# Con
:novel:writing:furry:

Gonzo journalism piece about furry, maybe about FC?

* Mix in my history with furry
* Self-satire: me being head-over-heels for the fandom
* Social critique: furry and writing don't get along as well as they say they do; race to the top popularity wise (buying art, being artist/fursuit maker, having suit, etc); lauded as this bastion of sexual/kink liberation but dogged by purity culture; touted as get-rich-quick for artists, but way more complicated than that
* anagnorisis is me realizing maybe I need to stop writing furry for a bit
* Fiction is often the best fact: fictional friend met on the Uber to the hotel
