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.

<tr> <th colspan="5" style="background:#ddd; font-size:125%; text-align:left; padding:2px;">Anthro</th> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>True Reflection</th> <td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Author: Martin Divo
</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. Think furry Stockholme Syndrome but creepier.</td> <td align="center">In the modern magic genre</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>Silver Fox Tracks</th>

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

<td style="padding-left:5px;">Part of the Paradise saga. While I don't pay much attention to the series I do enjoy this particular story for the ending.</td> <td align="center">In the modern magic genre</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>Drift Away</th>

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

<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: Bryan
</td>

<td style="padding-left:5px;">The second story in the Winds of Change universe in which the fateful day is told from the perspective of three different people.</td> <td align="center">In the science fiction genre</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>Gonna Rain Tomorra</th>

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

<td style="padding-left:5px;">Another WoC story. It's hard to suprise old people.</td> <td align="center">In the science fiction genre</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>Wolf in the House:</th>

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

<td style="padding-left:5px;">A reporter confronts a senator about some unusual activities. Amusing and a bit tongue in cheek near the end.</td> <td align="center"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>Where's the Beef?</th>

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

<td style="padding-left:5px;">A Spells 'R Us story that goes against the conventional SRU ending.</td> <td align="center">In the comedy genre</td> </tr> }

<tr> <th colspan="5" style="background:#ddd; font-size:125%; text-align:left; padding:2px;">Animal</th> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>Slips of Paper</th> <td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Author: Virmir
</td>

<td style="padding-left:5px;">A fox TF told through a series of inner dialogues; no real plot to speak of but I find it refreshing.</td> <td align="center"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>Reality Bites</th>

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

<td style="padding-left:5px;">A look at the complexities involved in human to animal transformation. This is either ironic or depressing depending on how hopeful you are that TF technology becomes practical in our lifetime</td> <td align="center">In the science fiction genre</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <th>Passing Fad</th>

<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>

<td style="padding-left:5px;">Part of the Visionary saga. Short, sweet, and a happy ending.</td> <td align="center">In the modern magic genre</td> </tr>

Somebody's Watching: Technically a toon TF but it's almost irrelevant as far as a transformation story goes. Not so much 'creepy' as 'darkly ominous' if that makes any sense.

Sly's Big Movie: Another toon TF, this one turns a Xanadu attendee into a toon fox. Interesting depiction of how writing a Warner Bros. cartoon as a story would work. Can be difficult to follow if you have trouble with visualization.

The Sly Fox Show - Tune In and Toon Out: Third story in the Sly Fox series from Xanadu. Shame no more are being written, it's a very good concept to work with.

Abysses: A recent addition to Shifti and a very good if short tale that will screw with creationists =D

Losing Himself: 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. Part tragic, part creepy, there's probably some form of moral here but I haven't got a clue what it is.



Anubis: 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.


Little Boy Lost: A fox TF with a nice slice-of-life feel to it.

Convoluted Quality: This is sort of a pre-emptive addition to my favorite list since the number of sentences is at 4 as of 6PM, February 17th. Either way once this grows it'll definitely be a favorite!

Eternal Glory: A horror story involving Care Bears, what else can I say?
