Hi, r/furry! I'm a graduate student and I want to learn more...will you share your stories?
Hi, r/furry!
I’m a graduate student studying clinical mental health counseling at a large university in the US. For those who might not be aware, clinical counselors are licensed professionals who provide therapy and mental healthcare to individuals, couples, and families. In the state that I live (and will eventually be licensed) in, we have the same scope of practice as psychologists. I’m in the second year of a 2-year program, and am currently taking a course about multiculturalism in counseling. In the course we are learning about different cultural issues that might impact our work as counselors, and how to manage those issues in respectful, productive ways.
One of our assignments this semester has been to pick a culture that: a) We have some type of negative preconceptions about b) Constitutes a clear culture or values system c) Has been disenfranchised or oppressed and to immerse ourselves in that culture. I have chosen the Furry Fandom for this project because I want to learn more about what makes the Fandom unique and how a counselor who is not part of the community can best serve those individuals. So far I have attended a Furry convention and interviewed one person I was lucky enough to meet randomly on my campus. The assignment requires that I interview at least four more people, but of course I would love to hear from as many people as are comfortable to share :D
I understand some people may have reservations about participating in an interview with someone outside the Fandom due to the way some people have portrayed the Fandom and members of it in the media. I invite any and all questions about what this assignment is here as comments or in a PM. I would like to conduct the interviews over PM here on reddit or through email (if you feel comfortable with that) so that individuals may feel safe sharing their stories without judgment.
When this project concludes, I will write a paper and do a short 5 minute presentation for my class about what I have learned and how it will inform my practice as a counselor. The only benefits I will receive from this are 1) knowledge and understanding of a culture different from mine, 2) a grade on an assignment and 3) hopefully some new friends.
If you would be interested and willing to share with me, please PM me and we can coordinate the best way to do an interview. I appreciate everyone in advance for being so open and happy to help. You guys rock :D

What's your best furry-related idea that you can't seem to get off the ground?
It could be anything. Big or small. A fantastic idea for a book, a cool piece of art, a small business, etc.
Example: I've always wanted to write this epic fantasy adventure I have planned out for one of my characters, but I just don't write as much as I used to. :/

Yet another free art thread
So yeah I wanna draw but dunno what to. I've participated in a lot of these so I guess I should make my own sometime right? But be warned I'm super bad. Like look at this shit: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/rainbolt/
So yeah post your refs or whatever. I can't promise how many I'll do or when they'll be done but go for it. They'll probably be sketches or headshots or something simple. I just wanna have some fun.
Edit: Alright done for now, gonna be heading off to bed soon and want to get some relaxing time in. Thanks everyone! I might do another one of these some other time.

Undertale style sprites for myself and friends
My first finished digital painting. Harsh critique is welcome, please read my comment first though.
What are some furry themed games that you want to see?
So, I've been thinking. I'm a gamer and I play a lot of games, old ones, new ones, triple A, indie, all sorts of stuff, and I've noticed that, even though there are definitely furry games out there, like Tail Concerto, Solatorobo, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Starfox, etc, there's still a lot of potential for new, unexplored territory.
What kinds of games would you guys like to see out there that don't already exist? Do you have any ideas worth exploring? Let's hear your creativity!
