The 2011 Anthropomorphic Reading List has just been updated to include the titles recommended by furry fans through the beginning of December. This list is often used by fans to nominate in the next year's Ursa Major Awards.

All fans are invited to recommend worthwhile anthropomorphic works in eleven categories (motion pictures, dramatic short films or broadcasts, novels, short fiction, other literary works, graphic stories, comic strips, magazines, published illustrations, websites, and games) first published during 2011, if they are not already on the list.

Send in your recommendations and read the List to see what other fans have recommended this year. Have you read all sixteen comic strips, for example? What have you been missing?

Don't miss your chance to recommend anything anthropomorphic first appearing in 2011! The List will accept recommendations to January 15, 2012 to give people time to consider anything that came out at the very end of 2011. Furry websites are now included in a separate category, so if you have any favorite websites that were not previously eligible, please recommend them now.

Nominations for the 2011 Ursa Major Awards, in the same eleven categories, will open on January 12 (the first day of Further Confusion 2012) and will be accepted until February 29. You'll be able to nominate the titles that you felt have been the best anthropomorphic movies, novels, comic strips and books, websites, games, etc. of 2011 for the Awards. And be ready to vote when the polls open on March 15!

Remember, the Ursa Major Awards are a popular vote award, controlled by what the fans nominate and vote for! If you were disappointed that the motion picture Avatar won over Fantastic Mr. Fox, be sure to nominate and vote yourself this year!
