About



Animal Quills is a community for animal people to post their written works and thoughts - essays, poetry, experimental writings, musings, stories, fictions, calligraphy, etc. Those writings must be related in a way or another to animal people, experiencing one's animal, and such as. Although this place was admittedly created for the mundane - living or extinct - animal folk, we welcome non-fluffy otherkins who feel animalness is a strong part of their being - gryphons, phoenikoi, dragons, kitsunes, and other animal-type creatures from human folklore.

Please remember the focus of this community and try to stay on-topic. Animal Quills is not a community to debate theories on therianthropy/otherkin, terminology, past lives or the usual werecommunity topics ("have U told someone", "do you ph-shift", "look I'm behaving this way and this makes me a tr00 were", and so on and so forth). Neither is this a place for newbies and other people seeking answers or posting questions. This community is for real animal people who have things to say on the subject from their very own concrete experience - if you don't, refrain from joining. Discussions on the posted writings are encouraged.


Community Rules

  • Introduce yourself when you first post here so the other members know who you are. Tell us about your animal-self and what brings you here. If your profile or About page is well filled up, or if you have a website somewhere else, pointing to it may as well work.

  • You are encouraged to make your entries "friends only" (members only) for whichever reason you may have. As a side note, solely friending the community without joining does not grant the access to members-only entries.

  • Unless your entry is short, try to put your writings behind a cut.

  • Tags make life easier. Check out the tags' list before posting.

  • What is posted here stays here - no stealing or plagiarizing. If you'd like to do anything with the texts you find here, ask their respective author (not the admin).

  • If you aren't seeking for criticism, make it clear. Criticism must remain polite and constructive - being blunt is fine, being snarky isn't.

I'm not making membership "Invitations Only", however please:

  • Check out the Disinterests List to see what isn't appropriate discussing here.

  • Don't post essays expecting real feedback if you never give any; let's try to make this a real exchange, not something one-sided.

  • If you post emo poetry, newbies guides, snarky entries or rubbish things, expect the members to let you know this kind of material has nothing to do here. The moderators can ask you to leave if your participation isn't appropriate.

  • The moderators can edit the rules at any time if needed.


You will find a summary of all past writings here.
