Do you have opinions on transformation-themed creative works that feel distinctly nonhuman? I want to hear them!
Hello fellow critters! I'm here with a small request today that I'll explain here in detail!
I was approached about hosting a panel at ShifterCon, an online convention focused around transformation-themed media and works, and had an idea for a presentation that leans into therian and nonhuman perspectives on the subject. I think there's a pretty sizable overlap between transformation and nonhuman identity as a subject in stories, art, and other creative mediums.
I'd like to open up a discussion on what therians, otherkin, nonhumans, and alterhumans tend to seek out within the transformation genre, present what many of these works have in common, and also showcase works from the community!
My request is a bit multi-faceted, so here's a breakdown of what I'm looking for:
What gives a particular creative work "therian vibes" or the equivalent to you? You can share your thoughts with or without an attached example of media.
Do you or someone you know have a story, comic, art piece, music, or another creative piece that's geared towards nonhumans and alterhumans and includes transformation in some capacity? Would you like me to showcase it at the end of my presentation?
I've got a handful of ideas for both already, but I'd love to hear what others have to say on the matter! This is a topic of immense interest to me, and a common theme in a lot of my own creative work (you may know it best from my short comic "Species Dysphoria", featured in the first issue of Inky Paws Zine)
Thank you all for your time! I'm excited to put this together! ^^
