JohnAR Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) As the number of MetaBooks continues to grow, this forums allows to exchange thoughts on the MetaWolf saga; esp. complaints and ranting about cliffhangers, ambiguous hints and politically incorrect statements. So far, this is supposed to cover: MetaWolf 1: Meta (complete) https://www.gayauthors.org/story/johnar/meta MetaWolf 2: MetaOrigins (complete) https://www.gayauthors.org/story/johnar/metaorigins MetaWolf 3: MetaShadowLands (in progress) https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/story/johnar/metashadowlands MetaWolf 4: MetaBattles (soon to come) MetaWolf 5: MetaDeaths (written) MetaWolf 6: MetaProphecies (70% written) MetaWolf 7: MetaEndings (planned) MetaWolf 8: Fate (potential short story) and MetaPrompts (in progress) https://www.gayauthors.org/story/johnar/metaprompts Edited April 15, 2015 by JohnAR 4 Link to comment
JohnAR Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Message from the Author: First, I would like to express my gratitude to all my ‘MetaReaders’ for their unwavering loyalty despite devilish cliff hangers, sadistic twists and the strange concoction of main characters; to the hosts of GA for creating such a fertile space even for off-the-beat stories like mine; and to an ever-diligent and insightful Tim, whose review and preference for blonds make me blush. Meta is/was/will continue to be written to put a contrarian point of view into the world; where tall and masculine doesn’t have to be hairy, the strong doesn’t have to be top, the small doesn’t have to be helpless in need for a white (or dark) knight, the good isn’t always sweetly good and the bad has a valid reason for being bad; where ‘not talked about’ power dynamics manifest themselves conceptually and physically; and where true love – which we all seek – shows itself in many, often easily to miss disguises and sometimes in irritating ways – all off the ‘normal’ or ‘mainstream’ path. Meta is not and isn’t supposed to be a ‘normal’ story; not a normal M/M romance with one soul mate forever, not a normal wereshifter story where the big alphas dominate the small helpless, not a normal fairy tale where evil and good are blatantly obvious, not a normal ‘gay’ story where all the gay characters are so lovy-dovy-cute and good and kind and adorable that my stomach starts to revolt. It is supposed to be out-of-the-box; and irritatingly so. This is one of the reasons why the characters – in many ways stereotypical (the nerd, the loyal enforcer, the uncaring parents, the scheming villain) – have needs and behaviors that don’t fit their stereotype at all (the nerd is bossy, the enforcer submissive, the uncaring parents chosen to shape something special, and villain … well that you shall read for yourself). None of them behaves ‘normally.’ For me ‘normal’ is boring; not unique, not special, not bringing the world further by discourse, but trying desperately to fit in – mostly at the expense of one’s true needs. For all those (but mostly for myself) I wrote Meta and will write it to the bitter end (book 7). And for all others: feel free to diss it, feel free to challenge it … all of that is great. In the end I’m like Colt in that respect: all of that is better than being ignored. In case you would like to continue this conversation feel free to drop me a mail (MetaWolf@gmx.com). When MetaWolf 4 (MetaBattles) will be published I will also open a new forum to enable maximum ranting. JohnAR 4 Link to comment

JohnAR Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Saw the content warning and started laughing. Then I got a bit depressed, because it might actually be needed. It was the little lawyer in me ... or the agent provocateur ... if there's any difference between those two ;-).

Puppilull Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I keep thinking about the latest prompt. I know this is kind of a unique story, so killing off lead protagonists wouldn't be so surprising. However, just to keep depression away and not go all "Oh, hell no, JAR! I quit!" again, I had to come up with some theories. What if the wolves (some?) aren't dead, but just kidnapped somewhere? If they were dead, wouldn't Colt just die too? He couldn't be away from them without almost dying. He can't remember what happened, so it's possible? Maybe who ever is behind this needs him for something and knows killing the wolves will destroy him? Having Jackson handle the cremation indicates all of the inner circle is gone, except Colt. Wouldn't that mean the end of him? It's not much of a theory, more a desperate hope. I just can't stand the thought of dead wolves... 1 Link to comment
JohnAR Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 [...] not go all "Oh, hell no, JAR! I quit!" again [...] Again? You gave up on me before? When? Why? What does he have I don't have? JAR Ps maybe you should write a wolf story given how you feel for them ;-). 1 Link to comment
Puppilull Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Don't you remember? After book 1, I was so angry at the end. I didn't read book 2 until you prodded me a little. I have a nice wolf story, nicely tucked away in my head. However, after reading your, Sasha's and Metajinx stories I feel I would never be able to write anything in that genre without making a complete fool of myself. Maybe you'll see the smutty highlights in a prompt. Maybe... Edit: I forgot Rob! I really like his stories too. Do you realise that your CE-picture looks exactly like his enforcer? Also, I've thought about that anonymous quote for Metaprompts and now I realise it's me! Ha, ha! Quietly brilliant and totally oblivious... That's me.
