Most of my recent stories are at [http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/author/trismegistus-shandy BigCloset]; some, mostly those involving nonhuman transformations, will eventually end up here as well. I serialized [http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/book/30194/wine-cant-be-pressed-into-grapes ''Wine Can't be Pressed into Grapes''], a fantasy of manners, at Bigcloset; besides transgender transformations, it has a lot of animal transformations as well, mostly but not exclusively in the early chapters. It and three other novels are available as ebooks, in Kindle format from Amazon or epub format from Smashwords; Smashwords pays its authors higher royalties.

	Here at Shifti, I would particularly recommend JonBuck's [[Actaeon Reborn]] and, with the caveat that it's unfinished, [[User:JonBuck/Cammy\|Cammy]]. His [[User:JonBuck/Eve's_Apple\|Eve's Apple]] is nominally unfinished, but it seems to me to have pretty good closure in its present state.

His [[User:JonBuck/Eve's_Apple\|Eve's Apple]] is nominally unfinished, but it seems to me to have pretty good closure in its present state. [[Refamiliarization]] by Xodiac is also pretty good. All of [[User:Bad Guru\|Bad Guru]]'s stories are good, but [[The Realm of Flesh]] is probably my favorite of them.

	There have been a number of stories of interest to us posted at Strange Horizons over the years, of which my favorite is probably Ray Vukcevich's [http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040412/makeup.shtml "Magic Makeup"].
