I spend way too much time writing about writing, and way too little time actually writing.

    For the redditors among you: (Re)introducing /r/CircleClop

    Every self-respecting subreddit needs a circlejerk spinoff, and /r/mylittlepony is no exception. Since the various MLP circlejerk subreddits were all dead as a doornail, I decided to try and revive the one with the best name: /r/CircleClop.

    A Very American Season Première

    The long-awaited Season 5 première was very interesting for a number of reasons. One of those reasons was that it clearly showed just how deeply My Little Pony is rooted in American values.

Rambler's Reviews! · 10:32pm Oct 18th, 2013

These are the pony fiction reviews I've done so far, sorted from oldest to newest. Any reviews I've done on official WRITE business, or as part of the Authors Helping Authors system, are tagged as such. The rest were just for my own twisted amusement.

- Flim and Flam Save an Orphanage [Comedy][Crossover][Adventure] by KFDirector. Strongly positive.

- Beasts and Burdens [Adventure] by Metool Bard. Negative.

- A Song of Storms: Of Skies Long Forgotten [Tragedy][Dark][Adventure] by The 24th Pegasus. Strongly negative.

- The Life and Times of a Winning Pony [Romance][Comedy][Slice of Life] by Chengar Qordath. Ambivalent. My opinion of this story changed over time; after it finished, I collected my thoughts about it in a decidedly negative blog post.

- Just a Friendly Game [Comedy][Random][Slice of Life] by veryoriginalponyname. Mildly negative. (Authors Helping Authors)

- Days of Ruin [Dark][Adventure][Alternate Universe] by Silverstein. Ambivalent. (Authors Helping Authors) The story has been heavily rewritten since, so most of the review probably doesn't apply anymore.

- Hey Diddle Diddle, a Visit from Fiddle [Comedy][Slice of Life] by Metool Bard. Negative.

- Celestia in Excelsis [Romance][Sad][Dark][Adventure] by Kolwynia. Strongly positive. (Authors Helping Authors)

- From Scratch [Romance] by Kaldanor. Negative. (WRITE)

- Flames Within These Feathers [Adventure] by Starshine Dart. Strongly negative. (WRITE)

- What Happened to the Orange Frog? [Comedy][Random] by LordSmokedMeatsandFishes. Ambivalent. (WRITE)

- A Better Equestria [Adventure][Alternate Universe] by naru0C. Mildly positive. (Authors Helping Authors)

- Sombra's Return [Dark][Adventure][Alternate Universe] by Brawny Steed. Strongly negative. (Review trade)

- Of Apples and Roses and Thick Purple Proses [Romance][Comedy] by RavensDagger. Strongly negative. Warning: extremely vitriolic and mean-spirited.

- Perihelion [Random][Slice of Life] by Garnot. Negative. (WRITE)

- A Game of Chess [Adventure][Alternate Universe][Dark] by ZaleAcon. Mildly negative. (WRITE)

- Adjacency [Adventure] by Frission. Mildly negative. (WRITE)

- When Hearts Take Flight [Adventure][Comedy][Romance] by cemfin. Strongly negative. (WRITE)

- Austraeoh [Adventure][Alternate Universe][Random] by Imploding Colon (alt account of shortskirtsandexplosions). Strongly negative.

- How to Remove a Unicorn Tooth [Slice of Life] by Skywriter. Strongly positive.

- Filial [Adventure][Comedy][Slice of Life] by Dafaddah. Strongly negative. (WRITE)

- Revelations, Book 1: A Night to Remember [Dark][Slice of Life] by VGI. Strongly negative. (WRITE)

A Simple Stalk of Grass [Slice of Life] by Galrion. Positive. (WRITE)

If you want me to review a story of yours, message me and I'll see if I can find the time. Provided it's up on Fimfiction, that is, and doesn't have any of the following things:

– Clop
– Human/Anthro
– Shipping between two (or more) members of the Mane Six, and/or with one of the Princesses
– Grimderp

As for crossovers, I can obviously only review them if I'm actually familiar with the thing you're crossing over with, but you can always ask.
