For those who are/were familiar with Lloyd Brunnel, this is him. When I first created my shifti account I was still new to the furry scene and therfore used my generic online name. Now that I've developed a fursona though, I've decided that its time to re-organize all of my furry/transformation writings under his name.

About Me

I'm in second year university, living on residence. I like sleeping in, warm blankets, and stories that leave you feeling nice and fuzzy at the end. I've recently gotten into reading Agatha Christie's works, and heartily reccomend The Murder of Roger Ackroyd to anyone who has no read it. I'm Canadian, and proud of it, and I love maple fudge in all its tasty, tasty forms. In my spare time, I like to play World of Warcraft or hang out at the Crimson Flag chatroom and forum. Once a week I go out to a card store and play Yugioh or the Warcraft Trading Card Game, and I think I'm fairly good at both. My current goal is to get a job and earn enough money to buy a new laptop, since my current one is sad and gets beat up by morning breezes.

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

Notes On My Writing

I recycle names in most of my stories, so don't be suprised to find the same ones poping up as I add more stuff to Shifti. I also procrastinate alot when writing and have trouble committing to a single story idea, which dramatically inflates the time it takes me to write. Oh, and I tend to mention food more often than would be normal since I usually write while hungry for some reason.

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. My thanks to Cubist both for editing, and for publishing it on his anthrozine site.

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.

The Fool in the Fox: My first foray into the Pig and Whistle setting introduces Jonas, a fox about to make a very entertaining delivery.

The Strength in the Shark: This is a follow-up to Zach's Within and Without story (see below). I mainly use this to create a friendship between our two characters and to explore a bit on some of the beliefs people might have regarding fullmorphs.

The Tower in the Torch: As much as I'd hate to admit it, I don't know as much about Jonas as I'd like to admit since most of my ideas about his personality and behaviour come from what I think he went through upon contracting TFOR. Since I need to finalize him, I've begun writing Jonas's "origin" story. This is going to be the longest story I've written to date, so don't expect a finished product anytime soon.

Case Briefing: Leon v. Stewart: The main problem with handling teefers came from how to define them in a legal system designed for humans. This case and the subsequent ruling provided the landmark precedent that shaped the NAR's courts.

Interview in the Fields: Since I lack the stamina to write a full story about the Leon/Stewart lawsuit, I'm going to cheat and instead write about Leon being interviewed about the case twenty years later.

PAW Musings: Not so much a story as a general list/rant of my various thoughts or questions about the Pig and Whistle setting. Respond to them if you want but this mainly exists so I can get the questions off my chest.

Stuff by Others

I did not write anything in this section. In here are stories written by others that I have recieved permission to repost here. Enjoy!

Mind Over Matter: Arto "FoxOfWar" Mässeli wrote this as part of the Xmas Xchange a while back. He thinks it's good, but his brain seems to disagree. The title is not the one used in the original story, because I can't find out what the original title was.

Within and Without: My friend Zach Fox has written this PAW story featuring the setting's first shark morph. I think it's good, but I helped edit it so I'm obviously biased. Read it!

Comissions

I like money, and I like other people thinking of things for me to write about. If you're interested in comissioning a story from me, please send me an email at jonasbelford@live.ca. I operate on a pay-what-you-like format, but payment is required before I begin writing.

Random Thought

Wheee!
