They said-
“I'm going to have to recommend ‘They swirl in and around one another, creating the beginnings of the storm’ by Iridescentuwus
It is an AU that is permanently lodged in my mind.”
Have you ever heard of the book A Werewolves Guide to Life: A Manuel for the Newly Bitten? It’s a parody self-help book about living with lycanthropy, not only is it well written and funny but it has genuinely great worldbuilding ideas for how werewolves might live and manage themselves. It’s shaped alot of how I view and write lycanthropy and I would throughly recommend it to anyone else who enjoys werewolf media or need ideas for writing lycanthrope characters.
I haven't! It's exactly the kind of book I would have picked up while browsing in a bookstore, but more niche publications like that aren't very likely to be put on the shelves in a Dutch store.
It looks very close to my cup of tea! A little leaning on the dark realism perhaps (what with the "he majority of lycanthropes who do not have access to this book die during or shortly after their first transformations" in the introduction), but all the reviews say it's overall vibe is witty and funny, not grim. So that's promising!
I'm sure lots of my followers would be interested in this too, thank you anon! ^^
