The shifter genre meets fantasy! Everyone knows about werewolves. Werepanthers, werelions, and other common beasts have also made a place for themselves in literature. But what about dragons, unicorns, selkies, kitsune, and other mythical creatures?

Shapeshifting is actually a common theme in folklore, but not all creatures have made the jump to modern fiction. Now’s your chance to help them find their place once more.

Magical enchantments, curses, or creatures that are born that way; there’s more than one way to be a shapeshifter. Some transformations are voluntary and some are not. How much, if at all, is the mind changed by the change in form?

Show us your best sexy stories of beasts from bygone times! Stories should be between 10,000 and 20,000 words. High fantasy is certainly the most likely genre for stories of this sort, but urban fantasy or science-fiction would also be welcome!
