Unfortunately, furry and furries are both abandoned. I did reach out, at one point, to one of the admins for furry about taking over the community and reviving it, but haven't heard anything back after our initial conversation. Maybe in the future! Or someone will put together a new one with a easy name, haha.

This post may be added to in the future!

hiyo!

Name: ally
Age: f...forty
Pronouns: she/her. they is okay, too
Location: ohio
My fursona is...: a fox/opossum! lovingly referred to as a 'pox'

I got into the fandom by way of...: the old archie sonic comics and satAM show! found the precursor to yerf (rat.org, which became the scfa, which became yerf lol) after joining sonic rp chatrooms on geocities and everyone was linking to the there (before the sonic ban lolol). this is also my way of explaining how long i've been in the fandom

I mostly post about: my life! personal stuff, ramblings, art, photos

My hobbies and interests are: kind of a little bit of everything?? art, reading, music, gardening, zines, etc., etc. very big into destiny the game rn, as well (ask me about my guardians lkghfdlkghdklgd)

My furry-centric interests are: art! i also help with ohio furry community stuff - adminning some chats, helping mod others, making fancy graphics and brochures and stuff to make us look cool, managing the twitter, managing our calendar of events, etc. also fursonapins! i've been a collector since their second year, i think??? and i make a lot of checklist graphics for the pins and manage the unofficial comprehensive trello, as well. if you're in any fp spaces, you've probably seen me around

I'm in the fandom to...: putz around lol - i'm really just kind of 'here' - i do my own thing on my own time/terms, but i spend a lot of time helping with community stuff as well. i like drawing and roleplaying and talking about my little animal people characters, and watching others do the same!

I'm looking to meet people who: are generally chill - regardless of how 'into' the fandom/community they are. i've got big master shake 'i am thirty or forty years old and do not need this' energy. i like reading about peoples' day to day stuff, what's going on in their lives, what cool things they're doing

My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic - i'm trying to post more but i do still love shooting posts off into the void of twitter. so usually i'll do a long post once or twice a month and maybe art or short things here and there sometimes

When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity? quality - i'd rather have the opportunity to engage in conversation

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: bigotry, fashy shit, that kinda stuff (tho it's doubtful you'll make it on my friends list in the first place if you exhibit any of that)

Before adding me, you should know:
- i'm bad at responding to comments! or sometimes commenting in the first place! diagnosed adhd + whatever else is going on at any given time. i read my friends pages, but don't often get around to commenting on a lot of stuff
- i make loong personal posts sometimes with text + images + art + whatever. i don't cut them. use this information as you need to

Anything else you want to add!
i'm on a lot of different platforms - https://obliviousally.carrd.co/
