North American Fur is an APA/zine: that is, it is an APA that also sells to the public to cover copying and mailing so that members don't have to bear those costs. It was founded in 1997 by Paul Groulx, former editor of Furthest North Crew, and he published the first three issues. When Ed Zolna closed down Mailbox Books in the spring of 1999, NAF almost folded because that was the major market. Luckily, we at Jarlidium (who also happen to be charter members of NAF) were able to step in and continue the title, with all the same contributors.
Despite the title, North American Fur is not restricted to just
North American members: we are pleased to have as members
Foxy (England) and David Buttenshaw (Australia),
as well as a wide variety of US and Canadian artists and
writers:
| Dan 'Flinthoof' Canaan | James 'Tibo' Birdsall | Kevin 'Foxy' Charlesworth | David Buttenshaw | Reese Dorrycott |
| David 'Terminotaur' Schneberger | Michael Thompson | Michael Caddell | Steve Corbett | Gene Breshears |
| Terency Owens | Zephery Hughes | Ren Krause | Summer Jackel | Tiffany 'Syke' Ross |
| Ken Marcinkevicius | Sheryl Schopfer | Zelivan 'Zel' Harris | Megan Giles | JW Kennedy |
| Roy D. Pounds II | Joy Riddle | Caleb 'Fee the Bunny' Hughes | Mitch Beiro | K'sharra |
| James L. Brandt | Portzebie | Emy Bitner | ReDaDillio | Mike Higgs |
| Sarah Armstrong | Phil Bolton | available | available | available |
NAF is published twice a year. The summer issue comes out in, well, the summer, and the winter issue is out in time for Further Confusion. Our format has been upgraded recently — NAF is still 8.5" x 11" but is now perfect-bound with a wraparound cover.
We have a number of memberships available and are actively looking for artists and writers to join! If you're interested, here is more info.
We only have a couple issues of NAF in stock. Please check with our distributors (Second Ed and Rabbit Valley) for older issues. NAF is never reprinted, so the best way to make sure you get a copy is by subscribing.
