Convention Behavior: Don't Be These Guys!
i want to hook up with hot guys chk my profile
I would love some help/a redirection of where to go to make a tail for a cosplay I plan to do
So I'm planning to do Makoto, which isn't exactly a furry. Well, she sorta is, but yeah. The furries have tail making down and I was wondering if there are guides to making a tail like this? I am afraid of it getting too heavy that it won't stand up on its own. I guess the ears would be something I would need help with too.

Strangeness from Antarctic Press
Where to even begin, except to say: Dead Pooh. Yes. Here, we’ll let the perpetrators try to explain: “Trash-collecting bear by day, crime-fighting martial artist by night. Dead Pooh protects the citizens of Woodland City from the menace of the Candy King. In the best traditions of parady, Comi-Kazi presents the latest hero to arise to confront the forces of darkness for truth, justice…and a jar of honey!” Sure to raise the hackles and the temperature of Marvel fans and Disney fans alike. This loony full-color one-shot is written by Al Sharpe, illustrated by Marat Mychaeis and Sean Davis, and scheduled for release from Antarctic Press in March. Oh bother.
Any Mid-West Furfest regulars? I have some questions...
Hey, I was curious about some things concerning the convention. You see, i live about 2 hours away from the location of the event, and I am more than happy to take a couple trains to go. The only problem is, I'm 16. Yes, I get it. 'A little young for conventions, hm?" I can handle myself fine. I will nearly be 17 by the time the convention comes around, and I'm a mature young man who would be going with an older friend of mine.
The real problem is that my friend says I should wait until I'm 18. This is because he says that a large portion on the convention is 18+ only and that people look down on the younger attenders.
Can anybody confirm this? I am quite interested in the event, and wanted some speech from the /R/ Furry community. I was planning on going this year, and waiting one more year until i am 18 to go back if it really is that way, but if you guys can talk me out of it, I can wait 2 years, I guess.
And please, be respectful and honest. If you have seen younger people causing trouble there and you don't want more, don't make that get in the way. I assure you I am mature enough to handle everything. The people I would be going with are older and my parents are okay with it. Just so you know.
Greatly appreciate if I could be reassured with this. Somebody around my age that has went before answering would be very nice, too.
Thanks a bunch.

Time for us to describe our Sonas!
SO I'm thinking it's time for us to give a description of our Fursonas again and I know we all like talking about our sonas. Yeah the Flair is wonderful but you can only put so much in a few words. This way if any artist would like to experiment with drawing separate fursonas, perfect descriptions are in here. All that is asked is that the artist please PM the person and put a link in this thread. I shall go first!!!
Name: Dekoa
Species: Silver Fox
Attributes: Mood Hair/Eyes, Sorcerer/Technomage
Description:
I am a Silver fox around 24 years of age. I've got Black Socks on both my footpaws (up to my knees) and on my fore arms (up to my elbows). My ears are black with the inner ears being white along with my tail tip being white. My muzzle is also black. I've got brown-blonde hair, but on the left side is a stripe of hair that is a different colour that changes along with my Iris to match my mood or whatever magic I'm casting at the time. However the colours typically remain a shade of calm blue. Usually I'm dressed in a Hero of Time hoodie (Link below), jeans, and glasses. I also have sorcerer abilities of being able to control Arcane Magic to my will. However I'm also quite adapt with technology as my friends call me a Technomage.

i googled "reddit snoo" and this is what i found
Your sona and you.
Ive recently been rethinking my own fursona and was curious to know, do you choose a fursona to reflect on your true self or do you use your fursona to escape from yourself? For myself personally I first chose a feline due to adoring kitties and my own habit or mewing and purring. But recently Ive felt the want to move away from my feline fursona and opt for something totally different and new.

Info
1. Eller, Andrea. and Eller, Jackie. "??Furotica Is Not for Everyfur?: Legitimization and De-legitimization of Furrydom?" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CRIMINOLOGY, Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Atlanta, Georgia, Nov 14, 2007 . 2012-02-07
Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: To date there have been no serious sociological studies of the furry subculture. Though a common definition is elusive, a furry is a person who has strong personal associations with animals/animal characters and/or asserts a particular animal identity. These identities encompass an expansive range of activities from playful dress-up and chatter to bestiality or claims of ?species dysmorphia.? This paper is a content analysis of the strategic language of on-line communities dedicated to pro-fur culture; websites with such names as tigerden.com, fursuitsex.com, furcentral.com, and others that intend to not only create a community for furries but also to normalize their activities by neutralizing potential stigma. Though it is not a study of the ?crime? of furverts per se, we do also analyze the content of the strategies of those who attempt to de-legitimize those who desire the pleasures of the fur by embracing legal statutes. Similar to other deviantized and criminalized sexualities, zoophilia (perhaps even plushophilia) faces the articles of law that are rather vague and intentionally worded to allow prosecution and persecution of those who engage in untoward behaviors. Comparing not only furry vocabularies of identity and strategies of community with legal vocabularies used to thwart such efforts, we find that this discursive struggle is extensively similar to ones undertaken by other deviantized sexual groups in the past.
A new book features a chapter co-written by Dr. Eller on "Furries and their Communities":
