THE PACK Message Boards

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.

Welcome to The Pack! Nice to see another articulate poster around these parts. I too have a strong interest in the Germanic roots of the werewolf legend. See my thread hypothesizing that Beowulf could be a werewolf.

'Sup Who's going to do the duckie honors?

could you hold onto these for me , glad you could help, I've been carrying those all day. Its good to see a new face, And happy to say Hope you have a grand ol time here

oh, and let me get this drooly... Now, you're a Pack member.

Hope you become really involved and have fun doing it!

I'm new here too...but I'm not one for lurking. But, many "welcomes" from me to you pack-mate!!!

I've taken up lurking as of late, and there's really nothing wrong with it. But please, feel free to join on in! Your opinion is really appreciated.

I'll think about it...I hear it's kind of fun

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.

Glad to see you coming out and joining us. Sure, we make for fun reading, but we're more interesting when, instead of some stranger, the duckie is aimed at you.
