Officer Election Results
Voting has concluded in what we think may be the first actual vote needed for officer elections. 51 members voted.
The contested officer position was Markets Manager, with Scribbles Cheetah (incumbent) receiving 62.7% of the vote and Chase Anderson receiving 37.3% of the vote. It was actually a much closer race than it sounds, with the percentage going back and forth repeatedly and at one point standing (for a long time) right at 50/50. Congratulations to Scribbles for continuing as the FWG Markets Manager for 2025-26!
The other half of the ballot regarded expanding the guild’s membership requirements to include written work in other formats/media (i.e. not just novels, short stories, and poetry). Members overwhelmingly voted in favor of this, with 92.2% of the votes. We also received 33 thoughtful responses about the change, both positive and negative. In the coming weeks, guild officers will take all comments into account and discuss how best to implement the change to benefit guild members and potential members. I hope to post our conclusions sometime in June so that members can make comments and suggestions before the change is adopted formally.
Thanks to everyone who voted and commented!
It looks like I’ll be staying on as president for the next year, and I’ll do my best. Flash Kitterson has stepped into the vice president role and is doing a fantastic job already! Resolute will also be staying on as public relations officer and is, as always, doing a great job. Remember that the treasurer and Coyotl Awards chair roles are still vacant, so if you’ve been thinking of volunteering, you don’t need to wait for guild elections next April. Just let us know.
In other news–
For the horror fans among us, check out the Kickstarter for a planned horror anthology, The Deer Is Messed Up, which will be paying pro rates. It’s not a furry anthology but Scribbles checked with the editor and they will consider furry/anthro stories. It needs to meet its goal by June 4 for the anthology to happen, so pre-order your copy through Kickstarter and support small publishers!I’ll be back next week with the monthly newsletter!

Motor City Furry Convention has a new home for 2026
Yes it’s true Motor City Fur Con has MOVED from Ypsilanti, MI. to Detroit the full 35 miles
Yep! MCFC is moving to the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center in the downtown of Detroit.
We’ll have a lot of space available to grow into. Not to mention there’s a bit more parking available.
This move also brings some challenges, which we’ll detail in due time, but all of those things we can work through together! The first of which…
A new place, but also, a new time
Motor City Furry Con 2026 is shifting to a slightly different timeframe: February 13 – 15, 2026.
Yep, you can make MCFC your romantic get-away this year! Specifically those dates are…
- Friday, Feb 13 – Triskaideka fans rejoice. For everyone else: don’t worry, it’ll be fine.
- Saturday, Feb 14 – Everyone is spending a lot of time in their rooms for some reason. Probably playing video games. I don’t judge.
- Sunday, Feb 15 – If neither of those are your thing, it may be a good day to look across the river to spot a maple leaf as it’s Flag of Canada Day.
And since I know you’re going to ask, we unfortunately don’t yet know what the dates will look like for 2027 and beyond.
To some degree that depends on how 2026 goes. All we can do is work on making this convention a success and try to get into an even better position next time!
That February date kinda threw me off, but being in such a recognizable building in Detroit should make things a whole lot easier. I also expect an increase in attendance.

Calfurry Mascot Gets a Name
In case you missed our closing ceremonies the winning name for our new mascot was Rosie! Alberta’s provincial flower is the Wild Rose. Native to Canada, you can find this hardy perennial in nature as well as in gardens where it attracts pollinators and wildlife. “Rosie” defines our character’s tough spirit and love for nature.
