| So what is Barken? It's a community populated by people who shapeshift into
dogs.. or dogs who shapeshift into people.. maybe a creature that alternates
its forms between canine and human would be a better description. Despite
this being the ideal setting for a Stephen-King-like horror series, the
intention isn't one of horror so much as humourous fantasy fiction. The
residents of Barken aren't werewolves so much as people with an alternate
lifestyle. Dogs and humans are both urban animals, and it follows that a
dog-human could handle the pressure of living urban far better than say a
wolf-human, or an eagle-human ever could. The compatibility is there.
Sometimes this might make for awkward social graces here and there - maybe
not sniffing butts, but definitely leaning over to smell trees, not to
mention the interesting curve-balls puberty could throw at a shapeshifter
- but nobody's perfect, right? |

| I had to write a fairytale for German homework and I couldn't resist chucking
some shapeshifting in there. It's given here in the original German and
translated English versions - I left the German in so Faithchaser, Arctic and
the rest of the German weres can laugh at my terrible German. |
