Not of which I'm aware. I publish REFRACTIONS, which is ALBEDO specific (and
has a circulation in the "low 4 digits," as it were) but people not interested
in ALBEDO don't read it. I'd have said YARF! came close to being what you
want, but they haven't put out an issue in a while. They _are_ working on
another one, though.
     (BTW, I also publish LOW ORBIT, which isn't furry. It's general SF.)

      And while we're on the subject of REFRACTIONS... here's Update 1.1,
at last.

REFRACTIONS UPDATE V1.1

January 3, 1992


REFRACTIONS #2 TO SHIP IN JULY, 1993

As everyone who read issue #1 probably knows by now, REFRACTIONS #2 will
ship in July, 1993. This means two things:


CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Yes, we're accepting submissions, and doing so right now. I want first
drafts of everything on or before April 30 - preferably before. In fact,
January would be good...

The same guidelines apply. If you don't have them, send a SASE for a copy.


SUBSCRIPTION PRICES ANNOUNCED

Yes, you can subscribe this time for real - well, for two issues, at any
rate. As promised, the rate is a little cheaper. Here's the price set:

   TWO ISSUE SUBSCRIPTIONS (issues #2 and #3):
      United States: US$7.00
      Canada: US$9.50
      Europe and Australia:
         Surface      Surface w/cardboard  Air        Air w/coardboard
         US$12.00     US$14.00             US$16.00   US$18.00

Single-issue rates are now cover price, US; same as before, overseas.
We may be able to accept drafts on foreign banks this time. More on
this to come soon.


NETWORK ADDRESS REMINDERS

     At work: dark@microsoft.com
     At LOW ORBIT (New way!): lorbit!editor@microsoft.com
                         (or) lorbit!editor@uunet.uu.net

     The first LOW ORBIT address is faster if Microsoft's mail system
     is working. If not, the second will be faster instead.

                       (Message 1 of 4)

*Wake up!*

*Mmmph.*   My eyes feel as though they are sewn shut.  It  is  so 
peaceful, just resting here on this warm furred pillow.

*Wake up and get off me.*

*Mrrmble.*  I am warm.  Softness surrounds me.

*GET OFF MY BACK, YOU LAZY T'TARLECHEN!*

*Mmmphhrmble.*  A pleasant tingling sensation in my lower...

*THIS WILL WAKE YOU UP, MY LITTLE T'TARLICH*

*YEEOUCH!*   There  are four daggers in my side.  I try  to  roll 
away,  but  there is another sharp pain lower down.  I  am  still 
attached.  "That was not..."

*Be  quiet*   Shako reaches back.  She holds my mouth  shut  with 
extended claws and strong fingers.

*That hurts!*

*Don't talk, or it will hurt more.*

*Why wake me?*

*Because, my little t'tarlechen, I have to get back to work.  And 
this  is very difficult to do with you sleeping on my back.   Get 
out  a tube of that muscle relaxant I know you have hidden  some-
where, and get yourself out.  NOW!*  Sh'a'ko relaxes her hold  on 
my muzzle.

She is clearly not in a mood for discussion; whenever she  starts 
referring to me by 'that part of my anatomy' I know it is time to 
mend fences, and quickly.  I bare my neck.  *My humble apologies, 
Freelady,  for  disturbing your harmony  through  my  inattention 
and...*

"Stop  laying it on so thick, T'S'Pa.  Just get the tube,  loosen 
things up and get out."

I do not care for the muscle relaxants; they are messy, and  they 
tend  to  stain.  But her voice is harsh, and carries  that  cold 
sound  of command that I know all to well.  Even this male  knows 
when  to remain silent and do as he is ordered.  A  few  moments' 
work,  and  my Ship-sister and Captain is free to  go  about  her 
business.  "Will there be anything else, Freelady Hunter-Captain-
and-Owner-aboard Shal-Amar Ko?"

Hi everyone I'm back!  If anyone replied to any of my last messages
here - sorry, I didn'ty  see them.  As for private email- 
I'm backed up 100 messages deep.  It'll take a while.

Sin e ben seems reluctant to actually get on the computer 
system now (mostly due to time constraints), it looks like I may
end up as on'line rep for Antarctic.  And boy, have WE got lots
of news to put out!

I'll post a report on it all soon.  Later, guys.

Cheers,

PS.  Pick up Furrlough #6, in shops this Thursday!

I bow as I close the door, careful not to drip any more blood  in 
Sh'a'ko's quarters.  Turn towards the medical lab; if I'm  lucky, 
the  good Freelady Healer Mikaal-Tiran Isa will tend  my  wounded 
nose  without  any of her usual acid comments.  Notice  a  strong 
smell in the corridor, reminiscent of cinnamon.  Turn...and  find 
myself engulfed in a furry whirlpool.

"Tespa WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR NOSE!"  Tyel-Kara San starts patting 
me down, checking for any contusions or broken bones.  Under some 
circumstances, the attention might even be pleasant.

"Freelady Engineer, I have ship's business to attend to.."

"Fuck 'ship's business' -- you're going to Medical NOW,  mister." 
She  sweeps me off my feet into her arms.  Then the scents on  my 
fur hit her muzzle, and her nose wrinkles in disgust.

