TWENTY YEARS!

[nicodemusrat]

I've been in the furry fandom for over 20 years now. Wow. Let's indulge in a quick look back for the sake of nostalgia and regretfully cementing my graymuzzle status.

Like many, I feel that I was "furry" before I found the organized community. I grew up on cartoons (TMNT! Like, the first time around, dude.) and found animal characters fascinating

Happy 20'th youngster! It seems like only yesterday.
Thanks again for the kind regards you gave me in that fine book of yours.
We've all come a long way and a lot of us are still having fun!

(now that my boys are off at college, I'm finding a bit more time for costuming again)

Have kit ping paint your tail sometime. Been decades since she's done that :)

[nicodemusrat]

Hey, it's one of those fine wolves now! :)

No, the tail's okay as is. Really. XD

[nicodemusrat]

Cool. Got quite a history yourself. I'd definitely like to get a chance to hang out, should we cross paths at some con or other. :)

Great story and thanks for keeping LJ alive!

That was a fun little outing, definitely. ^_^ Widge remains one of my favorite suits - there's just such a cute look to him, and the eyes remain possibly unique.

I remember the birth of the Fursuit Mailing List. =:D I was at a Timberwolves game (of course) with Malin, and Frang was talking about a program he'd written, or intended to, to calculate weightings required along a long tail design to yield a good swishiness. I thought it'd be a great idea to have some kind of mailing list to share such insights, and it turned out Robert was in a position to get that set up. ^_^
