Fangs Or Fur?

Happy Thursday All,

Near the end of this month Kerrelyn Sparks will have a new release out and in April C.C. Hunter will, too. Both of these authors write paranormals (Kerrelyn writes Paranormal Romance and C.C. writes YA Paranormal).

I got to thinking about all that and decided to get you, my dear readers, involved in a discussion:

If you could choose which type of being your significant other was, would you choose werewolf or vampire?

In some stories, werewolves can turn into their wolf self anytime they please and in others, only during the full moon. In almost every case they have extra powers of some nature. Sometimes it's just extra strength, sometimes it's other things.

Vampires have a myriad of traits, depending on which author you read. In some books they have speed, strength, and hearing. In some stories, vampires never sleep, in other stories they sleep during the day. In some stories any kind of silver hurts vampires, and they burn up in the sun, in others silver and sunlight don't do anything to them.

In a lot of stories there are good werewolves and vampires that try to protect humans and bad werewolves and vampires that try to hurt humans.

Keeping all these things in mind, which one would you choose? (And if you already have a significant other, if you could choose which type of being they were, would you choose vampire or werewolf?)

Have A Thrilling Thursday!

Vampire. Clothing issues for werewolves are a pain...:)

William,

LOL your comment made me smile! You have a point...although, in some stories werewolves' clothing just magically disappears and reappears and you have to suspend disbelief for the sake of magic.

Thank you for dropping by :-)

Team Jacob. That is all.

This has come up, Bethany, and I can't imagine 'chosing' to be either,more drawbacks than advantages!
Werewolves generally have more sympathy from me,(the 'traditional, under-the-curse,full-moon kind).Their lives are so 'normal'otherwise, they remain humans and vulnerable.Vampires, although, also 'under-a curse' always seem so jaded; their humanity seems to get suffocated.
OK,I have obviously put waaaay too much thought into this!
Have a nice day...no full moon tonight,anyway!
Bethany,
My current heroine in the novel I'm polishing has both!
She is old fashioned and rather reserved. Both guys are Alpha types and don't want to share...at first. Yet, she is each one's soul mate. Which one should be doomed to be without her?
As she gets to know each and yes, fall in love, it's next to impossible for her to choose. Talk about conflict and sexual tension!
Bethany said…
Carla,

Werewolf all the way, eh?

Thank you so much for dropping by!

Tonette,

LOL, so hubby would get more sympathy from you if he were werewolf rather than vampire. I can see your point, though.

Thank you for dropping by :-)
Bethany said…
Francine,

Yes, that IS a conflict for your heroine...but I was talking about YOU personally. Which one would YOU choose if you could choose your husband to be one or the other?

I deleted your other posts because they were duplicates. As my note says, all posts go through me before they are published, this has cut down on some of the issues people were having with Blogger and the comment section.

Thank you so much for dropping by!

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

Myths About Writers

Afternoon Folks, I thought we'd do a post to dispel some of the myths people seem to have about writers. I'll put the ones that first come to mind then y'all can chime in. Myth: Writing is a great way to make a lot of money. I'm not sure exactly how this one matriculated. Probably in the wake of some of the big best sellers (i.e. Stephen King, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer, JK Rowling, and the like) but most of the time writers put in more money for their writing than they do get out of it. Generally a writer doesn't make a ton of money unless somehow his/her book is a blockbuster hit and blasts through what the author owes in the advance (which is paid back to publishers through royalties). Most writers I've met and talked to are not millionaires. I'm not saying it can't happen, I'm saying it's not one of those things that's automatic. Myth: Writing Is Easy Anybody Can Do It. Okay, granted this isn't entirely a myth, but it's not ent...
