Title: Hello from a lurker of the fandom
Post by: EvilCorgi on July 20, 2013, 04:03:57 AM
Hello, The Furry Forums! Not much to say in this "hello there" bit, so I'll just move on. :/
I was a long time sufferer of furry-denial. I kept telling myself that I wasn't a furry, up until the point when I realized that I was browsing furaffinity, lurking on /r/furry, and creating a anthro tulpa, so i just decided to man-up and accept my place in the fandom. Speaking of my place in the fandom... I don't really have one. I've never been to a convention, I can't draw, I don't even have a fursona, really. I plan to change all of these things, but for now, I'm just an unqualified guy who wants to become more active in the community. I have a particular interest in roleplaying, but again, no fursona. If anyone has any furry must-do's that I can do for free from a laptop (cheapskate, I know) I'd love to hear from you! Uh... Goodbye, I guess? :S

The only requirement to be a furry is that you have to want to be a furry. Everything else is optional. :P

Welcome aboard!

Uh... This is probably a dumb question, but what's that mean?

Welcome to the forum ^^

The only thing to be a furry, like Winged Zephyr basically already said, is to say you are one. You don't need to have a fursona and whatnot to be a part of the furry community by the way. However, I do understand that you seemingly want to be more emerged in the furryness and the fandom. So by all means, join in on the fun ^_^

Some people take years, if not their whole lifetime creating/changing their fursona. Some are simple and some are more complicated. But all look pretty amazing in my eyes :)
If you need help with anything, I'm always open for a PM (thank you, Flarei :) Private Message), as you can also see in my signature ^^


Also, I don't usually sue my actual fursonas to roleplay with. I often come up with other anthropomorphic characters. I see a fursona as something close. More like a furry persona, which is basically what it means. So yeah :)

Also, if you need help creating a fursona, there are some topics here on the forums that could perhaps help you out ^^

Thanks! :D  As you can see, I've started developing my fursona using the "I guess that sounds okay" method.  Not very "professional" (professional fursona-creation?  :?  I dunno.) But who's keeping score?

Welcome to the forums!  :)  Don't worry at all about how your fursona is or whether it's "professional" or not, it's yours and yours alone to do whatever you want with.  :3  I hope you have a wonderful time here!  ^_^
