		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;I found this consistent with his wolfish instincts &#8212; heading to a place more natural than the house above, for one, but also his discomfort with running away:&#160; a wolf has a clear territory they&#039;ve marked, their continuity, and it would feel wrong leaving it.&#160; The only time wolves do that is if they are starving &#8212; or if their pack exiles them.&#160; It&#039;s the worst place to be:&#160; outside the boundaries.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Looks like I&#039;m going to have to go to up my advisory for sexual content at WFG and PU.&#160; ;-)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Strangely, WR is the straightest story I&#039;ve ever written.&#160; Okay, that&#039;s not saying much &#8212; I&#039;m not what you&#039;d call &quot;prolific&quot;.&#160; But Jason from Distance is gay, for instance (hasn&#039;t really entered the story, yet, but he is &#8212; though I probably shouldn&#039;t really talk about it as a real story while there is only one chapter and a vague plan).&#160; The narrator from Dajoën is bi, at least, but maybe a little more.&#160; To date, Tiergan&#039;s been straight, though I have been leaving his human sexuality up in the air.&#160; They&#039;re definitely sterile in their human form, so I have wondered if they&#039;d view their human sexuality as entertainment, more than anything else.&#160; Don&#039;t know if I&#039;ll ever have cause to nail that down.&#160; We shall see, I guess.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;=D Love, love LOVE talking to you Vercin!&#160; I am familiar with the Kinsey scale and can say that I have some definite bi-tendencies (or pan/poly, if you allow for Steff&#039;s kind).&#160; I thought you meant bi as me being male. :) BTW, I can identify both a woman who is beautiful in the sense society says and beautiful by what I say.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Furry has too broad a connotation to discuss here, but if you define a furry as wondering how hot it would be to spend the night with a guy who could change back and forth&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.&#160;then yeah, I am&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.&#160;Twould put a new spin on doggy style.&#160; OH NO YOU DI&#039;INT&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;heh heh, yeah I did. XD&lt;/p&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;teehee&#8212;do a quick google on the Kinsey scale. The basic premise is that almost nobody identifies as entirely heterosexual or entirely homosexual, but that they fall along a range of what they enjoy. Can you identify an attractive woman when you see her? Not just what Hollywood says is ideal, but what you like? It&#039;s not a question of gender OR sex (yes, those can differ too) but orientation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rephrasing: I don&#039;t think anyone but a few &quot;are&quot; or &quot;are not&quot; a furry. For most people, the question is &quot;How much furry are you, and how much non-furry&quot;. I love rl animals in the Platonic sense, not the sexual one&#8212;I can view furry porn without offense but without attraction, but if a woman wants to wear fox ears, I&#039;m OK with that. Am I a furry? Are you? This can&#039;t be answered without a clearly-delineated definition of &quot;furry&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I could tell that you were joking but I responded in kind :D And now I can tease you that someone who reads MToMU (and possibly ToMU) should NOT make a double error like saying you&#039;re not bisexual because your gender is female ;) I&#039;m a basically pure heterosexual male boy. But I know a story with a bisexual male girl-elf.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Lol&#8212; I am not sure where the slightly bisexual comes in as I am very female. of course, you all have nothing on which to base my gender.&#160; :)&#160; The furry comment  I tossed in as an aside because I have a weird sense of humor that doesn&#039;t come off as funny to many other people.&#160; If you read MToMU&#8212; I guess it&#039;s kind of like Marlot&#039;s :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chris&#8212; I agree with you about WM.&#160; Both WR and WM are like ethnic dishes with spice; the background flavor base is there, but the flavor enhances the dish by being subtle.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;However, to facilitate you two in your race to the bottom, here&#039;s a stock photo Sarah has tried to convince me to use for WR ads:

&lt;p&gt;Personally, he isn&#039;t my idea of Tiergan, so I&#039;ve resisted; however, you two feel free to have your fun.&#160; :-P&lt;/p&gt;
