Finally joining the Pack.
I've already posted a few and thought I should formally introduce myself. I've been an occasional lurker on this board for almost two years now, but I've never been one for internet communities so I kept to myself. But finally, the allure of a group of fellow werewolf-enthusiasts (who aren't generally intolerant and crazy) was too much, so here I am. I've spent some time loosely connected to the furry community but have found the majority of those to be intolerable. Why it took me so long to join a site like this is beyond me.
I have been abnormally interested in werewolves since I can remember; I was having dreams where I was transforming into one when I was three or four. I am interested in exploring the possibility of real werewolves (wherein real = physical transformation), but don't hold much hope that they actually exist. However, like for so many people on this site, finding out that they do exist would be an incredibly validating experience. Keeping an open mind is kind of torturous, but makes everything so much more interesting.
Tangentially relevant to my love for werewolves, I am heading into academia with (hopefully) a specialty in Anglo-Saxon and Early Germanic studies. Thus, werewolf stories interest me on both a personal and historical literary level.
And of course, I really look forward to the movie Freeborn. A werewolf movie that I can actually respect is more than I ever thought I could ask for, and if anyone can do it, it looks like Brownrigg is the man.

Hope you become really involved and have fun doing it!
The wolf is neither man's competitor nor his enemy.
He is a fellow creature with whom the earth must be shared...
If the wolf is to survive, the wolf haters must be outnumbered.
They must be outshouted, out financed, and out voted.
Their narrow and biased attitude must be outweighed by an attitude based on an understanding of natural processes.

Welcome
And ditto to that, Berzerker. Articulate posters = good.
Looks like we've got a bit in common, I was a lurker too for quite some time until recently...so you aren't alone in that respect.
I think I first stumbled upon this site back in very late 2005 or the beginning of 2006... pretty much I exclusively consider myself an avid werewolf fan (and a fan of other mythology in general) but at that time some odd dreams and such peaked that particular interest and kinda revived my interest in drawing (which kinda died for a good 5 years). I ALMOST joined the forums in early 2006....but then didn't for some reason, and eventually wound up on another site. I have kinda been kicking myself since I joined, because that decision probably caused me to miss a lot of good stuff here.
I hope you have fun here.
