FA is really an educational place to be.

I can't say that there's anywhere else I can think of where I can upload mundane character art only to have it be surrounded by buttsex on all sides on the 'recent uploads' page.
I also didn't know that there was not only a sneezing fetish, but a whole community based around that. But FA's ads have educated me otherwise.
Weirdness aside and all of the stigmas associated with the furry fandom and all the odd fetishes people have though,(which, you know, I'm not into, as any quick look through my submissions or favorites will tell you, but to each their own. Not like it's hurting anyone, I suppose.) I still prefer FA as an art community than anywhere else I've been. I've gotten more people that I don't know looking at my art here than anywhere else on the internet, and even if it's not fanart, it gets looked at.
And favorited.
And even COMMENTED on.
That, and people are generally genuinely friendly here. There are a lot of spectacular artists to follow that would likely otherwise get swept under the radar.
In relation to that, I want to say thank you to everyone who started following me and who favorited me because of the derpy little comic I made about my cat. It really is a nice feeling to have other people relate and respond to something I posted, and even if I don't get back to you about it, I appreciate it a whole lot.
Actually, this post was mostly about finding out there was a sneezing fetish. That just seems such a weird thing to make a fetish of.
Who knew?

I've always liked anthro art but I was never really active in the furry fandom until late 2005 during a really, really horrible time of my life and I found myself in need of a place to "hide" from the person who had hurt me. What I found was a group of people who were more caring, accepting and eager to make new friends than any pocket of the anime fandom.
I work at an anime convention every year, and after coming home from all the noise and drama... all I want is a big, furry hug.
