    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

S7E21: "Marks and Recreation" · 8:12pm Oct 1st, 2017

A bit of a mess, really, though often an enjoyable mess. One particular oddity regarding vocabulary and a few missed opportunities, but a fun song and some decent silliness. I don't ask for literary brilliance from the show, so this scraped a pass from me. ★★★ (just)

Yeah, I found it pretty enjoyable in the long run. I seriously hate Thunderlane’s voice in it, though.

yea I found Thunderlanes voice as grating as my own voice.

Even though the episode was a mess (a hot mess?) I think it had very solid heart, however badly executed, (and it makes it like Fame and Misfortune).
It laos reminded me heavily of Big Horseshoes by @bad_seed_72 (it's a fic from 2013 )

A good lesson... for kids. So, a bit of a bore for me. Also, wasn't "blank-flank" a pejorative term before this?

The "blank flank" thing was the oddity I was referring to, yes. It did seem a bit strange.
