This list is subject to changes as I try to integrate new stories. This version was updated on the 3rd of March 2007.

In order to explain my proceedings: I have sifted through the web, searching for story series. I downloaded them on my computer and converted them to ASCII text. The size of the ASCII can be found in the list above.
I have downloaded more than 90 series in their entirety and have checked on many, many more. But- of course- there is always some series hidden somewhere where I did not look, if you find some such series, post a message and I will check on it (but keep in mind that the series needs to be larger than 1,3 mB in order to be featured).

If Lion King fanfiction qualifies for the list, I know of one that should be on there:

Chronicles of the Pride Lands
2,244,002 bytes
Author: John Burkitt, et. al.
Website: http://www.claws-and-paws.com/furry/lionking
Status: Finished
Genre: Drama, Adventure, Romance
Content: A fan fiction series based on The Lion King which gives a much more in-depth version of events.

The site indicated above has .zip files that unzip to plain .txt files for all but one of the stories. The one exception I had to cut-and-paste into Notepad and save. The size above is based on adding up the size of the .txt files.

Trouble's Tales would probably be best characterized as finished. The author had at one time planned for a fourth season but was forced by events to end it sooner than originally planned.

Blue Horizon was co-authored by Steve Carter, and at least one story was written by Eileen Blasingame (Ted's wife).

Light On Shattered Water has a sequel, currently incomplete, entitled Storms Over Open Fields. The two would probably qualify as being a single series.

Taj is incomplete but hasn't been updated in something like a year and a half.

Two very good remarks...
Back in 2005 it was already an issue if I should add The Firestaff Chronicles or not. I tried to contact the author back then, trying to find out if he wanted to be added to the list or not, but unfortunately I had no success.
To be frank, I do have some problems with that. On my mind this series qualifies as being Epic Fantasy with a Lycanthrope as a main character.
Due to the considerable length of the series it would instantly rise to the pole position of the list. I am quite reluctant to give the top spot to a series that contains only a minimum of "Furriness". But I am willing to discuss this question and open to every kind of argument. Suggestions anyone?

Lion King fanfiction is a somewhat similar problem. I was almost relieved when all those Lion King, Pokemon, Digimon, et al. series did not make the Top 25 of the list. Maybe I am a little bit too narrow-minded, but I always see "furry" as being anthropomorphics first and foremost, despite the fact that the "Lion King" has been strongly embraced by the community. But I also willing to debate this question.

I will check on those facts @ mwalimu!
I have always counted sequels as well so Storm over Open Fields would certainly qualify as well. If I can sort out the chapters not written by Ted Blasingame, I will reduce the size of the series' files in order to get a result similar to Nas-Kan.

I haven't read Firestaff so I won't comment on it, except to concur that degree of furriness should factor into the equation. So far you've handled it as an "in or out" question - either a work qualifies or it does not. Are there other options to consider for "marginally furry" works? Perhaps the question merits further consideration.

If you want to exclude fan fiction from the list, that's a judgment call you can make; I don't feel strongly one way or the other and won't arguw that it would be unreasonable to do so. It would be hard to argue that The Lion King is not anthropomorphic or "furry". The words mean different things to different people, but I think in most people's minds The Lion King qualifies as furry.

I don't think you can downgrade a series because it has more than one co-author. That would be justified if the main storyline and universe are the work of one person and the parts written by others were in some sense add-ons, extras or fan works. But I don't think it's appropriate in a case where the story development was clearly a joint effort and closely coordinated between the co-authors (and I don't think having two or more people to produce material vs. only one is a valid reason for "penalizing" a co-authored work). I'm not that familiar with Nas-Kan, but in the case of Blue Horizon it is definitely a coordinated effort of the three individuals, and to count only the works of one of the authors strikes me as very awkward and artificial. Heck, Trouble's Tales and Sabrina Online: The Story both have the occasional chapter that was co-authored with someone besides the primary series author.

