Hi, I'm Lloyd, writer and fox, also known as "that guy who started the whole TSA/Shifti debate".

A small note about my writing: As I post more stories you will probably notice that certain names start to be repeated. This is because I get very obsessed over making sure I have the 'right' name, that is to say one that doesn't sound contrived or cliche or just plain stupid. In order to deal with this, I have a list of five to ten names that have been blatantly stolen from a variety of sources which I reuse with impunity.

Here's a link to some of my favorite stories on Shifti.

Shameless Self-Promotion

Lost World: Set in the Blind Pig universe for pure laziness reasons (I don't like explaining things) this is a furry => human TF. I rewrote it when Cubist said he wanted to use it for his online magazine but that was over a month ago and I haven't heard back from him so I'm posting it on Shifti. Compared to the original it's far less depressing, but I still want to punch the narrator.

Bureaucracy in Action: When a fun-loving force meets a literal-minded object.

Convoluted Quality: There is something known as the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, a competition to write the worst opening sentence to the worst possible novel. Out of boredom, I made an attempt to write the worst opening sentence to the worst possible TF story. If you think you can do worse, please add to the page.

Current Projects

Right now I'm working on a Pig and Whistle story, but don't expect anything soon as I am an incredibly slow writer. Here's a small excerpt:

*Whack!*

A door suddenly swung open in front of me, colliding with my nose. I stumbled backwards and tripped over my own tail, falling to the ground. I dropped the bag of groceries and they scattered everywhere, not to mention my glasses which had been knocked off my face.

“Ow!”

“What the-? Oh, man I’m sorry, didn’t see you there. Here…”

Someone passed me my glasses and I felt a furred hand help me to my feet. When I looked up at the person who had knocked me over/helped me I gave an alarmed yelp; there was a HUGE wolf standing over me! Instinctively I began to take a submissive stance before remembering I wasn’t allowed to do that anymore. The wolf just chuckled and gave me a smile.

Random Thought

Just got back from Mexico. Got alot of bug bites but only on one arm odly enough and only on the first two nights. They weren't bad bug bites either, hardly ever itched. I also didn't see a bug until I was halfway through the week; sneaky little twats.
