Cosmic Lotus is in contention for the Ursa Major Award for Best Anthropomorphic Novel for 2018. After missing out for the past few years, I'm quite chuffed about getting on the ballot this time. If you feel it deserves it, go vote for Cosmic Lotus, pretty please!

Check out this short story by Airy Words that shows how First Contact between the Cosmic Lotus and the Stellar Federation may have happened. In a devastatingly bold move, the Equians gain a huge advantage by... well... you'll see if you go read First Contact Protocols.

I was quite nervous about how the Ursa Major Awards presentation Ceremony would go off, but to my great relief, things went pretty smoothly. Jay Stoat was the MC as he's a much better public speaker than me, and Logan Husky added some professional touches in the AV department. The event went for about half an hour, and I proudly boast that it was the best ever. Thanks to FurDU and its staff for hosting it. Video of the event should be available soon, but you can check out the results on the

Let me tell you about my week. Driving home from work on Monday, my "Engine Overheat" alarm came on.

I investigated under the hood and found radiator fluid leaking , and a thorough check showed that it was not a burst hose. I let the car cool down before trying to drive off again, but it rapidly went back into the red again. I gave up and called to have
