Sorry for the crossposting, but this is the only way I could think of to get
to enough people. One of the people on Fur Affinity, WolfBlade, has brought
up something kind of scary... He claims that he saw me at FC2005... which
isn't possible. I wasn't there.

The conversation, in posts, so far goes:

---

WolfBlade: Thanks for the watch! Dunno if you remember me, but we met at the
con this year. I was kinda hangin around Bas n Wastrel. Anyways, *showers
you with fanboyishness a bit* *^_^* Your art was some of the first furry
stuff I stumbled across, and it helped warp my brain forever, Thanks! :D

The Werewolf: Errr, you sent a shout to me that you met me at a con this
year [repeated the previous post]. I'm not sure how this system works yet -
that may have been aimed at someone else - but you couldn't have met me at a
con this year - I've not been to one... You sure you don't have me confused
with someone else?

WolfBlade: You weren't at Further Confusion this year? I guess maybe I
misunderstood somewhere, but I'm fairly certain I mentioned some specific
pics and photomorphs of yours, and whoever it was I was talking to was
taking credit for them. The thing is, several other people were referring to
him as The Werewolf, specifically the person who made the art and morphs
you're posting. They seemed to all have known him for awhile too. Handsome
older guy, nice, friendly, bit on the bulky side. Hope we're not dealing
with some sort of false identity scam or something here...

The Werewolf: Ok... that's really creepy. Nope I wasn't at FC, I am an
older, 'bulky' fur. And I'm the only 'The Werewolf' out there as far as I
know... But there are a fair number of people who know me... Here's what I
look like in RL (avert yer eyes) [link] and I would almost certainly be
wearing that vest. I was down in the bay area the day before FC started at a
meeting and had lunch with a few furry friends, but I never made it to the
con.

---

Now, there were exactly seven people at the lunch: Kaysho, Kayotae, Torrle,
FenrirWolf, Ryan and Zack and of course, myself. I didn't go to FC2005.
Kaysho, Kayotae, Torrle all know me from previous meetings and Fenrir says
it's not likely Zack or Ryan... soo...

Other than the 'handsome' and 'friendly' part, it does sound sort of like
me - but I know I wasn't there. I didn't meet anyone else - I wasn't in the
Bay area long enough to. I can't honestly imagine anyone wanting to pretend
to me, my stuff isn't exactly in high demand - so I'm bewildered. What could
they get out of it? After all, I have the originals for all of my drawings -
it's not like they could sell them or anything.

Very strange.

It's still possible it was someone at the lunch being confused - but it
doesn't really seem likely.

Anyway, if any of you who were at FC2005 ran into someone calling themselves
The Werewolf and taking credit for my drawings - it wasn't me. I can assure
you - The Werewolf was NOT at FC2K5.

If anyone has any idea what happened please let me know this is kind of
creepy. I'd really like to get this cleared up.

Thanks!
The Werewolf! (the real one)
