Hi and welcome to Lloyd's Favorites page! The stories I've placed here are ones that I personally enjoy and I hope you do too!
You may notice that most of the stories here have the 'short' tag on them; this has to do with my attention span as I tend to be extremely critical of longer pieces. Also, unless I am positive that a story falls into a specific category, it won't have an icon; for example, simply having an unexplained transformation won't earn a label.

<th>A Trickster's Tail</th>
<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Phaedrus</td>
<td style="padding-left:5px;">Technically part of the defunct No More Fakes universe, this story spins off onto its own and is a wonderful tail about a man who ends up sharing his body with a Native American trickster spirit. Although labled adult, there is only one real adult scene in this piece and it's done quite tastefully.</td>

<th>True Reflection</th>
<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by 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 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>

<th>Wolf in the House:</th>

<th>Reality Bites</th>
<td style="white-space:nowrap; font-size:smaller;">by Eirik</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 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. Part tragic, part creepy, there's probably some form of moral here but I haven't got a clue what it is.</td>
