I sketched designs for the first two Wereworld books. Thoughts...?

WEREWORLD IS GETTING ADAPTED AS AN ANIMATED SERIES!!!

It’ll will be titled “Wolf King” and it will release in 2025 on netflix

I really enjoyed these books as a pre-teen, they had a unique world that I had never encountered before. I can’t wait to see how they’ll adapt the series, especially in animation!

guys a weird book series I read years ago, called Wereworld, is apparently getting an animated netflix adaptation. I am flabbergasted. Time for some Tumblr predictions.

If it goes well, Count Vega the Werewshark and Hector the Boarlord will be the new sexymen within HOURS

A List Of Books/Stories About Transformation

You ever seen those titles of extremely specific essays? If this was one of those I'd call it "A List Of Books That Contain In Whole Or In Part Some Amount Of Transformation, Or The Changing Of Oneself To Another That Has In Some Manner Been Fundamentally Altered From The Self You Used To Be." That was the original title but I didn't want to be mean.

I was rambling far too long about post TF on one of warmer-hotcakes's posts and they mentioned not being able to find stories with a positive relationship to transformation (as well as transformations that are permanent) so I wanted to put a few down in a list!

Granted, these are incredibly inconsistent in pretty much every way other than being SFF but hey, we take what we can get here. Plus they weren't wrong it is VERY hard to find these kinds of stories, half of the list at this point is self published novels on Amazon written by people I've met by chance in TF circles, to give you an idea. So, to pad it out I will add more tangentially related TF stories.

If anyone happens to have more stories feel free to comment them and I'll add them on! I will also add to the list sporadically if I feel like it.

Anyway, without further ado:

Wolven by Di Toft is about a kid finding a werewolf out in the woods. It's been years since I read it but it's got a fun dichotomy between a villain and a protagonist both suffering from partial werewolfication and the ways they deal with it.

Thousand Tales by Kris Schnee is a self published series of books set in the near future where an AI runs a video game that allows people to be "uploaded" into it. There's a lot of books that don't need to be read in any specific order focusing on different characters and is generally a more lighthearted approach to the topic than most, and also it has furries in it. There are books about people who upload immediately, people who do eventually, and people who never do. Not quite the same as adjusting to changes IRL but this is my list and I get to shill whatever I want. Also, it's some of the highest quality writing/editing I have seen in a self-published novel (especially TF novel).

How To Be A Hero: (And Part Time Dragon) by S. Blakeway is a book about a hero who gets defeated and turned into a wyvern by the Dark Lord. Her eternal torment is interrupted, though, by said Dark Lord sending her out on a quest, during which she has to navigate turning back into a wyvern every few days. It's fun and silly and has lots of TF and the author is a very nice and cool person. Go buy this one and the sequel and help me bother her into finishing the trilogy please.

Perspective Flip also by Kris Schnee and Shifting Tails by Paul Lotor are a pair of short story collections. These are more of a soft recommend; both include cases of protags adapting to transformations, and generally involve positive stories, but not all of them are great. Perspective Flip is generally good but Shifting Tails especially has stories that lean very far into the horny side of things as well as topics I was very much not into, but some of them were admittedly very enjoyable. Being horny isn't bad, of course; it's moreso that there is less "story" and more "hey wouldn't this TF be hot." To be fair, sometimes they are, but sometimes they stray far away from my interests, so take that how you will.

Wereworld by Curtis Jobling is something I read as a kid but I'm gonna be honest I remember almost nothing about it. However it is about therianthropes of all types and I like that so it's going on here. They even have sharks!

The Dragon and the George by Gordon R. Dickson. Full disclosure, I have not finished reading this one, and I do not believe it has permanent TF, but it does feature a dude who astral projects into a dragon and is generally a fine book.

The Dangers Of Wearable Technology by Serathin Sabertooth (gods I hope that isn't a pen name, that would be so cool). This is one that I don't really recommend? Which is odd, you might say, for a list of recommendations. Correct! I just have a complex relationship with it, which I will include in a post here so that I don't flood this list with unnecessary words.

That's all I can think of at the moment, but like I said, feel free to send suggestions my way and I'd be happy to read em/add em to the list! Obviously it's pretty short right now and I'd love to bulk it up as much as possible for all us COOL NERDS

Hello, Happy 2023. I ended 2022 drawing the same two bastards that have been living rent-free in my little owl brain for a decade now (them and a few others, anyway). This is fine. Anyway, the dude with the teefs is Count Vega from the book series Wereworld by Curtis Jobling. He can casually go shark-mode and rip people's throats out it's so fucking cool. But he is a book character, so this is just Owlie's interpretation on his general appearance. Click to observe delightful details! (tags below)

Me, seeing how well Shadow and Bone, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Lockwood and co., and Heartstopper are doing and how psyched for the new Percy Jackson show people are. I'm hoping,begging, praying that the Spiderwick and Wereworld shows do the same for those series.

[mayas-reviews]

Ahh WereWorld. My favorite childhood book series. Surprisingly it still holds up! This one only covers book one. I’m going over each book in the series but I’m not going to post them here. If you’re like me and you love werewolves and monsters, give the series a shot (if you can find them. I think they’re out of print :( )

[angstybreadstyx]

I think it’s really funny that unlike a lot of other YA Fantasy series, Wereworld did not have any sex scenes. CJ only gave us a brief passionate kiss and then a couple chaste smooches here and there. In favor of writing whatever the fuck Trent had going on with various freak men instead
