And, if it weren't obvious already, werewolves are my thing. Well, at least I started writing about regular old werewolves, but as I started reading more about wolf myths around the world, my story began to evolve into something different. I really credit an old passion for myths. I started reading about Native American tales of wolves, and about the ulfhedinn of the Norse... One of my interests on LJ is 'abusing mythology', because I pretty much have.
I guess that's part of why it took me a while to 'classify' my writing as 'fantasy'. I don't write about elves or faeries in sword and sorcery settings (okay, I do, but not as my magnum opus over here), and I don't write so much anymore about shapeshifters making other shapeshifters with only a bite. I make more of a distinction between 'fantasy' and 'mythology'. If that makes sense.
