Pretty much a epilogue of the previous story. By a different author, but it matches up pretty well. Pretty much just Celestia’s reaction to the events of the previous story. Which matches exactly how I’d picture Celestia reacting. Well, in my head it’s a toss-up between this story and burning all life off the planet with divine fire. Well-written, a good follow-up.

This was a good one. Only annoying bit is that I couldn’t read it on my kindle. The entire chapter of invisible text was a bit much, but it was a nicely written story. Just enough comedy and seriousness mixed together. More of the dramatic with just a touch of the silly here and there.
The Boneyard by Cloud Wander

This is one of the better pony fanfics I’ve read. Like, overall. More to the point, this is a wonderful example of how to write a really good fanfic that is both original and faithful to the source material. This story was a good blend of original and pony and mixed them well. Has great worldbuilding and wonderful mythic flavor in various parts of it. Not to mention a really well done somewhat simpleminded character. Simple, but not stupid. That’s really hard to pull off in any medium. All three characters are well constructed and I wouldn’t mind reading more stories about them.

Very short, but pretty good. This is almost a light version of Cerulean. This one is just a few related scenes rather then a cohesive flowing narrative. Though this one has them in order and much more tightly connected.

This is hilarious. Doesn’t match up with any show canon of course, but for comedy this good I’ll let a lot of things slide. Seeing Sombra come up with one cheesy trick after another, and the mane six falling for them, was great silly fun.
Another one that is even better to read out loud to someone.
As always, The Big Master Review List is here: { THE MASTER LIST }
If you know of a text-format reviewer I'm not keeping track of, please let me know and I'll see if they meet the criteria to be assimilated into the list.
If you are an author who wants a more detailed review of a story I've covered feel free to message me. My reviews tend to be fairly light, mostly just reactions to a story right after reading it. I am happy to give a more careful read and reply to anyone who wants more precision and/or feedback.
