How I joined the fandom over 5 years ago
9 years ago
I've gotten into the fandom when I was in sophomore year in highschool.
Around the time I used to write stories about anything that I can think of.
One of these stories involve an anthropomorphic cheetah named Flint.
He was an ally to another character in the story.
Later I made a prequel story with a new cheetah character named Pink.
Later she turned into Zoey in my recent story "Newfangled".
After looking for a Nintendo entertainment system from my brother's closet, I collected video games around this time and wanted to search for Toad on Nintendo Wiki. I clicked on the phase, "Anthropomorphic" on Wikipedia. It took me to a new page showing that there's a group called, "the furry fandom". I clicked on that and learned what was a furry is. Made me realize that I probably written a furry story or something like that.
After doing research and made a few videos about the fandom and how it sounds exciting.
For the first time in my life I realize that this is something I really enjoy looking at or doing. I want to write a story that was similar to those furry stories I read up.
Around this time, I watched a little movie called "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas"
I really liked it, probably a whole bunch of furries liked it too, which got me inspired to write a few more stories similar to it.
I made another story called Newfangled. It will focus heavily on theses cheetah characters. Later on May 19, of 2011 after hanging out with my brother's friends. I read some really nice furry stories. I then realized that I could be a furry writer. On that day I became a furry. In the later part of the year I wanted to build my own fursuit of Flint. He was to be debuted on June of 2012 at AM2 in Anaheim.
About my fursuit, it was built out of things from around my house, about 50 dollars worth.
I finished it just in time for Halloween of 2011. It looked very scary at first, after many modifications, I made a version 2 of Flint. My first furmeet was in 2012 during anime expo. Later on, I had OCD which threw a wench at my furry goals.
I recovered of course and started going to furmeet again just recently in fact around April of this year.
I also made a second fursuit. Which is better than the first.
Ive seen how the fandom was in the past. Very cute, and very exciting, I wanted to be a part of this fandom, I think ever since I've seen videos about it.
The fandom changed quite a bit over the last 5 years.
when many people had 480p camcorders vs the 4K cameras that they have now.
After my first meetups with the furries, I had a different perspective on the fandom.
It was no longer an internet only thing like I used to think.
At the time of writing this I haven't published any of my stories yet that featured my fursonas.
PINK "The introduction of Zoey"
AAO's "the introduction of Flint"
Newfangled! "Has 3 of my fursonas"
So that's how I joined the fandom.
I want to make a video explaining how I joined the fandom in great detail. It would be posted on my YouTube channel
