Hi folks!
I’m Ty, genderqueer writer of SF/F stories and novels that tend to feature animal people or animalistic aliens. I… am actually really not used to being on forums at all, so er, breaking my lurker status is hard. Derp.
I have some random stories on my website (link in signature!) and a couple shorts on Kindle; I’m working on various novels-in-progress with the goal to release 2-3 of them this year. In addition to writing, I have a bevy of other creative hobbies, including painting, woodburning, making jewelry, website design, and creating languages and alphabets.
I have been a furry ally for years and years, but I suppose, given the fact that I have a hyena fursona and that I create and support furry stories and art, I can count as a furry myself, too. My partner’s done a lot of volunteer and staffing work at our local furcon, and basically all of my local friends are furballs. 
Anyways, ah, it’s nice to be here! If you need me, I’ll be in the lurky shadows of lurkerdom. ^^;
Feel free to drop a line or three in the Shoutbox every so often. It tends to help those not used to forums to adjust a little easier.
