More opinions? More opinions.

• A Mad Glimmer by FanOfMostEverything
Yeah, p sure Discord would be pissed after learning of what Fluttershy had to go through if they'd covered it in canon. And it shows, he's much more direct than he usually is here, though no less of a force of chaos. Good read.

• A Crazed Gleam by FanOfMostEverything
Okay, that was horrific. And awesome. Even though that was a revenge fic and in fact a very old one made prior to Starlight's character development and true redemption and it appears not to be one the author is particularly proud of it's still a very well executed story which doesn't go over the top too much (even while splinter!Starlight's ultimate fate is still horrible). Does enjoying this story make me a bad person? I was never a good person to begin with.

• Reflection by Masterweaver
Aw. Poor Chrysalis. No idea what else to say about this one but I really liked the concept and it was executed very well.

• Stamped! Sealed! Delivered! (Tales of the Equestrian Postal Service) by Mockingbirb
A very silly comedy short featuring the muffin horse, fun read.

• A– by Miller Minus
It's kinda sad that we don't know much about Sunset's past other than her being Celestia's protégé and turning evil. Would love to know more about her background and what made her the way she was at the beginning of EG series (wait, wasn't there a comic book about that? I don't really remember it plus the comics are of questionable canonicity so uhm...). This story is an attempt to cover this gap and shed some light into Sunset's past and in my opinion it was a good one. Can't really add anything about the story's quality (good or bad) but I enjoyed reading it quite a bit.

• Analemma by Miller Minus
One of my very old faves about my favorite Princess. Even knowing the twist, it was really nice to re-read it after all these years.

• Artistic License by Chris
Another old favorite about the Princesses, hilarious and lovely.

• The Circle and the Cross by Chris
Gorgeous story, diamond horse's flowery narration does a lot for its feel. Reminded me of HPL's Through the Gates of the Silver Key a lot for some reason (though I've read that one a long time ago so I barely remember it), especially the ending twist (but even then I wasn't smart enough to had been able to quite foresee the nature of it in advance). And it didn't feel to me like yet another X is a Changeling! story like the author was concerned about, but, then again, I didn't read many of such fics in the first place. There were some misspellings but it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the story.

Thank you for reading :) you are very kind.

Thanks for looking at a couple of my old fics! Glad to know at least some of my things hit/still hit the right spot for you. Also, Analemma and A- are both ones I've read, and I agree with you on both reviews; Analemma holds up well even when you know where it's going, and A- (particularly in its FiMFic form, to which Minus made a few relatively small but very smart improvements over the writeoff version) does color in Sunset nicely.

Thank you for kind words and great writing!
@Chris: Oh, just in case, I also wrote about Going Up a while ago but didn't have much words to say, love it to bits as well though! Purloined Pony was also a great read back in the day but I have yet to revisit it...
