Hmm... seems logical enough in general, but I think you're being too specific. I would think enough experience would give better control no matter when you started transforming. The first few times, maybe even the first few years, they would transform at each full moon, but over time they would be b...

I wasn't saying you were trying to turn this into a furry movie, and I apologise that it sounded like I did. My point was that what looks good and often sexy in a drawing - such as those made by furries - would not look good rendered realistically. In fact, it runs a significant danger of looking si...

I always thought it would be neat if people had tails :) Hell, we already have one, sort of, but it's evolved to this little nub of a thing we just sit on. That's something I have wondered, too. If we -did- have tails, how would we sit? Would we sit ON them, or would they have to be highly flexible...

This is a werewolf, not a furry. If some girl (or guy, I suppose) with long hair turns into a werewolf, it would look really weird to see this fantastic CGI and prosthetic job with a wig stuck on top. What looks good in drawings doesn't always look good in real life - witness the Rocky and Bullwinkl...

Part of the problem is that a lot of people already voted, and aren't interested in the debate. They don't return to the thread. They don't know it's been reset. Twice.

Now that just isn't true. There is MOST DEFINITELY porn outside room parties. There has been at every con I've ever gone to, furry and otherwise. I expect Anthrocon would be no different. I also expect it would be no different in that it is pretty easy to AVOID that porn if you prefer. At SF cons, i...

I think that's taking "you are what you eat" a little to the extreme :)

OTOH, I heard burned humans smell like pork. It's a good bet they'd taste akin to pork as well.

"Howling Mad" by Peter David is very good. It asks what happens when a WOLF is bitten by a werewolf. Though the answer should surprise nobody, how it's handled is simply wonderful. "Hair of the Dog" by Brett Davis is set in a world where werewolves are... not common, but certainl...

So a werewolf would consider someone they pass on the lycanthropy to as their children, or adopted silbling? Maybe a Werewolf who was born one and has some ritiuos sense of Werewolf pride would do that, "for the continuation of the werewolf race", but others I think would be far less will...

Interesting question. I think that werewolves as they seem to be taking shape here would be reluctant to make more werewolves, though they wouldn't avoid it like the plague like Vuldari implied. The reason is simple: some people can handle being a werewolf, and some people would let it go to their h...

I think a decision like that is best made by the director and producer, and asking for it is getting greedy. We've already been indulged an awful lot as it is.

Re: Werewolf slang

What would some of it be? "Were out" to refer to the shift to wolf? Please don't use the prefix "were" to refer to the wolf. It comes from Old English meaning "man." I know. I was tossing phases out as I thought of them. I don't particularly like "wild boy" e...

Werewolf slang

If this movie is going to be about a community of werewolves, or even just a loose pack that meets up once or twice a month, (kind of like a bowling league except they shift into wolf and go after deer) then shorthand and slang is inevitable. What would some of it be? "Were out" to refer t...

Wolves and canines, if I remember from my research, can see color. Red and, I think it was green, are actually quite distinct to them, because they matter. Red for blood, greed for vegetation. Or maybe it was red and blue, blue being water. But I think it was green. Yellow and blue (uless it's yello...

Longevity is, like so much else here, a judgement call. Wolves, and for that matter most other creatures, have a shorter lifespan than humans do. A straight compromise whould have a werewolf rarely getting past 45 or 50 years old. But then the regeneration comes into it, and you have to ask yourself...

Well, although it was I who suggested Lunatics, I voted for The Pack. It just works better. I don't think anyone will confuse this with the gang from Gargoyles, given that this'll be at the end of a movie that has nothing to do with Gargoyles or, presumably, Disney. Of course, if Duckies was an opti...

Ok these are all valid points, but remember, that a werewolf is BOTH human and wolf. Remember the quote "All our strengths, none of our weaknesses?" Why? Why would, or should, a werewolf have none of the weaknesses? It makes no sense. Even if you take out the idea of silver and the moon, ...

I preferred the black claws because a lot of canines have black claws - though don't ask me which, and I dont know if wolves are among them. I think yellow teeth are better than white because, well, wolves don't brush. You can say, "But humans do!" all you like, but there's still not many ...

Other than Lunatics, I most like "The Pack." It's specific enough that people who watch through the whole credits will likely realize it's a SPECIFIC group of people, even if they don't know what that group is. People here, of course, will know, and will cheer at the mention. Of course, if...

Open doors. Talk. Count to ten without resorting to toes. Humans can eat chocolate - big advantage! More seriously, humanity's biggest advantage has always been the opposable thumb. Humans can kill from a distance thanks to the gun or spear or bow/arrow, none of which is usable without a thumb. Thus...
