Hey glad to have you aboard.
If you mean what the writing group is about:
I dont know... we're just a couple of furries getting together to bounce writing ideas off each other and get some constructive criticism on our work
If you mean what my story is about:
Warning - It's not a furry novel. Although i will start a full on furry novel when im done with this one, Im SO excited. Also, being a war novel, it's a little... bloody, to say the least.
Back Story: In 2924 The United States has entered its sixth bankruptcy. The government was abolished and the land was divided up to the four super powers of the time, Germany, Japan, China, and Mexico. Once they got their land, they fought an endless war for the other country's lands. Russia enters the war when China invades Russia in an attempt to capture their land and gain war money. Soon after, China surrenders to Russia. Japan takes over China and has secretly enlisted their military power under the Japanese flag. The armies used former U.S. civilians as dummies to test their war weapons on. Russia felt this was "immoral" so they started saving civilians and are now more or less fighting for the better of the former U.S. Other than that it's a bloody free-for-all between five countries with civilians scattered in the mix fighting for survival.
My Story: My story starts up with a fifteen year old girl named Sam in the year 3021. They are in Southern Nevada, currently controlled by Mexico. This area has suffered multiple contaminations by the nuclear and war testing. So much so that several creatures have sprung up that aren't "normal." She, her father, a genius named Shaun, a newcomer named Marc, an excellent sniper named Grant, and her german shepherd war dog Liberty are a band of survivors fighting to stay alive. Her mother died years ago, during a German bombing run. Her brother ran off to fight with the Russian resistance. Her father and Grant die very early on, she assume it was the Mexicans that ambushed them. Marc tells them that her father, who was also their leader, planned to move north toward the Northern Russian Territories. They don't know why, but they don't question it. Along the way, they meet another group of survivors moving north and join up together. Anthony, their leader. John, Anthony's childhood friend. Jessica, an overlyexcited women who enjoys war and bloodshed. Kevin, Jessica's boyfriend as well as for seemingly no reason despises Sam. And Matt, a fourteen year old kid who loves the main character from first sight, but Sam is extremely annoyed by him and his affection.
Throughout the course of the novel, everyone dies but Marc, Shaun, Sam, Matt, and Liberty. Then Sam walks in on Marc cutting Shaun's neck. There she finds out that Marc is a U.S. civilian working for the German government as an undercover Russian. While spying on the Russians, a russian operator hired him to kill Sam's father and all known associated. Unknown to Sam until the end, her dad was a secret underground resistance fighter and sabotaged the armies several times. They found out who he was and went after him. Marc was supposed to kill Sam, but got too close to her and wouldn't do it. this proves fatal, because she goes after him and kills his.
I know this is long, but i didn't even hit all the points, unfortunately. My story is a complicated mess with a lot of characters and turns. I had to make a lot of people because i was killing them off. the first half of the story is moving north and fighting against savage animals and the occasional small group of soldiers. The second half (after Marc kills Shaun) is more focused on Sam's blind rage agianst Marc and desire to kill him, which costs her Liberty's life. Like I said, i have forty pages done and they just met the second group of people. I was inspired to do another war novel on Anthros vs Humans. I think it's a bad idea to undertake two novels at once, so i'm just jotting down the ideas and focusing all my free time on writing the first novel, which will end in a cliffhanger as to provide room for a sequel.
