Author: Chipotle

Cover art by Teagan Gavet and Tess Garman
Trade paperback, 339 pages
FurPlanet Productions, June 2012
This anthology is drawn from the first decade of winners – and in some cases, nominees – for the Ursa Major Awards, furry fandom’s rough equivalent to science fiction fandom’s Hugo Awards.
The Ursas are a popular vote; any fan can nominate a work in one of several categories, as well as vote on the final ballot. The Ursas started in 2001, organized by longtime fan and editor Fred Patten, who’s also the editor of this volume (as well as a frequent reviewer on Flayrah).
Many of the stories feature illustrations from their original publication; all are introduced by Patten.
