    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

I seem to be back · 5:44pm Jul 19th, 2019

It's fair to say I've not kept up well at all with Fimfiction for a few months. Much of this has been to do with Real Life -- nothing really terrible, just a lot of things that required attention. I managed to keep the Flashfic 150 contests going, but they only need me to check in a few times a month. I'm acutely conscious that in slipping away for a bit, I've failed to keep up with a few people's PMs. They know who they are, I'm sure. I will try to get back to those, though I can't promise to do so instantly.

What I really needed was a catalyst to get back writing again. With that in mind, I'd like to think Super Trampoline for setting up the Fimfiction Feghoot Festival -- which, had I been active here recently, I'm sure I would have mentioned before its last few hours! Its rules allow three entries per person (within a total word count) and I've maxed out with two standalones and one shortfic. I'll talk about the specifics of my stories at a later date, after the contest has been judged. (This will be in the next few weeks, I believe.)

At any rate, I'm back. And I really, really don't intend it to be another three months before my next update!

Welcome back! (Note: I've been writing ponyfic for about seven years now. It's such a habit that if I *stop* for a day or two, the pressure builds up and I have to pencil and paper my ideas down before my head explodes :)

Thanks! As it happens, writing at least a little ponyfic every day is what I intend to do from now on. Even if it's just 100 words of nonsense that nobody but me ever sees. Apart from anything else, after so long away I need the practice!
