So, I'm thinking of getting a fursuit head. I want to ask all tge suiters of this subreddit, what's it like? Obviously, suits cost a lot of money, so I want to know pros and cons. (although, right now I desperately want one x3)

I had no idea this subreddit existed. It's /aww, but with big animals. Right now their front page is all about big cats being adorable. Y'know, like lions and stuff.

I know it isn't strictly furry. But it's of furry interest - at least, it was to me. Thought I'd go ahead and see if anyone else has been missing this subreddit all their life. If so, you're welcome. :)

Do be aware, these are regular dog collars designed to sit on fur, not skin. So you'll need to add a liner or deal with the chaffing. :)

IGNORE THE TEXT ONLY UNTIL THE LINE. Ok so I have a fursuit maker lined up to make my first one. A partial. What I wanted to know is that should I go for it and suit at Anthrocon 2014? It isn't set in stone that I am going but it is a possibility. Or should I wait to get the suit and just go to Anthrocon suit less? Mind you that it will be my first furcon.--------------------- Note: I am probably going to MWFF in 2014 and then Anthrocon 2015 with a suit. So I am a small bit disappointed I can't go to anthrocon next year but it is in high chance i will the year after.

Subcultures, some with a rather odd nature, are emerging globally.Most can thank the Internet for their success; through forums and social sites, people with closet interests have been connecting in the public. One of the largest is the furry fandom.

Often called furries, this group grew out of a 1980s science fiction convention. Writer Steve Gallacci had a character drawing from his novel, which centered around anthropomorphic creatures. Anthropomorphic is defined as animals with human-like characteristics such as walking, talking, and intelligent thought. Throughout the decade the group gained more and more members until 1987 when the first convention was held and soon after the Internet became available to the public.

“I’m in the furry fandom because I can express myself, my love of cats, and my love of art and animation simultaneously,” said Mathew Netzley, a CSUN alumnus whose animal persona, or fursona, is an orange cat, even though he does not have a fur suit… yet. “I feel connected to the community, and have made many lasting friendships with wonderful people because of it. Especially now as an adult with an adult job and adult bills, it’s wonderful to have an escape and an excuse to get lost in the collective imagination where we can all become our talking animal fursonas. It’s fun, it’s silly, and you probably can’t call it normal, but that’s why I like it.”

Most furries have an emotional and/or spiritual connection with animals, and connect with their animal or animals through art or music. However, other furries may dress up in mascot-type outfits called fursuits. The fursuits are often an attention-grabbing aspect to the furry fandom.

“From a social psychological standpoint, people might seek out (the) furry fandom as a way to foster another social identity,” said Professor Debbie Ma, who teaches psychology at CSUN. “Humans possess a fundamental need to belong and this drives us to forge social relationships with others. We tend to prefer forming these connections with smaller sets of social groups.“

A member will spend anywhere between $500 and even more than $3,000 on a fursuit. Suits can be purchased online or at conventions, while some fursuits are handmade with assistance of online forums and advice.

“The furry fandom means many things to so many individuals,” said Desmond Rayford, a member of the furry fandom who wears a black and white cat with purple hair. “After stepping into and joining the fandom I would say that, to me, it means being around like-minded people who share your passion of seeing a smile on a stranger’s face.”

However, the suits are not the entire fandom. Most members discover their “true” selves by visiting online furry sites and participating in role-play games. The fandom has a following of art, animal, and music enthusiasts.

Some furries choose to have more realistic qualities but still maintain many anthropomorphic features such as intelligence, walking on two legs, and human speech. Photo credit: Crystal Lambert / Contributor

Jasco Games has launched their Kickstarter for their Megaman Board game! The project is already backed meeting their project goal of $70,000! The board game was announced back a comic-con, and now it looks like it will be made. They currently have a set release date of October 2014!

Go check out and back the game!

Dear Papabear and fellow readers,

It's been quite some time since we've last chatted, but something has been on my mind for the past few days, and I thought I'd ask you and your readers about it. This isn't so much a personal problem as it is asking someone's opinion.

Skipping right along to the question, why or why not would you date another furry?

I realize this is a very short and to the point question, but there's literally no big story behind it. Like I said, it's a question for you and your readers to all answer, not a personal issue. So, go ahead and voice your opinion.

Again, this is for anyone to answer as they see fit. :)

Holiday wishes to all,

Sil

Hi, Sil,

As with any other kind of relationship, whether or not it is a good choice to date someone all depends on who you are and who the other person is on a deeper level than furriness. It’s really unfair to say “all furries are like this” and so I would/would not date one. No two furries are the same. That said, let’s talk generalities.

The advantage of dating a furry if you are a furry yourself is that you have something in common. You are more likely to be able to relate to each other and like doing the same things together.

The disadvantages....? I really can’t think of any.

To add a corollary to the question: if you are a furry, should you limit yourself to dating only other furries? And the answer to that would be “No, but if the other person is not a furry they should be comfortable with the fact that you are one.”

So, readers, what do you think? Sil asked for your opinions, too, not just mine. Feel free to chime in.

Papabear

Are there any sites out there that teach or show how to make your own furry head or costume? Preferably one that show the different materials used.
