   I know the feeling.   
      
   The beginnings of the fandom originated from a particular Sci Fi   
   convention, a group of science fiction writers and artists got together   
   and decided to organize into a distinct group.   
      
   Before then, furry was always kinda around, but was a part of the Sci   
   Fi fandom.
