Furry Fandom


Do you enjoy reading those newspaper comics about talking animals? Or find yourself staring at dog bobble heads? If any of these are true, or if you just have a liking for animals, you may be a “furry”. A furry is someone who likes anthropomorphic animals (animals with human traits). There is a huge world of furries on the internet, some good, and unfortunately, some bad. I will talk to you about some of the better stuff.

There are so many things involved in furry fandom. One such thing is artwork, out on the internet there are people who devote all of their skill to drawing Anthropomorphic animals, from web comics to full blown masterpieces. Many art sites feature an “Anthro” section, while some are dedicated to only furry art. There is also a lot of literature made in this genre. For example, Roar is a collection of short anthropomorphic stories. Once you see how much is out there, you realize that furry fandom is huge.

I really enjoy surfing around good furry sites on the internet. There is one web comic called Faux Pas (pronounced Fox Paws) which I absolutely love. There are also some great works of art on Deviant Art that I like to browse. I also enjoy watching fandubs on youtube, these are videos from animated movies, or stuff like that, with different voices added on top. All in all furry fandom is a very big part in my life.
