Anthro/furry novels

Hi all, it's Byddie-Pop!
I'm curious if anyone else is writing a story starring athromorphic animals?

I'm not writing one personally, but I have quite an affinity for them, so it's nice to see people writing them!

I do not know if you would consider mine furry, because it is not full anthro, but the main character is a fox.

I am, and dang is it hard! I've always felt this is an underrepresented genre, and I'm starting to see why perhaps more writers haven't explored it. When creating characters, it's difficult to find a good balance between an animal's natural personality and the requisite human element. I suppose you have to find the balance that works for you, but there are so many possibilities! Has anyone else struggled with this?

You could have a human suddenly transformed into an animal or their soul could inhabit an animal, and their morality would be trapped within the animal, causing the conflict between a highly moral human and the bloodlust of a wild animal. It could possibly get very philosophical.

Sounds interesting...
Meh, still have 2 weeks to decide.

I might be turning one of my RPG campaign/story worlds into a novel and it may include anthro/humanoids. Either furry or reptilian, though could be both. It would be somewhat medieval with a magic and/or mech space-travel theme.

It's possible I may do a set of stories w different characters all inter-connected to the 'main' story. I think if I do it this way I'm sure it'd be an easy way to introduce a new campaign world and NPCs for aspiring players.

Also not writing Furry per se but one of my main character is an anthropomorphic* Lion-oid.

* Classical anthro so all the human traits are mental.

Though there is a Jackal-man in my story, he's more of a mysterious side character.

Though I haven't made up my mind quite yet, I'll probably go with anthropomorphism. I think I might want to do something with birds or rewrite my first NaNo, which was an animal story.

Then there's always Redwall fanfiction that I might do. ^^

Mine will, it's a Fanfiction, but the OC's are Genetically Engineered Shapeshifters bred and born to fight in a war that's spanned 10,000 years. (Stargate Atlantis) The main character is a wolf, but there are multiple distinct clans, Bear, Wolf, Deer, Horse, Etc. They can interbreed, but one genetic legacy will be dominant and there will never be a half-Wolf/half-Bear. You might get a VERY large wolf, but it would only be a wolf or bear. Nor is it possible to have a Wolf out of a pairing that has Wolf grandparents but aren't Wolves themselves....if that makes sense.

I have a race of people that possess SOME of the physical qualities of animals, while retaining a completely human mentality. Some people are more animal-like than others and whatnot.

It's a source of deep cynicism and tragedy for my novel, also. What happens when a child is born with gills? It's a very imbalanced system. (Magical mutations are FUN.)

I might to a story about birds (because birds are awesome), though with a lot of human traits (focusing on our less desirable traits like aggression, racism, and grudge holding). It would be out of my normal realm, but would be a lot of fun to write about.

hooray for Redwall! Woo hoo!
no i'm not writing a redwall fanfic but the plot for my story did come from a Redwall RPG and features weasels, ferrets, and otters. actually i'm the head script writer for a budding animation company and i'm trying to turn a vague RP plot into a full story that will eventually be animated. if i didn't really need to churn the words out for that i might have been writing a prequel to the steampunk novel i did for NaNo last year. it's nice to be back to the furries though. when a friend of mine was reading my novel from last year she said she kept picturing the human characters as hamsters or something because i guess that's what i'm good at. i did have a hard time last year not writing paws instead of hands in several scenes.
ah yes back to the furries for me and as much description as i can cram into it so i can explain what it's supposed to look like to a bunch of storyboarders when i get done.

Why didn't I think of that? I was gonna do a story in honor of Redwall, but didn't. Oh well. I guess I can always fix up the first "series" I wrote one day.

Not huge into this, so I dunno: Would werebeasts fall into this? In a Sci Fi world I'm working on, I opted to cut to the chase and say that all the werebeasts world over finally fought back and won. After several hundred years I'm thinking that they can't be your average werebeasts anymore. They're the dominant species, so I'm thinking they are a lot more open and okay with their animal nature. Very few attempt to repress it, but those are mostly their young.

Quite a few of my main characters are animals. So they're not exactly anthropomorphic, but they're talking and they have personalities like humans.

I'm writing Warrior Cats fanfiction where all the characters are cats. Does that count?

(I assume so)

Some of my characters are humanoid dolphins, but my viewpoint characters are plain humans (so far).

I'm glad to know I'm not alone in this genre! Personally, I feel I can be more creative when writing about anthro characters rather than average humans. It just seems more fun to write about ears and tails along with barks and growls.

My story stars anthro characters, but is otherwise completely real-world set. I just find it more interesting to write with anthro characters, more than anything. Which is pretty lazy on my part, I suppose, but whatever.

My novel is about a pigeon who set out on a quest and becomes friend with a mouse and a cat along the way. (It's not as childish as it sounds. Think wars between the different animal races, bloody battles and fur flying.) It does features some humans, but they're only in the background. I'm a bit worried about writing from the point of view of a pigeon, not the easiest thing in the world.
