Furries

Do you guys know what a furry is? 

According to the internet, a furry is "a diverse community of fans, artists, writers, gamers, and role players. Most furries create for themselves an anthropomorphized animal character (fursona) with whom they identify and can function as an avatar within the community. Some furries wear elaborate costumes or paraphernalia such as animal ears or tails, or represent themselves as anthropomorphic animals in online communities such as Second Life."

So yeah, I'm a furry. For me, I like it for the same reason I enjoy cosplaying. It's a great creative outlet, and tbh the people at furry conventions are a lot easier to handle than the people at comic conventions (they are lot better with the whole "NO TOUCH" thing). 

I have a partial fursuit that I made (shown below), and I go to a convention every year, and various fun events around town! I really enjoy the activities, my fellow furries, and it's super fun to make these things!

Our yearly furry convention is coming up soon, and I will be sure to post lots and lots of pictures!

Does anyone have any questions about furries in general, or what I do in particular?

I had a friend in highschool that was into furry life. Very nice person, always wanted me to go to Anthrocon with them. I think he was a Little too.

I can't wait to see your photos! ^^
The suit looks stellar~

I've heard Anthrocon is a fun one! Thank you for the compliments on my suit! ^_^
Yeah, there is a huge overlap with Furries and Littles. That one always suprises me.

My interaction with furry fandom has been mostly second hand.  A girl I went to high school with, actually the first person to have a crush on me, was a low-key furry.  She wore a collar, ears, and tail fairly frequently on campus when she went to college.  I was casually involved in the BDSM community in upstate NY for a few summers, and saw a little overlap, but not really that much, between the two groups.  I tend to occasionally wander into puppy play, but a furry I am not.

I do, however, appreciate the hobby-meets-alternative-lifestyle thing, and totally respect the labor of love that goes into fursuits.

It was really fun to make the fursuit! And there is just so much creativity in the fandom. There is some really cool art, felting, and sculpting that I've seen at conventions. 

Hilariously, although I'm a furry and I also like BDSM... puppy play doesn't interest me! I'm not sure on my logic on that one, but oh well!

I do love some of the furry art that used to filter through on DA.

Maybe if it were panda play?

Hahaha! Fun fact about real pandas, it's pretty hard to get them to have sex with each other. So panda play would involve "feed me, then leave me alone".

Okay, that actually sounds amazing.