"I cannot help smelling of our good Freelady  Hunter-Captain-and-
Owner-aboard, Freelady Engineer Tyel-Kara..."

"I  know that, silly.  But I don't have to like it; you know  me, 
I'm  not very good at hiding 'within the walls'.  And I  do  wish 
you'd stop with the 'Freelady Engineer' crap.  At least when it's 
just the two of us."

"When is it ever so, Freelady Engineer?  Even if we were 'alone', 
the monitors are still there."  I point to one of the ever  pres-
ent  shipboard monitor cameras; for safety and security  reasons, 
they are never turned off.  "Would you give our Freelady  Hunter-
Captain-and-Owner-aboard reason to vent her jealous irritation on 
this humble male?" I try to look my most helpless; not  difficult 
to do, with blood from my nose pooling on my chest fur.   T'K'San 
is  fairly easy to manipulate; she has a strong  maternal  drive, 
and though I am several decades her senior, she still regards  me 
as a 'helpless male'.

T'K'San  kicks at the door to Medical.  "Open the  n-blanked-dash 
door, M'T'Isa.  I've got a bleeder!"

A  moment's pause, and the door slides open.  M'T'Isa looks  down 
on  the  two of us.  "What's the pup done  now?   Sassed  Captain 
Shal-Amar  Ko again, Purser?"  Lips are pulled back from  carnas-
sials;  the  good doctor is obviously not in one  of  her  better 
moods.

Bow  my head.  "This humble individual disturbed the  harmony  of 
the Freelady Hunter-Captain-and-Owner-aboard. If the Freelady..."

T'K'San interrupts, "Doctor, he needs to have that nose looked at 
now.  If you don't want your sandbox to flush in reverse for  the 
next  two  eight-days, you'll fix him up NOW!"  Lips  are  pulled 
back to show all her teeth and her fur is bottled out.  There  is 
a  low growl to her voice.  I close my eyes and pray  to  Istiru; 
when females fight, it is the male who suffers.

M'T'Issa  sighs, bows her head and bares her throat.   "Well  you 
needn't get all upset over the matter, Ship-sister.  Put him over 
there on that pad and we'll see what we can do about that  lacer-
ated nose,"  Few of the People will irritate their ship's  senior 
engineer, and none will do it if they are sane.  Thankfully,  our 
ship's medical officer is at least sane.

It  is the matter of only a few kir for the good doctor  to  stop 
the bleeding and sew up the cuts.  "That will be another fine set 
of scars to show, Purser."  Her nose wrinkles in disgust.

*It is not that I intend to create disharmony, Freelady Healer* I 
'cast.  My nose is filled with congealed blood; better the  minor 
insult  of  'casting  first to a female to the  major  insult  of 
splattering the my Ship-sister's equipment, and fur, with blood.

"No, but it seems to arise nonetheless."  Lips only perfunctorily 
pulled back to show carnassials, M'T'Issa finishes examining  me.  
"Nothing  missing or defective beyond a few eights of a  unit  of 
blood,  a few scraps of tissue, and common sense.  But  you  were 
already  missing the last when you joined this crew.  Oh well,  I 
suppose for a male you're not all that bad," she sighs in  resig-
nation.

"Good.   Ship-brother Tal-Sora Pa, if you would be so kind as  to 
accompany  me back to Engineering?"  There is a hopeful  tone  in 
Tyel-Kara San's voice.

There was that scent, reminiscent of cinnamon, in the air  earli-
er.   *As the Freelady Engineer wishes,* I 'cast with bowed  head 
as I leave Medical.  *But the Freelady  Hunter-Captain-and-Owner-
Aboard has already given me an assignment, which I cannot delay.*

T'K'San follows me out; there's a slight whine creeping into  her 
voice.  "Not even for a bit?"

Turn and briefly brush muzzles with the Freelady Engineer.  *Were 
this humble male to disobey a direct order from his Captain,  the 
punishment might well be more severe than a mere three new  scars 
on his nose.  Does the Freelady insist that this one be  directly 
insubordinate?*  I try to look my most vulnerable.  Hardly diffi-
cult with my front bloodstained and my nose clogged and cut.

"No..." she wilts.

*Perhaps some other time, when ship-duties are not so  pressing.*  
I  bow, and back away down the corridor.  Before I can reach  the 
airlock,  T'K'San turns away.  Freed from convention, I  turn  my 
back on the departing vixen and leave through the lock.

Down  the  docking  ramp and onto the cold hard  surface  of  the 
landing  field.   And off to my new assignment; freedom  was  ob-
viously too good a thing to last.

Ahem.  I can't *believe* I'm answering this, but... tinysex is, in a nutshell,
a simulation of sex acts in a virtual environment, such as a MUCK.  In the
original context, I'm sure it referred to characters on FurryMUCK roleplaying
sex.  Clear?  (:3

That's a tricky one to answer seriously, and I'd rather not take an approach
of levity.  Just this once.  (:3  I presume it has something to do with the
perception of the respective 'personalities' of the species, and comparisons
with the 'personalities' of human genders-- basically, stereotype-matching.
But the mold *has* been broken, both ways (I offer the Thundercats as one
example-- anyone got a handy one the other way?)

