Rod O'Riley, fur


From Mickey Mouse to the Ninja Turtles, from Reynard the fox to Mudge the otter, from King Kong to The Lion King, science fiction and fantasy in all media have long had an association with Anthropomorphics -- that is, non-human intelligent beings, often based on earthly animals. For ease of spelling, we call them 'Furries' -- and they have an international fandom all to themselves, complete with fanzines, costuming, conventions, and websites! You can find out about all of them by dropping by the Furry Fandom Lounge. But that's not all! We'll also be having discussion groups on furry stories, art, and media, all presented in our well-known 'round robin' format, where the famous and the not- so-famous can all get a few words in. We'll be having artistic workshops with professionals, well-known fan artists, and cartoonists. We're even going to have gatherings for fans of particular animal types, be they wolf-ish, cat-ish, or even dragonly! (Yes, anthropomorphics includes all kinds, not just furry mammals!) Be sure to check out the printed schedule for activities in the Furry Fandom Lounge, or just drop by the Hilton and see what's coming up next.
