SoFurry review
SoFurry’s Explore page puts illustrations, fiction and music from the community in one place. I’d use it to follow an artist across formats or to find the first chapter of a story that turned up in the feed.
Start a story from the beginning
The public feed shows individual chapters. The Precipice is one example with numbered entries, including a first chapter called Duet. Open the creator’s page when the feed drops you into the middle. CHYOA is the better comparison for fiction where the reader picks what happens next.
Browse by the type of work you came for
SoFurry describes its collection as a mix of artwork, stories, music and games. A writer’s chapters and an illustrator’s work can both turn up under Explore. The title and the type of work are more useful than the order of the feed if you already know what you’re looking for.
Anabel’s take
I’d save a creator I liked and go back through their work. For a serial, finding chapter one is my first move.
