Prairie Public radio interviews Furry author, Tempe O’Kun.
NPR broadcaster Prairie Public’s “Main Street” covers North Dakota news, arts, movies and books. They invited Tempe O’kun for an in-depth conversation. Hear the Furry author’s 23 minute talk on Main Street.
Tempe is granted a welcome level of respect. He’s introduced as an author first, college teacher and person, and then one of those Furries. The well-researched questions don’t bat an eye at the mix of “cuddly, steamy furry romance” presented in his popular SoFurry collection, or judge the hot fan-fic and porn at his FurAffinity page. Good. It skips non-issues to introduce the genre of furry (like expectations of character type: sly foxes, etc.) – and writing style chat that authors will want to hear.
Tom Broadbent’s “At Home With The Furries” photo doc update: Bhavvels Bunny.
In Five pro photographers advancing the art of furry documentary, I named “whimsy” as Tom’s signature approach. The carefully chosen fantasy scenes he presents show great storyelling. Tom’s blog updates never fail to impress – this week’s subject is Bhavvels. It explains Tom’s approach- “The setup:”
…should reflect the personality of the furry, but equally the personality of the person inside the suit. The two are interconnected in a very unique way, unlike in fact than any other form of cosplay I am aware of ( I’m prepared to be proven wrong of course)
It is in fact a collaboration, a trust between me and the furry. That relationship and theimportance of maintaining that bond may go some way to explain how protective I am of the project and the furries themselves.
