Go here and read this, by [info]thedabara

Never Trust A Man Whose Eyebrows Meet In The Middle. The rest of the series is here

Snorfle yourself silly and don't forget to drop some comments =D

Also, read Reassembling, by [info]texanfan. Encourage her to write more by--say it with me--commenting.

So, apparently I'm mildly retarded, now.
*shrugs*

I'm cool with that, which is, like, so retarded.

What Family Guy Character are you?

selkie
The Scottish selkie was a being who appeared to be
a seal, but had the ability to shed their skin
and roam the land in human form. If a human
were to happen upon the discarded seal skin, he
or she could hide it and force the selkie to
marry him or her. However, if the selkie were
to ever find the skin, he or she would
immediately reassume seal form and return to
the sea from whence they came, leaving their
spouse and offspring on land to forever mourn
their loss.

As a selkie, you are a very withdrawn, secretive
and somewhat sad person, and those around you
find you alluring and mystifying. People who
come into your life find it difficult to find
the inner you. You are also curious, but you
enjoy the comforts of home most of all.

And I'm a goddamned seal, too.
I think astrology is fun, but total bullshit. Yet . . . I always wind up some kinda damn water creature, like a mermaid, or a selkie or a sprite or a naiad. My astrological sign? Why, pisces.

Go figure.

Glad ya liked the rec--I still have to comment on that fic and "Scaling Heaven" and a crapload of other stuff.

Selkies are cool, but I'd rather be a werewolf.

Yeah, but--you smell like fish! And I'm not so keen on the idea of magic being in the skin, anyway. Means that if someone wants your mojo, all they have to do is skin ya *shudders* I used to read skinwalker stories where someone always wound up skinned, or somehow their skins would be stolen, and the thief would wreak havoc. Or like the selkie legends, the skinwalker wound up married to some schmoe, or schmoette, and miserable till they or their child stole back their skins. Sad stuff.

But a shapeshifter has no such problems.

I'd totally rather smell like dog than fish.

Well, then, conversly werewolves smell of fetid meat. Yick.

Ummm - i prefer a fish smell to a dog smell, any day, and i always thought a selkie who left their skin lying around where anybody could grab it was *dumb*! Dumb, i say!

I guess the werewolf thing annoys me 'cause we always see it portrayed as this uncontrolable beast who maims and kills and really, however much i hate people, i don't really wanna just randomly slaughter folk.

Yeah, maybe a little . . . meaty--but also like earth and trees and--I dunno, whatever-the-fuck the outdoors smell like.

Those little pinc-cone things people hang on their rearview =D

Yeah, it is dumb to leave your sealskin laying around for anyone to find, but whaddaya want? We're talking seals, here, not Nobel Prize winners.

I like fics in which werewolves retain their human side. They're the wolf, yeah, and in the moment, but they're not gonna run around slaughtering the innocent. Hell, even real wolves don't bother with killing people unless they're starving or rabid.

Imagine that your scent is fish . . . and it's a hot, humid day in July . . . and your shower is for some reason broken. And you've just jogged six or seven miles and all of a sudden--company comes over before you can wash up at the gas station.

You could always blame your reeky, doggy scent on the dog. Not so with a goldfish.

Suddenly, fish-scent isn't so cool, huh?

Dude. I really don't think that the selkie reeks of fish when s/he's not in his/her sealskin. I mean - really! I don't think Oz smelled all - doggy.

And wolves are carnivores and therefore, i'm sorry, they really do stink. Carnivores just *do*, and the only thing that smells like those little pine-cone things in people's cares are those little pine-cone things.
:)

I just really hate dog-smell. Yuck.

*pokes you with my fin*

*watches you twitch and spaz on the floor*

Well there's something I don't see everyday. Huh =D

I'm telling you, fish-reek is strong. And selkies have mystical fish-reek. That's gotta be rank.

Well, no, Oz didn't smell doggy. Simply 'cause I say so.

Okay, so carnivores stink, but it's an honest stink! A hunter's stink! Not a fish-nibbling, surf-frolicking, wishy-washy seal-stink.

I think you're right about the pine scent things. But I did know a girl who smelled like vanilla. Like, all the time. Maybe she was a were-cookie, or something *shrugs*

I'm not keen on dog-smell, either, but it's still better than fish/seal-smell, so there.

And stop poking me! At least till you hose the smell off!

But selkies are Scottish and therefore kind of melancholy. :) Think of it as deep and wistful. I'm almost scared to see what I would turn out to be.

And you pimped me! I am truly honored, that's just so cool! Don't worry, I'm seeing this story through to the end, even if I have to slow down in the middle. I'm finding I have no control over Dawn, damn teenage hormone bomb.
