    The never-ending stor(e)y

    For some reason this is one of the points readers of mine (including off-site ones) have mentioned several times, perhaps because it's one of those Transatlantic divides that isn't all that well known. So: when you're talking about the floors of a building:

    US English: one story, two stories. The same spelling and the same plural as for the other kind of story.

    Fics I reviewed in April 2024 (and one from late March)

    By popular request¹ I'm bringing back this feature. My weekly Ponyfic Roundup reviews are, and will remain, on my off-site blog. It just suits me to do it that way, even if I'd probably have got significantly more of a readership had I written the blogs on Fimfiction as most (all?) other current reviewers do. However, a

    State of the Unicorn: Poor

    That's poor in both senses, I'm afraid! Though before I say any more, I need to stress that I have a warm, safe home, enough to eat, internet access... the essentials, really. I am not in danger of losing those. However, I won't be doing much beyond those essentials for a while. Without going into boring details, I will very shortly be going in for dental work to be done. Which, as

    So then, Doctor Who

    Loved it! A few little quibbles, not all the acting from the newcomers was stellar and sadly parts of the gender-related stuff felt awkward and forced, eg "something a male-presenting Time Lord wouldn't understand", but I liked much more than I didn't. Plus one of my worries about the new Disney-cash-infused Who has been dispelled: this definitely did

Plan of campaign · 3:38pm Jul 30th, 2014

This is all subject to change, of course, but here's what I'm currently hoping to do over the next month or so:

1. Write and submit an entry for the Equestria Daily Outside Insight contest. Since the closing date for submissions is 15/8, this will be my first priority. It's proving interesting, but hard work.
2. Put up the next part of Where They Understand You. Large chunks of chapter 5 are already done, and I had originally hoped to have it published by now. Unfortunately, real life kept getting in the way. Sometime in August, and that's (nearly) a promise.
3. Update Friendship is Poetry. One new poem since April isn't terribly impressive; I mean for that to change. This is a bit of a pet project for me, which is another reason I want to do better.
4. Possibly do a little bit of work on Kicking Back. It was written as a bit of silliness, and I didn't really expect it to be so well received by those who read it. Since it has been, though, I might try to polish it up a little.
5. If I have any spare time (ho ho), try to make usable stories out of any of the various ludicrous ideas that insist on coming into my head at the most inconvenient times. If you're a writer yourself, you'll know exactly what I mean by that!

:eeyup: I'm working on a story just now that was the result of a silly idea.

Good luck!

I sort of want to write something for that comp, but at the same time I am king procrastinator! :twilightoops:

2328932 Something like half my stories have come that way so far... certainly "Kicking Back" did, and so did "This Fragment of Life". Actually, so did the one I started off with, "The 20 Percent Solution". So maybe it's just the way things go!
2329280 Thank you! Nobody's yet done my idea better, which is always a risk with these things. I really would like to give it a go, even if it is a struggle, since I find the idea interesting. It's something I'd like to say I took part in. :twilightsmile:
