I doubt a book would go off shelves, it is likely to stay there and rot. Why? Unless you have a good advertising fund you will meet only a few people that might or might not agree with your ideas.

However, if you write therianthropy stuff into comic magazines or mix it with some other subject (like Marketing for Subcultures, Theri Market, InterneTh...) haha who knows?

Bad thing is media want to show furry = ped and dirty people in costume.

I'm primarily looking at a relatively niche market, not trying to make Otherkin watered down for the masses. I'm not $ilver Ravenwolf. I don't write for the money. (Hell anyone who gets into writing for the money is going to be sorely disppointed, regardless of genre!) However, my first book has already given me tons of experience in ground-level promotion, particularly because I do work with a very small occult publisher. We're working on getting our books distributed through pagan shops across the country, as well as just mailed off samples and marketing proposals to the small press departments of B&N and Borders.

As for the media thing, here are a couple of articles from the two biggest papers in Pittsburgh:

From the Post-Gazette (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06169/699273-51.stm)

From the Tribune-Review (http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/search/s_458482.html)

And chances are as soon as the media gets a hold of Otherkin/Teriantropes...we'll be placed in that SAME stereotype.
