RandomWolf has a few questions for you.

We’ve collected a lot of data with the furry survey.  A lot.

From 2009 to 2013, the Furry Poll accrued nearly 30,000 responses, allowing us to see not only the general ways in which the furry subculture is structured, but also the ways in which it changed in that span of five years.  We’ve pulled all five years of data into a single resource which will be made available soon, both as a raw dataset and as a new visualization, a data explorer that will allow you to plot many different variables against each other.

As I’ve said before, the Furry Poll is not, never has been, and certainly never will be a scientific study of the furry fandom. That is the purview of many other qualified folks inside and outside of the fandom, and one ought to look to the IARP for such information. If one wants to think of the Poll, it’s best to think of it as a market survey: a simple view of the market as viewed through the eyes of willing participants. The goal is not to make broad and sweeping statements of absolute truth about the furry subculture, but to view through our communities eyes the demographic and psychological makeup of the community. It’s a snapshot of how a good portion of the community views itself.

This year, we’re bringing you an all-new survey structure, and we will be collecting data in this format for the next five years to compile into the next longitudinal segment. If you’ve taken the Furry Survey before, remember that you can (and should!) take it once per year.

New this year, the survey is broken down into three sections: demographics and overview (featuring improved handling of characters, as well as gender expression and identity), a psychographic battery (similar to a personality test), and questions about sexuality and interests. As always, all questions and sections are optional, and you need only fill out what you’re comfortable with. Additionally, we will be welcoming responses from individuals who do not consider themselves members of the furry subculture in order to see the ways in which furries are different from non-furries.

So, I know a lot of furries are socially awkward. We're geeky, reclusive, and many of us suffer from mental disorders such as depression, ADHD, or autism.

I am one such person. I've struggled with being socially awkward for most of my life, but I've managed to find various little tricks and strategies to talk to new people and get them to like me.

So, I've been thinking of organizing these bits of advice into a guide people can follow and sharing it on places like this subreddit. But first I'd just like to know: is such a thing wanted?

Headlines, links and little stories to make your tail wag.  Tips are always welcome.  The Tufts Daily goes to a furry convention. Anthro New England gets a good college news piece.  My Newsdump gathers links as news happens, but it’s interesting there’s no other media articles this time! ____________________________ Comics/animation: “who likes remakes?” _____________________________ I hope you like remakes, because […]

Good morrow, dear auditory audience members. Prepare your spherical receptacles located in your ears for this issue of the Furballd online radio show.  You may be wondering why I’m typing like this.  Yup.  This week, the crew is joined by none other than super cray owner of Jaffa Books and author, Jay Stoat, to discuss our various creative writing projects and methods.  And surprise, not much of it is about writing porn! Well, Killick and Ringo might, but that’s a new record low by our standards.

If you’d like to send messages or questions to us or even some to pass along to Jay, just send them to furballdletters@gmail.com.

Bye for now, but not forever!
