I submitted a grad school application today! I've also had my GRE scores and transcripts sent, and I'm getting close to the end on another application. This means it is time for me to get back to writing. I'll be working on my post-apocalyptic snippet and the second part of my anti-WolfFail thing this week, as well as filling a prompt I've been putting off.

In the meantime, have a video of a Pomeranian puppy letting out her inner wolf.

This is the beginning of an animal soulbonding story that was inspired by the conversation in comments on this earlier post. Warnings for the kind of backstory that fantasy protagonists so often have (dead mothers, abusive older men, bullies and wicked step-brothers of sorts), but the story concerns the aftermath of that. I think the piece is coherent in itself, but the comments on that post are necessary for understanding why I made the specific choices I did (no wolf-women, downtrodden and abused protagonist, a mission led by a female wolf and her partner). Oh, and the fey-wolves and wolf-men in this story, while they're not angels, are certainly not into gang rape.

I have been to the bookstore, and I have learned that A Compendium of Wolf Fail has a sequel. It is called The Tempering of Men. Its cover depicts shirtless troll-battle. Because who needs a shirt when you're living in a cold climate and fighting clawy, fangy monsters? Protection from enemies and elements is for those silly, offensive slashers and their weak characters, not for professional writers of quality fiction and their strong, manly characters who are totally not gay even though they have sex with each other because their telepathic, biologically nonsensical "wolves" make them do it.

I am morbidly curious, but at the same time, there is a strong chance that I'll regret looking.
