This morning, the postman — or rather: postwoman — was ringing at my door and gave me an envelope.
In case someone reads this who's not familiar with the European furry fandom: one of the highlights of each year's Eurofurence convention is a so-called pawpet show, a puppet show for (almost) grown-ups. I'm honoured to be allowed to contribute to that show as a stagehand and occasionally supporting puppeteer for the fourth year now.
...that I didn't write about my parents visiting me last weekend. They arrived on Thursday evening here (gave me plenty of time to clean up my place *ahem*), spent the Friday in the Old Town of Nuremberg while I was at work and afterwards we visited the Frankonian Beerfestival -- which is actually an oversized beer garden in the moat... But the beer was good and the mood quite relaxed.
I'm on TV!
This year, Mephit Mini Con was a blast, despite of all the stress the days before. As bigbluefox already mentioned, some of us took part in a recording session with a German TV team to capture some fursuit action and interviews on Thursday (more on this later, when I've seen the actual report), which meant that I had to arrive in time. I feared that this would be near impossible, as Reesa, Eisfuchs and BlackDragon where travelling with me and the A9 from Bayreuth to Nuremberg was closed due to an accident for several hours. But everyone arrived in time, we even managed to stuff all luggage, including a complete electronic drum kit and a guitar, into my car without having something or someone leaving behind...
At last I was in the mood to write another short story. Of course about transformation. Given that I finished it at 3 in the morning I think I'll let it rest for a couple of weeks and read it again then. If I still like it then, I'll put it on lykanthrop.de, otherwise it goes right to the drawer with all the other stories that don't work the way I hoped. However, I think I'm getting a bit better at descriptions and characterization. I'll see in a couple of weeks...
Okay, lets jump onto the bandwagon.
