Be greeted, my foonting turlingdromes.
« on: September 05, 2008, 09:08:05 PM »
Hi there,

As can be deduced from my username choice,  I am a Douglas Adams fan,  and though it has absolutely nothing to do with my affinity to anthropomorphic ... anythings,  'Turlingdrome' has always stuck to me as a ridiculously awesome word. 

I'm a Dutch student in English,  and am set to (if all goes well) become a certified teacher of the language in four years.  Rest assured,  my fluency rivals that of some native speakers, and I always take care to be respectful and courteous.  Only when it's appropriate, of course.

Why furry forums? Well,  I got in touch with the 'Fandom' following a growing affinity towards arts related to the subject, though I'll be the first to admit that I'm really still an enormous newbie when it comes to that,  and I guess the thing that started it all off,  excuse me for being cheezy and unoriginal,  was Disney's 'Lion King'.  It remains one of my favorite films of all time.

I'm not one for needlessly lengthy introductory posts,  yet make myself a hypocrit merely by the wall of text above,  so I have one more issue I'd like to see to:

My first encounter with the actual fandom would be the furryMUCK,  and there I made a 'fursona' in the form of the ubiquitous grey wolf.  I crave originality,  or at least relevance,  so I'd like to know what you guys base your fur-endowed alter-egos on,  and whether there's a thread, website, or process one could visit or go through to determine which sort would 'fit me most'? This is also why I haven't filled out the profile details on that yet. Finally, I'm not much of an artist,  but eventually it would be nice to have a graphical rendition of said fursona,  but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Hi!

Well... you can do a "personality match" to qualities of that of an animal and come up with something. For example, mine's a two-tailed white wolf... alright, the wolf is known for being a very protective of those of it's den. I would give up my life to protect those I care about in half-a-heartbeat. I think that me picking a wolf was fairly easy.

Just think about your own personality and try to match it with something... and if you come up with more than one "match", make a hybrid.

Well, mine was from a few experiences I had with some of these animals... Like, for years now, I've been doodling dragons and wolves. And only recent;y had a close encounter with a panther.

Thanks to the both of you.  Think I'll have a look around now,  see the ins and outs of this place.

EDIT: All three of you now, I suppose :P

Thing about the MUCK was that it was always crowded,  and moving so quickly you couldn't keep track very well.  Also, I believe this has way more active members.

Probably, I've never been to MUCK so I wouldn't know.

Welcome to our little community as said before just match your personality to a animal that has that same personality trait.
