KCfur BBQ!!!! AKA Vayne's Debut!!!
12 years ago
Sooo...today was a big day for me. In the short form....it's because I went to my first fur even and it was flippin sweet!!! Now...the long version.
So since I decided to try to join the furry fandom, I've always been a little hesitant. I mean, I roleplayed as a wolf when I was younger, but I didn't think this was the thing for me. I tested the waters for a while and watched a few artists. I even put a little bit of thought into my character. And I mean a little bit. So little, in fact, I think it was making my furry mentor a little irritated with me. Then some personal shit happened and I went on a 4 or 5 month hiatus. I came back to almost 1,000 submissions to look through, and like 100 journals to maybe read. And I took care of all that, but I was still on the fence about this whole situation.
Then my mentor/friend, in an effort to hang out with me since I dropped out of college, invited me to the BBQ. And I decided to go. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, didn't know if there was a certain way I should act, etc. But I went to the BBQ and the after party. And I had a blast! I met some really cool people, seen like four or five different full fursuits(THEY WERE THE COOLEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN PERSON), and got a crap load of scritches. I don't regret my decision at all.
So now, my spot in this fandom is no longer shaky. I love it. I love being Vayne. I love hugging everyone. I love being tackled by fursuiters. It was.....It was actually pretty eye opening.
Thank you to anyone who is reading this and made this night so special for me.
