I think the narrative quality of furry cybersex in SL is due to most of furry history having been on online text based games (MUCK, MUSH, MOO, etc). I’ve never really been involved with the furry community, but I was involved in the larger MUSH community. Since these games exist exclusively to do community narrative, they encourage strongly a certain kind of interaction. (Otherwise you may as well have been on IRC.)

One other thing I find interesting is that until I discovered cybersex, I hadn’t seen this “second person narrative” style that you quote in your article. (That is, when I’m writing, using third person for myself and second person for my partner.) It does seem to ratchet up the intimacy of the scene, for whatever reason.

Hey, Rynna. Sounds great. I’ll definitely send you an email as soon as I get some time to explore!

Oh, and I’m guessing you can actually see the contact e-mails listed here, just not others, so if you do want any further information/help/whatever about Taps, I definitely get e-mail notice much quicker than refreshing here, since my multi-day delay was from accidentally closing out the firefox window and then being unable to remember what it was I closed until just now >.

Oh, you’d be fine. The only real hard rule is no humans, but demihumans such as elves are fine. If you want to investigate it further, it’s fairly painless to register, and I’m round there rather often, so if you wanted a tour guide I’d be interested in showing you around =)

Rynna, so I’ve been reading about Tapestries. It sounds like a great place (any community that wants to make a safe space for BDSM play is my kind of spot :). But it also sounds like it’s entirely furry–which is totally fine, except I wonder if a furry newb like me (to be honest, I’ve never role-played a furry myself, only played with ones) would be welcome… Any thoughts as someone who’s been?

Tapestries, huh? I’ll definitely check it out!

Well, I suppose I should clarify – Personally, I find nothing wrong with naughtiness, given I quite enjoy it myself ^^

What I was more meaning is that so often the public face is generated by the far wing of a community; for perhaps a better analogy, it’s like saying the religious right exemplifies conservatism as a whole, or that the ALF or some such represents all of liberalism. While most are fine, they aren’t the ones who are going to generate news =)

Of course, Bonnie, if you are looking round for furry-ism sexplay done via text, I’d recommend checking Tapestries out if you haven’t already; for the most part, it’s rather rich in detail and foreplay, which is what makes it so fun =^.^=
