Happy Memorial Day! I was planning on having a story ready for today, but ended up getting distracted with reading pony fanfics instead. But hey, six of one, half a dozen of the other, right?

Been a while since I did one of these! Five recent(ish) stories, five reviews. Let’s get cracking before this becomes a Read It Later review set, eh?

Today’s Read it Now Reviews are brought to you by procrastination. Procrastination – where you get everything done except the thing with an actual due date.

Though at least it finally made me catch up on SS&E’s recent works, read a few RariLight stories (a ship that I have long-neglected to read many stories about), and make more progresss on Mistletrapped.

The Writeoff Association is a great way to produce a large volume of work. Unfortunately, at times it can also be a great way to produce a large volume of stories that you wrote in a short period of time and then need to spend some time cleaning up, resulting in a large backlog of stories which need some serious editorial love.

Pardon my dust.

Yes, that’s right, I’m back, though I never really left so much as vaguely sauntered just offscreen. I haven’t really been reading a whole lot of stuff, or writing a whole lot of stuff, or really even doing a whole lot of stuff for the last month. I just kind of… vanished. Played a bit of Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard’s new MOBA game… but frankly, that’s not where I’ve been.

I’ve just been gone.

A busy day today for people I follow – four new stories in my feed, from three different authors, including the long-absent Darf, who is oft spoken of in hushed tones, for fear that he might return if you said his name in front of a mirror three times.

Seems someone finally did. And so, I thought, what better way to welcome him back from two years of absence than to review two of his new stories?

I’m so sorry.

I published a new story yesterday:

Forever and Again and Again
by the Titanium Dragon

Slice of Life, Romance
4,376 words

When Twilight visits Celestia's private hall of stained-glass windows, each bearing the image of a long-gone friend, one in particular catches her eye.

Halloween (or should I say, Nightmare Night) has come and gone, but it left us with a trio of stories which lingered in the featured story box – Suited for Terror, Boo! Haunted House!, and Morsel of Truth. In the spirit of the holidays, I thought I’d read all three, and polish off two more recent stories that caught my eye.

Hello folks! Writing from my location in the dungeon of a rental, I have been very remiss in my reading and writing. But for now, remodeling is in the hands of a contractor, so it is time to do some catchup – and not the kind that you put on fries.

Set three of the Flutterdash contest entry reviews!

I was going to write a blog post about the finale, but having gotten about halfway through it, I’m not really sure what it was going to add to the discussion – to a great extent, it felt like a rehash of the episode, rather than adding anything of value.

But I do have things I want to say about it, so I will have to reformulate my thoughts.

In the meanwhile, I actually started reading stories again. And, well, as long as I was reminiscing… what about another review set?

Another day, another five more reviews new stories. Glad to see another thing from Aquaman; I've been meaning to read more of his stuff for a while now, even if he does talk to fish.

With the writeoff over, it is time to get back into the swing of reviews!

Today’s excuse to promote The Destruction of the Self stories:

With season 5 over, it is time for people to release their reaction fics. I expect that this season finale will be fertile ground for fanfics for many months to come. I myself have some ideas, but I am going to try and push out a lot of stories I’ve got in my pipeline first.

Of course, there’s another writeoff coming up in just a few weeks, so maybe it won’t be such a long delay after all…

The folks I follow have been busy of late. Seems like it is time for yet another set of recent story reviews!

It amazes me that I managed to end up over 30 review sets ahead on Read It Now reviews relative to Read It Later reviews. I suppose it is often easier to read a spate of recent stories than to attack the long stories that seem to heavily populate my high priority shelves, definitely not because I procrastinate on reading them…

But, well, this time I decided I’d read a couple of ~10k word recent stories, in addition to some shorter ones. We’ll see how it goes!

You know, normally after a period of inactivity, folks would say that they climbed back on the horse, but in Equestria, that sounds a little bit dirty.

These are some of the stories I read while I was also reading stories for the FlutterDash contest.

Getting back into the swing of things! Five new stories, five new reviews, all in the span of just a couple hours of work. Glad to see a number of folks are writing new stuff, as I’m always happy to see things from folks I follow.
