I think it's a common furry experience to surf the web for like peoples and like stories; to reach across cyberspace for comfort and connection. This is a powerful drive reflected in much of our community's media and fiction. And for me, it is spiritual. What does that mean? Let's talk about it. In this panel, I'll use fantasy and cyberpunk storytelling along with my visual novel "String Zero" as lenses to discuss how spirituality as "a search for meaning and connection" buoys and enriches furry storytelling.
