Welcome!
I’m Arilin Thorferra, an author of furry fiction. My work always involves furries (anthropomorphic animals), nearly always involves giant furries, and often involves romance, adventure, and sublimated—or explicit—kinks. My work’s supported through my Patreon and book sales.
☞ I’ve written several dozen short stories ranging from science fiction to horror to comedy, with some recurring characters and settings running through them.
☞ I’ve also written several serials, ranging from related vignettes to full-fledged novels.
☞ And, I've written the occasional non-fiction article. (Which is to say, I have a blog.)

September 2025: I attended two cons over (American) Labor Day weekend, sort of: Megaplex in Orlando and Digital Villainy Summit (DVS) online. I’m not sure if the physical logistics of having chosen an overflow hotel that wasn’t within walking distance of the con made Megaplex a nonstarter for me, or if I just wasn’t in the right headspace, but I definitely had more fun at the online one—and wish I’d set aside more time to just be present there.
After taking a two-week break on Mus Numena I’m picking it up again and I hope back on track for weekly postings. My review of Fairy Tales is up, and while I plan to review another novel for September, I’m not sure what it’s going to be yet! Part of me is tempted to review Charlie Jane Anders’ very queer new book Lessons in Magic and Disaster, but it’s not even furry-adjacent the way Lili Saintcrow’s Coyote Run was, so tune in to see if I find something else or just say “what the hell” and review it anyway.
Speaking of DVS, I had a piece of flash fiction in the con book called “Tilt-Shift,” and you can read it here, now, too. (It’ll be on Fur Affinity eventually, too.)
