My voting for 2017 Ursa Majors...

Motion Picture
1) My Little Pony: The Movie
Only one I've seen in the list but a lot of fun for fans even if the plot was generic and predictable. Also, and one can't say this enough, Tempest was awesome and perfect in every scene.

DRAMATIC SHORT WORK OR SERIES
1) My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
It's a great series and season 7 had some great episodes. With people trying to sow more and divisions in the fandom, it's messages of love and tolerance are needed now more than when it first began airing.
2) Mascot Fur Life
Admittedly I haven't watched it yet. I've been meaning to invite some furs over to see it but I have seen the trailers. It's great to see this sort of work being done and I hope it does well in the voting. I don't want to see another disaster like when Bitter Lake lost out on a furry award to a non-furry movie.

NOVEL
Did not vote.

SHORT FICTION
1) Rickety V
I loved this story and Missed which lead to it. They were my favourites from Intimate Little Secrets and after I leant the book to a friend she said it was probably her favourite as well.

OTHER LITERARY WORK
1) Intimate Little Secrets

GRAPHIC STORY
Did not vote.

COMIC STRIP
1) Housepets!
Still love this comic and it's been getting really interesting again.

MAGAZINE
1) Flayrah
Obviously.
2) In-Fur-Nation
I mostly see it on the side of Flayrah but I know it has good pedigree.
3) FurryFandom.es
Seems fairly inactive lately but good to get diversity and it's not pursuing an agenda of chasing shadows and promoting hatred and division within the furry fandom.

PUBLISHED ILLUSTRATION
1) ROAR volume 8
Just a really nice illustration.
2) Dogs of War
Also well done but doesn't have the appeal or emotion of the ROAR cover.
3) The Wayward Astronomer
Really cool lighting with the contrasting red and blue.

GAME
Did not vote.

WEBSITE
1) Inkbunny
My secondary site. Probably one of the fastest to load and has the good sense to let users block what they don't want to see rather than trying

to remove content that some users disapprove of.
2) Wikifur
It's good to have a fandom reference work.
3) e621.com
I know this has many critics but I still use it for easy browsing of content and follow the source links.

NON-FICTION WORK
2) Furry Nation
I hope to shortly write a full review for this. While it is a good book overall there are a mix of excellent chapters and chapters with factual errors where author bias prevented giving an accurate account of things. It is a great achievement but I can't vote for it to be first.

"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
~John Stuart Mill~
