FURCADIANS PLEASE READ! NEED PORT TIMELINE HELP!

If you don't have a deviantArt account, click the following:
Furcadia Forums -- FAZ -- TGT Forums

I am working on a loose timescale for ports, port artists, and some brief history. If you are a port artist, and even if you're not, please PLEASE fill out the following form with as much information as you can provide. I'm trying to make this as thorough as possible, so the more info you spew my way, the better!!

Your Furc Name:
Who was the first port artist you remember REALLY liking their work?
What year did you first discover them?
What area of Furcadia did you frequent at that time?
Did the artist frequent the same area?
How did you discover them? (Furc, FA, dA, etc.)
Did they inspire you to start creating ports?
Who are some artists that currently inspire you?
Are there any port trends through the years you would like to note?

Please leave this form as a comment if you have dA. If not, then please see the links above!

If anyone reading this would please pass this journal along to any and EVERYONE they know on Furc, that would be amazing. Like I said, I'm trying to be very thorough so the more feedback I get, the better off I am. Even if you see someone mentioning the artist(s) you were thinking of using, please list them anyway!!

Thank you so much in advance, and I will credit EVERYONE who responds.

Nonremaps are crazy popular right now, as they should be! But I do have to mention the "booty port" phase. I was never into it, but it definitely gave a new perspective on the art.
