i’m sure my icon speaks for itself here, but i’ve definitely seen a few of you skittering about in some of our threads. show yourselves at once! maybe post your fursona even (if it’s safe for work)

    Me kinda? I’m adjacent. I think. I’ve been in and out as a lurker in the fandom for the past decade or so. I still don’t have a sona… mostly because I can’t decide what species.

    Hello! I don’t get involved in the community much (because shy), but I would consider myself as some kind of wolf.

    I’ve moved in and out of the spaces for a while but never fully immersed, in part because I didn’t feel strongly about any potential fursonas, and have a disinterest in the most popular art styles used. I’ve used a rat as an avatar in the past but I don’t consider the rat to be representative of me so much as my artist’s signature. And it’s always been drawn as a cartoon rat, not an anthro rat.

    I did used to draw a lot of aliens, monsters, and dragon-people though, and identify with those. It helped me feel stronger or more capable to imagine myself that way. If I ever do settle on an animal to present me online and join the furry community ‘properly’, it will probably end up being either a fantasy fusion, a scalie, or both.

    … Do I still get to claim I’m merely “fandom adjacent” if I’ve crafted several 'sonas and have actively played as them in various media? Asking for a friend. :P

    Entry level furry. If it’s a character I like, I might do the deed to them but I don’t seek it out outside of that

    Hi! I’m not super deep into the furry community but I do know a lot of furries and I’m in the process of getting my fursona some better-developed art, so I guess I count?

    hello, i’m a relatively new furry haha. my main sona is a bat, though i also have a goat and a snow leopard that i often switch between. currently they just exist as different avatars on secondlife, since i can’t draw to save my life.

    I’m not. I’ve always been curious about how people learn about it, realize they’re a furry, etc.

    What’s your story of how you became a furry? What does it mean to you?

      adjacent to the community since 2011; i created my fursona in 2017 because most of the people i am friends with are also furries. that remains the case. this is just kind of an intrinsic part of my personality and if i’m honest it makes talking with more normally oriented people kind of boring 😅

      Think I joined and made a fursona around 2018 but I’d thought they were pretty neat ages before. I think I took the plunge since the community appeared to be very friendly as was quite LGBT positive and I was looking for somewhere to make some friends. Went to a meet at the city closest to me and then boom, here I be :D

    +1 here, funnily. But only kind of? Kinda associated with the community when I was younger, grew a little away from it but still consider myself one? Just happy to be a dog on the internet I suppose haha
