I would say that it's true

While she didn't get me into the fandom, she at least is more than a fanservice character.

Yes, absolutely. Cassie is probably one of the first furry OCs I remember really encountering, and it directly led me to explore the fandom more.

Your site with her band's artwork and stories are a huge reason I started writing furry lit myself. Not to mention my like of tall girls and lingerie.

Totally! Back in 2005 when I was only two years into the fandom, I found Cassie. She was one of my first fandom crushes! I still admire her and all of your work. I’ve always tried to find a female furry guitarist, and only in the last year have found one IRL. We are friends and it’s amazing. Thanks for the inspiration!

Dunno. I've been riding this crazy train since the very early 1990s so I probably encountered Cassie early on. I do recall that she definitely got my attention and I've been bewitched by Vixens ever since.

I used to read those stories back in the day on your site. So, I wouldn't say Cassie was responsible, but she drove the nail in. :3

I was always a furry, but I discovered the fandom in 2009 via art of Cassie the Rock Vixen, so yeah she's the reason I got into it lol

Definitely kinda late here, but vixens were my gateway drug into the fandom and Cassie was no exception. I ran into someone who roleplayed her on AOL over 30 years ago; obviously not with your permission but it introduced me to your story series!
