Title: Hello everyone!
Post by: Alexei on December 02, 2010, 11:56:07 PM: Hey, everyone

My name is Alexei and I'm 15 years old, I've been part of the fandom for about a month now.
I like Baseball, Video games, Piano, Drawing, and pretty much the internet in general
I'm Bisexual so i hope no one has a problem with that.
I still have a lot of questions about the fandom so if anyone would be willing to answer some I'd greatly appreciate it

Thanks! :)

Welcome to the forums of fur, I'm Drake the Fox, and I would be more than happy to answer any questions you have about the fandom!

Post by: Alexei on December 03, 2010, 12:53:02 AM: Well thank you for the welcome, and as far as I can tell furries seem to be the most friendly, open-minded, and welcoming communities in the world.

I do have a couple questions:
1. What is otherkin?
2. What's a good website that can help me work on my drawing skills? ^_^'
3. Do I have to roleplay? 'Cause I'm really not that into it....

Thanks a lot!

Post by: ✡ on December 03, 2010, 12:55:50 AM: that we are :)

1. otherkin: a group of people who identify themselves as non-human in everything but outward form. Meaning that they believe they share a special connection to a type of animal in spirit. Not all furries are otherkin and not all otherkin are furries.
2. if you are not 18, you need parent permission to attend anthrocon.
3. http://www.drawfurry.com/ is a great site for furry art tutorials
4. you don't "have" to do anything, if roleplaying isn't your cup of tea then fine, don't roleplay, doesn't mean you're still not a furr :D

@Sol Lol well my fursona is a cheetah/ fox. Body of a fox, Markings and tail of a cheetah.
But since I can't draw worth crap, i've comissoned someone to make me an avatar so sadly, my soup nazi profile pic will have to go.
@BuddyWolf Thank you for the welcome! I was the one who added you on Youtube btw.
I spend a lot of time on youtube so if you see any good videos you should send them my way. :)

Thanks everyone!
