Huh. Seems like outlining vague shapes in nebulas and placing cities where the brightest stars are is a pretty decent way to start drawing a fantasy map.

A picture of a red nebula in space with a black outline drawn around some of its clouds to make a possible outline for a landmass. Black dots have also been made on the brightest stars within the outlines.

Just got home from seeing Hope, that new Korean monster movie. What an absolute blast, omg. Go see it. The less you know beforehand, the better.

Movie poster for the movie Hope, which shows a woman aiming down the sights of an assault rifle and some sort of monsterous mouth full of teeth coming down behind her from the top right corner of the scene.

Nearly 100 pages in. God, Rukis's books are so wildly good. #FurryLit #Booksky

Oooo, interesting question. Probably the world of The Reclamation Project: Year One edited by John R. Robey. It's a solarpunk anthology world with an optimistic outlook and a lot of technology that borders on magic. It even inspired a story of mine: www.shilohskye.com/post/the-way...

The cover for the Reclamation Project: Year One by John R. Robey. It shows a guy in future armor looking over the ruins of a dilapidated, sunken city. A leopardess with a giant wrench looks out at the city with him. There is a floating city in the background.

18) Do you like historical books? Which Time period? Oh yeah, I love seeing how furries function in any time period. Rukis's books are all wonderfully history-inspired, and the anthologies by the Furry Historical Fiction Society are fantastic. I also love The Dry Spell by Ryan Loup-Glissant.

Cover for the book Off The Beaten Path by Rukis, which shows an anthropomorphic bobcat with a drawn bow and arrow. Behind her are an anthropomorphic wolf with a 18th century rifle and an arctic fox. They are in a forest setting.

The cover for When the World was Young by the Furry Historical Fiction Society, which shows a bunch of anthropomorphic animals around a fire telling stories in a prehistoric structure.

The cover for The Dry Spell by Ryan Loup-Glissant which shows a glass bottle of whiskey with a mysterious gold fumes swirling around it, an anthropomorphic wolf investigator whose hand is transforming into something gnarled and scary, and an anthropomorphic doe in a speakeasy-style dress

17) Top 5 children's books? Uhhh... I have a few that might work well for younger audiences! Tales of Scales by Michael Mielle The Resonance Tetralogy by Hugo Jackson Axinstone by J.F.R. Coates The Tower and the Fox (middle grade) The Zyearth Chronicles (middle grade to young adult)

Shiloh Skye @shilohskye.com · 06/08/2026

12) Did you enjoy any compulsory high school readings? I credit The Lord of the Flies with showing me that a book can do more than just telling a story. It made me obsessed with symbolism and thematic depth. But Fahrenheit 451 was then and is now my favorite classic. It's extremely relevant today.

Cover of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, which shows a man made of paper on fire.

11) What nonfiction books do you like, if any? The closest would be Writer Ways by Tim Susman, which is Kyell Gold's recently released craft book. I highly recommend it if you're a writer, because it has some extremely helpful advice and novel writing exercises.

Shiloh Skye @shilohskye.com · 06/08/2026

10) Do you have a guilty fave? So before I got into furry fiction, I read The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss, and I sorta fell in love with the prose. But man, you can tell the author is REALLY overly proud of his main character, and there's a fair bit of problematic stuff in there too.

Cover of the book The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, showing a guy in a cloak looking out over a field with a single tree in it.

9) When do you tend to read the most? In the evenings and on weekends. I try to read before bed, though I often fall victim to YouTube shorts. I also listen to audiobooks and The Voice of Dog podcast on my commute to and from work. Sometimes I sneak some reading in on work from home days, too.

8) What is the first book you remember reading yourself? Oh my god I found it. Apparently it was Marvin Redpost: Kidnapped at Birth. I remember it because my first grade teacher gave it to me to see if I could move ahead to reading "books without pictures."

The cover of the book Marvin Redpost: Kidnapped at Birth? by Louis Sachar, which shows a kid with a crown on his head and his arms crossed.

7) Was there a series or book that got you back into reading? Technically The Animal in Man: Violent Mind by Joseph Asphahani got me back into reading. I read a few normie books that weren't hitting after that. Then the Fire Bearers trilogy by Ryan Campbell turned me into a furry fiction devotee.

6) What books have you read in the last month? It's been a slow month for me because I've been in the proofreading mines, but so far: The Morning After edited by J.F.R. Coates Science Friction by Kyell Gold Game of Life by Rob MacWolf and Alex Vance

The cover for the book The Morning After edited by J.F.R. Coates, which shows a "orangescale" image of an anthropomorphic bat sitting on the edge of their bed with a scared expression

5) Where do you buy books? Why there are all sorts of lovely furry fiction retailers out there! Give em' a look! I also use @libro.fm for some audiobooks because Audible has become cartoonishly villainous. Seriously, if you use Audible, you might want to check on what they just stole from you.

3) Favorite Genre? Furry Fiction Fantasy Books like Wolf of Withervale by Joaquin Baldwin, God of Clay by Ryan Campbell, and Elancia Chronicles by Leilani Wilson and Emma Carruthers are my jam. Add a hint of history, like Hearttheft by Rukis or The Tower and the Fox by Tim Susman for bonus points.

Shiloh Skye @shilohskye.com · 06/08/2026

2) Top 5 books of all time? This was agony. The Fire Bearers Trilogy by Ryan Campbell Heretic by Rukis Game of Life by Rob MacWolf and Alex Vance The Dry Spell by Ryan Loup-Glissant Drone by Bill Siracusa ... Far Flung by Utunu A Chronicle of Lies by Abraham Carson Indigo Nights by Leonardo Urso

1) Book you've read the most times? I think I've read both Wolf of Withervale and Masks of the Miscam by Joaquín Baldwin three times. First was for fun, second was for the audiobooks, and third was to prep for proofreading the rest of the saga.

The cover of the book Wolf of Withervale by Joaquín Baldwin, showing a man in fantasy clothing looking at glowing strands of light while wearing a dark wolf mask.

I finished listening to Game of Life by @robmacwolf.thevoice.dog and @khaki.dog and I'm immediately reading it again in print because it feels like a story where you'll notice a lot more on a second read. There are so many highlights worth annotating, too. What a book. #FurryWriting #Booksky

The first furry fiction showcase is tomorrow (Friday) at 10am in DLCC - 310-311. See you there! #Anthrocon #FurryWriting

Take a magic battle from a book or movie. Multiply it by 10. Add a teaspoon of Final Fantasy 7. A dash of Gundam. A pinch of Halo. Maybe some Edge of Tomorrow. Stir well. That's this book. Needless to say, it's a fun one. #FurryWriting #FurryLit #Booksky

Be advised, the prohibition era belongs to the furries now. All historical depictions of prohibition era United States must now exclusively feature animal people. Violators will be reeducated. Thank you.

Oh my god it actually happened. Thank you so much to everyone who nominated Rapture for the Cóyotl Awards. <3 If you're in the Furry Writers Guild, I'd be honored to have your vote for the win. It would be absolutely amazing. coyotlawards.com/2025-coyotl-... #FurryWriting

It took a few years, but I've finally read enough books to fill up all three shelves of my bookcase! Feeling accomplished. #FurryWriting #FurryLit #Booksky

A brown wooden bookcase with three shelves filled with a little under 100 books. There is a plushie of a dog holding a sword in its mouth (Luther from the Red Lantern series by Rukis) sitting on top of the bookcase.
