P.S. If you ended up here search for “David Jon Fuller,” I don’t blame you for not putting the accent on “Jón.” It’s Icelandic and just helps me differentiate my actual name from that of an abbreviation of Jonathan (because it’s not).

Howdy! Thanks for following “Postcards” 🙂 I haven’t had much experience with werewolf stories, other than watching “Big Wolf on Campus” and having seen the “Thriller” music video ^_^;; But a retro-80s hair-metal werewolf sounds intriguing!

“Big Wolf on Campus”? Hmmmm… I don’t know that one. Is that an episode of the new Teen Wolf? I watched the first few episodes but wasn’t sold on it. I think werewolves generally get short shrift in movies and TV, but I’m always open to see something new. Thanks for stopping by!

No problem! Actually, “Big Wolf on Campus” was a TV show in the late 90s, about a guy who gets bitten by a werewolf one summer, and spends senior year having goofy bad-guy-fighting adventures with his nerdy friend Merton, and trying to find a cure. There’s an IMDB synopsis here.

Geez, I’d never heard of that one, thanks! In the late 90s I didn’t have a TV and/or cable. I’ll have to look that one up on DVD.

It was pretty goofy, from what I remember. I only saw parts of the first and second seasons, and they were cool.

Funny, it would have been on air around the same time as Buffy was becoming a cult phenomenon.

True!

I found your blog after reading your reply to the GR Bullying site. This blog is such a gold mine, and your response to authors treating their books like babies is nothing short of beautiful.
You are, honestly, a wonderful person.

Thanks Lyn! It became clearer over at The Booksluts that part of what was going on at the GR Bullies site was that some were piling on reviewers who criticized poor author behaviour, not necessarily those who posted negative book reviews — but my point still stands, I think. You don’t send your baby out into the world on its own — you make sure it’s grown up enough to make it.

Do you remember Wolfman Jack? He might have been an exclusively American phenomenon. I remember him fondly but vaguely, since I was just a kid.

Oh yeah! They used to (re?)play his broadcasts on the local oldies station here in Winnipeg in the 1980s. I was totally uninterested in that genre of music but had to admit he made his choices sound interesting. My dad was a regular listener 🙂
