Soda used to code for various furry MUDs in the late nineties including FurryMUSH.[citation needed] He attributes his initial interest in the fandom to the art of artists Fel, Greenmonkey, and Fennec,[3] as well as furry-themed MUDs.

He expressed interest in creating an online furry art circle, and even try to do so briefly with fellow furry artists Narffet, INoby, Keglunek, and coder BearPatrol under the domain name EatGlitter.com in 2009.[citation needed] However, a lack of free time kept him from maintaining the webspace, and the project was postponed indefinitely.[citation needed] Soda has since said that he:

   
Soda
 Would still very much like to build a web space in the spirit of Verrocchio's workshop or Cormon's studio where a few like-minded furry artists could gather, collaborate, and address their fans in a familiar and entertaining way for free or otherwise. The experience would be very much fan-driven."[citation needed]
