Dear Papa Bear,

You once wrote that you liked getting questions about you, so here's one I've been wondering about for a while.

What motivated you to start this column and this website?

Peace and bright blessings,

Stilghar

Hi, Stilghar,

Oh, gosh, that sounds egotistical of me, doesn't it? I think I meant that I liked getting different kinds of questions, hee hee. 

So, what motivates me? As I got more and more involved in the fandom, I found that many furries are quite troubled for one reason or another, and furs I met online kept asking me for advice because I'm a greymuzzle, I suppose, and have been around the block a few times. 

This happened so often that I thought an advice column would be worthwhile. So, I contacted the FurryNewsNetwork and asked if they would be interested in a furry advice column. The editor was very kind and accepted the suggestion. For a couple months, my column started there, and, actually, you can still contact me through the FNN at http://www.furrynewsnetwork.com/interact/papabear/.

I started getting so many letters that the weekly (or biweekly, I forget which) column couldn't keep up. I was having a backlog! Therefore, I started my own Website and told FNN they could reprint any articles they liked on their site.

Of course, I do this for the huge amount of money it makes me, which allows me to live a life of luxury here in southern California. NOT! My advice, as you all know, is free, and I even encourage people to reprint my articles or share them, if they like. I haven't made a dime and, in fact, have spent hundreds of dollars in advertising and web hosting fees. So, it is not for the money that I do this.

Why DO I do it? Because I believe that I am a member of the furry community, and I believe that this is my extended family and I should do my part to help others as some of my furiends have helped me. I strongly feel that the world is a better place when people help each other rather than pursue only their own selfish goals. This is also the philosophy behind the upcoming American Furry Association, which I hope will be up and running by next year.

Hope that answers your question, Stilghar!

Look wise, does your fursona look like you, or how you wish you looked. Or is it what you preserve beauty to be? I'm asking because I've met furries that when I asked, said pretty much all three. Myself, my fursona looks like me body wise, but he has a different facial hair style I can't pull off.

So how bout you, why does your fursona look the way it does?

Hi there,

I love girls (probably also boys) in tails, ears maybe a litte fur on arms and legs but i still want them to be humanoid. i dont really like that full suites or the anthropomorphic graphics, thats just a little to much.

What is this? I would love to find some people/websites/resources/images about this, but mostly i find 99% real furry material with maybe 1% of what i like.

Thanks for you help.

Author: crossaffliction Folks, it’s a slow month, so I put together a list of animated movies to be nominated for an Academy Award by cross referencing Jerry Beck’s animated feature list and the Oscar’s site. First off, not all of these movies feature anthropomorphism or animals, much less anthropomorphic animals, but a vast majority do. [...]
