Arilin Thorferra: Furries Larger than Life

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. You can read dozens of free short stories, serials, and articles right here; my work’s supported through my Patreon and book sales.

July 2026 news

June likely seemed quieter from the outside than it was for me! I took the month off from the Patreon, but I spent the last part of May and the first part of June working on a 10,000-word story, “Swim Day,” that introduces my first shark character. That’s going to be a four-part serial on the Patreon, and will show up on my website and Fur Affinity in August or September.

And, after that, I went to the Ad Astra “Repeat Offenders” workshop, an informal residential workshop for past attendees of Kij Johnson’s Novel Architects workshop. I went to this workshop in 2014 with furry author Kyell Gold (and other non-furry writers!); my novel Kismet came out of that, and honestly, I owe my ability to do novel-length writing at all to Kij and her co-instructor Barbara Webb. This time, in addition to finishing up and editing “Swim Day,” I outlined—and got about 15,000 words into—my next big project, a mystery novel that I’d cheekily describe as “Phyrne Fisher in Zootopia”. This one feels sort of big, not in the word count sense but in the expanding-the-audience sense. ( I would love to be able to spend all my time writing the way Kyell is able to, but I need way more sales income to pull that off. Capitalism, etc. etc.)

The one thing that did get finished and published in June: a review of A Rodent of Unusual Size, Becky Cascane’s delightful growing mouse adventure.
