Hi, everyone. Since our fora seem to have a bigger concentration of furry fans than most locations in the internet, I thought we might as well get them together and share ideas and opinions.
That is to say, this thread is not meant to lure them all to the same space so it can be destroyed with strategically placed bombs to reduce their numbers.
Seriously though, no NSFW links without warning and no trolling, please. All who post on this thread are legally obligated to help the club in all its warfare efforts. If we need a topic of discussion to start the thread off with, here's one that's been in my mind recently. What makes you, specifically, identify yourself as a part of the furry fandom? What does that label mean to you? edited 14th Aug '10 12:47:48 PM by Kerrah Knowing is growing.

I do not identify as a furry despite having many interests that coincide with my personal definition of the word. I have the interest in anthro animals. I have for a while. Why I even have a fursona esque thing (it's a male spider monkey).

Spidermonkey? Isn't that what Edward calls Bella in Twilight?

Well, at least Twilight has had one positive effect on humanity. The idiotic masses of the internet will tell you: "You may a furry, but at least you're not a Twilight fan."

Yes.

I like Twilight because it can be so bad it's good at times. I do not genuinely like it however...
Speaking of monkeys...I really love Sten.If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan Chah

I'd prefer if this was less about linking artwork and more about serious discussion.
Now as for the question I started the thread off with: I don't feel any real, universal companionship with other furries. It feels nice to talk to them, but I only feel a bond when I know them personally. I'm not a huge fan of animal-based stories. I'm not an artist.

I adore animal based stories, but don't desire to write them. I doodle furries in my spare time.

I'm an aspiring author, and really, right now I'm inclined against anthropomorphic animals in my stories because I don't know what I'd do with them. From a narrational standpoint, I see no role they'd fulfill that other species can't.

![]() Oh My
That's part of why I don't write with them. I kind of want them to have some sort of point...

oh hai
Pretty much the first people I befriended online were furries and I kinda got dragged into that and identified myself with it and wanted to write my "magnum opus" with furry characters including a fursona of mine but then somewhere down the road I realized that... I'm not enough of a furry to really identify myself as one.
I do love them as, well, "interesting-looking" humans, and I want to start drawing Cute Monster Girls more again because I enjoy playing with humanoid body designs.

So. We need to create a mix-up-word-thing between "furry" and "troper".
Furoper? Trorry?
Knowing is growing.
I missed this avatar.
Furper.
(Not a furry, just poked my head into the thread out of curiosity)

^ Keep telling yourself that, honey.
Also, that's an excellent suggestion. All opposed?

Also, the word funny reminds me. We need to create a trope called "crowning moment of furry".

I think "furper" would inevitably lead into "herp furp derp"
Edit: I...I didn't mean to kill the thread. I'm Seamus. I'm kind of a furry, in that I like anthropomorphic animals. Working on being able to draw them.

rrrrrrrrr
I like the characters when they appear in fiction, I have friends who identify as furry both locally and online, and I draw anthropomorphic animals now and again. I also run a small modern-magical wind-in-the-willows type text RP online. Nothing special.
All in all, I'm not a furry, but I sometimes play one online.
