That’s a grandiose title I gave for a mere dance party.  But give a little credit to the hard working Neonbunny. Or a lot… Frolic, the party he started in 2010, is fairly called “the original” (for North America, anyways.) It’s inspired an entire movement.  The post-2010 “Furclub” thing is rising with a full-fledged subculture.  Furries aren’t just […]

On every other sub, I scrutinize everything cuz I'm so conflicted. Is it real, is it prank? WHY? I'm extremely gullible, on top of that, the way reddit is set up, you don't know it's a joke until you click.

Has anyone been fooled hard yet today?

So I once again find myself pondering changing my fursona, but I really have no idea which direction I want to go. In my 13 years in the fandom I've been a dragon, mouse, silver fox, fennec fox, hyena, and now dragon/hyena hybrid....thing.

I'm a little worried at this point that nothing is really sticking for so long and none of my previous fursonas have really "clicked". Anyone else out there that's gone through this?

Hello :)

Errrrr, where to begin

I was introduced to furries via my SO. He has been one for years but hid a lot of it from me due to fear of being rejected.

So anyways, been trying to connect on this level, just being honest and whatnot with one another.

I find myself attracted sexually to the naughty art. I find the PG art adorable and sweet. Basically I just love any furry art. The thought of fur suiting sounds like a blast and just being friendly/playful suited up with people at a con.

I've attempted to make up a character of my own fersona, but have a hard time finding which furry/scaly creature I click with, but I'm enjoying the hunt.

I used to love writing stories and could see putting my fursona into one, even using this as a reason to start writing again.

My inner child is rather playful and loving... :p

So do I qualify as a fur? The only aspect I haven't grasped is the roleplaying/texting dealy. Never really roleplayed much and don't know any terms, meanings or lingo. :p

Thank you for any help! /waves

One of those interesting modern-world phenomena: Václav Štajger and Michaela Štajgerová, a furry fan couple from the Czech Republic, are seeking international funding for their new furry t-shirt enterprise. They’ve actually been at it for a while, with Václav running the business and Michaela’s artwork on the shirts, but now problems with their printing company have left them with two choices: Either raise their shirt prices considerably, or go into business printing the shirts themselves. They’ve opted for the latter — and they’ve set up a new Indiegogo campaign to raise money for it, from now through May 12th. True, the shirts would be coming from Europe, but in this day and age what’s unusual about that? Visit their Indiegogo page to see some of their initial designs and find out what sort of perks they’re offering to crowd funders.
