    The never-ending stor(e)y

    For some reason this is one of the points readers of mine (including off-site ones) have mentioned several times, perhaps because it's one of those Transatlantic divides that isn't all that well known. So: when you're talking about the floors of a building:

    US English: one story, two stories. The same spelling and the same plural as for the other kind of story.

    Fics I reviewed in April 2024 (and one from late March)

    By popular request¹ I'm bringing back this feature. My weekly Ponyfic Roundup reviews are, and will remain, on my off-site blog. It just suits me to do it that way, even if I'd probably have got significantly more of a readership had I written the blogs on Fimfiction as most (all?) other current reviewers do. However, a

    State of the Unicorn: Poor

    That's poor in both senses, I'm afraid! Though before I say any more, I need to stress that I have a warm, safe home, enough to eat, internet access... the essentials, really. I am not in danger of losing those. However, I won't be doing much beyond those essentials for a while. Without going into boring details, I will very shortly be going in for dental work to be done. Which, as

    So then, Doctor Who

    Loved it! A few little quibbles, not all the acting from the newcomers was stellar and sadly parts of the gender-related stuff felt awkward and forced, eg "something a male-presenting Time Lord wouldn't understand", but I liked much more than I didn't. Plus one of my worries about the new Disney-cash-infused Who has been dispelled: this definitely did

So far so good · 1:19am May 13th, 2012

Right; The 20 Percent Solution is up on the site, so I am now officially a FiM fanfic author. I did wonder whether anyone would actually read it, given my complete lack of fame in this community, but I've been pleasantly surprised: 65 views, eight faves and half a dozen comments (not including my responses) is actually slightly better than I'd expected. I entirely agree with one of the commenters that I need to work on my descriptive prose a bit: it's not that what I write of it is bad; it's that there isn't enough of it. I have a story forming in my head that would need plenty of description, but it'll be a long time before I know whether I can indeed write it.

Other than learning how to navigate the site, the only real annoyance I've found so far has been the necessity to re-add italics and suchlike manually after uploading. Come on, guys, even FanFiction.Net can preserve basic formatting like that!
