Hi and welcome to Lloyd's Favorites page! The stories I've placed here are ones that I personally enjoy. I'll try and add some form of categorization if this grows enough, but for now a simple list will have to do. This page is going to be looking really messed up for a little while as I try and make it nice and pretty and categorized; I'm basically copying/pasting commands from other people's pages though so chances are it'll take a while for me to figure out how to order everything.{{favorites list}}

Hi and welcome to Lloyd's Favorites page! The stories I've placed here are ones that I personally enjoy. I've recently copied (literally) Bryan's list format and I'll be fiddling with it for the next little while so my apologies in advance if you find this page completely screwed up.

</td>

<td style="padding-left:5px;">Anthro dog TF, but the story focuses more on the psychology involved as a woman is slowly turned into a loyal servant by her captor.

<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Author: Slyford

<td style="padding-left:5px;">One of Slyford's better stories on this site in my opinon. It also makes me think of To Kill a Mockingbird for some reason.</td> <td align="center"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>The Day the Universe Changed</th>

<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Author: Virmir

<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Author: Eirik
</td>

<td style="padding-left:5px;">Perhaps the most absurd plot I have ever encountered and one of the most amusing stories I have read on Shifti. Looks like Ford was right, albeit a little delayed.</td> <td align="center"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>Best Friends</th>

<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Author: Eirik

<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Author: Michael Bard
</td>

<td style="padding-left:5px;">I have a feeling this refers to Slyford T. Rabbit but I'm not sure. In either case, this story isn't so much 'creepy' as 'darkly ominous' if that makes any sense.</td> <td align="center">In the modern magic genre</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>Sly's Big Movie</th>

<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Author: JT Fox
</td>

<td style="padding-left:5px;">An attendee at Xanadu is turned itno a cartoon fox. Interesting depiction of how writing a Warner Bros. cartoon would work.

<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Author: JT Fox

</td>

<td style="padding-left:5px;">Part of the Xanadu universe and a weird type of TF in which a man in a fursuit turns into a man in a fursuit.

<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Author: Phil Geusz
</td>

<td style="padding-left:5px;">For some reason this story keeps getting categorized under the Blind Pig setting. In either case it is a very good story that I heartily endorse.</td> <td align="center"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>Eternal Glory</th>

<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Author: Slyford
</td>

<td style="padding-left:5px;">A horror story involving Care Bears, what else can I say?</td> <td align="center"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>Convoluted Quality</th>

<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Author: Lloyd

<td style="padding-left:5px;">This is a collection of the worst opening lines to the worst possible TF story. I may have started this but it will soon go beyond me.</td> <td align="center">In the comedy genre</td> </tr>
