I was going to devote this post to stories about Dragon Lord Torch, in honor of me writing a story about him, as well as an excuse to populate my new group with stories about him.

I then learned that there are four stories on FIMFiction which appear to be about Dragon Lord Torch, or at least feature him heavily.

Happy Saturday, everyone!

If you haven’t heard, Obselescence is stepping down as a FIMFiction moderator, so feel free to go over there and thank him for his time spent here.

Then, perhaps, do some reading?

It is amazing how long a couple weeks can feel like.

At the time of writing, less than a week ago I was at Everfree Northwest.

It feels like it was forever ago already.

I was feeling like I haven’t recommended a story in a long time… but the last story I read that got added to my Recommended list was read on May 11th, only 11 days before I wrote this introduction (which I then took four days to post).

I always feel a little bit guilty doing non-writeoff reviews during the writeoffs, but given how frequently the writeoffs happen these days, if I didn’t, I’d hardly do any at all.

So, it turns out that Sunday was a really good day for new stories. I read five new stories, and I liked them all.

How did this happen?

How is this even possible?

Who knows.

But I’m liking it.

A lot of people I follow came out with new stories yesterday, and in the spirit of not procrastinating, I actually read them.

Sorry about the dearth of posts recently. I told myself that I’d get one of my stories done before I did some other pony stuff, and it turns out I’m really, really good at procrastinating.

On the upside, it did finally force me to actually get my story done! I’ve been sitting on it for far too long – in fact, I started on it before the Season 6 premier, and then managed to procrastinate on it for half a year.

But now it is done, and I am pretty happy with the result.

Writers have been busy little bees, so it is time for me to be a big busybody.

This about sums up how I’ve been feeling these last few days:

Fun fact of the day: everyone knows that the Japanese infamously produce very few children, presently sitting at a rate of about 1.4 births per woman (replacement rate is 2.1 per woman). But did you know that the US would have an even lower reproductive rate if we had a similar proportion of children born out of wedlock? Presently, the birth rate within marriages in the US is 1.13, with all the rest of the births (bringing us up to 1.88 per woman) occurring out of wedlock. Only 2% of Japanese

After finishing writing Mistletrapped, I sat down and read a bunch of recent stories I’d missed reading.

Procrastination on writing creates a surprising amount of motivation to review stories.

Those Who Live Forever is a very obscure story that was recommended to me by Cerulean Voice.

Trying to get back on the horse that is writing reviews (and reading pony stories), this particular set contained a surprising number of memetic stories.

Yesterday, I said I’d maybe take a break from recent story reviews to work on my own stuff.

Then my feed exploded with stories.

You monsters. It’s almost like you want me to keep reading!

But for all your work, I am grateful – today was a very good day for pony fiction.

The Fourth of July, the day wherein Americans celebrate their country by blowing up a small part of it.

What could be more American than that?

Reading pony fanfiction, clearly!

Been a bit remiss in doing reviews since the last writeoff, so I figured I’d climb back on the wagon today and catch up on some of the stories I’d missed.

Decided to try and be useful and get some stuff done.

Did a bunch more reviews, and rewrote chapter six of Mistletrapped.

I always feel as though I waste far too much of my time on frivolous things – primarily, watching the news. I think, this weekend, I will try to avoid the news – try to avoid stupid, frivolous, wasteful things, and actually try and do things that make me feel good in the long term, instead of fritter away my time.

We’ll see if I can succeed.

The season 5 finale train never ends, with three more stories tied closely to The Cutie Re-mark, along with a story that was recently featured and an excellent story which won second place in the November write-off that all of you should read.

Which is which? You’ll have to read the reviews to know.
