Two Years Ago... Part 6 · 11:25pm Mar 8th, 2016
I have a fever. I'm doing more squats than a gluteus maximus enthusiast. I'm squeakier than this guy:
Perfect time to write another blog post!

To be honest, I don't remember much about this one. I remember it being a bit fun, but not much else. That's... not good for a story review/recommendation, is it?
There's a fight scene in a casino with a gryphon, I remember that.
Verdict - If you've read the other winningverse stories, this might catch your interest.

The first sad story I read. (As in it's focusing on being sad, not a long story with sad moments)
Now that I think back on it, this story may have been quite a bit manipulative in being a tear-jerker. The world just shits on this character and there is nothing uplifting about this story. That isn't to say the story could be salvaged, but after a year with no updates (and a year between the chapter updates) I don't think this story is going to be touched up or continued anytime soon.
Still, a pony with only two legs struggling to make it in life? I would eat that up. And I'm not the only one! Look at all those upvotes and views.
Verdict: Not recommended.
When Ditzy Doo loses her job at Cloudsdale Mail and Freight, she gets a job at another shipping company... only to find out their definition of shipping has nothing to do with delivering packages! Desperate for income to support herself and Dinky, will Ditzy be able to make it as a pony matchmaker?
(Occurs between Seasons 2 and 3 of the show.)
Now this story was a lot of fun. It was also the story that taught me what "shipping" meant in fan-speak.
This is a great setup for a joke and I really enjoyed the twists and turns this story had. Just imagine Derpy trying to get you hooked up. If that makes you smile (or squee) then you'll enjoy this story.
Verdict: If you're a Derpy fan, I highly recommend it.
I'd write more, but I feel my insides squirming about like worms.
