Are there any books pertaining to the furry fandom?

[Day Coydog]

I have been looking for around three hours and have found one book that mentions the fandom, but it only has one chapter dedicated to it.

The reason why I need to find books about the fandom is because for Senior Literature we have to write a report and immediately I knew I wanted to do it on us... The problem is that I need to have at least two book sources.

If anybody knows of any books (not comics or fanfic) it would be amazing if you could tell me of any, thanks much!

You may want to look into literature about anthropomorphism instead for your book sources, since a lot of what they talk about can be applied to the furry fandom and is, of course, its origin. I don't personally know of any full fledged books and a quick search didn't give me any results.

Heres an illustrated chronology of furry fandom, 1966-1996 that might help you along
And a study done on the fandom which links some books and is also a good resource.

Thank you very much, Michele.

If anybody has more books, that would be great, the more, the merrier.

 

[MicheleFancy]

You're welcome!

Just out of curiosity, are you looking for more academic resources or just general books on the fandom?

The Redwall Series written by Brian Jacques. Amazing books and he even gets into the accent of each species. Molespeak is fun.

The Sight and it's sequel Fell are both splendid books. Both written by David Clement-Davies. They are feral more so than anthro, but just as good.

He wants books about the fandom. A fantasy series won't help him.

Oh I apologize. I misread that. Oh well, still good reads

Are you sure that's a good idea?

Oi~ I like this one. Kimba the White Lion has always been on my to-read list (must be pretty good if Disney ripped it off), but some of the other ones look like good reads too.

And a study done on the fandom which links some books and is also a good resource.

This one looks like bullshit on crap. I stopped reading at "parallels with gender identity disorder."

I too almost put Redwall. XP Wicked makes better use of them though.

Carry on with your regularly scheduled fandom thread.

I think they were comparing the wide variety of people in the fandom, but I didn't actually read it. I just saw they had a huge resource section at the bottom that he might use with books and stuff.

I'm really interested in this too. Thanks for what's been posted so far Michele

books about the Fandom Ill have to check that out

 

[Day Coydog]

Are you sure that's a good idea?

Yes. it is a topic that I find interesting and want to learn more about...

Sadly, the sources shown already will not count as books, they have to be either physical books or like ebooks, not internet or news articles... I doubt that anybooks have been made (and have even joked that I would write and publish two books just to use them in the essay).

I think I might just have to do it on music (house, electronic, and/or dubstep).

This isn't exactly a book, but it's a published article: https://sites.google.com/site/anthropomorphicresearch/home/publications

Possibly bibliography material?

 

[Day Coydog]

No. I had already looked that one up and she said no... I think I'm just going to have to do it on something else, btw, I love your avatar.

 

[Batty Krueger]

Sorry to say but I'm pretty damn sure there aren't any books about the fandom. If there was I would know and or own it.
To be honest your better off choosing another topic like music that you mentioned. I understand that you want to write about furries but there isn't enough legitimate sources for it.

 

[Day Coydog]

Yeah, I figured out what I'm doing it about... this may seem provocative but I'm going to do a report about the Church of Satan. after listening to an interview by the high priest of Satan I found it very interesting and almost harmless: [video=youtube;0sehy8lp200]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sehy8lp200[/video]
