Rocky Mountain Fur Con is right around the corner!

If you're going I'm sure I'm not the only one that'd like to know!

I'm 22, a dude, and from New Mexico. I will be driving to Denver with my mate on the early morning of Aug 6th.

You can find me as @vinnycoyote on Twitter Vinylwolf on furaffinity

Looking forward to talking to ya, and perhaps meeting up at the con!

edit: Also! Forgot to say this will be my first con.

So, a little nervous but super excited!!

Hey guys, been a long time since I posted anything here last. Today I am here to try to start something I used to love up again, a furry Skype group, again. A place where furs can meet other furs, have fun, and just do whatever they want really! All you have to do is add me on Skype (zack_cordray) and I'll start one up. Old friends, and hopefully new ones are all welcome!

(Trolling is a permanent ban. I have had enough chats die from assholes than I would care to remember.)

Hope to see you soon!

None of us (unless you got into the fandom yesterday and even then there's a chance you've shifted) have ever had our fursona and just said "this is me, I'm happy, nothing to change ever." But how big a shift have you gone through over the course of being a furry? Hair style, outfits, personality or cliques they might belong to, species even?

Alternatively if you're still new, stick around, read people's tales, get to know what people put in. And feel free to ask questions for developmental help!

As per usual I'm posting in comments like an average pleb when I get the chance.

Papabear,

I have recently became a young new furry, and I am working on my Fursona. I am an artist, so I thought my creativeness would allow me to create a detailed Fursona that I would stick with. Though, things haven't been like that. I have the name thought out (Crystal), and the species too (Angel Dragon), but I just can't think of a design! I like huskies so I thought putting a husky pattern, with blue since it's my favorite color. Then I get new ideas, and I try to keep it simple since I want to fursuit one day. But then I keep getting new design ideas, and new color ideas! It's hard for me to stick with one! And I don't want multiple characters since I feel most comfortable with only one. I've tried looking on the internet for an idea I would stick with, but I want to use one that's beautiful, unique, and something that I can be comfortable with! Please help!

Crystal the Angel Dragon (age 12)

Dear Crystal,

Welcome to the fandom. I hope you enjoy your experiences with us. 

I find that fursonas are a reflection of our inner selves. As such, it is not at all surprising you are having a hard time settling on a fursona. Why? Because you are 12 years old, and at that age you are still discovering who you are as a person. If I had selected a fursona at your age, you would now be talking to a dragon, not a bear. Actually, I take that back. At your age, I was a wolf (because I loved Kipling’s Jungle Book and wanted to be part of Akela’s wolf pack), and then I entered my teen years and became fascinated by fantasy novels and loved dragons (had a large dragon figurine collection, too). I didn’t become a bear until I was in my 40s. I know I will be a bear from now on because I have finally learned who I really am inside.

You will likely experience the same transitions yourself as you go through puberty and wiggle your way into adulthood. Don’t be perplexed, flummoxed, or aggravated, therefore, that you are still figuring out your fursona. Too, as an artist, you are naturally fascinated by color, so experimenting with that can be a lot of fun. Color preferences will also change with time (me: blue to green and now definitely orange).

You will not be the same person at 18 that you are now at 12, and you will not be the same person at 30 or 40 that you will be at 18. I used to think that people do not change, but I was so wrong about that. They do, and you will too, and so will your fursona.

Nothing is written in stone, and if you pick a fursona now that is a blue angel dragon named Crystal, but later you change to, say, a green husky named Daphne, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Go ahead and be who you are now and don’t worry about the future. Enjoy being a 12 year old angel dragon, have fun with it. Life is to be enjoyed now.

Hugs,

Papabear

Hi everyone! Sorry in advance if this is the incorrect place to post this.

I was at a bar with a friend last night getting drinks. At the table next to us was a group of women. One of them had a tail (looked like raccoon by the pattern) and I couldn't help but wonder if she was a furry.

So my question is do people that wear tails usually identify as furries? I'm fully away of petplay in BDSM and wasn't sure if there was any crossover as well.

