It's my first day!
12 years ago
Welp, FA, here I am. I've been a furry for most of my life, but I never got 'out' into the community much; sure I spend time on Tapestries MUCK, and I used to hang on FurryMUCK as well, but... well, until today I don't think I ever had an account or profile on a furry artist site. I also have a tendency to avoid the local RL furry community, but that's another story altogether >.>
I'm not really sure what to say about myself, or even really what people would be curious to know. Uhm. Well, I guess for starters Leigh isn't my real name, but it's a name I'd love to have. You know, I should maybe claim that name on Taps and FM, if they haven't been taken. On Taps I'm 'best' (for lack of a better term) known as Alyssin, which is another name I love. I love them both, and can't decide on which one I like more, so... yeah. Heh.
"Why don't you just change your name?" you might be thinking? Wish it were that easy. Y'see, while I 'identify' myself as female, and consider myself so, physically I am not. I'm sure there will be those out there who will judge me on that. So be it. But virtually, I can be who I truly am, not as ended up.
If this bothers you, dear ready, then, well, go away. Can't be helped. If it doesn't bother you, then thanks!
This has been my biggest problem for almost my entire life; 30 year at least. It's left me deep in the bowels of depression (picture that!) for all that time. Filled me with decades of self-loathing, destroying every fiber of self-esteem and self-worth that I have. Being able to spend some of my time being myself, virtually, has helped some, at least in recent years.
Wow, you know.. I've barely been able to tell any of my family this, yet here I am posting it to some website where I don't know anyone, for all the world to see. Shit. What am I doing?
I guess I'm looking for a little understanding. I know the furry community tends to be open-minded, while reality is often not.
*clears throat*
I love writing. I RP online a lot; not just on MUCKs, but on play-by-post forums. If I were more reliable at getting it done (long story..) I'd love to try and make a living of it. Its a passion. I've always had issues applying myself, though. That's probably another long story, though perhaps it's related to the above. I dunno. I enjoy it though, writing that is. Not inconsistency, heh. When I dive in, and get on a roll, I can write for hours.
One of my plans here, if it is possible, is to try and post some of my writing. Admittedly, most of it is crap, but as I refine it I would like to share it. I don't have a preference for genre, aside from fiction, hell I don't even always write furry stuff.
So yeah. There it is.. there's me.
