Hope everything falls into place. </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=176#post-489 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 22:07:01 +0000 ToriBelliachi 489@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>Hopefully not long now. All editions of the Furtean Times now redirect to the new site. Just setting up the forum there - most discussion is about FT, and seeing as everything else here is closed then may as well start anew on the new space. </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=176#post-488 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 19:20:31 +0000 TheChainedWolf 488@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>Interesting.

To save time with creating the new edition on a short notice, it's going to be very simplistic in design and ALL news, media, and non-ConFuzzled reports are being pushed to Issue 7 - which is on the new system.</p> <p>Then again, Issue 7 comes out at the start of August. =P </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=15#post-481 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 09:12:00 +0000 TheChainedWolf 481@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>The webcomic <a href='http://www.badlydrawnkitties.com/store/'>Badly Drawn Kitties</a> has now opened a store.

I have too many commitments elsewhere to actively maintain the whole range of services from Furry Media; thus only a few will remain.</p> <p>These are The Furtean Times, Furry Media Forum (primarily for discussing Furtean Times goings on) and in a way HORNET - although that was for my own personal use anyway and initially wasn't supposed to be public at all. </p> <p>As I said, I have found my place where I can do what I've enjoyed so much, but do it with much less pressure or requirement to do it alone. From now I will only have three main projects: The Furtean Times, <a href='http://www.myfursona.com'>MyFursona</a> and <a href='http://www.wikifur.com/'>WikiFur</a>, where I was recently made an administrator.</p> <p>It's been fun, but all good things must come to an end I suppose... </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=15#post-478 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 08:45:54 +0000 ToriBelliachi 478@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>And now have fully authorised permission to enter ConFuzzled - with entourage - to film stuff, photo stuff and interview people. </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=15#post-477 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 07:33:35 +0000 TheChainedWolf 477@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>Something that will be of interest - Thomas K. Dye's webcomic "Manifestations" will be returning on 24 June. Unlike the previous run, this time the webcomic will be free to view.</p> <p><a href='http://www.newshounds.com/d/20080607.html'>Link</a> </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=174#post-476 Fri, 30 May 2008 07:43:18 +0000 TheChainedWolf 476@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>I am on AIM. My screenname is chainedwolf1, although personally I cannot stand IMs. One of the rudest inventions ever created. You know, you trying to do something on your computer, then all of a sudden your expected to start a conversation with someone from out of nowhere.</p> <p>Still, I don't mind using them if I have to. </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=174#post-475 Thu, 29 May 2008 22:06:46 +0000 ToriBelliachi 475@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>Between Monday 30th June and Monday 7th of July. Will generally be looking at how long it'd take to get all the ConFuzzled stuff completed.</p> <p>Currently in talks with CF media relations over final preparations, by sheer coincidence the furry photographer, comedian and rather good friend of myself <a href='http://www.silentwulf.com'>Silentwulf</a> will be in Manchester with his entourage. Considering a collaboration with him and <a href='http://www.faelprojects.co.uk/'>FAEL Projects</a> (maybe) to try and ease stress on our current two-man convention team by "outsourcing" our video and photography duties.</p> <p>As for the new system being built, creating it in a sectional style is proving immensely hard. I think that articles, editorials and such can be published on a monthly basis, however keep the "up-to-date" things rolling - such as news and media - to keep some interest in the 'zine between editions.</p> <p>Also, Chained Wolf, would be helpful if I had some contact details (MSN and such if you use IM clients) to make it easier to hold longer discussions on particular topics. </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=174#post-474 Thu, 29 May 2008 16:44:51 +0000 TheChainedWolf 474@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>I'm less keen on a rolling news system, because there is less chance of people reading articles, whereas in the current system all the articles come together and therefore there is a greater chance that people will read all of the stories. After all, it is unlikely that people will visit the website every day.