I changed my mind. Again.
8 years ago
What did the toilet say to the bathtub?
Rather than abandoning the furry community completely, I'm gonna disclose a few things. This is my perspective on the fandom, based on what I've seen on blogs and a bit of my own personal experiences.
What I don't like
-posting a fetish picture on "reddit" and asking why non-furries find that bothersome
-furry lingo
-actively defending anything with anthropomorphic animals when somebody bitches/jokes about it (not saying that only furries do this, but it's a huge waste of emotional energy)
-the explicit association with sexuality
What I like
-the generally welcoming atmosphere
-the creative encouragement
-the opportunity to put my own artistic and literary skills to use
For these reasons, I have removed "Our Human Masks" from my gallery. I'm sorry, but the stress of trying to sensitively portray other people's furs was too much, and I'm somewhat embarrassed about the result. My apologies to :icon:mysteryezekude , who showed especial interest in the project.
I'll certainly be posting art and taking commissions. As for literature, announcing plans seems to rob me of motivation. At any rate, I'm back.
Thank you for your supportive notes and comments at my short-lived departure.

I think you had just thought you were taking a tenative story-nibble.. but you ended up getting a three course meal shoved down your throat all-at-once. If you need story-writing advice.. i know of one other fur that's done a /LOT/ of story/universe building and maybe they'd be able to help give you pointers? Their name is datapacrat.
