I just recently got over my whole "no no I'm not a furfag that's ridiculous" thing and accepted that I pretty much am at this point. I've even sort of created some characters. I would also like to create a fursona to represent me, but even after a lot of consideration, I can't pick an animal. Cats are my favorite, but I sort of want to be...uh..."unique", I guess. Lame, I know. How did you guys pick yours? Was it just your favorite animal, or did they have to have some meaning or similarity to you? People who are foxes, wolves, or any other massively popular animals, do you mind that there are so many like you? Also, is changing your fursona a common thing, or do people generally stick to one? I know everyone is different, but I'd just like to hear the input of some of you.

Edit: I resolved this quicker than I thought I would. I'm a caracal. Thank you for answering my questions :)

Here is an article, dated June 30, on the website of Pittsburgh TV station WTAE. It concerns the upcoming Anthrocon convention:

http://www.wtae.com/news/the-furries-are-returning-to-pittsburgh/7710362



PITTSBURGH —Downtown Pittsburgh will take another walk on the wild side with the annual Anthrocon, which falls on the July Fourth holiday weekend this year.

Furries -- people who are fascinated with anthropomorphics -- will begin arriving this week for their national convention at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. It begins Thursday and continues through Sunday.

Many of the five thousand-plus visitors stay dressed in full or partial animal costumes as they walk through the streets of the Golden Triangle while they're in town.

Anthrocon includes workshops, panel discussions, art exhibitions and vendors catering to fans of the human-like animal characters.

VisitPittsburgh estimates that the convention has brought more than $28 million in direct spending to the city since it first arrived in 2006. Anthrocon has also raised more than $140,000 for local charities. This year's charity is the National Aviary.

"They’ll buy souvenirs, they’ll eat and drink in our restaurants, they'll ll park in our parking lots, and that, as an economic benefit, is pretty big," VisitPittsburgh CEO Craig Davis said during last year's convention.


The station also has a page ("Furries from Anthrocon 2014: Complete Coverage") where people can upload photos of the event:

Hey everyone!

I'm going to be driving for the nex 10 hours solid, and was hoping y'all could make the trip a little more bearable by recommending furrystuff I can listen to on the way.

I'm already caught up on knotcast on the way here, and I'm not sure what's popular in the community anymore.

I want to know what some habits that you do in public or secrecy that bring you closer to your animal/fursona/mythical creature/character. Constantly lick your lips like a dragon? Flex your ears as an alert rabbit would? Curl in a ball to find your comfort spot? Make low grumbling noises when displeased?

My biggest habit is walking barefooted a lot which gives me the chance to walk digitigrade. My biggest secret is eating raw meat whenever I'm alone to prepare dinner by that I'm not saying eating a whole raw steak on my own-- I might snatch a peice of uncooked bacon therefore I will eat sushi any chance I get. Yes, I understand the dangers of bacteria and parasites that lurk in raw meat but I have done this more than once and have never been sick.

The point of this post to investigate how the people of /r/ furry are once alone. So please leave the judgement out of this and pick up a point of view.

Edit: It's nice to see this thread is getting alot of attention despite the karma. Please keep sharing.

Edit 2.0: This post extends out to mythical creatures, hybrids, and etc. Not just real wild animals!

I have received many comments about my fursona so thought I would share the first commission I have had done of her.
It was done by sannamy; a very talented artist from deviantart.
Enjoy!

Doesn't matter what it is as long as there are anthropomorphic animals involved. Comment your favorite sites!

Edit: Okay. I'm seeing that Fur Affinity's going to be a popular entry here. Anything else?

Why are e621 people so rude and mean? They take your art and upload it on there, then when you say something, they attack you like you are out of line for doing so! This has happened to me 3 times now with my lioness character. Every time I asked to have it taken down, I received a note from the uploader that I was an asshole or a baby.

edit:Ok people are getting the wrong view of this. What I mean by this post Is I do fill out the take down forms, However, the people who uploaded the image find out it was taken down and have noted me on FA, at least in the 3 cases in which I did this.

Author: Dear Papa Bear, I’ve got quite a personal issue I’ve never really come to a conclusion on. From a very young age, I’ve never been truly able to identify with myself as a female. When my father lived with us, he constantly discouraged me from my passion, weightlifting, terrified of the thought of me becoming “bulky.” My […]

There's been a HUGE increase in the number of NSFW posts, discussions, and commissions in /r/furry. Either we find a new subreddit home for this stuff, or we'll have spend a helluva lot more time convincing our friends that we aren't crazy sex pervs.

The unstoppable international phenomenon known as Rovio Studio’s Angry Birds continues with the new Angry Birds full-color comic book series from IDW Publishing. It’s written by Jeff Parker and illustrated by Paco Rodriques. “Angry Birds is based on the wildly popular mobile game by Rovio in which less-than-pleased birds launch all-out attacks on nefarious porkers. IDW’s series is just the latest feather in the cap for Rovio’s monster franchise, which has already spawned countless toys, shirts, games and more, including a film set to land in 2016.” Now you know. Check out the interview with Jeff Parker over at Comic Book Resources.

For instance, sometimes, when I picture myself, I think of one of the anthropomorphic animals we all love. I know I'm human, but I still get these occasional thoughts. Is this abnormal?
