It's been a year already? :O
Come write Psychic Wolves for Lupercalia - A Multi-Fandom Mini-Fest, February Thirteenth through Fifteenth!
Bluh. Why do none of my fandoms fit with telepathic wolves. I tried to come up with something for Stargate Atlantis but the only thing I managed to visualize was episode one with added wolfsister who is actually not quite John Sheppard's but used to be the sister of that guy he tried to rescue who died on him instead. And she changes NOTHING, which means this is not a good fic idea, and I don't want any longer, more divergent fic because, uh, because maybe it's a sign that I should update the Gundam Wing one I started last year faster instead. .__.;
But if someone wanted to write SGA/SG1 with wolves I would be so happy. SO. HAPPY. The happiest.
Re: Have more, with worldbuilding (p4/4)
heeeeee.
Dave is highly skilled at swordplay, and somewhat less so (though he will never believe it) at rapping.
XD XD XD
i really like Rose's John entry. Also the Bec info.
Who's the mom of Karkat's pup, by the way?
...
It is quite delicious to find that these unknown packmates will be trolls, not least because if those who sent you here had known you would have been sent as far from the enemy as possible."
*O* ooooOOOOOooooohhh. (but jane, jake and roxy still get to join eventually, right? .___. though yes moar trolls, just the idea is gleefully hilarious.)
*rolls in happiness* ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Who's the mom of Karkat's pup, by the way?
...I never thought about that. >.>
Worldbuilding note that isn't likely to make it into story: Nanna is too old to have puppies herself, but because they're more sapient than normal wolves that doesn't count for nearly as much to bondwolves as her ability to lead the pack does. Nanna is still the queenwolf; her daughters are now the ones who have puppies (and feed them before they're weaned) but she's the authority-figure in the pups' lives.
...I might, possibly, have Karkat's partner grow up to be a queenwolf. Hmmm. (Queenwolf looking for quadrants!)
(but jane, jake and roxy still get to join eventually, right? .___. though yes moar trolls, just the idea is gleefully hilarious.)
I don't have a big story plan here; I've got this section written, and meeting-with-Nepeta being planned, and vague ideas about meeting-with-Gamzee. If (big if) I write the other three joining, it'll come after those.
Re: Authornon
ooohh i love this little slang bit. *___________*
oohh. so let's say karkat's pup is one of nanna's granddaughters or something XDD
it's fine, just the possibility is enough XD
ahh you're so nice X33 *dances*

"Queenwolf. That's like - Empress?" He looks down at her. "You're an Empress?"
She tilts her head, decides she likes the word, Empress. Only it's got a personal tint to it that he didn't mean...
"Queenwolf Nanna meets Queenwolf Empress. This's going to be fun when she grows up."
Smug.)

Deck: http://www.animalcorner.co.uk/wildlife/wolves/wolf_about.html (photo under "Wolf Characteristics") (I found a wolf looking sardonic!)

Here's the wolves you haven't met yet:
George (Jake's wolf, female): http://www.npr.org/2012/02/10/146690053/return-of-gray-wolves-renews-debate-over-hunting (first photo) (named from the old cartoons - "And I will love him and pet him and call him George.")
Tequila (Roxy's wolf, male): http://www.list.co.uk/article/16383-return-of-the-wolf/ (first photo) (Tequila is the compromise name. Roxy wanted to call him Chihuahua because "it's the cutest!", but he refused to answer to that.)
Problem (Jane's wolf, female): http://adoptanegotiator.org/2011/12/08/ccs-a-wolf-in-united-nations-clothing-at-cop17/ (Problem is a master of disguise *nodnod*)
Their mini-pack doesn't have a leader so much as Jane and Problem have four half-assed babysitters. Jane's refusal to listen to good advice? Amplified by Problem.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-02 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)Jade = Platypus, Kian
Jane = Hippopotamus, Damar
Rose = Black Swan, Canthus
John = Kodiak bear, Lal
Dave = Common Myna, Kat
Dirk = White-browed Woodswallow, Hatima
Roxy = Honey Buzzard, Kabla
Jake = Polynesian Rat, Sorel
==
Kat preens like she's laughing. Hatima blinks in false bemusement. Deck tilts his head just so, careful not to let either of his passengers drop.
Neither John nor Lal seem to notice anything unusual. Even Pancake doesn't react.
Dave and Dirk look at each other Strider-style, which means it is totally hidden behind their shades.
Maybe their new packleader honestly doesn't care whether or not they're bound to the same wolf.

Damar hates being out of the water. There isn't any good mud around here to wallow in, either.
One of the advisors suggested that Jane and Damar should separate 'for your own good and for the good of your pack', once.
Problem held him in place by the leg while Damar charged. Kabla and Tequila laughed together, the wolf's huffs lost beneath the buzzard's screeches, while Roxy toasted them with her mysteriously-appearing alcohol. George was torn between helping her pack and helping the man who seemed likely to die, with Sorel frantically chattering and being no help at all.
No one tries to make suggestions about what Jane and Damar should do any more.
They won't admit that they might be looking forwards to joining John's pack just to be around people who aren't scared to tell them 'no'.

She's laughing as they sneak closer to the compound, and he has no idea why. "I should have followed Equius' advice and gone for separation," he mutters vengefully.
"If you didn't have me you wouldn't even recognise that you were being called," she snickers at him. "You'd have to come up with some explanation for why you had a sudden urge to come all the way to a human camp." Her laughter almost chokes her for a second. "You'd probably think up some stupid scheme like kidnapping a howlbeast-wiggler to prove you were worthwhile or something."
"I'm not that panshatteringly retarded!" he snaps back, ignoring her near-hysteria. There is something from enemy lines calling to them both, and they're answering the call precisely because it is to both of them. Near-hysteria doesn't matter as long as she can hold it together when she needs to fake being separated, but it's getting harder for her to hide every day.
Whatever this call comes from, there's a chance it could make things better. They need that chance. Going out in a blaze of glorious stupidity has to be better than the dying by inches they've been doing all their lives.
The call turns out to be to join a wolfpack. It gives them everything; acceptance, high status, security... they even get to recruit his/their hatefriends!
It gives them the most important thing they've ever had, too. More important than anything. More important than even their wolfpartner.
It gives the right for her to have a name.
