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.)

Current projects

June 2025: May was one of those quantum months that existed in a simultaneously good and bad state. I’m continuing the Mus Numena serial on Patreon and it’s basically moving into the second act, but I’m also falling behind. This month there’s going to be at least one skip week (this week, in fact) as I try to catch up.

I won’t lie—part of the delay stems from time management. I was unemployed for all of 2024 on through the first quarter of 2025, and I live with an elderly parent who’s making more demands on my time. Now I have a full-time contract that should run at least until fall, which is great, but it feels like I have much less time to write now than I did the last time I had full-time employment. I’m confident I’ll get it balanced out, but it’s rocky for now. (Oh, if I could just retire early…)

However! Part of the “delay” also comes from finalizing The Turning, my new novel, which should be out from FurPlanet next month! As part of the release, I’ve finally added a Books page to the site, covering not just The Turning but also Saida & Autumn and Goddess, my two other books available from FP.

And, it’s worth mentioning here: next month I’ll be at Anthrocon in Pittsburgh, and I should be on several writing panels. Watch my BlueSky and Mastodon accounts (linked below) for more details on that!

I’m pretty sure that after Mus Numena is finished, I will sleep for a month start plotting the Korps Universe story I’ve mentioned before. I also have a few vague ideas for Halloween stories…

Lastly, while I missed May’s furry book review, I just managed to get one out for June. I may double up this month or the next, depending on how things go!
