Fursona

Long meme is long, so here's some recent thoughts to even up the columns on my frontpage again.
What does your fursona mean to you?
Is it you in a different body? Is it a seperate character from you, which you just use for an avatar? Is it like you in some ways, but not in others? Is it how you wish you were?
Does it have the same background as you, or did you make up a backstory?
Does it have the same colour eyes as you? Body type? Hair?
Is it your favourite animal? Is it an animal that represents your personality type? Is it neither?
And how do each of these things affect how you behave in regards to your fursona, how do they affect how you draw your fursona, how you write your fursona, how you feel comfortable with other people drawing or writing your fursona? Do you draw or write your fursona at all?
Here are my answers:
My fursona is how I would be if I were a wolf. She's me. She's so much me that it feels strange referring to her as "she" and not "I". She has the exact same past as me, the same colour eyes, the same body type, the same long hair in anthro form (though not in quad, obviously). I chose the red wolf because it matched my personality.
I could never draw my fursona having sex. I could never write about her having sex. I would only ever do that if I had a significant other who I felt comfortable having sex with, and then I would only show the pictures to him or her. If someone drew or wrote about my fursona having sex, it would feel exactly the same to me as if someone drew or wrote about me, the human me, having sex. Because my fursona is me.
I draw my fursona, but I don't write about her. It would be rather strange, writing a story about yourself.
I know there's a lot of difference in attitude towards fursonas in the fandom, so I thought this would be an interesting topic to write about here. 8)
