eliyesAnimal Transformation AU fic is, like, superduper popular in The Losers fandom, and I have no idea why. It's not always, or even usually, werewolves. It seems to be mostly "some poeple turn into animals in this universe" with a few outliers of "everybody turns into animals in this universe. Yes, everybody. In the entire world."
And okay, cool...? I mean, it seems like every fandom has at least one (Semi-)Inexplicable ThingTM. (Some are more explicable than others, frex The Great due South Werewolf Thing -- one of the main characters is part wolf, and has conversations with 1-6 humans. Not so hard to understand. The SGA Penguin Thing... they start out in Antarctica, that's basically the only hook, but SGA fandom has multiple Things and one of them is turning the mains into inanimate objects... Digression ends.) I just don't know why people turn into animals is specifically The Losers' Thing. Or if it's possible this is just a cross-fandom Thing that's more obvious in The Losers fandom because said fandom is so small. (From what I can tell, it started before the Teen Wolf show became popular, and The Losers go for multi-species approaches much of the time, so that's probably not a huge contributing factor.)
(Is it because of Cougar?)
