I can agree on some bits, like it should be Redwall related, but about the anthro stuff, I believe what you're talking about is 'hybrids', mixes of animals and humans (Now, some of the cat people do creep me out, I will say. SCARY! :P)...now, I can see that having human pictures is off topic, but I think that anthros are totally fine. I mean, if that is all somebody can do or they are just really good at it, it is cool to have Redwall being interpretted that way. I mean, I am no master at animal anatomy, and I like the way anthros look. Just because they're on their hind legs and isn't exactly anatomically correct to the letter doesn't mean it is off-topic. It just the way that the artist imagines the character. There's a big difference between anthro-fan art (Which is what the anthro stuff is on here) and me drawing a picture of a human with cat ears and putting it up here and saying it's fan art. Stamping a big, red, "DENIED" stamp on all of the anthro stuff on here is rather harsh. It isn't very fair to the anthro artists on here.

And, to be on the definition of "Anthropomorphic" means "Having human qualities". So any and all art on here would be anthro. If it is not realistic, then it slips into the anthro category. Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse are anthro and practically every fiction book about animals or TV show/movie about animals that isn't National Geographic is anthropomorphic!

I haven't been here very long (I joined in June) and personally I think this website is very fun, on topic, and safe. I like it just the way it is, even with its imperfections, which everything has. Much better than Neopets (When I played it several years ago) and much safer than blogging. It is well run and a great place to meet people who are interested in the same things I am, and I know only about six people who read Redwall, and only one is my age. I like this place because I can talk with internet buddies, read up on some fan fictions, and even get some practice in on my art.
