Newshound is an ongoing Urban Fantasy Web Serial Novel, started in 2017 by M.T. Bade (aka GreenWolf) and updating fortnightly. Set in an Alternate History where werewolves, faeries, vampires, and magic have always been public knowledge, the story takes place in modern day Phoenix, Arizona. It follows the daily life of narrator Heather Stone, a werewolf and a journalist for the Sonoran Reporter, as she investigates what could be the biggest story of her career, all while dealing with the problems inherent to being a lycanthrope living in a big city.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Described by the author as something of a cross between All the President's Men and Kitty Norville, and like the latter it spends a great deal of time examining werewolf psychology. Heather's first-person narration, in addition to providing ample snark about the people and events around her, also offers a close-up look at the uniquely dysfunctional mind of someone who is equal parts human and wolf. Duality is a major theme of the story – much of the personal conflict stems from Heather's struggle to balance the conflicting demands of her human and lupine identities, and the overarching plot is driven by the problems created by the intersection of the paranormal and modern society.Heather's narration is primarily addressed to an in-universe audience, so many of the more Mundane Fantastic elements of the setting are glossed over or given only cursory examination. Because of this, the author also does a series of Word of God posts, providing a more detailed look at the world and worldbuilding of the setting. These posts are mostly background fluff, but contain such details as Theodore Roosevelt being a werewolf, or the United States allying with the Soviet Union in a Second Korean War.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Newshound / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Or the worldbuilding notes, as the case may be. The author has dozens of pages of notes about the setting and characters. Sections of these notes are occasionally edited for readability and spoilers, and then published as supplemental material, providing reams of background fluff that would normally be glossed over in-story. | |

Alternate History | |
| Newshound / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: Done very subtly. Heather's narration will occasionally reference background events, like the accession of Yugoslavia to the EU, that make it clear that history unfolded very differently in her world. Word of God posts about the setting cover this more explicitly, going into great detail about the various divergences from the real life timeline. Highlights include the continued existence of the Soviet Unionnote and as a major American ally, no less, Theodore Roosevelt being reelected in 1912note leading to an early US entry into World War 1, and the inclusion of five additional states within the USnote although it's left unmentioned what those five new states are. | |
