Unsheathed: K.m. Hirosaki And Kyell Gold

Kyell and K.M. discuss making characters more real, making characters based on real people less real, and the real problem with the Star Wars prequels. Also: Doctor Who geekery!

K.M. Hirosaki reads one of his early stories, where a pizza delivery fox gets much more than a tip. Kyell helps, and not as the voice of the fox.

Savrin, of Knotcast and Vox Zerda, joins our hosts in a discussion of reading out loud, character perspective, and a certain amount of yaff yaff.

Kyell and K.M. discuss how much simile and metaphor is too much, how inspiring a well-written book can be, and Kyell tells his secret to "great" books.

Kyell, K.M., and foozzzball devote an hour to going over three paragraphs. In detail. With almost no blow job references.

We talk about more editing, we catch up with Pyro, and read an intriguing offer from our friend Kandrel, who sets his nationality straight for us.

Do you edit as you go along? How do you stop from obsessively editing your own work? How do you get someone else to edit it for you? Kyell and K.M. tackle thorny editing questions.

A listener likes a story despite its obvious flaws. Kyell and K.M. discuss with Not Tube our expectations around furry fiction and its potential.

We get feedback from a non-writer who enjoys listening to us (thanks!), discuss the relationship between TS and written erotica, and give a listener some ideas for his story. Also, we come up with an idea for the live show!

Does your hot roleplay session need to be properly grammatical and punctuated? We discuss and ask your opinion! Lots of calls for your e-mails, so get typing!

Is it okay to change a character's species in your head as you're reading it to one you like better?

Kyell flusters the heck out of Hirosaki-san with a surprise naughty story about him! And Hirosaki gets to read his own lines, off a screen, one at a time as they come up...it's fun.

With foozzzball Skyped in, we talk about podiobooks, publishers, and whether to publish your first novel. Also the phrase "Eep squeep muthaf***er" is uttered.

Kyell reads a short story from the Forester Universe.

We discuss the importance and process of editing, and answer questions about our species, how we met, and what non-fiction we might or might not write.

Writing process: how do you write when uninspired? When do you write? We answer these and other burning questions...

We take questions from an audience that consists mostly of JadedFox, talk about costumes and popular perception of furries, and Kyell finally answers the question: Why are you wearing that hat?

K-Tech gets our Skype on, with a call-in from B-Hop to award a baller name to the winner of our contest! We talk about when you think you're done before you want to be--in a writing sense.

B-Hop, the basketball-playing bunny, talks about his Furry Basketball Association, gives your hosts and tech-savvy wolf baller names, and lets us play a game!

We go through more questions, including one personal one, read a few more character introductions, and make more 80s references. Next week: B-Hop joins us!
