Ask a Werewolf advice column

Billed as “reasonable advice on taboo subjects from both an ethical human and the demonic beast that occasionally possesses him,” Ask a Werewolf is (or was) an advice column featuring answers from both a human and his wolf side.

Wolf: Hi Concerned. Fear is perfectly natural, don’t feel bad about it. Fear was probably the first emotion. All animals experience it, even monsters like me. Your species is very very thinky and clever, and as such, you suck at regulating your fear. I’m not very clever, but here’s a few perspectives that might help you manage it better.

Alas, it only ran two articles in February and March 2017, and seems to have been abandoned.

Skin Horse: Big Bad Wolves

Skin Horse is a webcomic about an underfunded secret government agency tasked with providing social services to ‘nonhuman sapients.’ It’s a great comic, but what does this have to do with werewolves?

…OK, this may take some explaining. Sweetheart (the genetically-engineered talking Canadian super-dog, but not one of the ones they thought they were looking for) and Unity (the zombie) are out on a field mission when they find that the entire town that they’re visiting has suddenly turned into vicious beasts. Unfortunately for them, this means that they now have an entire town full of clients. To make things worse, their fellow agent, Tip (the sole human on the team) has been bitten and will soon be transformed as well. Tip is particularly upset about this because he doesn’t want to ruin his manicure.

Fortunately Tip seems to take things in stride.

I won’t spoil the rest for you. Go read the whole chapter!

Introducing Lycanthropy Today

Tonight is a full moon, and what better time could there be to start a blog about werewolves than that?

On this site, I’ll be looking at their fuzzier side. The popular conception of werewolves is of mindless monsters, but many of them don’t deserve this reputation. I plan to talk about webcomics, stories, books, and anything else that features friendly, fluffy were-creatures. I’ve been collecting links to werewolf-related sites for a few years now, and since I’ve been unable to find a similar collection anywhere I thought I would start this site to share. I hope you enjoy!
