Dan Skunk (born May 22, 1974)[1] is a furry who lives in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.[1] Dan Skunk's hobbies include writing poetry.
Dan was a furry from a very young age. Since the age of three, he would daydream about being a skunk, and often felt different or wanted to be something else.[2] He discovered furry fandom on Tuesday, August 19, 2003, at 10:21 PM, when he watched Animal Imitators on TLC and discovered there were others with similar feelings to himself.
Fandom involvement
Dan Skunk is active within the Toronto Furry group [citation needed].
The original Toronto-furry website, which ran was 1998 to late 2005, was reopened by Dan on FurNation in May, 2006 and grew from 32 members to 400 before it was renamed to Ontario Furries in 2008. As of July 2010, it had over 1000 members, making it the most popular Canadian furry site.
Dan Skunk created the first chat room for Toronto furs, #torfur in 2005 as well, then #toronto-furry in 2006, and #OntarioFurries in 2008, all on FurNet.
Dan Skunk was a volunteer at Anthrocon and Midwest Furfest in 2007, becoming staff from 2008 to present.
Dan Skunk was co-founder and organizer of the Toronto Furry Spaghetti Factory Dinner from 2007 to 2009, Co-Founder of the Islington Furmeet in 2008.
Dan Skunk claims to have founded Furnal Equinox because he claims to have been doing research for a possible convention in Toronto, Ontario in the summer of 2008, helping find the venue, gathering the needed financial resources and then in late 2008 creating a message board on Ontario Furries for members of the Ontario furry community to discuss the convention and making a post inviting people to help organize and staff it and that this project eventually became known as Furnal Equinox.
He cites his post on the Toronto Furry mailing list on December 3, 2008 as evidence.
This claim is contested by members of Furnal Equinox's organizing committee. This situation is ongoing and the disagreement has spilled over to Ontario Furries several times.
