Subtle review: Thanqol's Yours Truly, and Blueshift ('nuff said) · 1:59pm Mar 3rd, 2013
From: Twilight Sparkle
To: Princess Celestia
That's how it begins (IT BEGINS). And it just happened that earlier on that very day, I came across this image:
Sooo yeah... let's move on to the actual review part.
Yours Truly is presented in an interesting way, because everything is a letter. In the entire story, there is not a single line of dialogue. In the beginning, I was like 'wat-am-i-reading', but that soon changed into 'okay, just one more letter.' Which then of course happened to be one of Twilight's extremely long letters...
Whatever. It's a good story though, I really liked it... until the end. It's not a bad ending or anything (or actually it is), it's just that I totally did not see it coming. And it wasn't the ending I was hoping for.
But well, all in all, it was a good story. A very original way of storytelling (through letters only), combined with an actual good story. If you haven't read it, do so. And also 18,300 words done for my PFV challenge, so yay for that.
In other news: I've also read Blueshifts X-COM: Equestria Unknown. This is good stuff. Seriously.
Hmmm, this blog is kinda short. Whatever.
Not sure if I want to read it with that "Romance" tag. Might as well mark it to read later and check out the beginning some time!

If you're not into Romance, just skip it I'd say. Beware though, if you do read it there is a chance your ToRead list will explode. I wasn't into Romance at all, and then MLP happened.
Make sure you do read XCOM though.
And I know the 'Some day...'-feel. I have like 250+ unread stories, and at my current rate I should be finished in somewhere 5-10 years into the future.
