finished that Bigfoot love story I bought at CryptidCon....

I love the idea of Bigfoot being a shifter. and of them building their own communities out in the woods and living together for safety. they only shift to hunt or protect...and have a chaser with them to watch for humans. the women are the successful. only men can shift. they have more trouble getting through school, etc, and tend to have 'regular Joe' jobs. they bond for life and their mate must be able to soothe and calm and control them. usually they pick someone from The Family but our orphan Ali wandered out into the woods on a foster kids campout and the rest is history. Bigfoot can't have sex. he is an animal and responds to commands. Bad. Stop. Calm. No No. they bond for life. you bit them and rub your saliva in. then they can live over a hundred years and die within hours of you. if you lose your mate (a human) you become a loner and have no one to calm you and must hunt. loners attaack humans and get spotted out and about. when a Bigfoot dies, the others bury it. they have a cave with buckets and towels and clean clothes...because shifting causes you to be naked and covered in slime. so, it's not all glitter and glamour. but your Bigfoot builds you a cabin and provides for you. he's all muscular and has dream eyes. and....you found Bigfoot.
