My experiences in the furry fandom, in a nutshell.
18 years ago
I was introduced into the fandom in the latter half of 2004, by a friend of a friend who just so happened to be a kangaroo. This was while I was still living in Kansas.
Pretty soon I had taken hold of the idea of the fandom and became involved in it mostly because I saw it as an adventurous hobby/lifestyle. For the next few months I spent hanging out with the locals, attending meets, and whatnot. I had created a fursona based off my love for wolves, and a bit of an expression for my sheltie, and that's where "Devious Wolfie" came from.
Pretty soon I had been active on some sites, forums, irc chats and whatnot but people soon started to love to hate me mostly due to the fact that I am a 'camwhore' (their words, not mine)
Regardless of that though, I had made some friends in the locals, some lived about 15 miles away from me, and I visited them once or twice outside of the times there were meets, and I could basically say that there was no real drama until later when some guys took a 14 year old fur home one night and .. yeah... thats pretty much that..
Mostly online, I had dealt with alot of real freaks getting attached to me and I had just cut them off, because I wasn't going to deal with online relationships. I did upset quite a few people but they accused me of leading them on, but whatever.. their stupid mistake.
Later on, through the power of POUNCED.ORG I had acquired a wolf friend in Florida, and after one thing led to another, we moved into an apartment in Tampa, and tried the local furry community only to realize they were nothing but trouble.
We tried for a year to figure out the locals but we never really got anything but drama, as the Florida Furs seem to be made of.
After 2007 came around, I had developed into a 'new' fursona, a white wolf , an anthropomorphisized cocktail drink , Jakerz Inc, the Pina Colada Wolf. This came out mostly because I have a distinct taste for Pina Colada.
Somewhere in this point in time , I had been banned from most online furry communities, chatrooms, and the like because of my own stupid mistakes or habits, but more often than not the real reasons are usually a result of lies and shit that furries have tossed around, twisted and well, its just like highschool all over again.
In every sense of the phrase, my reputation in the fandom exceeds who I really am, and that hurts somewhat when people don't want to take the time to get to know the real me, instead they see what lies have convinced people to believe I am this person in the lies.
Fast forward to late April 2007, and I've come to a realization, that I am not as 'wolf' as I may think I am. After looking back into my history before furry, and even after, and looking at my habits and characteristics , I came to a conclusion that I was something more than a wolf.
So that is why I have chosen the tiger.
I do have a longer drawn out version of what's happened in my history with furries, so I will post a link to that if you want to read it, but be warned , its got so much drama in it, that you'll probably die from radiation poisoning.
