“As Breckenridge said, I was a medic during the war. You’d think between Apex and werewolves’ naturally accelerated healing, my job would’ve been easy, right? Well, like Breck’s story demonstrated, it rarely was.” – Larkspur, from “Scraps” in Werewolves Versus Fashion
Action scene character art commission done by Kiaun from DeviantArt, reposted with permission.

Larkspur is the third main character from my short story in the pay-what-you-want online zine, Werewolves Versus Fashion (get it here: https://gumroad.com/l/wv06 ). She starts the war as a rebel medic, but her knack for clothing and costume design eventually play an unexpected part in saving lives. You can read her story and more in the zine.

“I never imagined my future when I was sick, or really thought about who I was. Becoming a werewolf was my chance to choose. I didn’t know who to be at first, but I’d always been a fighter. It turned out that was good a place to start, because there was a war on.” – Littleton
“Like the rest of my family, I was born a werewolf – a secret I kept for 17 years. They all died getting me to safety and, like Littleton, I lived alone for months before finding others. Fortunately, I found good people.” – Breckenridge

Art based on my latest short story, “Scraps,” available in WEREWOLVES VERSUS: FASHION. Rebel squadmates Littleton (left) and Breckenridge (right) enjoy a moment of peace in an abandoned mountain town. They aren’t a couple, but they share similar sorrows in their pasts that unite them somewhat. The way they see it, when most of the world is out to get you, sometimes having just one person to watch your back is enough to keep the fight going.
You can read the rest of their story in WEREWOLVES VERSUS: FASHION, and also check out 149 pages of art, comics, and fiction from over 30 awesome contributors. The contributors and contributors are highly diverse, so the issue showcases a variety of styles, voices, and genres. The issue is pay-what-you-want, so you can download it and see if you dig what we made. If you want to see more, you can follow Werewolves Versus (@werewolvesversus) and check out the other issues of the zine here.
If you download out the issue, let me know what you think! We have big plans coming soon and feedback is appreciated. Be sure to share with anyone you think might enjoy these zines, or just comment with what you think Littleton and Breck could be listening to.
Gigante Salvaje
An excerpt from Byron Dunn's story, as seen in WEREWOLVES VERSUS: MUSIC.
Everyone else in the chorus was making melodies and harmonies between and against each other. We weren't The London Werewolves or Scavenge of Song. There would be no Grammys for the Kansas City United Scavenge House Junior Chorus. No blurbs in Rolling Stone saying we were the breakout hit of the werewolf community before the feature article on Beyonce's secret project. Pitchfork wasn't listing us in their top ten picks of “magically diverse” musical groups. That doesn't happen to inter-scavenge extra-curricular teenage howl choruses from Kansas City.
But we weren't those mundies singing on TV either. Put any one of the other chorus members on something like The Voice and they'd wipe out the competition—so long as no one revealed their magical status and brought out that bigot vote. I, however, was probably nowhere close to that sort of shaming. At least not from mundies.
“Emmerton Morris!” Ms. Lianne said. She waved her hands and the chorus hushed. “What was that?”
Of course people laughed. When weren't they laughing at me?
“Uh...” I wanted to say 'howling' but I had no choice. The truth had to be told. “Singing?”
“Exactly! That was just singing! Shallow, human singing!” She smacked the back of her hand with each word as if she were smacking my own. “Are you human?”
The American Scavenge Association would tell me the answer was yes. More militant groups would say hell the fuck NO. My real answer would have been “Yeah, I mean... I guess> so, but—” and that was not the answer Ms. Lianne wanted. It wasn't the answer I wanted either.
“No.” I said.
“Then why are you doing it? Howl!” She pointed at my chest. “Isn't there a wolf in there? Is there anything in there?”

The She-Wolf of Studio 33

Marianne found the door to her dressing room open. Her surprise turned rapidly to annoyance when she saw Agnes perched on the corner of her makeup bureau, trying on a Galaxy Studios exclusive shade of eyeliner.
"You really ought to have said yes to that hunk of glorious Hollywood man-steak," Agnes said without looking up. She was wearing a curious combination of clothes from her old life as a Kansas farm girl and her new one as a cosmopolitan flapper, a flannel work shirt over a form-fitting dress. "You don't really think a script girl with ink on her hands is his... type... do you?"
"I don't remember giving you a key," said Marianne, shutting the door behind her and flopping down on the small threadbare couch she'd rescued from the Galaxy Dumpster.
"Since when have I ever needed one?" Agnes said with a toothy grin. She tossed a well-wrapped package at Marianne. "Here, oh ungrateful cousin of mine. I don't know why I bother if you're going to be so rude."
Marianne tore into the package with her teeth, eagerly baring its contents: bitter dried herbs, tied up in a bale. "These are the real thing?" she said. "You know what'll happen if they're fake."
"Yeah, yeah, real as the America Galaxy Studios is selling at a quarter a pop. But you know it won't do you any good if you keep getting yourself mixed up with starry-eyed idiots who... how did Mr. Man-Steak put it? Light into you pretty good?"
Her mouth full of herbs and two more handfuls on their way in, Marianne looked up. "I'll be fine," she said. "This will help."
"Uh-huh. Just like it helped at the Winter Ball when Missy Capaldi had that dance with Carson Smith instead of you?" Agnes laughed. "She still can't walk right on that leg, you know."
"She's lucky she didn't get worse," Marianne snarled. "But it's okay. I have everything under control."
"Do you?" Agnes turned to face her cousin, the makeup thick on her face. "There's a reason our folks don't come to the city much. When we lose our tempers, things tend to get out of hand. Especially when it's that time of the month."
"I don't care," Marianne said through a freshly herbed mouth. "None of our folks are ever going to get anywhere other than Kansas if we don't try. I'm going to be in pictures, and that's that."
"Well, okay," Agnes said. "But if you don't blow off some steam, there's gonna be an explosion. I know you too well, Annie."
