    Chapter Two: Scent

    Is 'I have a plan!' enough to not kill you? Probably not. You will get to know more soon, and fast. Thank you so much for reading and commenting. It means the world to me.

    Chapter Two: Scent

    Thank you so much for reading my story All your points make me happy! Tells me chapters one and two are not total crap, and there's actually some threads being hinted at that people outside of my brain do understand. Yay! Without going into detail and into spoilers, we will explore all of the points you mentioned, and in great detail. Maybe too much of it. I might have been world-building for a decade. Thanks again!
  3. This is still exactly what you can find in all German supermarkets in several variations. It is an acquired taste. Side note: as someone who still knows the meat taste of it and you has since also eaten the vegetarian version, the taste is indistinguishable. Science!
  4. As a German, I do appreciate a German sausage, even though I don't eat meat It is kind of a paste though, not really like the sausage-shaped sausage. Thank you, this made my day.
  5. Some punk. This album has always been controversial and when I first listened to it, I didn't like it. I was very young. When it was used by the show Millennium in the most poetic way ever, I listened again. And now it is my favorite art experiment of all time. It is incomparable. This song specifically ends me—Horses by Patti Smith. A live version.

    Chapter Two: Scent

    Thank you so much for reading and enjoying the story, it means a lot to me. The Lunar Haven is truly Grey's sanctuary. He got here because fate willed it so. What this means in this world is for us to find I guess... just as much as having to find out what a Werewolf bouncer could do. I like your foresight. 😛

    Chapter Two: Scent

    A tiny cliffhanger I guess My wolves tend to see the world by scent. This is a major thing. Grey might just be in over his head with this guy. Is it just a crush or is there more? I sprinkle hints here and there BUT OMG MORE IS COMING SOON! Thank you for reading, Chris.
  9. I slept in late. I hadn’t intended to do that. Though to be fair, I hadn’t planned on being here in the first place. The view from the room wasn’t nice, but it also wasn’t home. What seemed to me like a bustling metropolis last night now felt like a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. Still unlike anything I grew up with. But now, looking at the grey, lifeless buildings outside, the memories of my last night at home came rushing back. The taste of blood. The scent of fear. It was intoxicating. I

    Chapter One: Arrival

    Thank you for your message, it is very welcome, and I appreciate it so much! WolfM's Running with the Pack is an incredible story, of which I draw inspiration. I am not 10% of the writer he is, but werewolf stories are so close to my heart that I just had to take a stab at it. I have much of the story written, but am entangling and disentangling lots of it in the later acts with vigorous editing, sweat, panic, and chocolate. I hope it's not too much of a slow burner, but I don't want to reveal all of Grey's past too quickly, or that of Dave, or Clara, or [CENSORED], or [CENSORED], or [CENSORED], or [CENSORED]. Thank you again for reading. Any input is greatly valuable and a driving force for me. This time is very exciting for me right now.
  11. Just finished the story up to this point. True science-fiction. Oddly feeling bad having read a sort of guilty pleasure. lol Interested where this goes. Do Utopias exist or will the women strike back with a vengeance. I feel a twist coming on. XD Thank you.

    Chapter One: Arrival

    This is very helpful! Thank you so much. There will be more of this "show don't tell" from chapter three onwards. Again, very helpful.
  13. This is me. Nervously overcoming self-doubt. It took me 13 years to get my ass in gear and post writing of my own after reading for such a long time. But there was never a doubt that this was the perfect place for me to do so. The way GA is structured right now is kind of perfect. Sure, there is nostalgia on my part with it being a forum community and not some sort of Discourse/Discord/social media style endeavor. I grew up with a modem after all. I'm sure the world will grow out of Tik Tok in time too, while this remains—fingers crossed. So readership numbers are... I don't know. Not comparable? The worlds of someone posting on GA and finding like-minded readers and growing as a writer in doing so compared to a potentially traditionally published author in the future who is managing their Instagram and Tik Tok and YouTube profiles, while at the same time writing to agents to find representation, could not be more different. I would say that other than putting words on a page, they have nothing to do with each other. And having said that, should I in my infinite wisdom—and most of all luck—ever be in a situation where this could become a career, it would not displace the engagement with my readership on GA. Or the fact that I'd still like to write stories for GA. In a sense, the stories here can be more. More than just neatly packed up, and edited for the market, contained stories or limited series. So. Take this all with a grain of salt. I am a numbers person and greatly enjoyed OP's analysis and statistics. But it's not in any way diminishing the fun I have over the past decade, or the fun I'm experiencing right now with having people read my shit. Also I just posted my first story, so what am I talking about 😅 Thanks to everyone who makes this site thrive. I believe it is.

    Chapter One: Arrival

    Ooooh. In-depth! It may be Bend, that is correct. Or is it? All feedback is so very much welcome. And while I have prepared many of the upcoming chapters, and am sure about the overarching plot, all of the comments influence me greatly. I have a lot to learn, and I deeply appreciate it when people take the time to read, comment, or just to say hi. 💙

    Chapter One: Arrival

    Thank you so much for reading! You are the first comment to the first thing I've ever shown the world. lol
  17. Grey, a young werewolf, has left his pack to find answers in a small Oregon city. When he steps into The Lunar Haven Bed & Breakfast, his life changes in unexpected ways. It is here where he meets Dave, the bartender, and Clara, the perceptive owner. All three are thrust into a world of supernatural mysteries and curses, and have their destinies intertwine in the most unexpected ways. This is a story full of wolves and magic, love and family. About finding the people that matter the most.

    Thank you for the perfect story for this time of year. 🎄 I enjoyed it thoroughly. 🙂

  21. Central Oregon. I stepped off the bus into the heart of the city, a world away from the quiet, moonlit forests where I grew up. The city—if you can call it that—was alive, its lights and sounds pulsing like a living entity. I adjusted the strap of my backpack, feeling the weight of my few belongings as a stark reminder of the path I’d chosen. The air here was a mix of exhaust and distant urban melodies, so different from the earthy scents of the wild that I was used to. I took a deep breath
  22. What a wonderful story. Absolutely made my past few days reading through all the chapters. Thanks, Com, for posting an update today. Really looking forward to Artie meeting Scottie... that’ll be fun. And Tristan’s mom meeting Jesse. And and and...
  23. Smooth sailing. Hope it goes through flawlessly Still hoping to get a chat feature back
  24. YES. THIS. SO MUCH. OMG.
