Because Beastforum and Knotty.me don't exist, evidently.

No. No you cannot. And nobody in their right mind would volunteer.

And your book wouldn't have any credibility with only anonymous sources. (Why? Well, if you don't know, then perhaps the fact that I've shoved myself hip deep in a giraffe may enlighten you.)

Welcome to the problems of persecuted groups. Pedophilia is a big one right now for groups they're struggling to understand (and probably more vital for social wellness, really - if we understood them, maybe we could prevent them from creating victims and oops we're out of time).

Nope. I feel proper research, such as done by Miletski and other people in relevant fields, is much better than books based on a random subreddit.

I have sometimes pondered the possibility of writing fiction with a zoophile character, just throwing it in without having the story to be about zoophilia, and not including any animal sex in it either. Just mentioning it in a passing to see how people would react to that.

Sorry, I have a few objections.

Do you have any writing experience? Do you have any real understanding of zoosexuality outside of childhood experiences and what you've seen and read on the onion network (the character of which, I feel, is highly suspect)? I feel that anyone writing about anything zoo for public consumption needs to have much knowledge, skill, and tact in handling the issue. Can we be confident that you will be a good ambassador for us?

Also if you are as paranoid as you claim, do you really want to do something like this at all? Do you really want to put your name out there attached to such a piece of writing? Won't this screw with you and make you feel more vulnerable?

##Some questions:

• Who would the audience of the book be?
• What would the topic of the book be? (biology, taboo, community)
• Why are you choosing the posts from this subreddit? There is honestly not enough to go on.
• What is the purpose of writing this book? Descriptive, persuasive? (I hardly doubt you can persuade many people on this topic.)

##Somethings to consider

I would like to refer you to the furry fandom's interaction with the media, primarily interviews. Some were mild, most caused problems, and a few, like MTV's Sex2K, were downright horrible. This would be a disaster.

There are differences between zoophilia and the furry fandom. One big difference being that one is illegal (zoophilia) and the other is not. If a source gets caught, it could mean about 15 years in prison (Michigan). This is serious.

##A better place for information

• http://www.zeta-verein.de/ -- This is a zoophilia advocacy group in Germany; however, you will find many more resources and willing people to help you write your book. They even have video interviews.

I would object. You said earlier that you would write your book for "entertainment" purposes. We are a persecuted group. There's nothing funny about our situation. Please respect us!
