How did YOU become furry? =)

[Leogon7 Coleo]

I became a furry at heart when I was around 4 , i had a dinosaur toy that i reely loved , even after a now x-step bro broke it .
I liked the usual games (sonic,timestalkers,marioworld,ect) and as a result became very attached to games. The next 9 years of my life developed my imagination and by 13 i was a total gamer freak , up until now i had no idea what "Furry" meant.

As laim as it sounds I was pushed over the edge by a pokemon, Lucario   After meeting it i was determined to possess it and shortly after I managed to get one. After seeing "Lucyo" which was the nickname i gave it, my imagination was overloaded with adventures that included us together, All i ever did was call it a phase and push the thoughts away, i knew it wasn't normal ...
I kept rejecting it until i was starting to dream about it, in the dreams we lived out many hardships and the dream that ill remember forever...
It was a dream about an alternate futer, i was living on a secluded island with her as a wife and 8 children, 4 were like a halfway between riolu and lucario, the notable differences being that their hands were human shape and they had wings ? When thinking about it all of us did, all of our wings were the same light blue feathers too , the other children 4 were argonians with wings ? and yet i found them so perfect

The image that i remember most vividly was my reflection in a wall made of mirror I saw my true form, i was a slim and handsome argonian with the same beatiful blue wings as everyone else and i knew then and thee that was who i wanted to be.

over the next few years up until now all ive ever done is plan how i will live out my dream  and during that time i also learned that the speicies i dreamt about was called a draconian.

I found this site when i tried to see if I had a mental condition, was i a freak ? was there anyone like me ?
I couldn't talk to anyone about it it was too awkward and i was afaid ...

So thats why im here, to share my insane fantasy without fear or shame.

Something I remembered that I hadn't put in my original post, I started feeling furrier after reading the Twilight Saga (A good bit before the movies came out and ruined them). After hearing this stuff about Jacob, and because I'm part Native from a tribe near to the one he's in, I just felt how awesome it would be to be an animal, then I started acting more animalistic and drawing were creatures, so I started drawing anthros way before I discovered the fandom. I just realized how glad I am for Stephenie Meyer's existence now......

Well I found out about this fandom from a furry bashing T.V show (CSI: Las Vegas) so I looked at WikiFur and it turned out that I have always meant to be a furry but never realised it 

[Defensivefurthewin]

Well, I have always been a fan of anthro type character ans as a small child i would always lie in bed thinking about being in a world of human like animals and then I heard about the... 'Adult side of it all which interested me and then i landed here
Fun times xD

[Seko]

in short i became a furry because:

1.i wanted a tail
2. i always feel like i have fox ears (but like astral invisible ones lol)
3.im quite passionate about animal rights issues

all in all it landed me here

Well, I was 7, and I loved Disney movies. yup thats right, Disney furrys hooked me. [removed] I becaome introduced to the actual fandom by a friend I met on the internet. before I met him, I used google images . It kind suprised me that I'd never been linked to FA or anthrocon or the likes. I wanted to get into the fandom, because, to this day, 4 years later, I've never gotten harassed by anyone on FA. It really suprised me because I found out the hard way when I signed up for my  forum, that the internet is full of grade A A-Holes I love the fandm because the fandom seems to love me

We don't "tear people up"... Only trolls. And next time you see something you know is against the rules, take the time to report it instead of commenting on it please.

*Superman theme music plays*  Zephyr comes to save the day!!!!  lol


I found the fandom while I was just boppin' around on the 'net.  I've always loved anthro characters, and had even written a couple of stories with anthros before I ever found the fandom.  The first stuff I found was... a bit questionable, to say the least, but I kept digging and found quite a few respectable sites (such as this one) and joined.  (Not that I don't enjoy a bit of questionable material on occasion... lol)  My parents kinda shut me down for a bit last year, but I'm back in full force now!  FURRIES RULE!