This spawned another question, is it considered rude to bring up the topic of furries to a stranger like I described above? The furries I've met at places like PAX East have always been some of the nicest people around and I'm always interested in hearing viewpoints other than my own.

Ten years ago furry fandom — and animation fandom in general — saw an amazing new event with the premier of Kaze: Ghost Warrior. A multi-species fantasy adventure, it was most astounding for having been financed, designed, voiced, animated, and rendered by one person. Now creator Amadhia Albee — having spent the interim as a professional effects animator — has decided the time is right for a resurrection of the warrior tiger. Kaze: Winds of Change is to be a new series of audio dramas following Kaze and his world, this time with a full crew of voice actors, musicians, and singers involved. The project has a Kickstarter campaign going — and as of this writing they have already exceeded their goal, but you can still contribute to get involved and be kept up to date.

Hey guys, I'm in a mood tonight so I thought I'd post on here again for a few people to post some simple requests. I can only accept three people though, for reasons. So leave a response with a ref and I'll see what I can do.

A rat finds love in a lab…

Does anyone know of any good con badge makers? I wanted to commission someone to draw one up and laminate it. Links with examples of art would be nice!

P.S. I did my own research but didn't find much.

So from what I can gather this is a mock furry documentrary music video??? It's kinda spot on with portrayels so I can't tell if they guy is a furry himself or just stole footage from actual documentaries. Nonetheless it's kind of surreal..

http://www.mynewsdesk.com/se/sonybmg/pressreleases/style-of-eye-slaepper-furries-video-paa-love-looks-album-7-oktober-1013698

Style of Eye är just nu ute på en större Sverigeturné. Det firar han genom att släppa videon till låten ”Love Looks”, en video som gör ett nedslag i fenomenet Furry Fandom (människor som klär sig i djurdräkter).  Love Looks, skriven av Style of Eye & Lars Allertz, är andra singeln från Style of Eyes album ”Footprints” som kommer 7 oktober i år.

Det är en händelserik tid för Linus Eklöw, aka Style of Eye. Nyligen tilldelades han en Ascap Award för låten ”I love it” (Icona Pop) som sålts i två miljoner exemplar i USA och legat topp tio i 14 länder. Första singeln från hans kommande album, ”Kids feat. Soso ”, sålde nyligen Platinum och EP:n som han släppt med Galantis, duon han bildat med vännen Christian Karlsson från Miike Snow, har toppat iTunes topplistor i USA.

Idag släpps videon till senaste singeln ”Love Looks”. En video som ger en inblick i fenomenet Furry Fandom där vi får följa ett fåtal människo-Furries liv och deras sökande efter kärlek.

Just nu är Style of Eye ute på en Sverigeturné där Emmabodafestivalen, Big Slap Festival och We Are Stockholm i Kungsträdgården finns bland turnéstoppen. Nu finns chansen att vinna biljetter till spelningarna och uppleva showen från scenen i en tävling med Rockbjörnen.

So I've been living in Pittsburgh for just over a year now. I was hoping to attend last year's Anthrocon, but unfortunately, work restricted me from doing that. But this year, I got my chance.

I don't want to bore you with every little detail I have, so I'll give a 'short' summary.

• I linked up with my friend from online. It's one of the first times I really hung out with anyone that shared my furry fixation.

• I got a day pass for the con and bought some awesome leather bracelets from Big Black Beast.

• Seeing all the suiters made me realize just how much I want a partial. Like, I wanted one before, but actually being in the presence of these folks really made me want to join in on all the fun.

It's hard to put into words just how awesome it was to have experienced this as my first convention. I was expecting to go and be "wow, that was fun" but instead, I've come out... Revitalized in a way. Not only did it breathe more life into my love of the fandom, but it really shined a different light on it. It was actually amazing to see the faces behind these characters. See people who shared the same hobby as I did, and talk with them. After seeing your friends living vicariously through animal characters on the internet, it's hard to remember that there are real people behind those avatars. It's a mindblow to see the person that a character represents.

All together, I just feel good about the whole thing over all. I love this community, and I can't wait for AC '15.
