    I need to find the graphic I saw on the internet a bunch of years ago - it was a hierarchy of sci-fi/fantasy fan groups - who's cooler than whom.

    Found it - http://fanlore.org/wiki/The_Geek_Hierarchy

    That's pretty cool. I just kind of glanced at it, but what I saw looked pretty spot on. Thanks for finding that.

    I think it is about dressing up, just like any of the other fancons, except people dress up as animals, or animal characters, instead of comic book characters (which could also be furry animals).

    Actually, the costuming is a very SMALL part of the fandom as the vast majority of furs can not afford the fursuits. Thos things can run anywhere from $300 (for just a head) to several THOUSAND dollars for a full suit.
