Where can I find a real lycan/therian/otherkin pack?

Question

I just want some questions answered, and google hasn't been working for me because it comes up with the most popular ones not necessarily the best ones.

I am looking for one that doesn't believe in P-shifting, or that the races are cursed, one that has a place for members to meet and chat, and one that doesn't accept rpg-ers.

I've already done spirit runners (I'm too young), and shadow cavern pack (they asked a bit too much personal information), but than again I suck at research, so if you can find anything, leave a note.

Answer 1

I know a couple of forums which aren't packs, but good communities who are pretty friendly.

There's the Werelist, at werelist.com which caters specifically to therians, though otherkin are allowed, and Trueform Within at trueformwithin.org/forum/. Trueform covers a wide variety of topics, including otherkin and therians. The therian community there is pretty big, and in my experience everyone is friendly and very open to any kind of questions. Neither really believe in physical shifting, although discussion of it is allowed on Trueform, where in some other communities it is not.

You mentioned your age though, I'm unsure the requirements of the Spirit Runners, but unfortunately, any forum based in North America, or at least the United States (where many are based), a member must be at least 13 years of age to join because that's the law. Trueform's boards are public though so if you are younger than thirteen you can always lurk for the time being!

I hope that helps answer your question! If not, there's oodles of other communities out there, and you may be able to find some listed at the WereLibrary (werelibrary.org/links.html).

All that said, good luck with your search! I hope you find a good community sometime. (:  

Answer 2

Are you wanting face-to-face, or forum type?

Most "real life" packs are going to be nothing but fluff or lifestylers who romanticize what lupine society is like.

As for forums.... Embracing Mystery is decent without being specific to anyone one type of 'kin.