</p> <p>By the way, has a date been put forward for Issue 6's release? </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=174#post-473 Tue, 27 May 2008 08:20:48 +0000 ToriBelliachi 473@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>Okay, a little more important. Turns out that making a system that publishes itself monthly is a right royal pain in the arse. So, I might do a rolling system. </p> <p>This is like changing FT altogether, there won't be editions or deadlines, everything would just be published as and when it is ready.</p> <p>Any thoughts? As this will then mean we won't be a fanzine per se, but like a rolling news thing with some tagged on reports. However it will make things a lot more open ended for contributors. </p> <p>I especially want to hear your views on this Chained Wolf, as your contributions have made up an integral part of the growth of The Furtean Times since you joined the team, and I value your input. =D </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=174#post-472 Sun, 25 May 2008 12:08:02 +0000 ToriBelliachi 472@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>Currently thinking about porting over all the content from previous FT issues to the new system, it's more integrated but the older issues lose their charm, and the first two editions would be hell to port over (thanks to the whole images thing)</p> <p>I may also move plans ahead and get the new system out in time for the ConFuzzled edition, instead of afterwards. </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=15#post-471 Thu, 22 May 2008 09:35:24 +0000 TheChainedWolf 471@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>This may be something of interest. You may remember that in Issue 2, we mentioned that there was a furry fandom thread on the QI website.</p> <p>Well, according to the new synopsis of the next <a href='http://www.amazon.co.uk/QI-Annual-2009-John-Mitchinson/dp/0571244149/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1211446960&#38;sr=8-2'>QI annual</a>, it mentions fur. Whether or not it will mention furries is something that will not be known until it is published. It may well be best to report it after it is published. </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=15#post-470 Mon, 19 May 2008 08:21:41 +0000 ToriBelliachi 470@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>Ursa Major Awards have been announced - <a href='http://www.ursamajorawards.org/UMA_2007.htm'>http://www.ursamajorawards.org/UMA_2007.htm</a> </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=174#post-469 Wed, 14 May 2008 19:28:26 +0000 TheChainedWolf 469@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>It all sounds rather interesting.</p> <p>By the way, I hope to have my articles sent to be the end of the week, although I may want to wait until after the UMA are presented. </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=174#post-468 Sat, 10 May 2008 15:27:44 +0000 ToriBelliachi 468@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>No, I won't be stopping it anytime soon, HOWEVER I may change the concept. Particularly in terms of how it's run.</p> <p>Currently The Furtean Times is a quarterly set of articles, all published at once around a particular theme (or tries to be anyway). These issues tend to be rather large and each comes with a unique design.</p> <p>HOWEVER, this method is very time consuming, and my life is getting to the point where I won't have anywhere near as much free time as I need to work on FT and other projects (eg, MyFursona.com)</p> <p>Thus I propose, following Issue 6, that the Furtean Times runs on a simple blogging platform. This will allow such new features as commenting, article ratings and whatnot while still facilitating the whole concept of a magazine.</p> <p>Added pluses include that authors will be able to post articles online themselves (although they will still need to be approved by the editor) and make comment on others.</p> <p>The main downsides are that the issues will likely lose their unique designs (unless I manage to facilitate this with a little PHP magic of my own).</p> <p>The schedule may also change, making the Furtean Times a smaller MONTHLY edition instead of a quarterly. We will likely carry the same content as we currently do.</p> <p>To sum it up...</p> <p><strong>Pros</strong><br /> * Quicker<br /> * Allows comments/ratings<br /> * Authors have more control over final articles<br /> * Integration into main Furry Media website<br /> * Easier organisation of articles by topic, author, etc.</p> <p><strong>Cons</strong><br /> * More restrictions on design<br /> * Will probably take some time to set up (although I have plenty of it starting in a month or two)<br /> * Probably one or two more</p> <p>Any thoughts on this furry peoples? </p> <p>(I'm also considering including more multimedia content, video reports, podcasts etc? But those ca nwait for another time.) </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=14&page=4#post-466 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:05:07 +0000 ToriBelliachi 466@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>STRIKE! </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=15#post-465 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:00:39 +0000 ToriBelliachi 465@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>Damnit!
