Stories By Rogue - The Big Boys
In which the giants are males of their species


Many of these stories appeared in
Tales of the Macrofurs, Volume 1: The Big Boys
Available in paperback or Kindle versions.


The following tales are told by Rogue and transcribed here for the benefit of the reader. They are not to be distributed or reposted to any other medium without Rogue's express permission. To do so would be to incur Rogue's anger, which constitutes "Risking a Catastrophe," which is a Federal offense.

For the benefit of our readers with sensitive dispositions (although we wonder why such people would be looking at Rogue's page in the first place), we have added alphabetical tags to each story to warn of any content that may cause distress:

  • V. Violence. Buildings are gonna get knocked down and people are gonna get killed.
  • G. Gore. There will be blood, in some cases a lot of it.
  • E. Eating, namely of people (it's a wolf writing these stories, after all).
  • N. Naughtiness. People will be involved in sexual situations, possibly unwillingly.

Rogue likes to get feedback on his stories, too. It makes him happy. We like to keep him happy. Please feel free to send any comments to rogue.megawolf-at-gmail.com and we will be certain he gets them.


Making a Monster.Rogue was approached by a fellow giant who asked him to help write that fellow's origin story. The megawolf doesn't usually take story commissions, but something about this one clicked, and he happily undertook it. It's what happens when a closet macrophile who spends his time cruising the internet for kaiju videos gets an opportunity to help make them.V-G-E-N

Dragon-8. The story of a boy and his bot...well, not really. More that of a battle-weary soldier piloting his war machine through a war-torn world, and the odd relationship between the natural and the artificial intelligences. They get to spend a lot of time together; there's no need to return to base for supplies since the mech is designed to produce everthing needed for both it and its pilot to function, and to use a variety of materials -- such as enemy troops -- as fuel. This story was written initially for a planned reboot of the Megamorphics APA that never came to fruition. V-E

Eminent Domain. One of the best macro-creators out there (as of this writing) is known as SixSydes We say "best" in that he not only has a terrific talent for creating some very eye-catching artwork of giant creatures, but he spends a good deal of time in creating backstories to accompany his work. Rarely does he produce an image without also dreaming up a tale to go along with it. Rogue was very eager to collaborate with him, having been greatly inspired by his art, and the result is this little narrative about days long past, when a representative of the trading company Guinard and Sons found himself faced with some very impolite squatters who had taken over some land belonging to his employer, and who then went to great lengths to try to evict them before said employer took matters into his own hands. Includes an illustration kindly provided by SixSydes himself! V

SNAFU. Every now and then Rogue happens across someone who fires his imagination. Such was the case with his friend Snafu (currently on FurAffinity as Snafukurikai, a vulpine soldier who is a bit more than your run-of-the-mill grunt. He's a groundpounder in every sense of the word. Rogue became fascinated with the origin of this fox-in-uniform and, when Snafu admitted he wasn't entirely sure of it himself (bit of amnesia, perhaps), Rogue decided to make one up for him. Now with illustrations by Snafu himself! V-G-N

September. Bullying is still a serious problem in Japanese schools, much moreso than in the West. Young Ichirou suffers terribly at the hands of his classmates. If you live in rural Japan, you really should not push around a shy, introverted classmate, because sometimes a boy who has no friends will find friendship in a place that you really do not want to know about. V-E-N

Unscheduled Stop. Buses and other public transit vehicles are being hijacked, or so is the theory to explain why they have been disappearing. The passengers of one particular bus find out the answer, much to their chagrin. This is a collaboration between Rogue, Mr. Happy, and Beherit, and was inspired by a bit of artwork that Mr. Happy did of the Deviltod tormenting some tiny people he'd caught. Warning: Deviltods are nasty creatures. V-E-G-N

Bàoyìng (Retribution). The ancient dragons Tien-Long and Qing-Long are constantly stealing one another's wine. Which is the guilty party this time, and what happens when humanity is caught in the middle? V

The Find. An archeological discovery proves that some old myths may actually be true...unfortunately. V-N

The Performer. Who exactly is the fox, and what price will his followers pay to see him in person? E

Fire, Ice and Sin. Young Brian's friends drag him off on a unique outing for his eighteenth birthday, where he finds quite a big surprise in store. N

Storm Chaser. A continuation of Storm Warning, in which a desperate driver vows to prove to himself that what he saw on a violently stormy night was real. V

Storm Warning. Rogue experiments with a slightly different literary style, possibly inspired by seeing too many Rod Serling stories. We experience a violent storm through the eyes of someone who probably was never meant to learn what lurks inside the clouds.

