I like this meme so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon! I did the old "getting to know me" meme when it was fresh, but things change, so it's always nice to get a refresher.

A brief introduction, then, to the bat.

You can call me Stoker. I've been in and around this scene since around 2001, if not longer. I was actually a serious latecomer both to furries in particular and the internet in general, not getting my first PC until my sophomore year of high school. I had kind of been drawn into the fuzzy club before I ever even knew it existed thanks to the Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM and Archie Sonic comic books. I officially entered the fold when I found Yerf and I have never been the same since.

My fursona has always been a bat, inspired both by a lifelong love of the critters and by the adorable art of dingbat. The name "Stoker Bramwell" comes from the author of Dracula, another one of my lifelong obsessions. Stoker's look has steadily become more vampiric over the years to reflect that.

Philosophically I'm somewhat left of center, sex-positive, feminist and social justice friendly (though I'm not overly fond of the term "SJW" due to some of the excesses associated with it) and a former fundamentalist Christian who has no idea what his spiritual affiliation is anymore. As for gender and sexuality, I'm more or less a cismale who is perfectly comfortable with male pronouns (even if the behavior of other cismales bewilders and alarms me at times). I mostly stick around being a Kinsey 2 as far as sexual orientation goes but some days I can fluctuate anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5. I've lived in several different states, driven through about 75% of the US but rarely left it, and I've been to more furry cons in more locales than any sane individual should. I consider myself somewhere on the non-monogamy spectrum (my crushes are legion) but I'd be hard-pressed to say exactly where. I'm a bit on the kinky side, almost exclusively a Dom, and if I were to go into explaining my fetishes we'd be here all night. I've been married once, am currently single, and am NOT really looking at the moment.

As for contributing to the fandom, I don't fursuit, don't make art, and don't write stories...yet. I have been mostly a creative consumer for the last several years, but I'm trying very hard to work past blocks to become a creative producer, like I was when I was a kid. Please watch this space for more info.

And...that about covers it! Any questions anyone has that I might have missed?
