New to the furry fandom and have questions!
Hello to all! About a week ago I finally decided that I was a furry after about a year of closeting myself, I was hoping I could introduce myself to the community and I have a few questions if anyone doesn't mind answering!
On the site Fur Affinity I've noticed that ref sheets are common, do I need to get someone to make a ref sheet before I can ask for a normal commission? (Feel free to tease if I'm just overthinking this one. :P)
Is it difficult to fit in with the community if you are new?
I am currently still living with parents, and recently ran into an awkward situation where my mother asked me what a furry was when I asked if I could go to an upcoming convention near me in April, I kinda froze up and the only thing I could think of was "It's basically for people who like stuff like Lion King and Loony Toons." She apparently didn't like the idea of me going due to her beliefs that most people who go to conventions are costume wearing sex hungry weirdos but I managed to convince her that I can go. I love her to death and I don't want her to think of me any different, is there any better way I could explain to both of my parents and avoid them thinking of me differently?
Thanks ahead of time for any answers, looking forward to meeting new friends!

Dog Biscuits and Circuses
Unnaturals: The Battle Begins is the first book in a new science fiction series by Devon Hughes. This Amazon review from School Library Journal sums it up pretty well: “Lion’s Head is the setting of this dystopian novel in which the rich live sequestered behind thick glass up in the sky away from the poisonous environ- ment down below. The poor live in squalor in the Drain and make do with the synthetic food that is available. Mayor Eva Eris keeps the denizens entertained with her Mega Monsters Mash Up, a reality show where mutant animals face off against each other in the arena. The reining champ is the Invincible, a hybrid tiger-scorpion who is true to his name. Castor, a German shepherd stray, becomes an unwilling member of Team Scratch after he is kidnapped by humans and redesigned with eagle wings and a new name, The Underdog. Castor had been content living with his dog pack and dreaming of the Greenplains, a natural wonderland. He does not want to become the killing monster his human handlers expect. With the help of a Chihuahua-spider mentor named Pookie, Castor looks to his inner strength to survive his ordeal and to win out against the machine that put him in this predicament.” It’s available in paperback from Harper Collins.

I didn't get to Chicago this year, but I did finally put together some video from my last trip there! Various clips from the MFF 2014 dances.

Just discovered r/furry and want to be a part of the community
Hello everyone! I just want to say that I was quite surprised to find there is a furry community on Reddit (about a few weeks new to the site) and rather impressed by how large this community is. I was introduced to the fandom about 4 months back and it has become a quickly picked-up hobby.
In short, I'm glad to have stumbled upon this community and would like to make some friends online and perhaps locally.

Furry holiday gifts?
Does anyone have any good suggestions for a holiday gift for a fellow furry? I've been looking around PawStar and other places, but I wanted to hear the fandoms suggestions :)

My First Fursona by churple
I'm very new to the community and just had my first ref sheet completed last night by my talented friend churple!
I'm not sure how to really put myself out there, but I figured this would be a good place to start!
