About Myself
Marian is my real name. I am a transsexual woman, went "full-time", as we say, in 1998, although I couldn't afford the surgery until 2010. I discovered Shifti via the TV Tropes page for Jon Buck's Paradise setting.
Growing up with gender dysphoria, I was attracted to transformation stories from a very young age. Especially TG ones. Some early favorites were Piers Anthony's Crewel Lye and John Varley's Steel Beach. I discovered the furry culture in the early 90s, and spent most of that decade hanging out on FurryMUCK and SPR as a snow leopard named Shaia.
My Stories
Where the Tree Fails: this is a self-indulgent portal fantasy set in the world of the Dungeons & Dragons game. (Species)

Disclaimer: I have yet to read more than a fraction of the stories on Shifti, so if your story isn't here, it's not necessarily a comment on its quality.
Romancing the Changed: I like the Paradise shared universe, I like romance, and I love the movie Romancing the Stone, so this story was a perfect storm of squee for me.
Most the rest of the Paradise stories could also go on this list, but that would take too long, so I'll just call out a couple more that I especially like: Jetfire's Special Care and the sadly unfinished Coming Home by Nikon. I live in Ohio too and I've driven by Coon's Candy many times. Oh, and JonBuck's Family Tree. I absolutely died laughing at the LOLcat references.
Alveric's merfolk arc in the Xanadu shared universe: Hannah's Tale, Alex and Hannah, Wynd, Skye and One White Mouse, Mermaids of Xanadu, and Girl With the Sea-Green Eyes. After elves, mers are my second-favorite species.
