I've got a conundrum: where do new or struggling authors on this site go for help? Times past, I'd recommend groups like Authors Helping Authors, but it's been so long, I don't know what might be active anymore. And in a community this size, the best editors are going to be in high demand, meaning there's never enough people available to help the ever-burgeoning numbers of needy writers, those editors get swamped or burnt out, and the options and opportunities continue to shrink. Help a guy

Local extremely coolperson Skeeter the Lurker is in some real dire straits and could use the community's help! Here's hoping things go better for him. D:

You know what we haven't had in a long time? Someone entering the fic-reviewing gig. Mike Cartoon Pony's first foray into reviewing is honestly a big deal, since over the last few years, we've really only seen people get out of doing it. He's a Smart Person of Good Taste, and it also looks like he's using Scribbler's readings as guideposts, so be sure to give him a follow and get ready

Not an edition this time, though there are a couple related stories here. I just had a few readings come up of sequels to things I hadn't read, and though they both stand alone quite well, you know how I get with this stuff. <.<

Looks like ScarlettBlade is calling it quits. :( He's been around forever, though, I guess can't complain if he feels it's time to move on.

But hey, Scribbler's still around, and her latest reading is Skywriter's Roaming, with Clever Hooves, StarryFlame and NeighratorPony!

Yes, it's time for another reader-centric review slate, this time brought to you by Voiceguy Narrates Stuff! He's still active, but his content has been exclusively video game-focused for about the last three years. Also, he had a tendency to read the first chapter of stories and never continue, or read incomplete stories, not to mention he read a ton of just really bad fics, so I have skipped a whole bunch

Hey you!

Toldja I was doing another one today! :V

You know, despite how often these top ten blogs lead me to having to read extremely long stories, I actually really enjoy the format? Like, I'm kind of sad I only have to do one of these a year now. It's a great excuse to read random stuff, often including things I've been wanting to read but never had the chance to. And in case you're unfamiliar with the format, here's the layout of each review:

Our next reader is SJF95fighter, who hasn't uploaded a fic reading in three years or a video at all in 6 months, so I don't hold out hope for more. :B He's only got five other readings past the one I reviewed previously, including Final Draft's A Generic Story, so I am adding in MrLeftTurn, who only

Happy September, I guess! :B Let's start the month off with five random stories. One was a prequel to something on my audiobook list, so I wanted to get this out quickly. Also, because I'm maybe halfway through the contest edition I'm still working on. D: I might do another plain review blog before I start the audiobooks, we'll see.

Someone asked recently, and the answer is YES! I was still reading the entries. Reading and reviewing Order from Chaos, et. al., was part of that, plus Bronycon happened, so I'm a good two weeks off. Anyway, if you want to see what the prompts were and who they came from, please check out my journal on the subject. Otherwise, on to the reviews!
