What will it make people think of me?

[jamesthedog]

I've just posted my second story to FurAffinity today and I sometimes worry if me making this sort of stuff will make people have a bad opinion of me. Maybe I feel this way because to an extent I know in real life I've spent my whole life being either laughed at, mocked, judged and thought of as wierd (even by my own family). Plus the attitudes of my family to anything sexual/porn/fetish related (which is one of the few things which actually scares me- not least because I've been on the receiving end of it myself before) makes me really conscious of all this. Indeed, my family finding out about me being a furry, my fetish, and the whole yiff side of the fandom worries me (and would even more so if I was actually into and making yiff stuff myself, thank god I'm not and I don't).

But even with that aside, I do sometimes worry what people might think of me for making and posting the sort of stuff I have been doing, and I do sort of worry it might freak some people out. I won't deny I enjoy looking at, reading and writing what I have been doing, but I'd like to hope people don't judge me on it.

Well, I noticed that some people must like your stories! (I can only dream about any of my work getting 400+ views...) I've actually felt uncomfortable about uploading fat fur artwork before, but people seemed to accept it. Then again, it's not as extreme as a lot of similar work I've seen. When it comes to furries, I imagine that any bad opinions are mostly generalised, rather than directed at particular people.

One thing I have found is furries are reasonably non-judgemental. No-one I've told has actually been fazed by it (to be honest I'm suprised just how unfazed people were)- I know for a fact that wouldn't be the case elsewhere, either on the internet or in real life.
