This journal has been effectively repurposed to gather news and information about furry fandom. More information can be found on the community I maintain, called furries_awesome.

Furry fandom is defined as the appreciation, promotion, and production of stories and art about anthropomorphic animals, as well as the exploration, interpretation and examination of humanity and human values through anthropomorphic expression. This includes works such as animated cartoons, comic books and strips, text stories and articles, artwork, costumes, and stuffed animals.

Anthropomorphics are human qualities or characteristics ascribed to animals or objects. Specific to furry fandom, anthropomorphics are animal characters with human qualities or characteristics. Some examples of anthropomorphic characters are:

• Cartoon animals (so-called "funny animals") featured in animation such as Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo, or Tom & Jerry. Some may also appear as mascots or advertising characters, like McGruff the Crime Dog or the Exxon Tiger.
• Talking animals featured in fairy tales and fantasy stories, such as Watership Down, Winnie the Pooh, or Aesop's Fables.
