FiM Fiction Review - The End

I get the feeling I'm going to get a lot of hate for this. Shalrath's The End is by far the most liked story reviewed on this blog, but I would fail as a critic if I told you I was impressed and therefore, earn your hatred. Nevertheless, a critic who doesn't expect to be hated obviously didn't read the job description thoroughly and didn't realize that hatred simply goes under “occupational hazard.” The End is at best a solid story with an excellent presentation but sub-par story elements. Even with its solid dialogue and good structure, The End is likely to disappoint those of you looking for a deeper read with lousy character development and poor story progression. For the sake of getting it over and done with, onward to the review!

Side-Note
I know I promised to review Of Steam, Gears, and Wings this week, but unfortunately, I need written permission from the author to do a review (so no one feels they were violated). You guys understand. I haven't gotten a response yet and as a result, no review. My deepest apologies and I will resend the request tomorrow in hope of a reply.

One more thing: this was suppose to be post two days ago but my team and I ran into many issues with Blogger and its HTML. Thank you for your patience while we fixed it and you guys are fantastic!
