How did you find the furry fandom?

Inspired by the "how did you find Ozy and millie" topic, how did you find furry comics, or furry fandom (if you're involved/interested in it)?

I didn't find them, they found me.

thank you for making a "spinoff" of my topic, and i would have to think... hmm... well ive always loved foxes... my mom said there was a fox outside my bedroom window the day i was brought home and whenever i saw a fox i would always laugh and be cheered up... then they got me... THE FOX AND THE HOUND! thats it! thats how i sarted my journey to furry fandom! lets see... then came all 3 balto movies... then i had a school project where i had to create a slide show about me... i looked up "foxes" and found this pic

Niko, PLEASE hide that in a [ url=http://www.website.com ] link.

I found the real deal here, two years ago.

I don't know how to answer the question. I've seen anthro entertainment since I can remember. "Sesame Street" has animal Muppets in it; would it be part of the "furry fandom"?

If you're talking about the community that specifically craves anthropomorphs in entertainment, I guess it started with my discovery of "Kevin & Kell" on the washingtonpost.com comic links. K&K has easy links to various comics, many of them anthro, including O&M.

Posting in this thread is a trap isn't it?

Don't worry, I'm onto you all I tells ye!

What's the difference between anthro and furry and yiffy and anamilistic?

No one ever tells me these things.

I thought it was just liking animal stuff, but then there were all these words and people talking about it different and I got confused.

*is confused*

I'm kinda embarrased to say how I found the fandom.

On that point, it may be wise to get away from that end of the spectrum.

Meh. Someone told me about O&M. I came, I saw, I joined.

I'm going to have to agree with the "It found me" answer.

Starfox and Rocko's Modern Life had a lot to do with it, though.

I had no idea that it even existed until Ozy and Millie so I guess it started here-ish. After that I followed some site links.

What's the difference between anthro and furry and yiffy and anamilistic?

anthro is an animal with human-like features, usually including standing on two legs. furry is anything with fur, though it can also include less-hairy animals. yiffing is the sound that foxes make when mating...and is used to describe furry art and other media involving similar acts. Anamilistic (or, animalistic) is not a word as far as I know o.o
