I liked Mr. Jacques. He was a good author, and one of the ones that I read after Lion King. It's a shame that he's gone. I kept hoping I'd run into him at a furry con, or something where he'd be guest of honor, but he hated furry. Absolutely hated it :( I kinda can't blame him.. as he said once, his books are always about good vs evil, and there are well marked lines between the two. Good is good, evil is evil. Furry tends to, in his mind, have been less good than evil, and so he was NOT a fan.
All the same, you don't have to be a fan of furry to write anthro works, and you don't need to hate someone just because they think you're perverted and your fandom has ruined his universe.
I'll miss you, Mr. Jacques. I could have stood for a bit less formula in your work, but your tales were exciting nonetheless.
Aww.
