Merry Christmas, everybody! (Art by Cally, Stealthy, Foxfire, and me)

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Earlier this month, I uploaded a version of the above drawing without characters and asked whether you would be interested in adding your fursonas to create a furry Christmas card. Thank you to everybody who participated – Cally, Foxfire, and Stealthy. Special thanks to green_copper for providing their private collaboration tool for this project and to Foxfire for giving it a boost on the Mastodon side of the Fediverse. It brought me so much joy to see people add their sonas, and I hope the result will bring you just as much joy!

Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I hope you have a wonderful holiday time, or just a wonderful time in general, and get to spend time with those you care about, whoever they may be.

On a private note

Joining the furry fandom is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I found a community of encouraging, kind, and funny people animals who make me smile every single day. Similarly, I’m actually happy that “the other website” had its little API disaster because otherwise, I wouldn’t have found the Fediverse and this lovely, furry place within it. I probably spend too much time here, but that’s okay because I enjoy spending my time here, in this small corner of the internet that’s full of awesome people. Thank you for making this place so special; thank you for being you.

“Oh heck, I completely forgot about this and still want to add my fursona!”
You can! Sure, the intention was to have the final card by the 25th, but if you’re a day or two late, who cares? You can still add your sona the same way as before.

“What about licencing?”
This image is released under a CC-BY licence, which means that you can practically do whatever you want with it as long as you credit the artists (see below).

“What did you say about a collab tool?”
@green_copper@kbin.earth made a really cool tool to collaborate with other people on the internet. It’s even open source!
