Ponyfic Roundup reviews summary, #11 to #20

Previous: 1-10

Here I go again with another summary of the Ponyfic Roundup posts on Louder Yay, this time from May-August 2014. The same format applies, including linking authors rather than story titles for M-rated fics -- not that there are any in this batch in any case! Again, I'm converting my old ratings to the current star system. Also, remember that a three-star fic is above average in my book, since I find having finer gradations more useful for stories I enjoyed than for stories I didn't. Details past the break! (And yes, all the fics in the first one really do get three stars!)

Also, remember that a three-star fic is above average in my book, since I find having finer gradations more useful for stories I enjoyed than for stories I didn't.

You ever got into trouble thanks to that? I decided to do something similar for that exact same reason, and more than once I got some pretty angry comments due to that.

4309822 Perhaps surprisingly, no -- although that's partly because not many people know I exist! It'll be interesting to see what happens when these summaries get to the later instalments after I'd become tougher with my ratings. It'll probably happen at some point, but I can deal with that. This is one reason I think reviewers should have some published work of their own -- to prove we can take it as well as dish it out. (My favourite bad review remains this one, on Ever Let the Fancy Roam.)
