We are proud to announce Fur Affinity has joined the IMVU (link) family. Fur Affinity (formerly a part of Ferrox Art LLC) was acquired by IMVU earlier this year in January 2015. We are looking forward to the partnership allowing both FA and IMVU to grow and foster the furry community and to celebrate its unique talents, creativity and self-expression.As you know, IMVU has previously advertised their services to our community, which led to further discussions about the obvious overlap among our members. Both IMVU and FA community members love to socialize and connect anonymously with people from around the world with diverse backgrounds, talents, and creative histories. They both express their artistic and creative skills in a variety of ways - via artwork, storytelling, fursuiting, crafts and more! Our partnership was the natural and reasonable conclusion to bring these similar and often already connected communities together officially.Going forward, FA will continue to operate independently but with IMVU’s support and resources to upgrade our services. We can now work on improving our infrastructure, adding more storage, making performance improvements and improved coding support to reach our full potential. As a community member, the only difference you will notice is a better, smoother experience and increased functionality of the site as time goes on.

This is a surprisingly left field development. After a decade being independently ran, FurAffinity is now under the ownership of a bigger company.

Whilst the choice of owner caught me off guard, I would not be surprised if finances were a factor behind the sale. The stress of operating solely on advertisement and donations wears your soul out eventually.

Online furry and anthropormophic art gallery meets 3d artistic furry avatars...if they have not met already!We are proud to announce to YOU - especially our furry and furry-loving friends - that earlier this year we made FurAffinity.net community a part of our family. This started with IMVU advertising its services to the FA community, which led to further discussions about the obvious overlap among our members. Both IMVU and FA community members love to socialize and connect anonymously with people from around the world with diverse backgrounds. Both communities express their artistic and creative skills in a variety of ways - via their anthromorphic and furry art, photographs, outfits, and scenes and more. So our partnership was the natural and reasonable conclusion to bring these similar and often already connected communities together officially. For those of you who don’t know, FA is a community centered around sketching and animations, in which artists are afforded the opportunity to anonymously share their own individual creative talents. Sound vaguely familiar? Yes, it is indeed exactly what you - IMVU’s customers - do as well. What does it mean for the IMVU community? The FA site will continue to operate indepently and work toward enhancing the fun and experience of their members with our full support. You will continue to enjoy your IMVU experience - whether you belong to our furry community or not as always. We know many of you participate in both communities, so this just means you are always part of the IMVU family!

I finally decided to join this subreddit and while I have already thought of a fursona I still need a lot of practice with drawing so I instead thought of writing a story with my fursona being the main character. Before I even started I wanted to know if anyone would want to actually read it. I wanted to set the story in a world where magic exists and I wanted to set my character as force of balance but as I said before I wanted to know if there was any interest in stories before I even started. I hope that serves as a very basic summary of what I want to write.

Author: Mister Twister It has been about three weeks since the biggest FurAffinity controversy of recent years happened. For those unaware, every single piece of art that was ever uploaded there has been archived, and preserved. Now you can see all the galleries that has been wiped from FurAffinity, presumably forever, in just a few … … Continue reading →

Hi.

I have no idea what I'm doing - this is my first ever entrance into this world.

For, various reasons, I've been thinking about getting involved.

I have a clear picture of what my fursona(s) is(are), and his(their) personality traits etc.

Really, I'd just like some online acquaintances. I think. I don't know. I've always loved this idea and I guess, yeah. I don't know.

What should I do now? I'm no good at art (I can draw a pretty bad-ass stickman.) but like writing, so, yeah. I mean, should I write 'my origin story' or something? A way to explain what I(we) am(are) like?

When am I 'in character'? I'd prefer to only ever be really I think.

Yup. There we go. Good. Okay then.
