Todd Aldrington

Hey there! I’m Todd, a.k.a Athlete Raccoon,
and I write furry books and stories. I've also been playing guitar for 25 years, and from the start of 2023 this page will also showcase my new venture into learning to record videos of my playing and write songs. Some of it will link to the books I write - music has always been a massive influence of mine. I have an alternative 'sona, Alex the Electric Snow Leopard - my attempts to write a novel with him made me realise I actually wanted to play his music just as much. 

If you’re a furry, or you’re gay, or you love a good
story, or all of the above, then becoming my patron will give you hours of fun.
In fact, whoever you are, if you just like a good read and you’re
tolerant of something a little different, I’m probably your go-to guy as well.  

 

Just so long as you don’t mind that my main character is
a blue raccoon. He’s been raised well, but he says a naughty word or two. The
stories that begin with his coming of age are mysterious, funny, naughty and
life-affirming. There’s a fight now and again just to spice things up. After
all, the raccoon's in love with an edgy fox... 

 

My stories will give you a glimmer of hope and positivity
in a world where everything sometimes just seems awful. I write about triumph over adversity
and people trying to be better. Even if you’re not a furry, I believe my books
will make you feel a little bit better about the world. 

 

That sound like your thing? Pledge at the $2 to get a
taster. Pledge at $10 to get access to everything so far - two novellas, one
novel, and serialised chapters of works in progress. If you especially like what you find here, there's a $15 tier to tempt you. If you sign up to that one I'll offer you my science fiction books as well, under my non-furry pen name.  Please note, I use the 'Charge up front' option, so whenever you sign up in the month, you will pay straight away and get immediate access to my content. From then on, you'll pay on the 1st of every month. IE, if it's near the end of month and you can bear to wait a few more days until the 1st then it's probably a good idea to do that. I do have quite a lot of content though, and I chose this option because I'm willing to say it IS worth paying to get your hands on it right away! <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/33938699">Here is a public post detailing exactly how much content is on this site.</a>

Did my $2 introduction get you hooked? Did $5 leave you hungry for more? Already a fan from elsewhere? Can’t wait for the next chapter, hot off the raccoon’s pen? This tier is for you. Everything in the $2 and $5 tiers, with the addition of: <ul><li>Latest chapters of my work in progress serialised </li><li>Access all chapters of my completed works </li><li>Your chance to comment on chapters and influence my re-draft before it goes to my editor </li><li>A free copy of the final ebook for each story, once it has been through my editor and had a custom-designed cover added to it </li><li>With the introduction of video content from January 2023 onwards, this is the tier which will get access to the more polished and perfected video content once it becomes available</li></ul>

Join the $10 tier

Wow, you like me THAT much? Cool, perhaps you’re willing to support ALL my writing and not just the furry stuff. Throw me another five bucks per month and I’ll let you in on a little secret... <ul><li>For your support at this level, you also get access to my catalogue of science fiction novels, written under a different pen name. These five books are exciting and a LOT longer than my furry stuff - there’s over 650,000 words of material here! If you like my stuff with Todd and Colton, something tells me you will like my other characters too. They may not be furs, but we all need a little real world from time to time, right?</li></ul>This tier is really a tip-jar. I do have a few ideas for it that might come soon, but to keep my output at a realistic level for now it’s still just here for those who feel they want to be generous.
