Here's a selection of stories that don't suck.

...just kidding. These are stories I Like, but I can't tell you what makes me Like a story since I haven't a clue myself. Generally it seems to be something along the lines of

1. Vivid descriptions
2. Focuses on aftermath of TF
3. Foreshadowing
4. Animals
5. Hope

And the things that do poorly for me in a story include

1. Plot holes
2. Obvious Good and Evil
3. The Grin
4. Power imbalance

Anyway, here's the list.

• How the Celolowhatever Survived - a lame "here we go again" ending, but good otherwise
• Be Prepared - Pretty good although I think that moose has been in more than one of Jon's stories before
• Best Friends - awwww pupppieees
• Just Because You're Paranoid - awesomeness the life of animals magic intrigue. I remember this one! Haven't seen it in years. Too many raccoons. -.-
• Care and Feeding - Ptooey!
• Change of Seasons - Raccoons are warm
• Escape Window of Opportunity Consolidation - A well balanced (so far) story with the barest flickers of hope.
• The Coyote and Road Runner Show - Inexplicably well balanced, plus tasty snakes
• Echoes - Not just a story, a philosophical treatise
• Gillie's Gift - awwww melted faces how cute
• Gonna Rain Tomorra - ah the charms of old country livin
• Good God! - Why yes I do like the fresh taste of wood, why do y-AAAK!
• I Need More Maple Syrup - because the best things in life are sweet
• Mortal Danger - this story molded my childhood. Or something.
• Olympus - guess :p
• Flag - ...I really don't know why I like this one.
• Questions and Answers - "How do you feel?" "Like a raccoon."
• Testing the Waters - because it really is a nice community after all.
• Surly Bonds of Earth - no real point to this one. Maybe take it off the list, eh. It's not terrible.
• What You Eat - Now that's what I call spicing up a boring day at the office.
• Who Hunts the Hunter? - Edge of my seat I tellya
• You get what you Wished for - kind of mean, but kind of funny
