Re: The world goes werewolf crazy.
Werewolves will never be ruined for me, unless they really existed and were crazy hairless rats. I enjoy be weird or a freak because i like werewolves, and for those titles to be taken away would annoy me and i would end up attacking crazy werewolf fans that aren't true fans.

Re: The world goes werewolf crazy.
Interesting scenario. However, it begs the question:
How can you ruin something that already sucks?
The thing that strikes me as ironic is that a lot of the people that complain Anne Rice ruined vampires are usually the ones that, to me, seem to be emulating Anne Rice's vampires. Personally, I think Rice is crap, but she didn't ruin vampires -- it was all of those wannabe-director dullards that flooded the market with cheap Anne Rice imitations that made the vampire overexposed. Same thing happened with the first Blade movie; it didn't suck, it was the sequels and imitators that sucked.
So who cares if a good werewolf movie inspires a bunch of crap copies? It's not like the industry wasn't producing crappy werewolf movies before it came out (Darkwolf anyone?).

Death is the final reminder of our own mortality.

Re: The world goes werewolf crazy.
They would not be ruined for me at all, I would be happy . . . because . . .
IT IS ABOUT DAMN TIME!
The werewolf has always been underrated, all I have heard about is vampires this and that. Even apocalypse scenarios are becoming to common a thing too. And not lets forget about Sci-Fi. I am a die hard Sci-Fi fan, as much as a werewolf fan, but too much is too much, and enough is enough.
Berserker, I hope what you say, does happen because there would be two groups/philosophies I will follow if true: Freemasonry(which I am starting to like a lot and sounds pretty good) and your "werewolf nature-pagan". Paganism too I like, as much as the Freemasonry, but in combination with werewolves, well . . . sign me up!

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.

Re: The world goes werewolf crazy.
Personally, I'd still like werewolves... It's just that there'd be a flood of people coming onto this site and other sites that don't always get the nuances of the subculture of werewolf fans because they follow the crowd.
Okay, I'll admit that I'm guilty of this over Twilight. I saw some people who were reading it, so I decided to start reading it (after Breaking Dawn came out).

I'm working on a werewolf novel, while liking to stay up late at night and going to college. I'm going to be sleep-deprived when this is all said and done.
Anthony Brownrigg, I hope you have the best of luck with Freeborn. RedEye, I also wish you the best of luck with Wulfen Blood. And for a bit of luck for both of you...

Re: The world goes werewolf crazy.
I'd be all for it. That would mean more werewolf stuff would be made, movies/books/T-Shirts/figures/ect. And some of it will bound to be good too! It would be nice to see not-always-a-monster-werewolf become more mainstream.
We can always complain here about how everyone else are just posers

Re: The world goes werewolf crazy.
I don't see a problem, aslong as they stay true to lycanthropes. You know, avoid the classic Snarley beaste like the wolf man.
Life's too short to be sad. So go roll around in the grass.
Re: The world goes werewolf crazy.
FYI Grey, some folks around these parts think the snarling wolf man beastie is "staying true to lycanthropes."Grey wrote:I don't see a problem, as long as they stay true to lycanthropes. You know, avoid the classic Snarley beaste like the wolf man.

Re: The world goes werewolf crazy.
It wouldn't wreck it for me. I, as a writer and artist, would probably jump all over it and put in my creative two cents.
I'm still working on the Pashunara/Vrikanara. Problem is, I've imagined this whole big, complex world for them and I don't know where best to jump in.

Re: The world goes werewolf crazy.
Try several points, then take the one that works best for you. Sometimes the easiest is the "Parallel Universe" bit, wherein your character gets sucked into this world. The advantage there is that you can make everyonr explain things for you (and your readers). There is also the "Diary" bit; where the story is told first person and you don't have to explain anything.vrikasatma wrote:It wouldn't wreck it for me.

Whatever way works; works.
