides bad drinking habits, he suffers from the old-man syndrome of being a lech. He is also blind on the left eye.

He have two daughters and a son: Anna, Lora and Yurij, who are triplets.

== In the fandom ==
For a short while, Renarden uploaded to his VCL Archive but nowadays hardly ever draws or writes. But he still enjoys anthropomorphic artwork and stories.

He is a member and co-creator of the [[Soviet Furs]] group and also moderating it. He have a heavy interest in Soviet Uniforms, History, Music, Propaganda Posters and also speaks some Russian.

Nazi Furs

2006-05-19T01:56:52Z

Ricadonna: /* External Links */

[[Image:Nazisplatter.jpg|right|frame|Nazifur Logo]]

'''Nazi Furs''' is a [[furry]] community who harbor an interest in [[wikipedia:wwII|WWII]] era [[wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] for historical, militaristic, strategic, living history, reenactment, or fetish reasons. Their first solid presence was through the establishment of a [[Livejournal]] community in March of 2005.

Nazi Furs are not a hate group per se, nor do they support hate groups of any kind, even though spousing interest in such a polemical concept has been a center of controversy since the groups' inception. Rather, this group seeks to further the understanding of [[wikipedia:Reich|Hitler's Germany]] through study and discussion.
