Archives of user-created artwork and stories; typically non-selective.
Fur Affinity

add comment
Artwork-based community website in the style of deviantART; also hosts stories, music, personal journals and forums. The combination of mostly-unrestricted content, relatively good uptime, and oodles of popular artists have made FA the most popular furry website as of 2016.

add comment

VCL
-
add comment
Once furry fandom's most active art archive, the VCL is still one of the largest, with over 300,000 pieces plus several thousand stories. However, the site lacks features that have drawn users elsewhere, while maintaining a barrier to entry through its application policy. Adult work may be segregated into subdirectories, but this doesn't help when viewing new work; if this is a concern, use the sieve and bookmark the result.
