  1. Following an AWESOME first issue (cheers to everyone on board and here's to many more), thought I'd get a foot in the door with a feature for the June edition : The 100 Greatest Furry Characters (or 50, or smaller, whatever's fittable).

    What I'm hoping to do is write a countdown on some of the fandom's fave furry heroes, be they from film, comics, animation, stories or fursonas themselves. Starting with the FT staff, I'll ask furs to name their 20 fave characters, and devise a system to tally all the results together - most probably having #1 as the most nominated (I've done loadsa polls like this on forums before and they've gone down well in the past). Once I've collated the results, I'll write a mini-bio for each entry and get the titanic report in for ish 2!

    What d'yall reckon? I could make it 50 Greatest if needs be.

    EDIT: This should be of some help :3

  7. Some interesting choices there - nice to see an abundance of comic characters alongside their TV counterparts. I've no indication of how the votes will sway, but I've a feeling the comic strip's gonna play a BIG part in the final results. Here's my twenty choices to add to the pool.

    1. Cleo (Heathcliff / Catillac Cats / Cats & Co.)
    2. Miles 'Tails' Prower
    3. Minerva Mink (Animaniacs)
    4. Gromit
    5. Robin Hood
    6. Fox McCloud
    7. Leon (F-Zero X / F-Zero GX)
    8. Fergus (Citizen Dog)
    9. Brian Griffin
    10. Roofus
    11. Fergy Fudgehog (Viva Pinata)
    12. Krystal
    13. Michaelangelo
    14. Dr. Zoidberg
    15. Jenny (Bucky O'Hare)
    16. Garfield

  9. The noms are looking interesting already, we've got a clear leader with six contenders for the top spot, with 52 nominations altogether. Hopefully, with some promotion on DA and FA, this figure will hopefully double by the end of next week!

    When it comes to ordering those who share an equal number of votes, I will order them by their positioning on people's lists (whilst they might not be in rank order, they will be subconsciously ranked in which characters come to mind first). Therefore, say three nominees are vying for 4th place, the nominee with a 'first' place and two 'third' places will automatically beat the nominee with two 'second' places and one 'sixth' place. For example's sake:

    Garfield (1st + 3rd + 3rd = 7)
    Roger Rabbit (3rd + 3rd + 6th = 12)

    Therefore, the character with the lowest total following the adding up of their rankings will finish higher in the event of a tie.

    Complex, but practical :) Following that sideshow, let's get back ter bizniss!

  10. I was just wondering, Tori and I have both voted for "Ozy and Millie", but I voted for them together, and Tori voted for them seperatly (Ozy being second, Millie being eleventh). How are they voted for then?

    I think they should be seperate, seeing as we're voting for favourite furry characters and not group of furry characters.

  14. Have counted Ozy and Millie separately. No worries ^^

    Also, scalies are fine... any animal with human characteristics counts (hell, I nominated Dr. Zoidberg :p). ^^

    Edit : Further update, we've got three ties for first place and 63 nominations overall.

  17. The list's compiled and the article VEERRRY nearly finished, looking at a highly possible tomorrow-evening submission. The results are both predictable and surprising in different ways... the #1 is highly deserved and predictable, but some of the top ten's... surreal O.o

    You know...I was really surprised I didn't see any nominations for Simba or Mufasa in there!

  19. Sorry, but I've spotted a mistake.

    Number 20 and Number 25 are both titled Sally Acron. Number 20 on the other paw goes on about a character called "Celo". I'm not sure who it is, to my shame.

    Anyway, it needs correcting.

    Dammit. Oh well, publishing errors will always happen. I'll sort it out later when I'm back home with mah fancy Photoshop.

    Thnks for pointing out.
