Manuscript about writing fluid or fur coats (5)
I believe the answer is:
minks
'fur coats' is the definition.
(mink is a kind of fur coat)
'manuscript about writing fluid' is the wordplay.
'manuscript' becomes 'ms' (abbreviation for manuscript).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'writing fluid' becomes 'ink' (fluid used for writing).
'ms' enclosing 'ink' is 'MINKS'.
'or' acts as a link.
