Well, I finished it (the reports I should have been writing while I was doing so -- not so much). Anyway, it's not all up yet. The 12 chapters thus far don't quite get us to the famous Death-By-Transformation scene. I do think that it's actually a major improvement on the original script. A lot of t...

I don't know. This came out of left field for me. I was on DA looking for something else entirely and by pure happenstance bumbled across this. In fact, I'm sort of slammed with work right now and haven't had a chance to do more than take a peek. I think he's planning on retiring the old script (whi...

Oh, sweet awesomeness!!! AB went and put Freeborn up on his Deviant Art page as a novel. I just stumbled across this just now.
Redirect here.

Well, here's my take: First off, I think that the werewolf maintaining his mental faculties is much more interesting from a story perspective since human beings are complex things mentally. It leads to all sorts of plot-driven conflicts both internally (how he feels about his new condition - revulsi...

Some of the European werewolf myths have some weird ones too, like (in Germany) wearing a magic belt, and (somewhere in the Balkans, I think) drinking water out of a wolf's paw print.

Especially since wolves actually aren't strictly carnivorous. They technically are, in point of fact, omnivores -- just like we humans. They are still categorized as carnivores, as they are designed to eat primarily meat, but it is not an exclusive thing. That's actually one of the reasons that dogs...

After the Paris attacks, the Republicans are now moving to stop even the tiny number of refugees that we have been accepting from being granted entry. Several state governors have said that they would block any Syrian refugees from being settled in their states... Legitimate political asylum-seekers...

Wow. Okay, so this is hilarious . Reuters is reporting that there are a grand total of four Su-34 Fullbacks in Syria at the moment (this is the only type of combat aircraft specifically designed to drop the latest generation of smart-weapons in the Russian arsenal). Also, the SS-N-30 Sizzler cruise ...

Which solves the problem how? I mean, ignoring the fact that the United States has generally done more than any other country to create the problem in the first place (although Russia is rapidly closing the gap), and is doing nothing to help it aside from making vague noises that it's really Germany...

I was trying not to stare.

I would also point out that your avatar is busily ripping his clothes off.

France 24 is reporting that Slovenia is requesting help from NATO to assist in the refugee issue and managing the border.

I think this may very well be the single greatest challenge to EU cooperation in its history. The various constituent states (particularly at the moment, Hungary, Slovakia, and the U.K.) need to come together and actually work with one another. On the other hand, that's a little of the pot calling t...

I'm me. At least I think I am.

Well, I figured that Italy would be the one to pull the trigger, but apparently the Hungarians beat them to it and closed their border with you guys. It will be interesting to see if the Schengen Zone survives this. I seriously hope Italy and Austria don't follow suit. Slovenia is too small a countr...

Well, I think it depends upon what kind of werewolf (as in what kind of werewolf story ) you're going for. An action, or action/horror story, werewolf should be ridiculously strong (able to tear apart a car with bare hands). A straight-up horror story, way stronger than a human, but nothing too craz...

and now China is preparing to assist russia. :? Where did you get that ? The PRC has a battalion down in Sudan doing Blue-Helmet work with the UN's UNMISS operation, and that's pretty much it as far as troops-in-theatre go. They've got a small warship sitting in Latakia to evacuate their embassy sh...

Well, first off, I don't think Putin is pissed at Daesh at all. This is somewhat belied by the fact that Russian forces have not bothered hitting Daesh targets yet. Most of the attacks thus far appear to be targeted at FSA positions (a minority against other targets including Al Nusra Front). Thus f...

I'd expect two things to happen... The tea-baggers to IMMEDIATELY accuse all liberals of being werewolf sympathizers, if not actual werewolves, secretly plotting to destroy America from the inside and usher in werewolf sharia law. We are, unfortunately, in an information-driven, anti-intellectual-e...

Ben Carson just went on the record as saying that Muslims shouldn't be eligible for the presidency.
Apparently we're trying to out-crazy Trump now.

Given the political situation in Italy, I think the Italians wouldn't hesitate to close the border with Slovenia if it looks like the refuge problem is about to spill over onto their turf. So if Austria refuses to let them through to Germany, this could get interesting out your way pretty quickly. M...

Eh. Some movies are just so bad that they somehow become entertaining simply by being as bad as they are . But yes, if you're looking for a serious werewolf movie (as opposed to a farcical one), I would suggest using a melon-baller to remove your eyes before watching this flick. Otherwise, permanent...

Yeah, what's the deal with this? I mean, mostly, these guys just want to reach Germany -- and for the time being at least, the Germans seem to be obliging them. How come Hungary and Austria are freaking since most of these refugees are just trying to pass through? Also now that I see they're at the ...

Sounds cool, dude. I'd put my name in the hat -- y'know, if I could draw worth a damn. Oh well. Good luck with it. I'd still advise poking the Deviant Art guys. Somebody has to check their email from time to time.

Holy sh**! Where was that when I was a little kid?

Was one of them a remix of Psy's "Gangnam Style"?
