Pol Roger's Becoming Anya

I have a rule where I don't post the same ethnicity twice in a row, so Asian TFs will probably be staggered, at least for the first little while. Anyway, this is the first European TF I've posted on here. The character is white to start out with, so I don't consider it to be a racial change, but it does include a fairly prominent cultural change from American to Russian.

Saintly's Shift Shift Revolution

In terms of prose, I find Saintly to be one of the best TG authors there is, and his short story Shift Shift Revolution is evidence of that. Shift Shift Revolution is part of a sequence of stories called Genesis Club, but so far there are only two stories up in this universe. The other doesn't contain ethnic changes, but feel free to check it out anyway. You won't be disappointed.

Also, TR/CC TG stories are difficult to find, so if you know of any that I don't yet have posted here, I would be very happy to hear them.

Maggie Finson's Veiled Truths

The Middle Eastern ethnicity is something that is very rarely seen in this type of media, which is a shame considering the incredibly rich cultural and sartorial aspects of the Muslim world, so that's why Maggie Finson's Veiled Truths, set in Ellie Dauber's House of Mystic Mirrors universe, is such a gem.

I'd also like to use this opportunity to ask that if anyone has any suggestions of stories I should post here, or if any creative minds are inspired to write a story themselves, I will not fail to post it on this blog (as long as it fits the criteria).

Filthy Mind's Back to School

I'd like to kick this blog off with what is probably my favorite TG story every written: Back to School, by the incredibly talented Filthy Mind. It's short (-ish) but sweet, has a powerful perspective and method of writing, and involves an East Asian transformation, which is probably the most popular, so I figured it the ideal story to start with.
