Hey all! ^-^
My name's Abby, and I'm a 16 year old Canadian girl who's completely new to this fandom, but also a longtime admirer. Lemme explain myself lmao
So uh... basically, ever since I was a little kid, I've always been an animal lover (how generic, I know lol). I was your average edgy wolf lover, I loved The Lion King, I was obsessed with Princess Mononoke... y'know, all standard procedure. Around age 9-10, before I even knew what a furry was, I was walking through our local Michaels with my grandparent's and saw your generic "how to draw furries" book. My mind just kinda went !!!!!!!!! and even though I had no idea what I was looking at, I immediately knew I needed that book in my life ASAP.
So, like the desperate child I was, I asked for it for my Christmas, still completely unaware of the fandom, or the stigma that came with it (I still can't help but laugh every time I think of my poor poppy stumbling up to the counter and buying a "how to draw furries" book as a 70 smth year old man). I spent hours drawing furries with that book, and my love for it grew. Not long after, I remember flipping through some Guinness World Records book (as a 10 year child does) and stumbled across a picture of a large group of furries. The moment I realized I could dress up as these animals I was drawing, I was absolutely ecstatic!
Okay yeah but long story short, I quickly discovered that furries were uh... not the most liked group, and especially once I started junior high, I decided it would be best to keep my interest in it to myself. A lot of things have happened in my teen years (as they do). Lots of drama, cringy phases, and girlfriends later, here I am: a grade 11 high school student. I just got out of a relationship with a very incredible girl, but... let's just say she had some very strong opinions on furries among many other things that I decided were best kept hidden.
But fuck it! She left me, so instead of being sad, I decided to do something with myself. This is something I've always been interested in, and even if I don't know enough about it, you guys seem really accepting and I'd really like to be a part of your community.
Lmao did you actually read all that? Kudos if you did, cause it's a lot longer than I intended ngl. So yeah... any tips on how to enter this clusterfuck of a community?

) Yes, we tend to be rather accepting. That doesn't necessarily mean you won't get an opinion or two.