Oh... "Spoontoon" should be "Spontoon"

Well, frankly the main character is a furry. They also have a nation of furries in the story.

Book 1 Chapter 2
Code:

Fingers lengthened and thickened, and claws formed from the nails of his fingers.  His feet lengthened and expanded, the toes becoming larger and more defined, with even larger claws forming from the nails.  His back was hunched, but it was obvious that the bones in his spine had reformed themselves, adding to his height as his torso elongated slightly even as his legs and arms grew longer by a proportional amount.  Tarrin's ears simply fell off as two black cat's ears sprouted up through his hair, just over and behind his eyes and just behind the hairline of his forehead and bangs.  There was a ripping sound, and his  tail emerged from behind him, pink with new skin as it grew as fast as a snake could slither, then it thickened and fleshed out.  Then black fur quickly grew over it, over his arms to above the elbow, and his legs to above the knee.

That is the main character.

Book 1 Chapter10

Code:

        She was Wikuni, one of the animal-people from across the sea.  They all looked different, the Wikuni, two-legged beings that resembled common animals.  This one resembed a fox, obviously, from the ears and tail.
...
Her face was a cross between a human face and a fox's, with human shaped amber colored eyes over a short, boxy muzzle.  Her cheekbones merged with the sides of that muzzle to give her the pattern sharp fox-like face.

One of the furries from the nation of furries.

Wiki on the main character

With the main character being furry, I think that would be enough.
If you need to get in contact with the author, I can try posting to their forum.
They normaly respond.

What's the reason for this list anyway?
I always thought about it as some way to call some interested people's attention to the work of the most prolific writers (!) of the community. So in a certain way, my approach was always much more from the writer's perspective, most especially because I consider myself to be one. From that point of view, it would be unfair to compare a collective effort to the work of a single individual. I know from personal experience what a difference it makes if you are member of a team instead of working all alone. That's what I wanted to express with the metaphor of the marathon runner and the relay racer. Both of them are doing the same thing: Running! But they are doing it on entirely different conditions. It takes a lot of endurance to keep on writing a series for years and years, while not being able to entrust your work to someone else when you are tired of it or suffer of a writer's block.
I guess you would agree, Mwalimu, that I have to draw a line somewhere. Otherwise I would have to include anthologies such as The Blind Pig as well. So there will always be some kind of artificial, debatable differentiation. People will always ask "Why did you not include this or that?"
When I published the first incarnation of this series in 2005, I did not include Nas-Kan at all, exactly because of these reasons. I said "No work written by more than one person. Period!" and there was little discussion about that. You see, your arguments could also mean that I should remove Nas-Kan or Blue Horizon from the list again, because the softening of my working procedure creates confusion. What I need is definition I can work with that is somewhat fool-proof and does not lump everything together.
But I am open-minded, if you have any suggestions on that point, tell me about it. Maybe there is some kind of solution for this dilemma.
One more thing, though. I do not "penalize" Nas-Kan or any other series. It is on the list, isn't it? I simply draw the attention of anyone who sees this list on the fact that this series has been a joint effort and was worked out under different conditions than the rest.

When it comes to "Lion King" fanfiction... Well, I guess, I will include it. I will check it out and put it on the list as soon as I have checked on this other stuff as well. I hope that will happen during this weekend.

@Trekkie: It would be nice if you could ask the creator of the Firestaff Chronicles if he wants to be on the list or not. Maybe you can give him a link to this threat, so he can have a look at it and decide for himself if he thinks that his series would fit in. Thanks in advance!

I hope you don't think I'm being disagreeable or argumentative. I'm actually having fun thinking all of this through and working out some of the reasoning.

On the single vs. multiple author question, I think it's a matter of defining what the objective of the list is. Are you trying to rank the longest series, or the most prolific authors?

