Where are you?! I know you exist. I have met a couple locally, and see them floating around on Youtube and furry websites. There was even a mermeet at the biggest furry convenetion, Anthrocon, this year. Sound off!

what is a furry?
a furry is a person who dresses up in an animal suit.

I was a furry for about... 9-ish years, almost 10. It was a hellish nightmare the entire time and I don't think I'll ever go back to it.
A furry is someone who is a fan of anthropomorphized (or cartoon) animals. Like in Disney cartoons. It doesn't necessarily involve dressing up in a costume, though that is the most well-known part of the subculture. Art, writing, and roleplay are also very important to the community.
That said, long-time furry here! My con of choice is Rainfurrest
Suppose I should throw my hat into the ring, been a furry for a little over 14 years now. As Exdraghunt said, you don't need a fursuit to be a furry, it is just the most focussed on aspect. That said I'll hopefully be picking up my third one at the London meet this weekend. My preferred con is Anthrocon, not been for a couple of years because of the cost of flights, but I'm saving hard to go next year and now I'm hoping another mermeet happens there.

Yeah I didn't figure there was many of us. Furry fandom really takes precedence over anything in my life (hell, it IS my life) so you can still kinda consider me a 'part time' mermaid. And even at that I'm not a mermaid, I'm a hippocampus lol.
Here's the video I referenced in the first post:

I'd like to know who those guys are just for the hell of it. Seems like not a lot of furmers are aware of Mernetwork.
You guys have such lovely fursuits! My latest (my fursona) is this guy: https://www.weasyl.com/submission/10...the-rottweiler
Ahem, Cough cough.. raises fin.....
Furry here! Been one for about 10 years now.
I'm part of the fandom, though in recent years have been stepping away from it by a lot.
My /fursona/ is a winged brindle pitbull.

I'm a furry. I used to be more active before a nasty breakup with my ex (he was heavily involved and a pretty public and popular streamer), but I've found solace in the aquatic side of the fandom, primarily among seals and selkies. Glad to see a little crossover somewhere in the mermaid community. I talk about mermaids occasionally with a few of my seal/selkie friends on telegram.
Thrilled to meet a hippocampus. I really love seahorses, and one of my magical girl characters has a hippocampus as a familiar. His name is Caspian.Originally Posted by Trade Winds
