Your Level Of Infatuation Towards Furry Fandom - How Far?

on the scale I'd be about a 5. I participate in online communities and attend a few meetups here and there, but I'm much more involved in the brony community.

It's probably incredibly high. The entire furry community is so interesting, and I'm pulled in by the fact that everyone *seems* accepting to really any person, regardless of your life choices/preferences/etc.

Oh yea, and anthros are fucking cool as well. I probably would have been a furry at five years old had I known about the fandom back then.

I am new to it. I wouldn't say I am big into the fandom, rather it's the anthros themselves I love. I do love some of the fursuiters, like calamity couger, flux, buddy, oki dokie coyote, etc.... It's different for everyone, since everyone has a different taste in things.

It started out with just reading a webcomic or two... Now I'm a member of several forums, read more webcomics, and I'm on the FA mainsite where I favorite stuff daily.

This fandom just keeps on sucking me in. At this rate I'll be buying art and visiting conventions by 2015. >_<

I do not know where i would fit at on the scale but i agree with everyone else from the art to the community to watching fur music videos. i dont let it dominate my lifebut i love comming home after school hop on the forums and just socialize. but i am only on for a couple hours a day (more if there is a thread that im really into). As far as anthro characters themselves i just love the look more than any other art i know and it is one of my biggest intrests at the moment (besides raving) which leads to my avatar a fur raver. the fur community is by far the best community out there (along with the rave community but thats just me personally)

With me, I love being a fur because my fursona is based from my spiritself (Yes, I'm 'Otherkin'. I believe in reincarnation and stuff. //.-.^|\\ ) and when I act as my fursona, it brings me more in touch with my spirit form.
And my admiration for the fandom lies within its community more than anything else. Where I live, there is no sense of community; If you dropped $5, the next person will steal it. Being a part of a like-minded community like the Furry fandom is a breath of fresh air for me.




That and I truly believe that I am the IRL reincarnation of Discord. Crazy shit, I know.

On a scale 1-10, it would be 9. Of which 1 point is because of art, 2 are because of fursuits and 6 points for all the friends I wouldn't have met without the furry fandom.

(The one point missing for a full 10 is for all the weirdos i wouldn't have wanted to meet.)

Meh, it's okay. If I didn't like it, or hate it, I certainly wouldn't be here right now, it's my source of endless entertainment these days.

Isn't brony part of furry?

It's pretty high. I spend more free time and money on this hobby than any other by a wide margin. Cons are a blast and fursuiting is magic. I love meeting people online and later in person. I don't have a real Twitter, but I have more than one furry account. Maybe a 9?

I would say about a 6, I participate online here and on weasyl, I post a bit and I dabble in the art. It's just another hobby for me aside from wargaming and doesn't take as much of my time as 40k or warmachine. I have a fursona, made a few friends and go to one con a year. I am working on a partial suit, but its for cons and Halloween. I enjoy the clean art, well drawn stuff and what not. Not into the literature or getting commissions really.

Like the community though, always nice to meet new people.

not really, its sort of like the ford vs holden thing in Australia. fans either side are petrol heads (i think you call them piston heads over there) but they tend not to get on with each other

If we're still sticking with the scale idea, I would say 9 for me.

Everything is perfect. I'm starting to talk on here now, I've been around FurNet IRC for about 3 years, and I've grown a new love for the fandom, but my only problem is not having the funds to attend a convention or just go meet other furries like me. ^.-.^''

On the 1-10 scale, probably about a 4 or 5. I like looking at art and reading stories, and I've written a few myself (though nothing I thought worthy of posting yet), but I currently haven't spent any money on the fandom and could walk away without any feeling of loss if I chose to do so. I could see this number rising in the future once I can afford to go to conventions and spend money on other things, but I don't think it would ever get above an 8 or so.

Wat. Furries steal too. >>

I treat the fandom like I treat my nicotine addiction. I enjoy it at times, and I'll keep coming back, but most of the time I hate it and frequent exposure is slowly killing me.

Going back to a scale-based reference frame:
I actively browse FA and post here and occasionally browse a few other sites.
I have a fursona and have commisioned people for furry related stuff 3 times, the last being a partial fursuit.
I've never been to any kind of con, or meet, although I intend to go to one in a year's time.
I don't intend to fursuit publicly except for at cons and perhaps on special occasions, such as Halloween.
I do not RP.
I do not/cannot draw furry artwork.

Based on that, I'd say about a 7...

However, that is simply based on physical manifestations of my interest within the fandom. Mentally, my thinking about the fandom has risen to an unreasonably high level over the last year or so... That is, if it continued rising at this rate for the next two years, it could reach a potentially unhealthy level of obsession.

Yeah... I think I had better find something else to latch onto.

(I'd say this was slightly more in depth than my original post, but what I said still applies.)

It's like a slow-take virus.
