animals are my life, i work with them, relax with then, and well, are a huge part of my life.

i know of the fandom quite allot of years, i just loved the art, but calling myself furry is something i did do 1 year ago, tho my family thinks me being furry longer.
my family totaly supports me in this, they like it and find it funny when i pad around in suit.

as i come from the larp field, i found the animal suits always funny, but i got into the fandom because of art, i just love art.
the world cant change if you don't start.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Creepers, for thou art weak and easily blown to bits.

oh oh.. good topic :D

I found out about furryfandom, from my friend... He watched pictures, and I questioned what is this. XD So, he needed to explain for me, what furry is... When he finished, I grinned, and say " Well, that's fit me... I was a furry all the time, just don't know how to name it..." :D
Sorry for my bad english ^^
Open for commisions! :)

Never really fit in with mainstream society and i found out about the fandom via internet and that just kinda fit me to a T. even when i was younger when i seen the cartoons with anthros (namely lion king LOL) in them i would fantasize about becoming one. then when i was older i found books like Lifes Dream by Bernard Doove and the His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman only allowed my fascination too grow more and more

I supposed I found out during my years as a big Star Fox fan in middle school (still am, but not quite as avid). As such, I went online in search of Star Fox info and art (some results of the latter kind of ruined my innocence; google safe search isn't as effective as one would think x_x). Anywho, in the course of my websurfing I eventually found out about the fandom. Other than the plethora of starfox-esque anthropomorphic creatures, I was impressed by the creative energy within the fandom, and was subsequently inspired to begin writing furry fiction. B)

Well, I guess I got my start in the fandom with video games. I've always been a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog (though the latest games leave something to be desired) and I loved the fan art. This, of course, ended up being a gateway to the rest of the fandom. I started looking through the various pieces of art and literature, both clean and yiffy, and I found that it appealed to me.

About 2 months later, I was talking on one of my earlier forums, and someone mentioned that they were a "furry". Being the curious type, I googled the word, and I came to a site known as "Wikifur". There, I found the definition and I was like "There's a word for that?!  o.O ". From there I accessed a furry community known as "Furtopia" and here I am, 3 years later.

Star Fox started it all. Played Star Fox 64 and I love The Lion King so eventually I found furrys when looking up more information on Star Fox and their storyline. Read up about my furries and decided that I would like to be one. More or less in a nutshell.

Well, to be honest, it's all thanks to my fetishes; I have myriads of very weird and unorthodox fetishes that look better on anthro characters, and that's what ultimately caused me to discover the furdom. I joined FA in April 2010 but stayed in denial until February 18th of this year when I realized that I really was a fur.

I think I may have always been a Furry, but never knew there was a name or a fandom for it. If I would have known about this a few years ago my life would be soo different.

I think my first Furry Fantasy was when I randomly thought up a story of some furries and played around with that in my head for a year or so. My imagination was wild back then but it usually stemmed off from things I had seen or experienced. Like for instance, I watched dothack and a day later I had randomly thought up an idea for my own MMO that me and my friends would reenact during recess. I'm not sure what may have lead to my first imagination of Furries.

Later on in life, around freshman year I think, someone introduced me to Redwall. I hated reading until that book. Then I checked out Redwall series books as often as the library would allow. One of my favorite parts of the series was how well they described food!

Then a year later or more, I went to a friends house and they had Furry posters all over their room. That was the first time I had actually seen a picture of a Furry. I never once asked about them though because I sort of thought they were weird. Well, weird to see them hanging around all over the room.

Then, the moment of truth! Just this year my cousin had introduced me to some very interesting pictures of Furries. Some of a very artistic nature which I enjoyed. And some others of a less than good moralled nature, which I equally enjoyed.  0:)

Something just sort of popped once he showed me those drawings and told me the name Furries. I was instantly hooked. Then some time later I got tired of keeping my new found interest to myself. I end up introducing my best friend to furries. He thinks they are weird and has no interest in them.

So I then turned to the internet where not only is judgement something to not worry about, there is a whole world of people with whom to talk!

That's how I ended up here.

Hmm, I've always loved nature, and felt a stronger bond towards all the animals of this world besides humans. Humans just...didn't seem natural to me. I don't know why exactly. But eventually I ended up unconsciously aquiring a fursona. I looked into this sort of thing and found it wasn't uncommon. The rest is obvious.

Also, I find humans boring and furries more interesting and cute.
