So I've been asking around Reddit (4chan's a little too hostile for the fuzzily inclined) about various aspects of the furry fandom. If I were to compile the lessons I've gathered into a book, what topics should I cover? And if such a guide exists, where can I find it?

I've seen quite a few furs who tend to wear/enjoy collars as fashion items and fursuit accessories and all. They look super cute, they're fun, and you can even clip your badges and IDs to them when you go suiting for a cool way of

Do any of my fellow reddit furs have a collar for their fursuit or fashion wear?

I'm planning on wearing my new, shiny collarfactory purchase with my newer, shinier, remodeled fursuit once I finish it :3 img has been furrified for furry viewing

I am intentionally glazing over the fetish aspect of collars to keep this thread SFW

Before I start, I want to say that I know that I don't need to contribute. That I don't need to contribute to actually be a furry. By simply admiring anthropomorphic creatures and the community's art, I can be a part of the community.

But... I've been lurking in the furry community for... I want to say almost two years now. I've never really taken part in any discussions, I haven't really met or made friends with anyone else in the community, and overall I'm pretty inactive in the actual community. I'd like to be active, but I'm not sure how to exactly... go about doing that.

I'd love to be able to draw for the community too, but I just keep losing motivation to actually learn. I have two characters that I continually wish to draw, but being the perfectionist I am, I never get far with any sketches because I hate the way they look, and thus I never learn. I can never visualize things well in my head either, so getting angles down or figuring out how something should look seems like a nightmare to me. I can pull up a reference, sure, but that never seems to help as I can't exactly tell what makes that reference actually look good. As such I have no art of my characters, no reference sheet, nothing. I'd love to get them out there, but I don't see how I actually can at the moment.

What I'm saying is that I want to actually take part in the community and not watch it from the side feeling useless, yet I'm unsure how to go about doing so. What can I do? I'd love to contribute in any way I can.

The past three weeks have been really trying for me. Someone or a group of people stole stuff from my family. Just recently I found out they have attempted to use financial stuff to go against me and I have put out a police report and the financial institution is doing their own investigation. I may have matured a lot since I was younger but it still burns my stomach to heck these persons have attempted to do this to me.

The stuff they stole had sentimental value to me. Some other stuff, it's just stuff, material things which can be easily replaced. It feels like things have been a very steep slope which I am attempting to stop the downward slide. I still think about it and it's very raw. I am OK and things will hopefully turn out OK, which I think usually does. I'm not really a religious person but I think of one song which states for any payoff for having any faith is to be tested again and again. I really want to feel safe, know my future is OK and just want to feel what I quantify as normal. Any suggestions to help feel a normalcy in my life is appreciated.

Hi, Charon,

Could you give me some more information? Who are these "group of people"? Do you have a good idea who they are? What do you mean they attempted to use financial stuff to "go against me"? How did they steal stuff from you? Did they break into your house? I need more information, please, before I can reply.

Thanks,

Papabear

Random person or persons wanting to steal stuff for their own monetary gain and not giving a hoot about the other person, namely me. I don't know the people. Stole bank information, which thankfully the bank I go to caught it in time and no money was withdrawn.  Storage facility.

* * *

Hi, again, Charon,

So the bank situation has been taken care of, but you have lost the items from the storage unit. Sorry to hear that. It is, frankly, rare for someone to live out one’s life and not be a victim of theft at least once. When I was living in Ferndale, Michigan, a kid broke into my home and took jewelry, my bicycle, and broke into my great grandmother’s cedar hope chest. The irony of the break-in was twofold: first, the chest wasn’t locked and all that was in it was afghans; and second, they stole worthless jewelry while leaving the more expensive stuff behind (kid didn't know what he was doing, obviously, leaving a diamond ring and taking a high school class ring instead, for example). I didn’t care about the jewelry or the bike, but it cost me $300 to fix and restore the hope chest, which pissed me off royally because it was so senseless and because that was the one piece of furniture in my home that had sentimental value at the time. The police were no help at all, even though one of them told me that “we know a kid in the neighborhood who has been breaking into homes.” Never did a thing. I later went to the police station to file an addendum to the missing items and the cop in charge of the case vaguely looked at it while chatting with his buddies about his summer vacation plans. Useless.

But I digress. I have some words of advice regarding storage units (I’m full of advice, ain’t I?) First of all, if you have a lot of valuables in a storage unit, you should purchase insurance for it. Secondly, items of great value should go in a safe deposit box or a home safe (make sure the home safe is fire resistant). If they are too large for either, I would just keep them at home and, perhaps, purchase a home alarm system.

As with any theft, there is a sense of personal violation that follows. The idea, for me, that someone was in my home going through my things makes me feel very creeped out. I understand that you would feel the same. Unfortunately, there is no way for anyone to be 100% safe. You can take precautions, lower the risk of it happening again, but it could still happen. And as for things like banks or even retail stores, if you watch the news, hackers are constantly compromising the databases full of personal information for millions of people. When it comes to banks, your money is insured by the FDIC, so even if it’s stolen you should be able to get it back. And with credit cards, if people steal your card and start making purchases, you are not liable for them (sometimes you can owe up to $50, but that’s usually the max and I believe that is only if you are shown to have been negligent). Not that I’m a huge fan of credit card companies, but mine has been very good at informing me immediately if they see a suspicious purchase, such as the time they noticed “I” bought a plane ticket to Idaho. They have a full history of my purchasing behavior, and since that was unusual, they contacted me right away. They did so, too, when they noticed a purchase worth hundreds of dollars for online video games, and they knew that was unlike anything I had bought before.

You have a very good attitude about merchandise without sentimental value being just “stuff.” That’s exactly what it is. Just stuff, and I’m glad that part doesn’t upset you so much. Just be more cautious about things with sentimental value, is what I would advise for you. However, in the end, even those items are really just stuff, too. 

As the Buddhists say, it is our attachment to things that causes us pain. Where there is no emotional attachment to things, no harm can come to you should something happen to them. It reminds me of a story about the late Jim Henson (the Muppets creator). One day, he was returning to his car in a parking garage and noticed the trunk had been broken into and some very pricey camera equipment had been stolen. His reaction? “I guess someone needed it more than I did.”

You can’t control other people’s actions, but you can control your response to them.

Blessed Be,

Papabear

Since there are ~75% of you here (the rest are mostly Europeans); I was wondering in what province/state do you live in?

So yea. That's it. Nothing here.
