Part I: Finding the Right Partner

There are lots of ways to start a TS session with another fur. They range from simply looking at each other and saying "lets yiff" (happens more often than you'd think) to spending days, weeks, or even months role-playing with each other before your characters are 'ready' to actually do it.

Before even starting an interaction with another character, one should always check their wixxx first. If the MU* does not support this feature, try using the pinfo command instead (used pinfo <character name>). The other fur is not informed when you look at them, so you can do it for as long as you like without them knowing (if that makes you feel any more comfortable about it). (On Tapestries, the command is called the cinfo command and not the pinfo command, so change it accordingly.)

The reason I stress looking at the wixxx (or pinfo) is that it provides important insight into the character itself. If you're a submissive male fox (of course, all foxes are submissive!) and you see a tough looking male wolf in a bar, it would be much better for you to check his wixxx and find out that he's a mated(closed) heterosexual hermaphrodite instead of finding yourself in an embarrassing situation after you hit on him (unless you're into that sort of thing). Generally, it saves both you and the fur you confront a lot of time and trouble if you check first - some don't take mistakes as easily as others.

The golden rule applies here as anywhere, furs. Treat furs as they want to be treated. The wixxx will give you information on that as well, if you check it. For your reference, here are the tags (along with a brief explanation of each of them) used on TapestriesMUCK:

It seems like a long list... well, it is a long list. But don't feel intimidated by it. If you aren't interested in some of these things (or many of them really) the best way to avoid them is to set your own wixxx so that others can know what you are into. If its not there, assume that the fur isn't interested (unless of course you see the anything-goes tag).

As you can see, the wixxx will give you a fairly accurate idea of the character's traits and preferences. It isn't the be-all and end all, however. It is often wise to send them an OOC message asking them if what you're thinking about would be alright. Believe it or not, it doesn't ruin the mood and will be very appreciated.

WWWWolf's comments:

The other fur is not informed when you look at them... This depends on MU* and its configuration; for example, MUCKs (such as FurryMUCK) don't generally notify users, but look-notify systems can be set up. Personally, I have a MPI macro that notifies whenever someone looks at me, and even tells the body part.

Also, nowadays, TapestriesMUCK has actual explanations for many of the flags they have (wi #whatisall), though these may or may not be helpful (la: large - Character is "large".); for example, "horny" and "yiffy" are identical except that "horny" is impliedly dominative and "yiffy" submissive.
