Short Stories

These are short stories I've written over time. This page is broken into five sections:

Author, Author

The "Author, Author" series is a bunch of writings written from the viewpoint of "The Author", which is yours truly. It contains my views on being a Furry Author. Sometimes get kind of depressing, sometimes humourous, probably often boring, but always honest, this is how I think it's like to be an author.

Since this is more of a diary than anything else, don't expect any sort of continuity. I will bitch when I'm depressed, ramble when I'm pensive, and say whatever I am feeling at the time.

Author, Author 1

Rating: Web G

This is the first story in a planned series of tales, sort of starring me as The Author. It's not entirely fiction, more like a diary of my life as an author.

Author, Author 2

Rating: Web G

Some more rambling from me as The Author. Includes some teasing of someone I admire that I call His Felinity, aka Mr. Gene Catlow. Who has reason to think that I am evil.

Original Stories

Much of what I have written is for my own enjoyment. Some of these I consider depressingly poor and therefore in need of rewrites. But in any case, here are all my original short stories.

Beef In A Bottle

Rating: Web 14

This is a story of a rarity in musclefur fiction: Steroid use. This was recieved very well in the musclefur groups I am a part of. Please. If you know of anyone who is using steroids, or is gonna use steroids, get them help. Even if they don't want it, or don't thank you later, they need help.

The Comfortor

Rating: Web MA

This is, by far, my darkest story ever. The Comforter is NOT for the faint of heart. It actually forced the creation of a new forum for adult stories, and got me a well-earned lecture from a mod on a Yahoo group. This story is about suicide. If you know anyone even considering suicide, get them help.

Darkest Night

Rating: Web 14

I love twists and turns in stories, I love giving the readers a surprise. On top of that, my sense of humor is somewhat macabre. So here is "Darkest Night", a story I wrote for Hallowe'en. Enjoy.

John-David meets Jack Daniels

Rating: Web PG

Gawd, I love this one! The Wrasslin' Lynx comes to IRL land, and meets his creator. Kind of a silly story, but the opportunity to be silly is one of the benefits of writing!

The Land Schooner

Rating: Web G

This is one of my oldest works, written when I was but 18. I always wanted to make a series of stories in this universe; perhaps one day I will.

The Old That Is Strong

Rating: Web PG

A short piece that was my first shot at writing Furry Muscle, I am happy at the way this turned out. An old musclefur finds a new fan where it truly counts...

Wolf Hunt

Rating: Web 14

A short story about a guy who hunts a wolf. I'm not against hunting animals, but I am against the idea of hunting animals for the sake of "sport."

Fan Fiction

I enjoy writing stories for others, and touching on their own works. Of course, my largest fanfic is The Basalt City Chronicles, which is over in my Novels section.

A Date With Trevor

Rating: Web 14

This goofy story was written for Shane Nelson, creator of the webcomic "Shayla the Pink Mouse." I couldn't resist throwing his character Trevor into a ridiculous position.

Trevor, Katrina, and Shayla are © Shane. Wildwind Dandinson, Wildflower Dandinson, and Dreysanius von Acrutar are © me.

Written For Shane Nelson

Josef

Rating: Web PG

I thought the idea of a disabled musclefur was one that begged to be brought to light. No offence to anyone meant, but disabled furs are a very rare subject. The only artist I've seen draw one is Albert Temple (His character, Ernie, cannot walk). Disabled musclefurs are, as far as I have seen, nonexistant. So, I was wondering, why not a musclefur in a wheelchair? This story is the result. Enjoy.

All characters contained within are © Braford, with the exception of Josef, who is © me.

Written For Braford

Meeting Erin Topping

Rating: Web PG

This story was inspired by Erin Topping's website "WTF" which is no longer online. She thought it was quite good. :) Unfortunately, I don't have a site for her. :'(

Rainy Day Exercises

Rating: Web PG

This tale also appears on Gene Catlow's site, which shows you how much he liked it. When I wrote the story, I didn't know Dodo Modo (who appears in it) was © someone else, so that character is used without permission, I'm afraid.

Written For Gene Catlow

Responses to Artwork

This is a special subset of fan fiction, where the story is based on a specific piece or set of artwork. In each case, the piece of artwork is either linked to in the description, or shown in the story.

The Devil Drives Grenada

Rating: Web PG

This story was in response to an art exchange that was taking place on FurAffinity. The order of pictures is thus:

And that's where my story took off, with Jack about to get Gene Catlow drunk. The stories took a different direction, of course, but Gene and CatsWhisker found this an amusing possibility. The actual storyline continued as follows:

And, yes, this is a deliberate pun on "The Devil Wears Prada." "Grenada" is a Ford car that I really did purchase for $1.00.

Written For Gene Catlow

Overdue

Rating: Web G

This was written in response to a comic series drawn by Gene Catlow. The comic is as follows:

Rating: Web PG

Jesoran Tarnysk, father of Barinsk "Bustfang" Tarnysk from the Donnkharus Chronicles, seeks out a new recruit, to continue the ancient tradition of tournament fighting.

Missions of the WindSchreiener Family

Years ago, I belonged to several clubs which were grouped into the Redwall Online Community, or ROC for short. One way to gain rank in these clubs was to write missions—you would choose an objective from a list, and write a short story about how you completed that objective.

The stories featured here are the only extant missions from these clubs that I know of that I wrote. Five are written for a club called MoonShadow Island, 1 for Sampetra: Imperial Army Serving Ublaz.

They all feature a family of evil vampiric wolves known as the WindSchreiener family.

The stories are presented here in chronological order. If there seems to be great holes in continuity, recall that these were written for roleplaying clubs; much that went on between the stories is now permanently lost, but these stories DID make sense to their original audiences.

King Nightskar , Xean, and Emperor Ublaz are © their players. Emperor Ublaz is based on the character from the book Pearls of Lutra by Brian Jacques.

So read them and enjoy what are among the oldest examples of my writing available online. I have edited them but little, allowing you to see what my writing was really like when I first began writing in earnest.

Stories of the Furry Basketball Association

These are stories written for Buck Hopper's creation The Furry Basketball Association (FBA).

50¢ Beer Night

Rating: Web PG

This is a different style for me. Think of it as being written for a book called The FBA Hall of Shame. It's the story of the wildest brawl ever in the FBA.
