Megaplex 7

Megaplex is a furry convention first held in March 2002 as Pawpet Megaplex. Megaplex 7 took place 28-30 March 2008 in Jacksonville, Florida, with 255 attending.

Megaplex's stated goal is to provide "a celebration of interactive arts and performance, with a primary focus on anthropomorphics and fantasy". Programming has focused on fursuiting, puppetry, improvisation, and other types of performance, including a capella groups in 2003, 2004 and 2006. In 2005 it hosted the Potpourri of Puppets, a regional puppetry event.

Attendance peaked at 387 in 2005, but had declined to 185 by 2007. Reasons for this include unpopular track scheduling in 2005, a disappointing hotel experience in 2006, and a forced move to Jacksonville compounded by a schedule conflict with Furry Weekend Atlanta in 2007. Attempts to reverse this trend included the introduction of a variety show, new rules permitting dealers to discreetly sell mature work, and a later starting date. (more...)

Featured comic
Circles vol. 1 (issues #0-4). Left to right, top to bottom: Douglas, Marty, Taye, Paulie, Arthur, Ken.

Circles is a gay-themed slice-of-life comic written by Stephen Domanski and Andrew French, with art by K-9.

The comic deals primarily with six characters inhabiting a house at the fictional address of 6 Kinsey Circle (a pun on the Kinsey scale, where a rating of six means that the subject is exclusively homosexual). The first four issues focus on Marty and his way out of the closet and towards his first love, while later issues develop the other characters.

The setting is Boston, in the early years of the 21st century. The first issue is dated Spring 2001, and each issue corresponds to one season of time, so the latest issue as of this writing, issue #7, is Fall 2002.

Circles is published by Rabbit Valley and is available through their website. There are seven issues of the comic as of January 2008, and one anthology collecting the first four issues. (more...)
