I pretty much discovered the fandom by accident, I guess, by way of the infamous furry article in Amazing Heroes. From that I found out about ROWRBRAZZLE, the funny-animal APA, and I applied for membership. But I had already been doing my own thing before that and had been trying my hand at creating funny-animal cartoons and strips (as well as more traditional SF and Comic Book stuff; I'd always been a comic and cartoon fan in general) for years. I'd just published my own comic (CHAMPION OF KATARA) right before hearing about the fandom. Reading the AH article, I was surprised to find that there were other folks out there writing and drawing cool-looking stuff: Cathy Hill, the Carspeckens, Mark Wallace, Ken Sample, Roz Gibson, Tracy Horton Kazaleh... I felt like I'd suddenly found home.
