Fanfiction Reading Update #150 · 10:12am Mar 18th, 2014
Guess who just became an administrator for Fimfiction's 193rd largest group? Come and join Tyrant Sparkle and witness ymom2's unfortunate and tragic death and my rise to glorious power. I'm gonna have to start working on that Ascend-esque evil!Twilight comedy fic, aren't I (and then write a sequel to it I'll never update)?
D=S-M updates with a flashback/dream of the assassination, coupled with the revelation of a government coverup. There's also the daily reminder that Twilestia is suffering and almost any fanfic with it in it will end badly for one of the two. All the more reason to convert over to Twiluna.
Miss Sparkle, Psychopath updates and with each passing chapter the likelihood of the title being correct diminishes more and more, and the likelihood of a full grimdark ending rises. Probability of [Grimdark] ending: 65%.
A Device for Divine updates with the threat of Tyrantlestia overwhelmed by an increasingly cliché plot. Abandoned town, isolated location, difficult to reach, Spike not present due to handwaving—it's got all the horror cliches short of an eldrich abomination, and an urban legend seems to be ready to fill that niche very quickly. Probability of [Grimdark] ending: 15%.
A Goddess' Sorrow updates for the first time in eight months with a little atoner!Luna intermixed with the angsty drama of the main plot.
The time for Possible Favorites is soon at hand.
The One Pony You Never Prank is favorited for being a nice, lighthearted Dash comedy. Hopefully it won't have a “comically” overly serious punishment, as that would violate my fanfic justice system policy and cause a significant jamming of my jimmies.
Under the Sun's Wings gets cut after a chapter and a half due to the sudden and unnecessary use of r63 which was too jarring for my tastes.
Despite a pretty slow start, Lunar Rebirth is favoeited for the juicy political plot that it could hold along with its AU setting. Let's hope it doesn't disappoint.
And that's all I read for the day.
# of story updates remaining: 126.
# of “Read Later” stories remaining: 845.
Remember when TSG had 0 story updates to read? Pepperidge farm remembers.
Silly, being Twilestia is suffering and it is glorious. Also, most of them have a happy ending.
Oh, also, remember Rogues Anonymous? The author is still saying unpleasant things about his critics after all these months.
So who's Kyuubey, then? I'm going to say Spike until further notice.
1935423 Wow, I went back and read the comments since I posted. It grew to quite the circus.
1935474 I'm Kyubey. Don't you read any of the group posts?
1936057 Yeah, turns out he's a royal cunt. Who'd have thought it?
1936753 I'm glad I didn't realize he was also the author of Celestia and Luna's Completely Average Day since that meant I read RA untainted. I think I'll avoid any more though.
hi i just read all 150 of your fanfic blogs and i have one question
where do you get those amazing images? the gifs especially
1939785
Almost all of the pics and gifs come from the KYM Pony Image Gallery. The remainder, like the one for this blog post, come from google searching (in this case "tyrant sparkle").
You read all 150?! I'm so, so sorry.
I can provide a specific sauce (if one exists) for any that you wish.

Nah, I saved the few that rubbed me the particularly right way. :D
And don't feel bad. Okay, feel bad that you pushed my to-read over 3000. But you did help me get rid of a few for one reason or another and replace them with things I'm much more likely to read! :B
