This story is set in BigFurs' "BFCC" setting, an informally-organized shared world about a community college where students and professors of all sizes – not to mention talents – come together and meet. A while ago I volunteered to have Arilin as a character also be a professor there; she's appeared in cameos, but this is a slice-of-life piece about her first day as a teacher.

We've all heard the admonition "be careful what you wish for," but when confronted with "artwork" that can be whatever the audience imagines her to be, the gulf between desire and expectation can be a most dangerous one. While I'm not sure there's enough sex or violence in here to warrant a warning, this is nonetheless intense. (N.B.: The inspiration for this story came from play with a 'toon' character, Missy Vixen, on Tapestries and FurryMUCK, although the vixen in this story is quite different from Missy.)

A young cat whose impatience has landed him as a clerk in a magical bookshop rather than as the wizard-in-training he'd wanted to be finds himself taking out frustrations on two imperious mice much smaller than he is – with unexpected results.

What if one day in the not-so-distant future, the world suddenly contained animals, doing normal animal things, who just happened to be a couple orders of magnitude larger? This piece flirts with magic realism and even a little social philosophy.

A conversation about Sarah still having her size-changing powers even as a four-legged wolf inspired Dogfire to write this story. The least "dangerous" of the Sarah stories to date, but very vivid imagery.

A vignette about Sarah and her problems with the phone company, featuring her friend Chipotle, a coyote who also happens to be the Giants' Club assistant manager. (She's in charge of the stuff for the "doll-sized" people.) Less cutely vicious than the first story and funnier. Still adult.

A try at a folk tale in the "Pied Piper" vein: a travelling trinket-seller visits a town plagued by a giant, and offers to solve their problem for them. A different feel from the other stories here, but fun, I think.
