Meow! I registered a little while ago, but I hadn't gotten to actually browse the forums yet or even post an introduction, as I was first waiting for the approval email, and then kinda got swept up in a couple of writing projects I'm working on... and since my computer fried itself, I currently have to use a slow old laptop I borrowed from my father, of which the wireless connection is... well, let's say, temperamentful.
But! Here I am, so let's get with the introductions!
My full name is Fritti Breezedancer, and I am a bi-colored blue and white Maine Coon tomcat from the Netherlands. I'm usually called just by my first name, which is often mis-pronounced by people, so I always tell them that it rhymes with what I am; a kitty =~.^=
I am a writer, and have been so for a good 24 years now. I started writing my first little stories in elementary school at the age of 7, as advised by one of my teachers because I had a way too lively imagination. I'm still thankful to the man! Over the years my story-telling talent increased, and in highschool also a talent for the English language became ever more apparent, so eventually I started writing some stories in English. It has come to the point that I now can even write better in English than I do in Dutch, haha!
From the moment I got access to the internet several years ago, I've been doing lots of browsing and surfing, and found out that there was a name for what I felt myself to be; furry. And I found what a huge fandom there was for that, too! I looked into it, and right away felt at home. I have been a very active member on a great furry forum I found back then in 2005, recently I even accepted the offer of joining the moderator staff on there, and I registered on FurAffinity in 2006 as well. Only to completely forget about that account... but a couple months ago I revived it and started posting some of my old works there.
I have two forms; the usual form of an anthropomorphic cat in which I am 6'8" tall (which is 5 inches taller than I am in real life) and in which I am quite the fluffy one, but I am mostly seen (and most comfortable) in my feral quadruped form, in which I am just a regular Maine Coon tomcat, and in which I am even fluffier! If I had a nickel for every time I've been mistaken for a girl... haha!
Ever since I first found out about the furry fandom in 2004 or 2005, and learning about the conventions there were, I have been wanting to visit one. The only problem was, all the conventions I found out about were in America, which is way too out of my reach. But then I came to learn about EuroFurence, which is very much within my reach, and I have been wanting to visit ever since! I only never had the chance to do so, mostly because of financial issues. But now, it is actually going to happen; for the very first time, I will be able to attend my very first furry convention; EuroFurence 16 in 2010! I owe every bith of thanks for that to my good friend Steve Alford, who offered to take me!
So there it is! There is a new cat in town, and I have this idea you will be seeing a lot of me! =^_^=
