Read It Later Reviews #74 – Twice Shy, The Best of Tensions, Hurricane Watch, Appellation Mountains, A Teatime Visit · 8:42pm May 3rd, 2017

Wow, it has been a while since I posted a review set.

I’ve actually been sitting on most of this review set for almost a month for no good reason. I’ve read a few stories here and there, but I’ve been trying to convince myself that I was going to get my next story done Soon, and thus should be working on that. I’ve also been somewhat avoiding the site because I managed to fall behind on season 7, having not yet watched a single episode from it.

Read It Later Reviews #53 – In Her Majesty’s Absence, When There Are No More Stories To Tell, Chocolate Talk, Are You A Bad Pony?, “Thanks, Mom” · 8:28pm Jul 31st, 2016

While clearing out my “Read It Now” bookshelf of stories which were more than a month old, I ended up noticing a number of stories that I had put off reading that had what seemed to be intriguing premises and got sucked into reading them instead of cleaning out my bookshelf.

Oh, well.

Read It Now Reviews #110 – Rookies, In Hindsight, Child of the Dying Sun, Dragons Don’t Like Flowers, Apple Sense · 1:03am Sep 5th, 2017

It has been a while since I put out one of these, but I’ve been reading up a storm in the last few days and decided to stop being lazy and start writing reviews again. I’ve got about half of another review set done at this point as well, so hopefully I’ll have more soon. Possibly even some stories, as I have a couple which are presently in editing stages.

But enough of the future, it is time for the recent past!

Read It Later Reviews #34 – The New Crop, One Tenth-Bit, The Changeling of the Guard, Through the Eyes of a Soldier: Taking Hill 790, The Little Things · 10:41pm Oct 22nd, 2015

The Royal Guard is forever searching, forever seeking, and as one of its baleful eyes, so am I.

Though, ironically, I have about twice the pass rate of the average Royal Guard reviewer. So much for hating everything. :trixieshiftright:

Today we have three stories from the queue, along with two other pieces that I selected for my own reading enjoyment.

Read It Now Reviews #36 – Opposites Attract, Resembling Twilight, Who Will Save Me From This Body of Death?, The Elements of Elements, Twilight Spackle · 6:42am Jul 4th, 2015

In a sudden fit of productivity, I decided that it was time for me to actually finish a story yesterday and post it. It won sixth place in the last write-off, out of more than fifty entrants, and was within just a few fractions of a point of second place. I thought it was a bit unlike what I usually write - a metafic comedy, referencing the recent stories about fatal teleportation, Saturdays, and various other silly things - but Bradel thought it was in line with The Stars Ascendant in

My computer may be gone, but my reviews shall ever remain. A new computer is en route in many, many pieces, but I am done wallowing in self-pity over the loss of my extended brain.

Time to get some reviews done. You folks have been busy.

Read It Later Reviews #79 – Twice As Bright, Sparkle Date Me, “Special” Delivery, The Bounce Test, Shut Up · 7:06pm Jun 27th, 2017

Back in April, I started on a set of Read It Now reviews. I ended up reading a couple stories for it, and then forgetting I had started a review set and never finishing it.

Today, as I went to read some recent stories, I realized that I had an unfinished review set, and as it wasn’t really quite timely, I merged it into this.

Let’s take a look, shall we?

Read It Later Reviews #27 – Farewell, X is a Changeling, Experience, For Ages and Ages to Come, Shoots and Roots · 1:17am Aug 19th, 2015

I managed to get sick this last weekend. It was a really rapid onset; within three hours I went from feeling totally fine to shivering uncontrollably, my head, shoulders, and arms aching, and a 102.8F fever which persisted for two days, along with some wonderful intestinal symptoms.

And then, today, I felt way better. Go figure.

Oh well, onto the pony fanfiction!

Ninety is a nice, round number, and the nineties were a rather nice decade.

In this set, I started reading GaP Jaxie’s The Third Wheel, a series of five AU fics set in the same world, plus I read a smattering of other stories.

Happy Monday, folks! And what a Monday it is. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the eldritch monstrosities from beyond the stars have been beaten back to the far side of the Moon, with everyone’s memories of their attack erased.

Good times.
