I'm not sure what defines me as a furry but I do know that I have been drawing in this style way before I even knew of or used the internet (inspired from my interests in biology comics cartoons and video games). I have been aware of the fandom for a long time now but only recently ever tried to contact other members of it. I got into furry hoping to meet more people who are also interested in biology but I also like the cartoon/comic/videogame aspect of interest as well. I have only recently been introduced to other members of the fandom when I lived in ann arbor a little over a year ago.
