What I am thankful for most in the fandom...
12 years ago
If you had asked me that a few years ago, I probably would have said the art. Now a days however, the art comes in second. I would definitely say the wonderful friends I have made in the last few years are what I am most thankful for. The warmth, the support, the silly and sometimes serious conversations have surrounded me in a warm fuzzy feeling like that of a big bushy tail wrapped around me. It's funny... I have been a furry for over 15 years, but only semi recently have I actually started accumulating furry friends within the fandom, thanks largely in part, to Twitter and it's immense furry community.
I won't sit here and say that ALL furries I have met along the way make me feel that way. I know it's quite popular to state that the furry fandom is all warm, friendly, awesome furs. While that is true for many of them, I would be lying if I said some didn't turn me off, annoy me, or just plain make me not like them. Especially furries who talk about nothing but sexual deviance and constant depressing/bummer sentiments. Furries like that who try to befriend me won't last long in my circle. I don't try to be judgmental, because I love furry porn/sexual talk, and can be depressing EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, but I am who I am, and if something annoys me, it is what it is. However, the "keepers" that I talk to, are wonderful and great furry friends who I would not trade for anything in this, or any other world.
Guys like
wolf-of-avalon, 
suppiewolf, DarkLombax101, 
NidoNyteHusky, and so on are all great people. Furries that I can have actual conversations with that contain substance and depth other than "LOL, That's hot!" and "Wanna yiff?" and crap all the time. They are genuine and real furs who can carry on an intelligent conversation and friendship without feeling like one hit wonders of the fandom we live and breath.
Sure, there has been some drama, heart break, falling out with some ex friends/acquaintances, etc. but that's life in any aspect I suppose. I won't let the bad eggs interfere with the goodies, obviously.
I just wanted to take a few minutes to express these feelings about what matters to me in the fandom the most, and say thank you to all of you in my circle, from very good friends to decent acquaintances, you are all very special and you make the fandom and all of it's other aspects all the more enjoyable. Gracias! :3
