Welcome to our new home. Rumors of our demise are unfounded. We are still here and have every intention of sticking around. Feel free to peruse the story database, and contribute new work or offer suggestions to the authors. Drop by the Forum to chat with us. We don't bite (unless you're into that sort of thing.)

This is a special place dedicated to fostering anthropomorphic characters in literature and supporting the writers who create them. We strive to help each other grow in the craft. Expertise is not required; just honesty and tact. Feel free to post your stories, but expect mentorship. Remember, an honest critique is like a trip to the doctor's office. You sit naked in the cold with only a thin veil to protect your dignity. Sometimes you need surgery. Sometimes you get a shot. You really know you're in for it when you hear the rubber gloves snap. It can be unpleasant or even painful. If you're lucky, you get a sticker and a lollypop. We cherish the reader here too. Without readers, writers have no purpose. Your insights are the most helpful and are always encouraged, so please post your honest impressions. You don't need to know what 'passive voice' is in order to say 'Something sounds funny...' So, come on; jump in. Take a look around and enjoy a couple of tales. Then stop by the forums and share your thoughts.

This is the story of those misfits who do not even know how little they belong in a society that fancies itself the pinnacle of civilisation at the dawn of the 4th millennium.
