Since there have been several topics about it in the various incarnations of the LD5 forums and it comes up every now and then that it would be nice to have something like that for newcomers that are still shy and insecure about the entire furry thing and what its all about, or uncertain about their feeling and what actaully IS being a furry to those who are (and since I agree that having that would be nice and a great help for said people), I thought I'd make a topic that actually has it in its title and link the older ones.
So here we got that one from the old forum where several folks very openly share their stories and thoughts of what they are, how they live with it, and how they found out about things:
http://lavadomefive.com/cs/forums/t/184.aspx?PageIndex=1, then there is
"A more serious discussion" initially about the wondering if being a furry and pawloving can go along with a normal life (which they do very well as you can read there),
"An introduction" of a space lion where he and some others tell what they like and what media was good fuel to that, and the musings of a wolf about how he found out about the furry fandom and what led him here, followed by the experiences of others in
"Furry Sighted!".
(still couldnt find the one in the ancient forum, the one even before the old one, if someone finds that feel free to post a link.)
I hope this helps those who wander, wonder or think they are lost. And if you got your own experiences or wisdom or two cents to add in whaterver way, please do so.
