Hi. I'm not new to the fandom (I've been lurking around various places since 2010, and commented here a couple of times on an old account with a weird username), but I'm hoping to get involved in it a bit more sometime soon-ish. At the very least I'll be commissioning some art, but I've also got my eyes on eventually going to cons and maybe getting a fursuit if/when I can somehow manage to afford it. I'm an 18 year old dude, and my main character is a snow leopard. A friend of mine (/u/MrEightThreeOne) has been commenting here for a while, so I thought I'd join the party. Lurking is boring, and I'm tired of pretending to be a quiet, serious guy. And oddly, despite being in the fandom for five years, I've had this tab open for an hour or so just trying to figure out what to say... So, uh... Is this the part where I prepare for imminent glomping?

So I may actually have an opportunity to attend a local fur meetup this weekend. I found the group online today and they seem like alright bunch of fuzz balls. My experience with furries thus far has been entirely confined to social media websites such as Reddit and Twitter. So I'm not sure exactly what to expect, much less how to prepare. I'm an ambivert, so I think I'll blend in just fine. If you've ever been to a fur meet, tell me a little bit about your experience. Was it good, bad, kinda meh? Do you have any recommendations?

What sort of things send you into a frightful sweat? A dark cave, friendly clowns, folktales, hillbillies, urban legends, or something else entirely? And describe your worst nightmare ...muhahahaha!

As for me. I am horribly claustrophobic, but I'm also afraid of vast, open spaces and have an aversion to low-light environments. My worst nightmare is being helplessly paralyzed at night while something slowly materializes out of the darkness in front of me

Also, label any nsfw content and describe what it is. Please don't trigger anyone, some people are very afraid of things and would rather not see them :P

Or is your SO a furry themself?
