This article is from the Alt.Fan.Furry FAQ, by Jordan Greywolf and Lynx lynx@lynx.purrsia.com with numerous contributions by others.
Alt.fan.furry is a newsgroup devoted to the discussion of all things "furry"
and/or of distinct interest to "furry fans". While this leads to a rather
vague definition of what is truly "on-topic", the term "furry" itself is
inherently vague. (See "What is a 'furry'?") In general, the discussion of
artwork or fiction (including movies, TV series, game systems, novels,
illustrations, etc.) involving "furry" subjects, theorizing about "furry"
creatures, and even of the fandom itself or the definition of "furry" is
commonly found on the newsgroup.
