Ran into a "troll" looking for people to talk to on omegle. Read this, please. I found this conversation to be both interesting and enlightening, and hope you do too.
Question to all non-canid and non-felidae furries: are you more a cat or a dog person?
I'm a coon (duh) and more of a cat person. You?

Los Angeles - Closet furries
I live out in Southern California and live a pretty normal life (26 years old working a solid job, live in a well kept apartment, have courteous friends, pay the bills on time), and I avoid meeting other furries out here because of bad past experiences. I won't name the meetups I visited out of respect for them and their regulars; but needless to say, their habits curved way outside the social norm to the point that it was uncomfortable to hang out with them. For example, wearing ears and tails in public, boisterously discussing topics that are best left in the bedroom, and a few people lacking a good sense of personal hygiene.
While I don't challenge your right to live life the way you please, these aren't the people I'd like to associate myself with in my free time. I'd love to have more "furry" friends, but because of the vast definition of what being a "furry" means, I'd like to say I'm looking for friends who consider themselves "closet furries." Somebody I can just chill with, without needing to discuss anything relating to the fandom, just knowing that I can relate to you on a different level than others. So is there anyone else out there in the SoCal area who can relate? Even if you're not in California and just want to make a new friend, I'm down with that too, just shoot a message to this throwaway account and I'll get it eventually.

KnotCast: Episode 200 – A Long Strange Trip
Episode 200 - A Long Strange Trip
Was thinking of finally cementing my fursona, any suggestions on how to do it?
I don't really have a story for my fursona, but as far as I know it would be fairly original. I am not sure on all the details and I would probably have to work with an artist to get a better idea of what I was looking for. The basis is like a minotaur with wolverine accents. Like a bull head with wolverine teeth and mane. Not sure about colors or patterns yet, let alone a standard outfit he would wear.
Are there examples of people describing their fursonas for ref sheets anywhere so I could get a better idea of what I should be supplying when I finally do find an artist I want to work with that is doing commissions? Frankly my artistic talents are beyond lacking, but would it help to try and make some sketches to give some very rough ideas? Considering this is fairly different I want to make it as easy as I can on the artist to get my idea correct and detailed so all they would have to do is draw. Any advice welcome.

SWAT katz might get a reboot?
Would anyone be interested in vector commissions?
My boyfriend is a vector artist. I was just trying to see who would be interested in these. He's thinking about opening up for commissions. Here's an icon he did for me: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9281572/

Some words of wisdom concerning commissions. Any artist who is interested in making money from their talents should give this a read.
Some wise words from the very talented Nym who makes a good living off of what she does. Definitely worth taking into consideration. Even if you arent an artist its still worth giving a read. The more you know!

New
Well guys I'm relatively new to the furry community but I have always seemed to have a connection to anthropomorphism. I'd like to say I'm really happy with how welcoming and friendly this community is. I've never met a group of individuals as nice as you guys. I am looking forward to interact more with you guys. :) Have a nice day guys and if you want to get to know me more don't be afraid to message me or add me on Facebook. :)

Super Discount commissions! (Detailed shading under 15USD).
Hey r/furry, my girlfriend decided to do super-cheap commissions during the holiday break, to help pay for school and keep herself occupied. Now's your chance to get your character drawn, for pretty incredibly low prices. She primarily does feral, but has done plenty of anthro as well.
Please keep requests SFW for this round (If nsfw is your thing, let me know and perhaps that can be arranged, but not in this batch)
Here's a link to the journal containing the information

Eat at the Bear’s
Shirokuma Cafe literally translates from Japanese as Polar Bear Cafe. It’s a manga series created by Aloha Higa, following the story of a little coffee house in Japan — run by a polar bear, and frequented by any number of zoo animals. The three main characters are Polar Bear, lazy young Panda, and lovesick Penguin. (Most of the animal characters in the series are simply naked after their species.) The manga has been running since 2008, but just this year a new anime series based on it came to TV thanks to Studio Pierrot. You can find out more at Anime News Network, or check out an actual episode at Crunchyroll.
