[wei_jiangling]

Name: Wei
Story: The Werehuman
Colors: Dogwood Rose #4 - “Pink: 'Please Believe Me'”
Styles/Supplies: none
Word Count: 2197
Rating/Warnings: PG; no standard warnings apply
Summary: Davie learns how hard it is to truly overcome a bite from a werewolf.
Note: This is loosely based on an old roleplaying game called Half Past Midnight. It's old enough that the communities don't even exist anymore, and I've adapted the world significantly, partially for my own purposes and partially because I don't remember everything. Davie and every other character in these snippets were totally mine to begin with.

“Sometimes those with strong will are able to overcome the change. As I'm sure the doctor already told you, we will simply have to wait until he wakes up.”

[ysabetwordsmith]

Name: ysabetwordsmith
Story: An Army of One
Colors: Vellum #16 "Recension"
Styles/Supplies: None
Word Count: 1,340
Rating/Warnings: R. This doesn't map exactly to human labels because the target is not human; but for me, the content overlaps issues of past rape and child abuse, dealing with the violation of memory and identity. Current environment is safe.
Summary: Babs and Miles discover false memories in the files of the OCS-397.
Note: An Army of One: The Autistic Secession in Space is about a group of neurovariant people who establish a society of their own between the galactic arms. This is sociological science fiction with some crossover into military SF.
