Hm. Well, I still believe either word is appropriate. "Furry" denotes direct assosciation with the fandom (or at the very least, a pop-culture reference that isn't appropriate in all settings) whereas "anthropomorphic [animal/fiction/fantasy] tends to be the more traditional term. Hell, I tend to call the things I create anthropomorphic rather than furry. ("Oh, you're drawing furries?" is one of my pet peeves in a conversation, but I can never say "No" if it is an anthropomorphic animal.)
