Hello! New to the Fandom
« on: January 01, 2012, 05:36:36 PM »
Hi everyone!


My name is Grisli. I'm new to the fandom, but I like how easy it seems to be to make friends here. My fursona isn't very developed yet, but I'm working on it. I chose the bear because that's just how I imagine myself if I were an animal.


In reality, I'm a 21 year old college student putting myself through school as a freelance writer. I'd love to write some furry-based fiction once I have a better feel of the fandom and everything. I'm studying German, Spanish, and Russian. If there are any fellow furs native to those tongues, I'm a willing English study partner. :)


Enough about me, I'm really looking forward to meeting all of you!

"Those who have packed far up into grizzly country know that the presence of even one grizzly on the land elevates the mountains, deepens the canyons, chills the winds, brightens the stars, darkens the forest, and quickens the pulse of all who enter it. They know that when a bear dies, something sacred in every living thing interconnected with that realm... also dies."

Hello and welcome to the forum. I am Puncia and at your service. I hope you like it here with us.

What are your hobbies other than writing? If you want some experience with furry fiction, there is a lot of material on FurAffinity you could read. Any theme, any species and any rating, depending on what you prefer.

Thank you everyone for your warm welcomes!


Puncia, I'm also a musician, I play percussion. I also love learning foreign languages, so I guess that could be considered a hobby as well. Also, I'm a die-hard ice hockey fan and player. I've checked out FurAffinity and read a few things on there. I think I'll start a short story tonight, I've got the urge to suddenly. :D


Rasui, it's nice to meet you. Hopefully we can both develop our fursonas into something great.


Thanks Timmy! I hope so too!

I'm glad you found it inspiring! FA might have a ton of adult material but they let you filter it out if you so wish and it does have a lot of users with different talents and such.

Hello, Grisli! Welcome to the forums and to the fandom!  ^_^


So you're studying Spanish? I am as well, but I have to say it is a difficult process! How do you manage to study multiple languages at once? Do you ever mix up languages by accident?  XD


Sorry to bombard you with questions there, but please enjoy your time here!

Puncia, yeah, I noticed that. I'm not necessarily against that kind of stuff, but for the moment my writing will stay clean. I've actually submitted my first short story/flash-fiction-thing already. Well, actually, I posted it there, here, Furtopia and DA. It's called Alone. Being that it's New Year's Day, it'll probably be a while before I get any kind of real response or critique though.


Thanks Sigcutio! Yep, español, alemán, y ruso. haha. It does get confusing between Spanish and German sometimes but not with the words as much as the grammar. Like prepositions and stuff. Like in English, you say to dream about something, whereas in Spanish you dream with something, and in German you dream of something. That gets really, really confusing. I don't confuse Russian with them too much because it's completely different. Other than the alphabet, it's really a lot simpler. That said, learning languages isn't too impressive, considering I really suck at math and science. It's just my thing I guess.


Nice to meet you Tallice! Sure it counts. Sehr gut! haha

Yes! You are a potato! Here in Austria there's a different word for potato.
ICH BIN EIN ERDAPFEL! It's funnier than Kartoffel, because Erdapfel is literally earth-apple.

Yeah seriously! Prepositions are insane in Spanish. Por and para (different forms of for) in particular are driving me up the wall  XD

Lol tallice.


And I hated learning the 'por' and 'para' usage. To this day (I've been studying Spanish going on 8 years) I just use them by what sounds right in my head. I still make mistakes. It'll come with practice though, hopefully.
