More storm warnings and new books

[altivo]

Severe thunderstorm watch here all afternoon and evening. All we got was a little spattering of rain and a lot of clouds, though. I guess central Illinois got plastered with the tornado warnings and heavy rains. It looked very impressive on the radar about 3 or 4 pm

Well, as I said, Sofa's output is not huge. I have no way of knowing how large their backlogs or slushpiles might be, nor what their editorial and selection process is.

A lot of furry fiction manages to get out through regular publishers. The general audience stuff (non-erotic) appears everywhere. Transformation and science fiction stuff comes out of publishers that regularly deal with those specialties. Werewolf stories seem to be almost as hot as vampires now. Even Harlequin Romances have been releasing stuff in that vein and also with Lora Leigh's erotic romances have gotten into the human-animal hybrid field. (By the way, I recommend Leigh's book Megan's Mark for those who like adult erotica. Lion-human and coyote-human genetic experiments...)

Gay stories and comics, like Leo Magna's Fur-Piled might just as easily have made it to print through Alyson or another gay-oriented house. So Sofawolf does have competition. I suspect they are pretty conservative about their decisions, as everything I've seen with their imprint is of extremely high quality.

Not to say there isn't room for another furry publishing firm if you've a mind to give it a try. Printing and binding is probably cheaper than ever now. Distribution is the difficult and costly thing to tackle.
