20 years?!
7 years ago
Hello!
So this month marks my 20th anniversary in the Furry Fandom. It was the summer of 1998 and I was looking at websites about Don Bluth movies when I stumbled across a Secret of NIMHweb ring. (remember web rings kids? I bet some of you don't)
The ring connected to a site called Thorn Valley where people were posting art and stories about the NIMH universe. I went to the forums and people were roleplaying with OCs. My damnation was pretty much sealed at that point. XD
Fun Fact: I originally made Poco as a female character. Those of you who knew me in the early days on Fox Tails Times or Centauri's page may remember I used Cynthia Brisby as my icon before getting any character art done. He became male when my hometown got it's own con to avoid confusion.
Anyway, it's been a wild ride. I'm an actual greymuzzle now. The first grey hairs began appearing in my sideburns and beard in the last year or so. Only in furry is late thirties considered old, but I guess I'll own it. XD
On a side note: sorry I've been AWOL so much recently. I've been having a tough time the last couple of years. There was a prolonged illness that included a couple hospital stays, my mother passed away and I had a very necessary job change. But things have smoothed out now and I'm trying to be more social again. I've been hanging out on Twitter alot (@pocomouse if you want to chat) and I'm making a Telegram account too. Hope to see more of everyone!

Incidentally, I didn't know Poco was originally female, but do distinctly remember mistaking him for a girl when I first saw him so maybe there are still some hints at that in his design.
In any case, *annifursary hugs*
