That FA Meme everyone's doing
12 years ago
It's been about eight months since I last participated in a meme of any sort so I decided to give this one a try!
1. Why did you join FurAffinity?
Well, once I'd realized I was a babyfur, I started looking for suitable artwork on various Furry sites, but since I didn't know anyone in the fandom in person and have always been incredibly shy, I didn't really know where to go until one day I stumbled upon a link to a picture (Loupy Lupine, I think) hosted on FA and just happened to notice the site had a Babyfur tag! I signed up for an account days later!
2. What does your username have to do with you?
Virtually nothing. Back when I was new to the fandom I started an account on FurryMUCK, but didn't really have a character plotted - all I knew was that I wanted to be a cat. Needing a name, and having recently read that Sylvester of Looney Tunes fame derived his name from Felis sylvestris grampia (Scottish Wildcat), I thought it might be fun to take a similar tack. I considered a bunch of cat species "Geoffrey", "Pallas", and many others, but none seemed to quite fit until I looked at the African Wildcat (Felis libyca, then, Felis caffra). I decided to convert it to a name by using a 'K' and ditching the 'A'. That's how Kaffre came to be!
I briefly toyed with ditching the account after learning that Kaffre is a racial slur in some African countries, but since it's pretty unknown in the English-speaking world, I decided to keep the name.
3. What is your current avatar of?
A cute little kitten I took a photograph of!
4. How many watchers do you have, and how many do you watch?
I have 275 watchers and I'm watching 262 people. I tend to be quiet and post so rarely that there's really not much point in clicking Watch, just check my User Page every couple of months...
5. Do you have more than one account?
No. Just this one!
6. Name 3 of your favourite artists on FA.
Hmmm I'm not really sure:
zee-zee was, I believe, the first artist I Watched and I know he's the first person who Watched me! 
munkart drew the first piece of babyfur art I ever saw and is very talented. I guess my final choice would have to be 
fredvegerano , he draws beautifully and was always extremely friendly and polite to deal with.
7. What artist do you admire because of their personality?
Everyone in my Watch List! When choosing whether to Watch someone I look at journals and comments as well as pictures, declining those liable to fill my inbox with angry, profanity laden, journals or make nasty responses to comments. I consider personality equal in importance to Art quality in any Watchee!
8. Do you comment, fave, or both?
I like to Comment, but only if I think I have something constructive, amusing, or insightful to say about the picture, artist, or characters - hopefully that's most of the time!
9. What do you typically post on FA?
Pictures of babyfurs, feeble attempts at stories, and even the occasional inane journal entry.
10.What's your favourite submission in your gallery?
Probably http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8469067/ it was mostly a fluke, but I managed to draw six different furs, all of them of different different species, and have them turn out looking quite good. Generally, everyfur I draw comes across as vaguely feline-looking...
11. What are the things you wish you could draw better?
Pretty much everything, but a particular pet-peeve of mine is when a character has to interact physically with another person or a prop of some sort. That always winds up looking dreadful.
12. How many hours a day do you spend on FA?
It's hard to say. Usually it's just quietly in the background until I click "refresh" and look to see if there's anything new - maybe an hour or two a day when all's said and done.
13. Are you a fast, slow, or medium typer?
I'll say 'medium' as I'm effectively a two-finger typist by necessity - my little fingers won't go where they're told when I attempt at touch-typing the proper way. I'm pretty quick in my own style, however!
14. What is the most annoying thing people ask you?
I can't think of anyone asking me anything, let alone anything annoying! ^^
15. What is the most annoying/offending comment you've received?
Probably the most recent Shout I've received and even that's quite tame. FA's a pretty friendly place!
16. What/who inspires you?
Pretty much everyone who's pictures and stories I consume. Due to my lack of artistic skill (and preference), however, I tend to take most of my inspiration from cute or humourous situations rather than attempting to replicate any kind of actual artistic techniques.
17. Everyone has considered leaving FA once or twice. Have you? Why?
A few months after joining, I was very lonely and bored with the site and was seriously considering leaving for good. And then I made my first FA friend! ^^

I've always heard that's one of the first things to do with any story...
