somehow i've managed to stumble across furries my whole life, one i was best friends with for most of my younger years, one i lived in the same house as but we had difficulty understanding each others humour, now i've been in a writers circle and although it is not in the open, he IS writing about his anthro dragoness character and i'm not making any assumptions but I also am -definitely- making assumptions.
current IRL friends are 95% non-furry though, and no one knows anything ahah
