    Reflections on a 2 year hiatus

    Hello folks! I woke up feeling nostalgic today, and decided to check FimFiction after quitting it cold turkey 2 years ago. It surprises me that the community still keeps going on strong, and it made me reflect on this long chapter of my life, which closed abruptly (and maybe rashly) 2 years ago. And honestly, I regret just dropping off the face of the earth, and never getting a real sense of

    Bronycon: A Tragicomedy in 5 acts — The Land

    Conventions of all kinds are interesting places to be, but there was something special in the air for this Bronycon. It could be due to the larger crowds than those in your typical Pony Con, or the reduced space which brought the attendees together, maybe even how much of other fandoms seem to seep into pony nowadays[1]. But mostly I am pinning that to the sense of finality given to the whole

    Bronycon: A Tragicomedy in 5 Acts — Introduction

    Lo! Behold the Bronycon 2019, most majestic of all Pony conventions, last of its kind and most crowded of its name. Witness as it fights for space with the Rubik’s Cube convention [1]. Be amazed at the crowds of people attending, and all the panels they didn’t get to attend. And don’t mourn for it being gone, but celebrate the fact it happened at all.

    Life updates, plus Bronycon!

    Man, it is shocking how long it has been since I posted anything in this account. My last post was in April 2016, and it is hard to believe that this much time has passed. It also makes a lot of sense, since May 2016 marked the beginning of 3 very interesting years in my life.

    Daring Do is totally George Lucas, guys!

    Chris posited on his blog an interesting bit of headcanon about Stranger Than Fanfiction: That the first three Daring Do books felt different because they were ghostwritten by someone that was brought on to smarten up the plot – who should be Twilight's Mom, in order to revive an old bit of

New PCaRG review is up! · 3:26am Feb 19th, 2016

Finally I finished this thing! It is exceedingly long, but then again, I don't think I ever had such conflicting opinions about the same story. Check it out here.

Paul AsaranThe Gentle Nights
Romantic Drama

That cover art sure is gorgeous.

The short version is this:

The Gentle Nights is a fantastic fic, with one of the best paced romances you can find on this site, great prose, and one of the best characterized Octavia's I could point out – on par with some of my favourites using the character, like Exit Through Canterlot or Octavia Takes the Bus. It isn't perfect, it has some weird issues, and it often makes me hate the characters in a way that I am sure was unintended, but I can't really fault a fic for making me feel so strongly about it.

The long version is that, plus almost 4k words.
