No time like the present to review more stories, eh?

I actually read so many stories I had to shuffle a couple stories out of this review set into the next one.

Today’s stories:

The Mystery of the Disappearing Siblings by Jay-The-Brony
Palimpsest by NorrisThePony
Best Friends, Too by shortskirtsandexplosions
Hatred by SapphireLibra3
Post Negative Comments Only by Estee

Read It Later Reviews #58 – Stupid Tree, A Confederacy of Dunce Caps, Minuette Sleeps Her Way to the Top, Page Two · 9:41pm Oct 31st, 2016

This was originally destined to be Read It Now Reviews #93, and was mostly written all the way back in September.

Then I kept on putting off finishing reading A Confederacy of Dunce Caps for no good reason.

Today, I found the time to finally finish it off… but by this point, now is really later.

Still, that’s no excuse not to post reviews!

Today’s stories:

Stupid Tree by Baal Bunny
A Confederacy of Dunce Caps by Estee

Read It Now Reviews #52 – Get Clean!, Inevitable, Doll Judgement, Chronopthisis, Attack of the Mutated Zombie Orc Ninjas · 10:55pm Sep 10th, 2015

24,331 words.

That is the present length of Mistletrapped, whose first draft I have, at long last, completely finished, all the way through the epilogue.

I’m going to be editing it over the next few days, but you should expect the entire rest of that story to be posted somewhere within the space of the next week or so.

Today’s stories:

Snowed In by OkemosBrony

Deathbed Confession by Dreadnought

This is Not a Drill by Tumbleweed

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 stories:

Six Ponies & One Corpse by Estee
Those Who Wield Power by PresentPerfect
Friendship 101 by BlazzingInferno

Read It Later Reviews #76 – Unstable Sale, Morning in the Kitchen, I Can Wait, Scootadate, A Watchful Changeling · 12:36am Jun 1st, 2017

This set almost became an Estee story only set. Then I ended up reading one other story, then a second… and then it became a normal review set.

Also, every one of Estee’s stories that I haven’t read yet is 20k+ words long. And I’ve been saying I’d read bookplayer’s Lost Time, Cold in Gardez’s Salvation

I’m so good at putting off getting stuff read that I’m sure I’ll find fascinating.

Still, there was some good stuff in here.

Read It Now Reviews #53 – Wanting Sweet Things, Rarity Sleeps In, Far Kobresia, No Sale, To Hell With Destiny · 4:07am Sep 12th, 2015

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.

Read It Later Reviews #49 – Harissa, Shining Armor’s Amour’s Armour, Rainbow Reflections, A Total Eclipse of the Fun, The Gathering · 11:15pm May 24th, 2016

This was actually supposed to be Read It Later Reviews #50, but I just posted a Read It Now set yesterday and then Bad Horse came out with a story a day later. As this set had an empty space it in, Read It Later #49 got bumped down the line. So this set actually contains four older stories, plus Bad Horse’s new one.

I’m cheating a bit. Deal with it. :rainbowdetermined2:

Today’s stories:

Read It Later Reviews #71 – While Their Name’s Still Spoken, Infernal Machines, A Short Story by Twilight Sparkle, Reciprocity, Playing the Scales · 7:39pm Mar 12th, 2017

Instead of working on A Thousand Roses yesterday, I ended up reading a number of additional stories off of my high priority Read It Sooner list, as well as re-reading a couple of older stories that I read before I started doing reviews.

I really need to get to work on finishing up my story… but I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy the experience of reading many of these works.

Read It Now Reviews #98 – Suited for Terror, Boo! Haunted House!, Morsel of Truth, Family Matters, Unnoticed · 10:38pm Nov 2nd, 2016

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.

Suited for Terror by Estee

Read It Later Reviews #36 – Present Tense, Apple Whine, Pinkie Pie vs the Soufflé, Height, It is Upon These Words That the Fate of Equestria Hangs · 12:29am Nov 18th, 2015

Well, trying to be a busy little beaver dragon this week and spend my free time doing productive things instead of browsing the Internet and wasting time procrastinating. It is invigorating to throw myself into things, and I wonder just what it is that keeps trying to pull me back into the petty and frivolous when I could be doing far more enjoyable things.

Is it base human nature?

Is it fear of actually trying?

Is it just the ease of consuming the easily digested?

Ah, well.

Read It Now Reviews #111 – A Series of Egotistical Events, Don’t Want Perfection, Behind Closed Doors, Sum of Their Parts, Drunk Little Ponies · 11:26pm Oct 25th, 2017

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.

Today’s stories:

A Series of Egotistical Events by Estee
Don’t Want Perfection by Shortmane
Behind Closed Doors by Cynewulf
Sum of Their Parts by Flipwix

Read It Later Reviews #1 - A Confederacy of Dunce Caps, Going Anywhere, On the Importance of Spelling, Awaken, Scootaloo, and Fugue State · 6:00am Nov 24th, 2014

A common symptom of being on FIMFiction for a while is an ever-growing read later list, composed of a bunch of stories which looked interesting enough to mark “read later”, but which you were too lazy to read at that point in time, either because it wasn’t really that interesting, because you were pressed for time, or because it was simply fairly long and would require some actual commitment.

My Read It Later list is up to 1517 stories at the time of writing.

Story Notes: Ponies vs. Pizza · 2:34am Jun 20th, 2022

Wow, this is at least the second one-shot I’ve written involving ponies eating pizza. What were the odds of that?

For better or worse, not pre-read by anybody. Just like a Little Caesar’s Hot and Ready doesn’t get any inspection before it goes out the door . . . helps keep the price low, y’know?

Read It Now Reviews #104 – Under Pressure, Passion and Reason, Fifteen Friendships, Blink and You Miss It, Haunted Hayride · 8:39pm Mar 14th, 2017

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!

Read It Later Reviews #78 – Goosed!, Stupid Direction-Face, Sick Little Ponies (And One Dragon), The Remainders of the Day, Twilight’s Escort Service · 6:54pm Jun 26th, 2017

Estee has written a lot of stories, and I’ve ended up reviewing a lot of things they’ve written. As I was writing this, I believed that I was down to the last five (finished) stories in the Triptych verse, and so I decided to devote a review set to finishing out Estee’s stories.

Turns out I miscounted, and there’s still one more left.
