I just got offered a free ebook of a paranormal gay romance novel about a helicopter pilot and a were-seal. The first in a series!

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

What's the difference between a were-seal and a selkie?

I would guess selkies are more in control of which form they take than were-seals but I am unfamiliar with Matt's series so I could be very wrong. I am enjoying the thought of were-seals baying at the full moon, though.

There's a short story in "Otherwere: Stories of Transformation" about a guy who turns into a were-guppy. "Going too far" by Doris Egan. Fun.

That doesn't sound like much fun ... no insult to guppies intended. I did see a cartoon recently and it shows a full moon in the background and a pack of wolves surrounding a baby which is saying something along the lines of "yes, I was bitten by a baby".
Then there's Chuck Tingle ....

What's the difference between a were-seal and a selkie?
Selkies manifest a seal skin that must be kept somewhere safe when they're in human form. Folklore says that a human can keep a selkie against their will if they steal the skin and refuse to give it back.
So I'd assume that were-seals just transform with the lunar cycle? "It's a full moon, Imma gonna go swim and eat fish"?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Unless you are romantically entangled with a were-orca that seems like a completely valid lifestyle.

And if you are, it's an intriguing base for a plot

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I once, many years ago, read a book about a man who was one manifestation of a Polynesian shark deity ... he'd romance a woman and then either drown or eat her (possibly both). There was NOT a happy ending to that.
