aethwolfWell, it was 3 years ago today that I de-lurked on alt.lifestyle.furry. That might as well mark my entrance into the fandom (I had been kicking around on the fringe for a couple of months before).

Furvey 3.5
==========
The 'Furvey' is a furry lifestyle related questionnaire. You can use it
as a template for introducing yourself to alt.lifestyle.furry. You may
also find that completing a Furvey helps you to explore your own furry
thoughts and feelings.
The Furvey is voluntary. Ignore any questions or sections which do not
apply to you, or which you do not wish to answer.
When posting a Furvey to alt.lifestyle.furry, it is a good idea to
include your name in the subject header, e.g. "JackFox's Furvey".

Furriness
=========
['phenotype' - the species of animal(s) that influence your feelings, emotions and thoughts]
20. What are your phenotype(s)?
Wolf

Being outdoors. Watching wolves on TV...but watching them IRL is much better.

A good deal is instinct.

Nope.

If it's a by-product of hunting/raising for food, I don't see why not.

Sorta faded by now. Heh, don't need fantasies all that much anymore.
53. Has your gender preference changed since discovering the furry community?
Depends on what is meant. I was in denial about it for years and finally accepted it about a year and a half after finding furry, but the two are disjoint in my mind.
