'''Electric Keet''' is the pseudonym of '''Jessie Tracer''', a member of the furry fandom. She lives in the [[Wikipedia:Seattle, Washington|Seattle, Washington]] region and works as a freelance music composer. Jessie Tracer / Electric Keet is known primarily for her breadth of creative pursuits.

== Fursona ==
Electric Keet is not a [[fursona]] but merely a creative, slightly absurdist pseudonym. While the name is not intended to connote any particular species, the "Keet" portion does originate as a variant of the word "parakeet."

In specifically furry contexts, Jessie (sometimes '''Jessie-Tiger''') most often portrays herself as a large, somewhat [[anthropomorphic]] [[tigress]] with greyscale fur, the species of which she refers to in a tongue-in-cheek fashion as the "Canadian grey tiger." Frequently, she will include accessories or even the full appearance of being of a similar style to the programs in the film [[Wikipedia:TRON (film)|TRON]] (Disney, 1982) complete with violet glow.

Previous to this, she was most often seen instead as '''Jason-Roo''', a male "Canadian grey kangaroo." This is especially evident in the cover art to her album ''Frozen Hex.''

== Works ==

=== Design ===
Jessie Tracer / Electric Keet is credited as the designer of many printed publications within the fandom, including:
* the anthropomorphic literary magazine [[Renard's Menagerie]]
* the con booklet for the [[TSA-Bash]] in 2002 and 2003
* the con booklet for [[All Fur Fun]] in 2007
* the pocket program and program guide for [[Anthrocon]] from 2003 through 2006
* the pocket schedule for [[Further Confusion]] in 2006

=== Prose ===
Jessie Tracer is credited (sometimes as Jason Tracer) for several short works of fiction, including:
* "Mute City" (appears in the [[Transformation Story Archive]])
* "The Spirit" (appears in the [[Anthrocon]] 2005 convention book)

=== Music ===
Electric Keet is an electronic composer. Though very few of her works have anything to do with anthropomorphics, and those which do are furry in name only, they are well-known for their prominent release at conventions and listener base within the fandom. Her album releases and re-releases are:
* ''Beyond It All: version one point zero beta'' (1996)
* ''Frozen Hex'' (1997)
* ''Beyond It All: version one point zero beta two'' (1997)
* ''Beyond It All: version one point zero beta three'' (2004)
* ''On the Game Grid'' (2004)

She has also composed soundtracks for several small videogames, both homebrew and published.

'''TFNet''' is a small [[IRC]] network which serves the members and others relating to the [[Transformation Story Archive]]. The network was founded in January of 2001 after the Undernet IRC network was disabled by a major denial-of-service attack.

There are two primary channels on the network:

* '''#TSA_Talk''' was the original channel on the network, and originally started as a gathering point for members of the [[TSA-Talk]] mailing list. It has expanded into more general transformation talk, but with less emphasis on role playing.

* '''#Transformations''' is a secondary channel created with lesser restrictions on role playing content. Otherwise it serves the same purpose of the original channel.

Many of the users on the network are members of both channels, and over time the distinction between the two has faded until they are nearly identical.

Other channels do exist on the network and not every channel is Transformation related. There is no restriction to Transformation related content on the network. For example, '''#TSA_Tech''' was created to try to remove the technical talk from the main channels, although this has not proved to be very effective.

The service is provided by the Lapinian Embassy (formerly Menagerie Internet Services).