Hmm. Furrymuck is a MUD, or multi-user dimension.  If you've ever played text
adventure games, like Infocom's, it is sortof like that except there's no
puzzle and there are up to 100 or so other people online, talking and hanging
out.  I compare it with those text games because there are commands such as
"look" and "move," which move you around the imaginary world and let you look
at things and people. There are also the "say" and "pose" (often shortened to
" and : ) commands which let you talk and 'pose' things to other characters
in the room.  You can also write your own description by typing @desc me=text.
There are two ways of getting a character; one is to e-mail lynx@netcom.com
and ask for one; make sure to include a character name and password, and
your e-mail address. The other way is to log on to furrymuck as the guest
character and page a wizard and ask for one. (i.e. page lynx=Hello, can I take a look around? I might want a character here.) "page" lets you talk to a
character who is not in the same room as you.  To connect as guest, telnet to
furrymuck's net address w/port (i'll e-mail these to you... i don't have them
handy) and type connect guest guest after you get the nifty logon message.
Beware, though. Mudding in general is addictive and you might find yourself
staying up to all hours chatting with people from all over the globe... :)

Enjoy, and hope to see you on Furrymuck!

She  stands, stretches, and begins her evening exercises.  "As  a 
matter  of fact, Tespa, there is."  She continues her  exercises, 
waiting for me.

I  sit up on my haunches, neck bared and gaze respectfully  down-
ward.  When I am 'respectable', she pauses in her calisthenics.

"The  communications officer that you mentioned in  your  report, 
the Groundling not the Shipborne one.  She might be 'turned'..."

"But  Freelady, she's a young officer, and likely to be  of  very 
little..."   Sh'a'ko is like lightning; I am on my backside in  a 
second,  my  nose beginning to bleed from the 'caress'  of  three 
razor sharp claws.

"Don't  interrupt  me again, 'rider', or it will mean  more  than 
just  a few added scars on your nose."  Sh'a'ko growls,  standing 
over me, waiting.

I resume my earlier respectful stance.  Snort to clear the  blood 
from  my  nostrils.   "My humble apologies  for  disturbing  your 
harmony, Freelady Hunter-Captain..."  Muzzle deep in chest fur, I 
can see the blood staining my silver front.

"As I was saying, Tespa, this Au Ira Tau might prove to be of use 
to  the People of the Tiral; and she is only a Groundling,  after 
all.  Make her one of your little 'playtoys', and then we'll know 
everything  that crosses her console."  Sh'a'ko grins  displaying 
gleaming white fangs; not a pretty sight, to my eye.  "But  don't 
get any silly romantic notions, lest I enforce some of the, shall 
I say, less pleasant clauses of your contract, hmmm?"

"Does the honorable Freelady Hunter-Captain-and-Owner-aboard wish 
a  reply?"  my  eyes are respectfully towards  the  deck,  throat 
bared.  Sh'a'ko reaches down and lifts me one handed by the  fold 
at the back of my neck.

"The  'honorable  Freelady' requires your  obedience,  fluffbuns.  
Don't  get  any  flightly notions about this  bit  of  Groundling 
trash;  your brush is mine as long as you're under contract,  and 
that's another five Han-standard years.  You'll 'turn' her if you 
can,  and  if she's connected to any of the  Groundling  security 
services -- V'es Cha or Vitaak Karaan -- you'll kill her,  quiet-
ly.  We don't need any 'Hegemonic entanglements' right now."  She 
points me towards the cabin door.  "So go oil your traps and  get 
on to business."  She throws me towards the door.

I can land on my feet, normally.  But as she throws me, her other 
claw  adds a bit of delta-vee to my rump, and I land  unceremoni-
ously on my nose.  Blood on the decking, now.

"And clean that spot up before you leave, 'rider'"

"Yes, Freelady."  Careful not to drip more blood on the floor,  I 
use my brush to clean up what has already pooled there.  Best  to 
back out as quickly as possible, before she finishes her exercis-
es.

But, would this matter?  Hal Gurtner, Biff Henderson, Al Maher were
certainly all part of the "Late Night Team", but only because Dave
made them so.  While it would take awhile to get used to them, virtually
anybody could step into the roles they played.  (ie: straightman producer,
slightly goofy stage manager, sleepy stage hand)

What worries me a bit is whether the writing staff will be going with Dave.
"Late Night" with substandard writers could easily become a parody of
it's former self.

Further, as far as "retaining the format", I really expect 
"Dave's CBS Comedy Cavalcade" to be about as much like "Late Night"
as "Late Night" was like the morning show.  In other words, similar
(continuity from Dave, Paul, and whoever else comes along) but still
a NEW show.  (in fact, 10 to 1 that he will leave almost all of the
Late Night shtick at NBC.  If I had to guess, I would say the only
bits he might consider bringing with him would be viewer mail, and
the top 10 lists)

However, only time will tell...

Me too.  If they want to switch to a female announcer, I nominate
the Foul-Mouthed ChamberMaid.
