Rainbows, eh?

This is fortunately nothing to do with Zephyr Breeze's... distinctive way of addressing Ms Dash. It's simply that in a (print, hence no link) magazine earlier I found a comment by someone, himself gay, who said he'd stopped trying to work out which letters to include in LGBTIQA+ (or the many variations thereof) and simply referred to people who feel at home under that umbrella as

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

You know how Kelly Sheridan had to pull out? Well, UK PonyCon has found a replacement. Who? Only Andrea Libman, that's who. Sorry, can't say any more, brain has turned to wibble.

My brain is only just avoiding turning to wibble myself, buddy. What a person to have as the con's first show cast/staff guest, eh? I'm so, so, so pumped now.

Doubtless all the Yanks reading this will wonder what the big deal is. Well, let me put it this way: we virtually never get show staff as guests over here, and even the big cons in Europe that have gotten some in the past (and very rarely one of the more-Brony British ones) usually only get up to the level of the CMCs VAs. Put another way: when Andrea walks out onstage for one of the panels, 95+% of the people she'll see will never have seen her before. Hope she's prepared for it to feel like a 2012-era panel!