A Macrofur's Rules of Civility. Based upon the essay of the same title by George Washington, this is a list of do's and and don't's for giants to follow when in polite company. Somehow we think that Rogue did not come up with these.

Laws of the Pack. A day in the life of Duncan Roo, the only one in the world who can keep Rogue in line, although he has a devil of a time with that after a chance encounter with a mysterious voodoo-woman.V

Jailbird. An intergalactic fugitive crash-lands on an alien world where he finds himself in a unique position to do as he pleases with the miniscule natives. .V-E-G-N

The Keeper. Inspired by Jaeger. A hapless traveler discovers that something lurks in the remote woods high in the mountains, something huge, something ancient, something that does not at all like people encroaching on its territory.V-E-G-N

Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter. In a world of giants, life can be hard for those of small stature, particularly when some giants take an intense delight in creating carnage. A ghastly tale of woe from the world of Brobdingnag on our Doorstep V-E-G-N

Brobdingnag On Our Doorstep. The remnants of civilization try to survive in a world that has been defeated and colonized by giants, many of whom treat the little people they find in the most ghastly ways.V-E-G-N

Special Weapons And Tactics. A giant wolf carves a brutal path through the city, his rampage unstoppable...until he encounters S.W.A.T. Officer Bradley.V-E

Delusions of Grandeur. What would you do if you were granted the power to place a tiny town and all of its inhabitants at your mercy, with no witnesses? V-E-G-N

A Wanton God. An innocent park-goer catches the attention of a bizarre creature from afar who likes to toy with human beings, once he has made them small enough.V-E-G-N

The Great Alien Invasion Cover-Up. The government would have you believe that a giant lion never appeared on the Mall in Washington, DC. Never happened, they say.

God of War. Gideon created an incredibly haunting image of Hachiman, the God of War. It has been included as a frontispiece to the story that it inspired.

The Court-Martial of Captain Alastair Mackay (D.V.M.). Another companion piece to Die Donnerhuf (on the "Big Gals" page), this time in a more light-hearted vein. With the Axis powers creating gigantic creatures to use as weapons of war, the Australian government struggles to produce one of their own. Unfortunately, the project encounters quite a few unexpected hurdles.V (Illustrated by Gideon, with a guest appearance by a certain iconic megamacropod from Down Under.)

Project Okaeshi. A companion piece to Die Donnerhuf (on the "Big Gals" page). While Hitler's scientists work on their terror weapon, a reluctant General Kayama is placed in charge of creating a similar weapon for the Imperial Japanese Army. V-E

Tegu. An epic tale told in four chapters. An American biologist travels to South America hoping to make the discovery of a lifetime. That discovery is both earth-shattering and bigger than he ever imagined. V

Star Wars: Episode Two-and-a-Half. A Star Wars fan-fic once described as the silliest thing since Dan Quayle. Imagine Rogue in training to be a Jedi Knight...

Dubwana the Freshman. A college student is thrilled to learn that a new student is on the way, giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "big man on campus." (With illustration by Teaselbone.)

The Holocene Extinction. Did you ever wonder what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, or the great mastodons? Wonder no more, because it is about to happen again. . V-E-G-N

Blessed are the Meek. A sad story of a poor and abused member of a disenfranchised species who believes he has found a way to get back at the society which has scorned him. V

In Tribute. Have you read Havoc yet? If not, we strongly recommend that you do so before reading this sequel to the story of a marauding dragon brought to modern civilization. V-G-E-N (With illustration by Teaselbone.)

Havoc. A dragon is rudely interrupted during his mating flight and takes his frustrations out on the puny beings who ruined his date. V-G-E-N

Lessons to be Learned. Wurragurr's tribe suffers greatly from raids by the cruel Dingoes until Father Crow grants him the ability to turn the tables. V

Veni, Vorare, Vici. Wolfmech returns with some modifications and just as much in need of fuel, but he encounters much more than he anticipated when he sets his sights on a fresh, ripe city. V-E

The Ultimate Weaspon for Peace. Wolfmech, the war machine, appeared on FurryMuck one day and instantly captured Rogue's imagination with the single line, "It is designed to use enemy troops for fuel." V-G-E

Afternoon at Number Twenty-One. A helpless man is attacked by a massive beast and held prisoner in his home. More shocking than what he must endure is who sent the demon to torment him. Written for Rangarig Rex N (With illustrations by Josef Jones).

Behind the Scenes. A Dragonheart fan-fic. Actors, including Draco, relax between takes. This story is properly PG, but there's a naughty version here for those who like the N tag.
