A couple of days ago, someone asked me if I knew anything about recent drama surrounding a furry book review. I hadn't, however the next day there was a
related LJ post by Chipotle. What was the offending review, and from whom? I'm guessing here - alas, things were yanked - based a Twitter post on Jan 20, that shortly after FC, Isiah Jacobs (aka
FurReview)
ripped into Kyell Gold's
Winter Games.
A day or two later, Jacobs posted a second video which was linked to on Flayrah, reviewing... I forget, some sort of children's book? My brain glazed over while it played in another window. Suddenly at the end, he started shouting how it deserved to be nominated for the next Ursa Majors, far more than Kyell's books, which he said recycled the same plotline over and over. A day later, the video and the Flayrah article were gone, and
an apology video appeared. A day or two following that, Kyell voluntarily withdrew himself from this year's Ursas, so someone else could win for a change. The
Flayrah article gets into a side-discussion of whether the voting pool for the Coyotl Awards is any much different.
In more immediate drama - just in its early stages, could simply be a minor hissyfit that might fizzle out - FirestormSix has
parted ways with Furnal Equinox, only 5 weeks before the start of the convention.
