Talk to me!

Talk to me, please! I'm going mad with boredom here - I can only do so much "researching potential targets" before I get distracted and end up looking at second-hand cars instead of Toyota's corporate website.

Amazon has decided (on the basis of buying WK) that I have appallingly bad taste. The synopsis of its top recommendation reads as follows:

Until the Full Moon
Vol 1
Marlo has a problem. On the night of the full moon, this half-werewolf, half-vampire undergoes a mysterious and terrifying transformation: He turns into a girl. Desperate for a cure, his parents call on Doctor Vincent, a long time family friend. But Marlo wants to keep his condition secret from Vincent's son, the vampire playboy David. Unfortunately, the secret gets out, and a new problem surfaces: David is interested in Marlo's female form! If a remedy can't be found, their parents believe the next best solution is marriage - a marriage between Marlo and David!

Vol 2
Who would have thought that there was anything worse than changing into a woman on nights of the full moon? Marlo certainly didn't. But now his engagement to David Vincent, the handsome skirt-chasing vampire, has been jeopardized by threats from the past. When one of David's former flames sends for him, begging for help, she neglects to include all the details. then a glass of "special" wine causes some childish complications. And to make matters worse, it seems that David's father has a few secrets of his own that may very well tear David and Marlo apart. Can Marlo and David overcome these pitfalls, or is their love doomed to fail?

Gosh.

Yeesh! I'm glad I'm not Marlo, that's all I can say! I could deal with being a half-werewolf, half-vampire, but turning into a girl??? No thankyou! :P

Well my Amazon recommendations are currently a load of classical music CDs and Dante's Divine Comedy.

*smugness*

I want to know why he's called a were *wolf* if he turns into a *girl* on the full moon. Surely he should be a were *girl*?

I thought he was a werewolf as well as a weregirl, no? Mind you, how could he be? He's too busy turning into a girl to turn into a wolf?

Unless he turns into a female wolf? He's a Were-Bitch! LOL

Either way, he must be a very confused young man. When the hell does he find time to be a vampire?

He must be very well-organised, or have a very full Filofax.

Maybe he's a vampire on the nights when there *isn't* a full moon, a wolf on the days either side of the FM, and a girl on the night itself? I'm not sure what he is during the other days, though.

How the hell does he find clothes to fit?

Unless he turns into a very flat-chested girl with no arse...

The is manga. He'll be incredibly feminine before, then need skyhooks and scaffolding after.

Ah, so being a manga character, "a very flat-chested girl with no arse" will be what he looks like when he's male! LOL

...And that's why I like manga!

Well, that and the excessively high levels of sheer insanity in the plots.
