2004 Recommended Anthropomorphics List - final update, January 2005
This is the final update of the fourth annual Recommended Anthropomorphics
List. It has two purposes. Firstly, it is for fans who want to know what
Furry movies, TV series, novels, etc. published during 2004 are worth
looking for. The 2004 Recommended List is now closed. If you find any 2005
Furry movies or comic books or comic strips, etc. that are worth
recommending, please send your recommendations through the end of 2005 to:
Fred Patten
11863 West Jefferson Boulevard
Culver City, California 90230-6322
fredpatten@earthlink.net
Secondly, this List is to be used as a guide for nominations to the 2004
Ursa Major Award, which will be presented at Anthrocon 2005 in Philadelphia
on 7-10 July 2005 for the Best of the calendar year 2004 in the first ten
categories. The List was actually started in 2001 as an aid to those fans
who said, "The Award sounds like a good idea but I don't have the slightest
idea what's eligible to be nominated." Read the List and find out what is
eligible for the Best of 2004.
Nominations for the 4th Annual Ursa Major Award opened on 13 January (the
first day of Further Confusion 2005). They will close on 15 April. The
five titles in each category getting the most nominations will become the
five finalists on the Final Ballot, which will be voted upon between 15 May
and 10 June 2005. Anyone may send in from one to five nominations in each
of the first ten categories. (The Recommended Anthropomorphic Miscellany
category is not included in the Ursa Major Award, due to the
inappropriateness of comparing such diverse items as art folios, models and
plushies for a "best" vote.) It is not necessary to nominate in all
categories. Just nominate for those that interest you.
To nominate, register online at
ursamajorawards.org to submit your
nominations, or by regular mail to:
Fred Patten
11863 West Jefferson Boulevard
Culver City, California 90230-6322
fredpatten@earthlink.net
Final ballot forms will be sent only to those fans who request one, to guard
against multiple voting. Fans who have already nominated or voted last year
do not need to send in another request, though they should send changes of
address if they have moved. Those who have registered online also qualify
to vote online from 15 May. Others should send their request to the above
addresses.
While the Ursa Major Award receives sponsorship and much appreciated
cooperation from various conventions, we are not directly affiliated with
any convention. This Award is intended to be representative of the popular
views of those in the fandom; nominated by fans, and voted for by fans. The
Anthropomorphic Literature and Arts Association is responsible only for the
organization and promotion of the Award, and has no influence over the
outcome. That is purely up to you! So don¹t forget to nominate in your
favorite categories, or else the works that you feel deserve to win may not!
We have adopted a suggestion to change the title of the Recommended Dramatic
Series category to Recommended Dramatic Short Work or Series. This allows
the inclusion of individual dramatic works besides theatrical features.
This Recommended List is posted at
https://ursamajorawards.org/ This
website includes links to as many as possible of the recommended items that
have their own entries on the Internet; so if you want to know more about
any of them, you can go right to its site. It also includes the previous
Lists, for the benefit of those looking for recommendations of good Furry
art & literature since the 21st century started.

Please remember that a title's appearance on the Recommended
Anthropomorphics List is not an automatic nomination of that title for the
Ursa Major Award. A single recommendation is enough to place a title on the
Recommended List which may end up with twenty or more recommendations in a
category, while only the top five nominees in each category will become the
finalists on the voting ballot. If you wish to ensure that your favorite
choices are nominated for the Award, please send in your nominations. The
Award will be presented in ten categories at Anthrocon 2005 in July. See
the Ursa Major website <
https://ursamajorawards.org/> for full
instructions, and to request a ballot if you wish to vote.
