Greets, all :)

Very, very good idea for a community, I gotta say!

I'm a twenty-something wolf therian living in lovely Seattle, recently transplanted from Pittsburgh. I've been happily married to [livejournal.com profile] teriel for...wow...three months now. I'm a pagan and a practicing magician, with an emphasis on animism, totemism and animal magics (gee, who woulda guessed?) Some of ya already know me, some don't, but it's good to be here regardless :)

I've always liked writing, though the B.A. in English pretty much solidified it for me. I've been writing semi-professionally for a couple of years now; my first book, Fang and Fur, Blood and Bone: A Primal Guide to Animal Magic came out earlier this year, and my next one, A Field Guide to Otherkin, is going to be out this coming March.

Here are a couple of things I've written on therianthropy, two of which are hosted elsewhere (but feel free to add them to the queue). I'm sure I'll come up with more at a later time, hence part of why I'm here (the other part being to read :) :

I Am Not a Werewolf

Wolf Therians and Pack - this is the first of three essays I wrote of varying lengths on what Pack means to me. It does have a link at the bottom to the original LJ post.

Here's the second part - some of this material went into "I Am Not a Werewolf" above.

And the third part

I've been reading through some of the entries here and I thought I'd introduce myself. Some of this might not make a lot of sense, as I'm too tired to write well; hopefully in the future I'll be able to organize my thoughts a little more coherently.

As an aside, I just realized that I made the base used as this community's icon. Small world.

Hey, there are such tender wolves 'round town tonight )

I suppose my thoughts reign control at the moment. I'll let them out. This is no plea, and I respect any and all opinions, positive or negative to this. Feel free to discuss.. I've been thinking about these things for a while.

hi. i first want to apologize about my lack of capitalization. something i picked up when i was in high school- thought i was e. e. cummings or something and it's a nasty habit to break. anyways...

i'm Crowe Basalt. some of you know me, some don't. either or- hello. i am crow and that right now is the only definite i can give you in my life. i am kind-of-female-kind-of-not and there's so much more but for now... let's start with a letter. a letter i wrote to my bird-self a while back over on [livejournal.com profile] as_it_were. enjoy.

It seems a little thin in some places as I skim over a few things, so it needs some tweeking, but I wanted to get it up and out there. Comments and critiques are welcome, of course. thankyouverymuch!

The Gist of It

Animal Quills is a creative community for animal-people to share and discuss their written works. Over a hundred essays are archived here (many of which in locked entries). We focus on the concrete "here and now" experience of being animal inside, and other related musings (see our About page if you want to post).
