Incidentally, I'd like an urban fantasy series in which:
-At least one prominent shapeshifter pack is NOT ruled by an alpha, but rather somebody who snapped after far too much abuse waved off as LOL PACK DOMINANCE DYNAMICKZ!!! and staged an extremely hostile, possibly gory, takeover. Villain or hero, I don't care - just SOMEBODY who called the supernatural world on its bullshit.
-People faking their supernatural-ranks either up or down. People trying to pass as alphas, alphas trying to pass as ordinary folk...
-Less simultaneously treating the supernaturals as both Better Than Those Measly Mortals and Quaint Savage Folk. I know this is so the protagonist can play White Savior. That trope, incidentally, isn't just racist - it inevitably makes the protagonist a deranged narcissist BOTH ~superior~ to You Mundane Normal Folk and You Cute Little Savages. Ah- yes, can you tell that I hate it? :D
More later, perhaps ... have to get on a plane. :P See you in a bit!
