what is a sona?
in case the title didn't give it away I'm wondering what a sona actually is to most and if any of you believe there are actual restrictions on what you choose.

My, as an outsider, view on furries.
Hello, I am Hoploo, I am here to express my opinion on this fandom, and also the disturbingly unfair amount of hate it receives. I, myself, am not much a fan of anthropomorphic animals (with very few exceptions), but I can always see the appeal. Your, "Yiff" side, from what I can tell without going there myself, is just a simple fetish, may be a little strange, but some people might like their porn cartoonishly covered in fur and with a muzzle (unless of course it is a reptile or a bird), but it would never make someone a pedophile, or even zoolophile (if that's how you spell it). Looking at pictures of anthropomorphic animals does not make you a zoolophile (making sexual contact in reality would though, but I do not believe you do that). Cosplaying as your characters, while I do not cosplay at all myself, is also justified. It's not like your hurting anyone, it's not pornographic, and it is not seizure inducing, if it isn't either of the two you can look at something else. Of course, I doubt you don't have a dramatic side, and people who will defend their fandom to the death, but I believe that would be a minority, all fandoms have those members. All reasons for attack in my perspective are unjustified and are definitely not an excuse to attempt chemical attacks on a peaceful convention. I appreciate your time to read this.

Where did the name for your 'sona/character come from?
I'm so curious. I've been 'satire' or 'satiredun' since..well, yerf days, but it's not really a character name. Now that I'm coming back into the scene, as it were, I see all these interesting character names and wondering where they all came from! TL;DR Tell us what your character name is and where it came from.

New to furry Fandom and i have some (probably stupid) questions about it
Hi, I'm emrakull! I am a noob producer, influenced by furry producer Renard Queenston, so i have a general idea of what the community is about. I was thinking about becoming a furry, but i have some (probably stupid) questions.
Do i need to be good at drawing? Because i suck at it xD
Is being a furry limited to animals? Or can it be fish, insects, plants, lizards, etc.
Do I need a costume? In addition to begin bad at drawing, i can't make a homemade costume lol

I bet you've never seen an anthro squid before.
Late night drawing stream! Doing a couple requests!

Instead of first come first serve I'll be drawing what ever character I feel like since its usually always done first come first served and that's boring!

Fursonas : : Then and Now
As we grow, so do most of our fursonas.
I want everyone to post pics of your first version of your fursona and now. How much have they changed over time?
Here's one of my first every drawings of Dexter. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5648636/
Here he is now (since this pic was posted I also added his crop circle back markings). http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14617902/
Not only did my art change a lot, but also Dexx used to be goat-rabbit-fox-deer, now he is just fox and reindeer (caribou). His ears got shorter, he got more piercings, and his antlers changed a little bit.

Looking to socialize a little (skype)
Hello all! I'm not new to the fandom really, but I'm new around here and a tad lonely sometimes, looking for some furs to chat with on skype. I can be reached there at Benjitigr, feel free to add me, thanks for reading and have a lovely day. EDIT: grammar.

Anyone want a crappy toon rendition of their character?
Today I looked at my Reddit submissions. Essentially, they're all pictures of my sona or a closely associated character. To me, that's kinda stupid. I'm looking to actually do some form of community interaction since I've mostly just lurked or dropped in self-portraits. Good for silently grubbing karma, bad for getting to know people!
So, if you'd like to be drawn/have your character drawn (however the hell you see it, lol), drop your character name, a ref if you have one, a pose you'd like, and basic personality quirks so that whatever I draw doesn't look dead inside (unless that's what you want, I don't judge). Also, please keep poses and such simple, I'm still learning! That way, hopefully, anything that comes out will give the illusion that I actually know what I'm doing! (Also no NSFW please. Nobody wants to see what would happen if I tried, trust me.)
If you want to see what my stupidly variable art style is like, check out my Deviantart (for some really old irrelevant crap) or my Reddit submissions.
If there are any actual takers (I'd be surprised), this isn't commission stuff, its free! I don't think I could ever charge for the BS I put out. Also I'm probably only going to choose like 3 or 5, and hopefully post on the weekend. Yeah, I'm that slow. Apologies to everyone in advance.
(EDIT)- If you are wondering, the result would look like this. Possibly less shading?

Anyone planning on attending Anthro New England?
Hey, I'm just checking in to see if any fellow reddit furs will be attending the new furry convention in Cambridge, MA. It's the weekend of February 27th. I was hoping I could meet up and get to know some of you.
