Unsheathed: K.m. Hirosaki And Kyell Gold

We help a reader be mean to his characters, talk about the importance of conflict, and discuss how to know what your story's going to be: short story? Novel? Screenplay? Comic? PODCAST?

We talk briefly about spelling and grammar checkers, confess our fan fiction sins, and greet a listener from far-off Oz!

Been a while since we talked about furry. We have questions about how to make stories more furry. Or less furry. Or how to make furry stories better.

Arcane secrets of writing: how do we spin stories out of our heads, and some discussion of editing. Plus more tangential rants than ever before! Also, a letter from a famous podcaster! And a special guest weasel!

Your intrepid hosts attempt to justify sex in stories and advise writers on momentum.

We meet our first non-human audience member, Kyell expounds on furry reaching the mainstream, and we play our first Unsheathed Pyramid game, courtesy of the magnificent K-Tech!

For the second straight week, K.M. geeks out, this time about D and D blow jobs. Before that, though, serious writing issues! World-building, film adaptations, and some other stuff.

Kyell and K.M. discuss making characters more real, making characters based on real people less real, and the real problem with the Star Wars prequels. Also: Doctor Who geekery!

K.M. Hirosaki reads one of his early stories, where a pizza delivery fox gets much more than a tip. Kyell helps, and not as the voice of the fox.

Savrin, of Knotcast and Vox Zerda, joins our hosts in a discussion of reading out loud, character perspective, and a certain amount of yaff yaff.

Kyell and K.M. discuss how much simile and metaphor is too much, how inspiring a well-written book can be, and Kyell tells his secret to "great" books.

Kyell, K.M., and foozzzball devote an hour to going over three paragraphs. In detail. With almost no blow job references.

We talk about more editing, we catch up with Pyro, and read an intriguing offer from our friend Kandrel, who sets his nationality straight for us.

Do you edit as you go along? How do you stop from obsessively editing your own work? How do you get someone else to edit it for you? Kyell and K.M. tackle thorny editing questions.

A listener likes a story despite its obvious flaws. Kyell and K.M. discuss with Not Tube our expectations around furry fiction and its potential.

We get feedback from a non-writer who enjoys listening to us (thanks!), discuss the relationship between TS and written erotica, and give a listener some ideas for his story. Also, we come up with an idea for the live show!

Does your hot roleplay session need to be properly grammatical and punctuated? We discuss and ask your opinion! Lots of calls for your e-mails, so get typing!

Is it okay to change a character's species in your head as you're reading it to one you like better?

Kyell flusters the heck out of Hirosaki-san with a surprise naughty story about him! And Hirosaki gets to read his own lines, off a screen, one at a time as they come up...it's fun.

With foozzzball Skyped in, we talk about podiobooks, publishers, and whether to publish your first novel. Also the phrase "Eep squeep muthaf***er" is uttered.
