I've been really enjoying this break from writing, and Anthrocon is just around the corner, so I've decided to keep billing paused. You will not be billed on July 1st, but I'll probably resume billing before August 1st.

Also, I have an important question that I want your feedback on. As you know, years ago, I made the unfortunate decision to have the HC mammals refer to both hands and feet as paws. This has made the writing much harder and probably led to some confusion on the readers' part.

So, if I were to loosen the rules, which would you prefer?

In case anyone cares about my opinion, I'll repeat what I said in the discord--I think it's "feet" that's usually the source of trouble when writing, specifically. We can still totally refer to them as paws where appropriate (and cuter) but that's my take.

In other writing I've often seen them be referred to as hand paws and foot paws but that could end up being a mouthful too 😅

Yeah, I don't care for it personally. Those sorts of words appear too many times in a story to make them more than a syllable.

I struggled with this as well in my book. In my first draft I did paws for both but came to the same conclusion as you. It just gets confusing sometimes. I settled on using Paws and feet. The results of this poll and really interesting and helpful!

Saying paws for both hands and feet when it’s unambiguous and/or appropriate/cuter makes sense to me I’d maybe add also when it doesn’t matter Like ‘he took her left paw and massaged it’ I’m sure some readers would be happy to assume their favourite :) And feet if you run into a situation where you need clarify

I think my favorite is something like "paws" and "hindpaws", but "paws" and "feet" works fine imo
