Having pokémon named after my characters is a really fun honor, since it means people want to think about my talking animal people when they're not even reading my books. : )

In this audio short by @tempowrites.bsky.social The Wind in the Willows has a modern twist, where Toad is obsessed with the latest gadgets (even if he doesn't understand them) and his friends Rat, Badger and Mole are all queer.

Reincarnating is tough and lonely. Either building intergenerational monuments or sharing knowledge, but trying not to accidentally start a new religion. After centuries of near misses, these two cats meet for coffee in "Every Nine Lives or So" by @tempowrites.bsky.social youtu.be/mW26At18nIo

REMINDER: Submissions for VoD #PrideMonth are open until the end of April.

If you haven't submitted something yet please get in touch.
The voice of dog is looking for stories and poems for pride month 2025. This coming June, in what has regularly been our biggest broadcast event of any given year, we want to again feature stories that show facets of the LGBTQ+ experience through a furry lens. Think in terms of "what story do you wish you had had, when first you were coming out?" Stories should be under 10k words. Poems may be any verse form. No minimum length for either. As ever, usual Voice of Dog standards apply: no promotion of bigotry, stories should end on a hopeful note, and must be your own words - ie no use of generative AI, no work you have commissioned, no characters not original to you. We want to feature as many different queer perspectives as possible. Submissions will be accepted until May 1st. There is no cap on number of submissions for Pride Month. For more information, and for submission templates, please visit thevoice.dog/?page=rules.

mole is similarly lucky that his friends can recognize basic as not synonymous with bad. if he wants a warning about what happens when people throw everything into Not Being Basic he need look no further than toad
