I won't let this trend die until I get selkies. I want a fucking selkie, damn it!

But you know, the great thing about books is that there are many of them in many different genres so you don't have to read the ones you don't like.

I think there's a short story about a selkie in ... One of the Kitty Norville series. I think. Don't quote me on that though.

I'm holding out for Each Usige.

Yeah, I've been able to catch a few short stories but none of them were very... um... good. But I'll check that one out. I haven't read it so we'll see.

I'm holding out for Each Usige.

Really? Interesting. When I first read this my mind went to "how" considering how vicious they are. But then again, a lot of the creatures we romanticize are, in fact, predators too so... it can be done. How, exactly, are you hoping for them to be romanticized? (I'm just interested.)

nayrt

There's an older short story by John Masefield called The Seal Man in the collection A Mainsail Haul that has an edition on Google Books in its entirety (comically large link since not all the editions are available):

http://books.google.com/books?id=qipXAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false

It's got a touch of the old-timey casual racism, but there's some haunting bits in there, and about a dozen lines were turned into a short solo vocal piece in 1922 that come up in Google.

And while I'm nayrt, for Each-Usige, I imagine something could be done with the idea of an angsty teen who will think things like, "must restrain myself from secreting stickiness in the presence of such a naive but enchanting girl who sometimes I think secretly wants to be taken to my place to be devoured". Or the usual "this girl is just too super-special to do the usual unspeakables to", but the only way I can think of making her soooper special is maybe she has something that gives her jaundice which magically makes her taste too much like liver OH and also it means she doesn't even have long to live ANYWAY, so might as well go out adhered to the back of the man she loves. Or something.

oh oh, I read one with a selkie years ago! (2005, according to google) It's called Seven Tears into the Sea, and I don't know how it would hold up now, but I quite liked it at the time. Though, being about 14-15, I don't know how sophisticated my tastes were.

Ahaha, thanks for the rec. I will check it out.

It's not a teen romance, but have you read My Inner Bimbo?

I don't care if it's a teen romance so much as long as it has selkies. And I have not read that. You would recommend it?

God dammit, now you've got me wanting it as well, and it will never be!

I'm sorry. I've gotten recs from a few people above. Maybe you can check those out too?

Seanan McGuire writes urban fantasy. In her Toby McGuire series, the fourth book, One Salt Sea has a huge Selkie presence and Selkie romance. And is actually good. :)

Yeeeeessssssssssssssssss. Thank you. I will look into this series.

There are selkies (well, mainly just one) in Seanan McGuire's Toby Daye series. :)

Oh wow, two people recommending this. I will definitely take a look. Thanks.

If I could write romance, I'd write one for you. ♥

Um, the only selkie book I can think of is Eva Ibbotson's "Island of the Aunts", and that's less "romance" and more "children's book with a romance sideplot", so IDK if you'd want to read it but ~~Eva Ibbotson is really good okay~~ it's there!

Oh, anon, how you flatter me. And you know, flattery will get you everywhere in life. ♥

I'm willing to try anything at least once. I'll check it out. Thank you.

You make me want to write it...

Ooooo~ Dooo iiiitt~ Doooo iiiiitt~ My plan that I didn't plan has started to unfold! Huzzah!

But in all seriousness, if you write it I'll try it.

Ironic that it's in this thread, because Roane in the first Merry Gentry book basically *is* a selkie.

Yeah, but then he NEVER SHOWS UP AGAIN. D:

Oh really? Hmmm, but he never comes back? Hmmm, will consider though.

I will write you your selkies.

I love selkies.

SELKIES

Oh anon, you know just what to say to me. ♥‿♥

Eeeeee~! Selkies!

This story is freaking adorable and might be of interest to you.

It IS freaking adorable! Ahaha, silly seal. Thank you.
