	~~=Setting Notes=~~
	~~==Basics==~~
	*The number of furries doubles in late August each year. The story is actually at Year 21, when there are just over one million furries. The next year will add a million, and so forth.
	*The first furry in 1987 was a vixen, with a tod the next year. Some stereotypes do have a basis in "reality". :)
	**The entire world will be furry in 2020.
	*Species are generally native to a particular continent. So most people in North America will end up whitetail deer, elk, bears, foxes, wolves, etc. Recent immigrants will more likely end up native species to wherever they came from.
	**No Mythicals like dragons, griffins, satyrs, what-have-you.
	**No birds unless the laws of physics get bent a bit so they can actually fly... Which still may happen.
	**No dinosaurs. Sadly, I can't include them.
	**Mammals only until I figure a reasonable way others can be included.
	*With every iteration, it's possible that ~~an already-changed person could experience (with increasing rarity, all less than one percent):~~
	**A species change. ("What the..? I'm a ''wolf'' now? What am I supposed to do with all these hoof picks?")
	**A gender change. ("Well, I guess the fawns have two moms.")
	**A combination of both. ("Don't ''even'' call me a bitch!")
	*Furries can still interbreed with one another as if they were ~~all still human. Children get a 50/50 chance of which of the parents' species they follow.~~
	*Conversely, humans '''cannot''' interbreed with furries, probably due to ~~the RDF.~~
	**I wonder what would happen if someone's child goes furry, but not the rest of the family.
	*There are some physical variations, but not the wide "Degrees" that Winds of Change has. The most obvious differences are hair, feet, and hands. Otherwise, most everyone is about as morphic as seen in common furry art.

	~~==The Reality Distortion Field==~~
	*Humans can't see furries for what they are. They still see whatever the person looked like before, even if that person was the opposite gender.
	*Some things aren't filtered correctly. Consequently...
	**If a TGed man gets pregnant, the filter will change that person's image to female. But she will still appear human to other humans.
	**Things like hoof/paw prints, shed fur, shed antlers, clawmarks, animal odors, etc., are not filtered. So if a cougar morph gets in a fight with a normal human and lashes out with his claws, he could cause a hell of a lot of damage.
	**Some humans think that there is something up. And some have figured out that the friends who claim to be furry actually ''are'' what they claim to be.
	*Things like medical care and surgery are still unknowns at this point. We'll see what future stories require.
	*The RDF sometimes breaks down a little during large gatherings of furries (~~like at conventions~~)~~. "Hey, that's the best costume I've ever seen! Is that a prosthetic muzzle?" Memories afterwards will probably remember some really good costumes, and photos will be perceived as such.~~
	**In more extreme cases it will break down entirely. But it would take repeated exposures, or perhaps having a number of furry friends while remaining humans oneself. Like in [[User:Nikon/Changing_Perspectives\|Changing Perspectives]].
	*Do animals perceive the RDF? Probably not. But the odor of a fur is neither quite human or animal. There are still some common human pheromones, for example. Which is what makes romance between wolf and deer possible. This is a ''good'' thing, since it means that a doe-woman in heat won't be chased down by a normal buck.
	*It may start to break down as there grow to be millions of furries in the world (see below).

	~~2020 8,623,489,024 7,721,535,206 >100%~~


	Things should start to get really interesting around 2010. There's enough furs in the world then that niche markets would start to open up. More clothing and products specifically designed for furries start popping up. Also, it will become harder and harder to induct new furs into the group in a healthy manner. Society may start to break down in places.

	~~It will take a concerted effort by those previously changed to keep everything under control...~~

	~~==The Cause==~~

	~~So, why is this happening? What's causing it? A nanotech virus? Microscopic magic pixies? The return of magic? The wrath of God? What?~~

	~~I know the answer, but I'd rather explain it in the next story. It'll be dismissed as insanity by most, but it'll nevertheless be the real explanation.~~
