AboutWe are open to urban fantasy/contemporary fantasy /cross-genre/paranormal romance authors with novels under contract or released. At this time, we are limiting membership to traditional mainstream print publishing, no p.o.d. or self-publishing. To clarify, refer to the SFWA guidelines (http://www.sfwa.org/org/qualify.htm). Traditional print novels that match these criteria are eligible for membership. We do not, of course, require that you be a member of this organization; we are simply using their guidelines for simplicity's sake.
Authors of graphic novels/manga/comics/screenplays are also welcome.
Membership dues are $6.00 a year.
There is no fee, of course, to be a Watcher of the community.
To become a member, PLEASE email Jordan Summers (jordan AT jordansummers DOT com) & tell us a bit about yourself, who your publisher is, and your text(s) BEFORE clicking the request membership button, or you will be rejected by default. If you are under contract but your book isn't out yet, please include in your email a link to your deal notice in Publishers Marketplace, or an Amazon/B&N preorder link, if available.
JOINING vs. WATCHING
Anyone with an interest in urban fantasy/contemporary fantasy /cross-genre/paranormal romance is encouraged to WATCH. "Join" means you are a published author in the above cited categories & can originate topics. "Watch" means you reply & read the entries on your f-list.
Agents and FFF
At this time, we also welcome AAR-affiliated pro agents of urban fantasy / paranormal romance novels to join us as "honorary" members for special guest blogs. Please email FFF admin at: frostlight1 AT yahoo DOT com for details.

Message about the community: Fangs Fur and Fey consists of a large group of members and watchers. As with any large group, opinions vary, and sometimes they vary widely. We are not Borg; there is no hive mind of agreement on anything here (except perhaps that we all love books :). So, if a member or watcher has made a comment that someone finds offensive, please remember that it is not reflective of the entire community, but only of the person making the comment. We've tried to go the censorship route to keep certain individual opinions in the community from offending others, but that has proven to be as problematic as letting the offensive comments/posts stand.
So, moving forward, FFF admin is keeping all posts/comments in their original form. If someone is offended by them, they are welcome to take that up with the poster/commenter. Again, opinions will vary, and politely-worded disagreement is as welcome here as words of agreement on a topic or comment.
We are making this new stance public so it is understood that indivudual comments/posts are NOT reflective of the FFF community as a whole, but are merely a particular poster/commenter's opinion.
Thank you,
FFF Admin
FFF HISTORY (by Jeaniene Frost)
On September 27, 2006, the first FFF post went up. For those of you who don't know the story, one day in September of '06, Melissa Marr was bored (probably the last time she's been bored) and was chatting online with Caitlin Kittredge and me. Melissa said it would be fun to have a forum where we could chat about writing/reading with a couple other people. Melissa named it Fangs, Fur, and Fey, since between the three of us, that's what our novels represented. Then Melissa made the LJ community. We started reaching out to other UF and paranormal romance authors--intending there to be a "dozen or so" members.
The community has grown far beyond what we ever expected.
