I'm thinking of writing a realistic story about three teenagers, who live fairly normal lives but the werewolf curse hits them after an eclipse messes the moons pattern and turns random people into werewolves. The story would be about them trying to balance their normal lives with the beast inside them. They soon realise that they miss the worries of their old normal lives after they are forced to kill a werewolf who goes on a killing rampage. Id kinda like it to be in the same style as Being Human, and maybe introduce Vampires and other supernatural beings. Any ideas?

I think there's a lot of potential in this. Because you listed 'Being Human' as your inspiration, I can imagine it being more character driven - giving a humanity to beings that are felt to have no humanity. Develop it Create those characters and flesh them out; their hopes and dreams, personalities, family lives - and see what happens. How do they interact with their parents? What do their parents think of them disappearing all night to transform? Do their parents suspect anything is wrong, or do they just accept it as a teenager thing? There's so much room here and I think you might have something that could be entertaining and thoughtful, with parallels to teenage growth and the whole coming of age experience. Plus, because you mentioned 3 possible main characters, it means you can show this story from 3 different perspectives.
I'm intrigued, to say the least.
Good job!
