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.

Trompe L'oeil
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.)

Easter Eggs
This is a story I'd started working on months ago, stopped, then finally kicked myself into finishing recently. Just after I'd started it, I was pointed at a story by Naman which is also a "virtual reality" story, but this is different enough that I don't think anyone's going to assume one piece has inspired the other. Highly fluffy but fun. The violence, such as it is, is highly cartoonish – the piece might earn an R rating for language, though!

Detente
Lately there's been a "small giantess" coming into the Giants' Club, a pleasantly imposing impala woman who has an interesting background---not your traditional rampaging giant warrior, but a diplomat. I thought it'd be fun to tell her story, or at least one of them. (This is a gentle, almost reserved story – I think it has nice imagery and a nice "feel," but don't expect sex and violence.)

In for a Penny
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.

The Last Aspect
A science fiction story about artificial intelligence, religious intolerance and, well, a giant robot vixen. No, really. Honestly, I think it's one of the best stories here.

Toy Soldiers
Two human soldiers pursuing a terrorist group through a "jump gate" find themselves waylaid by teen catgirls. Written all the way back in January 1995, now cleaned up and polished a little. Sillier than most of what I've written since, but sweet (in an odd way).

Metamorphosis Day
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.

Seeing the Angel
In a lot of giant stories, a normal person finds themselves suddenly giant – and goes on a rampage. Why would someone do that? What would happen afterward? The horror in this piece is psychological, not visceral, so while it doesn't get the sex or violence warning, it may be just as disturbing.

Sarah's Dog Day (by Dogfire)
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.

Customer Service
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.

Bargaining with Kali
A dark future hard sf novelette, a political thriller and, oh yes, a story with a giant ringtail girl. I've joked that it started out as Attack of the Fifty-Foot Woman and somehow became Blade Runner along the way, but in seriousness, this is one I'm particularly proud of.

Trinkets
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.
Cheating at Solitaire
A story about me, before I came to FurryMUCK – I was younger then, and far less socialized, to be polite. Someone described this story as being what a "Tom and Jerry" cartoon would be if it were directed by Paul Verhoeven.
