With all the stuff going on with The Iron Horse, the deadline for Everfree Northwest's Scribblefest 2017 contest nearly got away from me!

Hello again. This time around I've been trying to look for stories that got less exposure than some of the others I looked for in the hopes of finding some really good ones that might have simply fallen by the wayside. Unfortunately, that plan seems to have backfired since a few of them didn't really do much for me. However, this is why I haven't read other, heavily viewed stories with very large ratings. In fact, some of these stories had so few votes that they simply didn't show up.

Back again for more recommendations from the EFNW 2016 Scribblefest. I've managed to scavenge a fair bit of variety for these three, which is pretty neat, and maybe you'll find something you might enjoy giving a read.

If you've not already checked out some of the other blog posts I've done, be sure to give them a look: there are some pretty decent stories in some of my previous recommendation blogs, so do give them a look if you have the time. And now, onwards!

And some days you get them too!

Okidok, at around the same time me and the other admins of HazMat wrapped up our own contest, the results of the EFNW Scribblefest also arrived. There was only one story that got a winning category that I didn't read (the Twilight award, which interestingly was the one I figured two other stories would have a shot at winning) so I can say with pretty reasonable confidence that I'm happy with all the winning entries (even the poem one. I still hate poetry with a vengeance, though, but I do think

This story was introduced to me after reading Hat Man's reviews on other Scribblefest stories, and it immediately piqued my interest for a large number of reasons. The first was some similarities between this and my own entry, as both featured an Earth pony taking to the skies, as well as being more interested in the technical aspects of it, which appealed to my engineering background. I have, in fact, studied aerospace and find it very interesting.

Hello, my friends! Well, it being a rainy morning out here in Houston, and since I've been getting excited about the Everfree Northwest Scribblefest 2016 contest, I thought I'd do some reviews! For those of you who haven't read my entry, Marble's Horizon, I hope you'll give it a look and tell me what you think. It's getting a very slow build and hasn't gotten a feature or anything, but nearly everyone seems to like it

I didn't win. (Oh well. I had fun anyway.)

However I would like to know what the judges thought of my story since it made it to the finals and reviews are always nice.

Judges:

Titanium Dragon
Pen Stroke
BronyWriter
Horizon
Heartshine
Asylum
Silver Flare
PiquoPie

That's quite a lot of folks to ask...

Hello everyone. Like I mentioned in my previous blog post, I wanted to kind of go over the different iterations Sky Blue Bro went through. It actually went through an awful lot of changes from inception to publishing, and a lot of ideas were scrapped, changed, and tweaked for various reasons, ranging from trying to keep under the word count (on GDocs Sky Blue Bro got to 6000 words exactly, whereas on FimFiction it went about a hundred and fifty words over, as bloody usual), but also to convey

I spent pretty much all of Sunday reading Scribblefest entries, and this is going to be the last Scribblefest-centric review post. On the whole, the finalists had a number of very decent stories, and while I didn’t end up writing a review of every story, I did manage to write reviews for a good number of them.

As always, note that I am but one of nine Scribblefest judges, so my word is not the last one on these.

As with yesterday’s Read It Later reviews, four of the five stories in this set came from Scribblefest. As was the case yesterday, please note that my opinion on these stories is not the final word for that contest; we are merely in the preliminary round of judging, and three judges read each of these stories. I am but one of nine judges involved in this, so… yeah.

Anyway! Onto the reviews!

Scribblefest judging is winding down, and I’m working on getting the last few stories judged. Expect some more review posts early next week on the rest of the stories, but I’ll be getting all the rest of them read and judged this evening.

Reminder to those who are participating - I'm but one judge of nine, so my opinions are not the final word on these stories.