A big part of the question revolves around drawing the line between a "story series" and a "storyverse" (or "story world"), and sometimes it's not a clearcut distinction - you encounter cases that are somewhere in the gray area between them and you have to make a judgment call. Basically, my opinion here is that if it's one story or a story series, it should qualify, and if it's a storyverse, it should not qualify (at least not as a collective whole; a storyverse may have stories or series within it that would qualify - the Sabrina storyverse includes SOtS, ZZtS, Tabitha, Identity Crisis, Gone Wylde, Cheetaur's stories, and numerous smaller works. Forest Tales is likewise part of a larger storyverse.) Given that it's not always a clear distinction, multiple authorship is one element that in general would tend to favor a set of stories being a storyverse rather than a series, but I don't think it should be automatic. If the authors have collaborated to produce one integrated storyline, then it's one series. If the authors are telling different stories that overlap but which are largely separate storylines, then they're different stories in a storyverse.

Blind Pig would certainly be a storyverse (s I understand it; I haven't read that much of it). Blue Horizon should in my opinion be considered a story series. By the way, BH is also a storyverse insofar as its authors have established guidelines for others to write fan fiction, and a couple of authors have taken them up on that - those would not count as part of the series. Ted B. has also written a novel, Hoenix that is in the same setting as BH and crosses over at a couple of points but is otherwise unrelated. Should it count as part of the same series? In my opinion the works are too far apart and should not.

As I said earlier, you can go either way on fan fiction. If you find that including a work of Lion King fanfiction obligates you to include works such as Pokemon fanfics that are really not what you indended the list to cover, I could understand excluding all fanfics for the sake of consistency.

Authors rarely turn down any kind of publicity, as long as it's not bad. Wink

However, the Firestaff series isn't so much about a furry as it is a lycanthrope...and a pretty ruthless and unfriendly one at that.

I wouldn't object to the Firestaff series being on the list, but I'd have to agree that the degree of "furriness" should certainly play a role in the rankings. Firestaff should be somewhere near the bottom of the list, if it appears on the list at all. Wink

As to trying to contact me...well, that's not always easy. I have a full plate most of the time, and I can be hard to pin down. Even if you do manage it, my swiss cheese brain forgets all about it unless you dangle something shiny in front of me to keep my attention focused.

Btw, thanks for the consideration. Very Happy

Somewhere near the bottom... If it appears at all...
Guess it's all up to me again. Oh, how I love having responsibility!
Taking into consideration that my only criterion up to now has been the length of the series it is somewhat difficult to add it at the bottom of the list.
Why can't force me anyone to add it? Then- at least- I could blame someone else! But maybe all of this counts as peer pressure...!? That could actually work out...

Alright! Congratulations, Fel, our new number 1 on the list!

Btw, I also added the sequel of Light on Shattered Waters to the file size of this series and added Chronicles of the Pridelands as well.

For your informatio, Mwalimu: I did included Touch of Nisei, but I did not include The Leonid Saga for pretty much the same reasons that I would consider The Hobbit as a part of the Lord of the Rings saga, unlike The Silmarillion. The creators themselves consider The Leonid Saga to be a Companion Story and not a part of the real series and I do agree with them on this. It is a collection of myths after all that are a part of the storyverse, but they are not a part of the original series (I would define a series as having a defined cast of characters that share a common timeline).

I can honestly say that I'm astounded that my Broncos series was considered to be prolific enough to make any list like this! My heartfelt thanks for the inclusion, and be assured that I'm far from having run out of ideas for the storyline to continue for decades on end.

Deepest thanks, Kodayu

Post Scriptum: If anyone feels like bothering while reading them, an extensive series of illustrations of the characters is available on my website <okapiland.freewebpage.org>. No yiff whatsoever.

Credits where credits are due, FGR!

By the way, I almost forgot about this... Congratulations to all of the writers who made it on the list! Smile

Dang, now I'm back to #5 again. How am I ever going to get back to the #2 spot where I started at? Laughing
