A small selection of my essay on New York City fursuiters was recently published in China’s Vision magazine in the May 2010 issue.
Earlier this month, I offered one young female journalist $100 to write a guest post for this blog. Out of nearly 50 story pitches, I chose Lauren Rae Orsini, 24, a Washington, DC-based multimedia journalist, geek blogger, and web designer who covers anime, geekdom, and fandom.

Glad to see that my story on fursuiters in New York City has been published by Epsilon Magazine in Greece. The magazine took some liberties with the images, by applying a strange graphic trick without consulting me or my agency.

It has created great disturbance in the furce in Norway."
