Hey there! One of the cool things about the Internet is when you come across a good site that appeals to what you like. One of those sites was "The Werewolf Page". This site was one I visited over eight years or so ago when I first started going online. The site not only appealed to one of my favorite subjects: werewolves, but also was filled with information about them as well, from facts and legends and myths to drawings, stories and a filmography. I was so pleased with the site that I gave them one of my early stories "An Act of Kindness" to be placed on their site. It was quite an honor for me to have it on there, for it was the first time any of my stuff was on the web before I started my webpage over four years ago.
Which brings me to one of the bad things about the Internet, when you come across that same site, "The Werewolf Page" and find that it's no longer there. It's gone. Disappeared without a trace. When I checked it out a couple of weeks ago, all I saw was a "Koro-net.com" logo (whatever that is) and nothing else. Even the page is now listed on the top of the screen as "Untitled Document"
For a frequent visitor to this site, I was shocked to see it was gone. Granted, it hasn't had an update since last October. But hey, most people don't have time these days to put something new, me among them. But I was surprised to see it just go into oblivion without warning. I'm sure the webmaster had a good reason to drop it, but still to come across a site that I check out every so often now gone is a shame.
Not only was it good to check out new updates, even though it got rarer in its last days, but it was also a place for some good werewolf tales like mine. Two stand out in my mind are "A Warning" and "Drift". The author's names escape me at the moment ( although I did print these tales a while ago and will acknowledge them at another time ) but both of them were very good and well written tales of werewolves in action.
Hopefully, the site will come back someday and maybe those stories, along with the other tales and pictures will find another home online somewhere. But for now, the Werewolf Page is gone and to me, it will never be forgotten.
