GENERAL
*Are you a furry?
Yes in that I like furries, no in that I'm not convinced I'm the reincarnation of a chihuahua or something. So yes.
*If you have a Spouse/SO - Is he/she a furry too?
No spouse/girlfriend. Yet.
*How long have you been in the community?
It's been... Between six and eight years, I think.
*How did you find furry?
My introduction to furries was from some lame kid's signature and avatar on an old forum I once frequented. By association, I gained a strong dislike of furries (the poster wasn't offensive, per se, but they were immature, and simultaneously overly-vocal and overly-defensive about their furriness). I don't remember what the point was where my libido overcame my dislike and I just admitted to myself, 'screw it, I like part-animal chicks.'
*What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
I like chicks with fuzz between their tits, to quote a certain image by RomusZ. I just prefer it to normalcy.
*What's Furry to you?
I've been wondering about that myself lately. I'm having a hard time answering it in a way that leaves me satisfied.
*If someone found out you're a furry and asked you about it how would you respond?
Depends entirely on who it was. Most of the time, I'd try to downplay it, probably. Focus on the positive side.
*What are your favorite aspects of our community?
We tend to be pretty lax, for the most part. Many of us recognize just how insane some of our fetishes are, and therefore don't automatically condemn others for minor things like skin color or sexual preferences. There are downsides to the openness, certainly, but...
*Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
Outside of technical terms in my writing (ex. I frequently use paws as an alternative for feet), not really.
*What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
Beastiality. Drama. Fursecution.
*How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
It happens. People bash all communities. Oh well.
*How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
Probably amused, since most of the standard complaints do not apply against me. Not that there aren't plenty to level against me, but the standard "CSI/4chan/ThatTalkShow says you're a bunch of dog-****ers," stuff is way off.
*We all know furries have a lot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
I consider it a fetish. I know quite a few people who aren't in it for sexual enjoyment, but this is a question about my personal opinion.
PERSONAL
*What is/are your fursona(s)?
A member of a race of made-up hyena-like creatures. They've got both canine and feline traits, as well as saberteeth. They're also matriarchal, obviously. He's still kinda WIP, but then again so am I.
*Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
Better question: do I have any that don't? Digitigrade, tails, fur, floof, claws, fangs, muzzles, all sorts of things.
*If you could magically morph into your fursona would you?
Not unless I could change back... In which case, you better believe it.
*Do you believe you have a spirit animal?
Nope.
*What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
None at the moment. I've been in a few, though.
*Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
Anthro is greatly preferred.
*Are you a fursuiter? If yes, how many do you own? If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
Nope. I really don't understand the appeal. We haven't managed to climb out of the uncanny valley in terms of fursuit realism yet, as far as I'm concerned.
*How many of your friends are furry?
None that I know of in real life, quite a few online. The only other 'confirmed' furry I ever met was a friend of a college roommate who started drawing anthro art during a visit. I just kinda looked at it, looked at him, and shrugged. He was a decent artist, too.
*How many pets do you own, if any?
None at the moment, but I've had several.
*Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
Programming, reading (not as much, anymore), video games.
*Are you confident enough in yourself to say that you're a fur, no matter what the media says?
I've just done it, haven't I? The media gets stuff wrong on a daily basis. Some days, on an hourly basis.
MEETUPS
*Do you attend any cons? If no, would you attend any cons? If yes, which cons have you been to?
Nope. I might go to one some day, but I'd need motivation. Like, 'making money' or 'meeting close friends' motivation.
*Do you go to local meetups(bowling, public outings...etc)?
Nope.
*Have you ever attended a furry party? If no, would you attend one?
No, and probably not.
ONLINE
*Have you ever met up with a fur you talked to online?
Nope.
*What furry websites do you attend?
FA. I used to frequent FChan, but I phased it out. Yiffstar's interface made me ill, and although I regularly browse TGDFB, I don't post there.
*What non furry websites do you frequent?
Gamasutra, Lifehacker.
*Has the fandom done anything for you that you're thankful for? Has it taught you anything or brought you anything you treasure greatly?
It's certainly improved my writing skills.
And, on an unrelated note, my life has re-settled, so I'm going to set the new release deadline for noon on Thursday, 10/15.
