A Year Now
10 years ago
So, it's been just over a year now that I've been on FurAffinity. I created an account here to facilitate looking at people's profiles that were linked to in a con report, but once I was here, I was hooked. I set about creating a fursona, and after some soul-searching, came up with Bernie the Wolf. You can read the older journals and story snippets to find out all about him.
Anyway, I didn't just arbitrarily choose to be a wolf. The wolf in me goes a long way back, to childhood in fact. I enjoyed reading a number of books with personified and/or anthropomorphic animal characters, typical canine or feline, with a side interest in eagles. The walls of my bedroom were covered with posters showing pictures and drawings of various wildlife. I went with the wolf character, especially since reading David Eddings' books, and his depictions of wolves therein.
Lately I have been spending a lot of time in IRC, and feeling ever more in touch with my alter ego, something that seems to be spilling over into real life somewhat. The more time I spend in tune with my fursona, the easier and more natural it becomes.
