Thanks, Drago! I need all the help and interviews I can get to have a proper sample. I'm expecting two interviews in the morning, but I'm open all the way through the night of the 23rd. I may be able to squeeze in one interview on the 24th.

For those that haven't heard or seen me at a con, I'm a 20 year furry and a 3rd year PhD student. I'm conducting an auto-ethnographic and ethnographic study of us as a community. I'm interviewing people in the style of Paul Hodkinson and Paul Willis to gather stories and experiences from furries around the world. I'm not going to ask anything uncomfortable or weird and this is a purely academic study with anonymized data. I'm not going to make us look bad or write anything sensational. If you're familiar with my previous academic publication it's probably going to be relatively boring.

My goal with this study is to give our community a platform to tell our stories in our own words and apply theory to it to see what can be learned.

And I have to say, I look absolutely adorable in your style, Drago!
