When I was a wee tiny babby internet, I had an internet boyfriend who was into Furfire. He was into it enough that somehow he managed to wheedle himself a very important "script-writing position" with the comic (as well as making up a truly atrocious self-insert character, the beginning of his descent into the furry lifestyle which fifteen years later he's still deep in).
And oh god, that comic. I wish I remembered specifics, but it's been long enough that I don't. All I remember is this impression that the internal workings of that comic sounded alternately like the most buttpatty echo-chamber of mutual cocksucking that you can imagine, or at other times exactly the total disaster of passive-aggression that the above comment sketches out. Meltdowns, people quitting only to come back once the fandom begged them to, behind-the-scenes creators getting into stupid feuds, etc.
I'm getting the most delightfully terrible nostalgia right now. I haven't thought of Furfire in years.
