paranormal gay romance novel about a helicopter pilot and a were-seal
God I love romance microgenres.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
And if you are, it's an intriguing base for a plot

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.

If you are bitten by a selkie, do you transform into a creature whose sealskin can only be stolen when the moon is full?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I think that's the plot of the next Chuck Tingle book...
