We Are the Everfree - Everfree's Trees are not like other trees, by Loganberry (Random Recommendations in <50 words #3) · 10:08pm April 24th
Overall.
We speak,
Tree-speak,
Are meek,
Life bleak,
Bird beaks,
Sap weeps,
Boughs creak,
Bugs eat,
Roots deep.
Best lines:
Honestly, there is no one best line. When I was reading this my mind's voice became a tree. And no cheesy tree beard either. It became an actual tree! No one best line could do that justice.
Why read? Unique, atmospheric, whip-lash surprise, lore.
Flaws. None.
Meta: Skim-read? ✔ Full-read? ✔ Recommend Author? ✔
Final thought. Now I know how Fluttershy feels.
Will just say that the only reason I can't yet recommend Loganberry themself as an author, is because I have not yet read his recent stuff in enough depth and given one of his fics a full review. These short reviews are skim-read as it says in the meta, and are unserious reviews and are very much generally about how the text makes me feel. Reviewing like this has the advantage of keeping things fun for me, and I am a massive Pinkie fave so that is imperative! He is obviously an amazing author :P so if anypony is reading this, definitely do check him out! There are 34 unreasonably amazing stories on his profile, and he is a lovely person too.
I think
might be a a good example of a grammatically incorrect, but spokenly OK sentence? But I'm removing the comma anyway, because a) the word is already emphasised by the italics, and b) my English teacher from school once told me that that was a parenthetical sub-clause and the sentence would read "There is no best line" if you delete the one bit, which is absolutely the opposite of what I meant to say. My English teacher often criticised me for saying the opposite of what I mean to say :(
yo, that is a great fic :D

thanks! I imagine you already are familiar with Loganberry's arboreal oeuvre, but if not, check that guy out!
Ooh, this was a very nice surprise. Thank you very much!
BTW, if you want a Pinkie fic that is both short and one I think is among my best, It Doesn't Matter Now may fit the bill. No obligation, obviously!

And thank you as well!

you are on pony friend!
What's a skim-read, as opposed to an ordinary read?
Edited to say: Wait, you can just answer the question here (link).
