This is a repository for the creative works, informational texts, and tribal knowledge of the Postfurry community. You, the entity reading this, are eligible to put anything you consider postfurry into this wiki, even if nobody else has done it before, including but not limited to personal worlds, philosophy, ethos, characters, worldbuilding projects, and whatever genre of thought you're hoping to find permission to add to this list.

What does this mean? It means that this is a place for postfurries of any stripe to not only describe what they see other people's interpretations of postfurry is, but what their own interpretation of postfurry is. (This interpretation is by definition correct. Postfurry is anything you would like it to be. Seriously.) Postfurry is not an elite. Postfurry is an orchestra. Just because you're not playing the same notes as others, it doesn't mean you're not in harmony. Come make music.

Editing is limited to authorized users. If you want to contribute, just create an account and then you can get started!
