found some of you at MCM Comicon in London today
Leezard reporting in.
Three great days here... And many more.
I've only been on reddit for three days and I already feel like this is like a second home... A very fluffy second home. In just three days I've seen more kindness out of you guys than anywhere else I've been on the Internet. And I know at this point you've all seen many posts like this... But I felt like after how supporting and kind you've all been, that I owe you this. I know that you didn't help me get out of depression or save my life or any of those things... But you were all kind... And kindness is hard to find these days especially for a furry. We all have something in common here, we're different, and most people see that as a bad thing, they see us as bad people... But you all are the kindest people I've seen... One of my friends here made me something recently... I asked him why he did it and he said that it was because he wanted to help... And then I realized just how great this community was... How great everyone was... And I just wanted to take the time to thank you all... For being there for eachother. Because some people really need it, and you all always seem happy to help... So thank you... I'm not very good at comforting people so I probably won't be able help others nearly as good as I've seen some of you helping others so this is the least I could do give back to the amazing community of /r/Furry.

Just got out of back surgery and I'm in a lot of pain. Can I count on you fellow furs to cheer a guy up?
Yep. I just came home from surgery and I feel like somebody went to town on my back with a baseball bat. I thought I'd reach out to you guys to see if maybe you could use the secret power of floofyness to help get me through it. Anything the good furs at /r/furry can say or do to bring a smile to this poor dog's face?
Edit: You guys are just awesome. I never thought I'd get this much support and I'm incredibly grateful to all of you for helping to cheer me up during a hard time. It means so much, and I wish I could give you all a hug.

For those concerned about the clique-ness of the sub...
That's how communities work. That's how EVERY group of people works. The ones who talk a lot, contribute a lot, and otherwise make their face known in a crowd are the ones that will be recognized among the others.
If you complain about it being cliquey, or you not being part of the popufurs, I urge you to talk more and be a part of the sub so it's not just those few regulars. GET INVOLVED. Literally any of you can do this...It's not hard.
I really want more people to talk more, it's fun seeing new folks around.
Trust me, I'd like to see you guys be a part of gift art way more than myself and the few others that are chosen, I'm honestly a little sick of it and uncomfortable because of the responses. But that's not our fault lol. What apparently was our fault was posting a lot.
Sorry about /rant but waking up to gift art, dreading clicking it because you're scared of what people say, and sure enough there are complaints about popular people, fuck it y'know?

Do Minors Need a Parent to Cosign for a Fursuit Commission?
Papabear,
I have been looking around for fursuit makers that allow a minor to have their parent cosign to get a fursuit, but can't find any. There are a few things saying minors cannot do commissions and a few others saying that it is just preference. I earned the money myself, though, so my parent wouldn't mind me spending it.
So my question is: Do you know of any good makers that wil do a partial suit for a minor or at least let the minors parent cosign?
Thanks!

Hi, Zazzy,
Commissioning a fursuit is not like going to a furcon, where you need to get an adult's permission or be accompanied by an adult if you are a minor. It's not like you are buying something naughty from Bad Dragon. It's just a fursuit. And if you have the money to pay for it, I'm sure most makers will take your money!
The practice of cosigning is usually only done for loans in which the person applying for the loan has no collateral (or bad credit) and needs another person with collateral to secure the loan. When you buy a fursuit, however, it is cash or charge, not a loan, so cosigning really makes no sense.
Now, if the issue is you're not sure how to pay because you don't have a charge card or a bank account (you don't want to send cash through the mail!), then run your fuzzy butt over to your local post office and get a money order for your down payment. Money orders up to $500 are $1.25 at the and $1.65 for $501 to $1,000.
When commissioning a partial or full fursuit, Papabear recommend you get a written contract from the fursuit maker stating clearly what they agree to do for you and their refund policies. While this is a little unorthodox in the furry community (most makers just refer you to what is written on their websites, but I don't think that's enough, legally), I also recommend that you set a date for the fursuit to be completed (remembering that this might literally take years) and that you also make clear what happens if you are not happy with the completed product. Papabear has received a couple letters from unhappy furries who have been let down by fursuit makers. But the contract also protects the maker, stating that payment must be received at a certain time before the fursuit is delivered. Finally, get a receipt showing payment.
It's wise of you to get a partial, since you're only 14 and might do some more growing still, which might make a full suit a bit tight on you.
Happy Fursuiting!
Papabear
