Devins Faves

Howdy. This here is my own version of Bryan and SW's favourite stories list but with a slightly different twist. See this one here includes favourite storys from both shifti ad its direct predecessor the Transformation Story Archive.

Some of you may note some of the stories that appear on shifti also appear on the TSA. This is because some of these stories were written anywhere from five to ten years ago and in that time the author has likely made some edits that they felt necessary for that story, thus I will only link to the version on shifti as this is the one the author most likely wants people to read.

I should make one thing clear, there are only two prerequisites for a story to appear on this list.

1. I have to have read it.
2. I have to have read it and found it particularly enjoyable.

Disclaimer

There are no other criteria involved in the choosing of this list. Which means that I do not filter out stories of poor grammatical quality as I was lucky to have barely passed high school and would only feel hypocritical if I were to do so. That said though If I cant comprehend what is being written the story is not likely to pass number 2 is it?

It also means that objectionable material such as sex and violence are not filtered. Why? This is because I am hardly the best judge of what could be considered objectionable.

For example gore will almost never even cause me to raise an eyebrow. Why? To put it simply I grew up on a farm and have 'personally' bottle fed baby calves,lambs,one motherless fawn we found wandering around one year and a couple young goats or kids as they're called. I have also 'personally' shot dead all of the above mentioned species and more for the purpose of putting food in the basement freezer for the winter. This stuff just doesn't irk me the same way it does some people.

I would like to point out that mindless sex and violence turn me off just as much as anyone else so there is at least that small form of content filtering, but that is all you will find in this list. If you read past this brief blurb and encounter what you consider to be objectionable material you have been forewarned and if you skip over this disclaimer and go straight for the storys its your own damn fault. ;)

All that said though I would like to say that each of these stories below passed my above mentioned number 2 rule.

Best of the TSA stories

The following stories are the best of the best. In my humble opinion as far as what the TSA has to offer.

• Titanic{{#if:Jon Buck|, by Jon Buck}}. The Tsa version is the original but it is also up on shifti at http://shifti.org/Titanic To put it simply the Titanic and the idea of reincarnation is what drives this story.
