Fairly typical ‘somepony is a changeling’ story. Has no worldbuilding except one tiny bit. Which is a point against it since that’s the main draw in changeling stories for me. Still, it was sweet and I liked it. I do like most of the changeling romance stories thought, so take that with a grain of salt.
Have read this once or twice since, still a sweet changeling romance story.

Decent little slice of life. Writing is very good, but it’s sweet and has adorable young Applejack in it. Falls into the category of kinda acceptable, but not really good. Still, it does have a very adorable young Applejack in one scene.

The idea of a pony conspiracy theorist cracks me up. This fanfic does pretty good at delivering just that. No real story or anything, just a bit of great humor. I’d recommend this if the idea of a pony conspiracy theorist cracks you up as well.

Simple shipping story, but certainly sweet. Spitfire and Big Mac is an interesting pair. Good story for anyone who enjoys light shipping, but nothing here if you are looking for anything besides that.

This is written by one of my favorite fanfic authors. Long Story Short, Things Went Down is still one of my favorites despite the writing being kind of middle-of-the-road. That one just had such a great sense of momentum to it. Whereas the Daring DONE! and associated sequels are still some of the funniest things I’ve read ever. Family Matters is probably a close second in this author’s work of pure comedy. Today is a Good Day to die was wonderful surrealist absurdity. Train On Fire, Full of Orphans made me ashamed to be laughing at it, but that didn’t stop me laughing. On the non-comedic side of things, I consider Born On A Rock Farm to be a work of art.
Right! The actual review. Pretty good. Yeah, the reason this is so popular is probably because of Twilight. The first bits were funny, but kind of bland funny. The part that made me laugh the most was the three princesses talking about Twilight and then the end when they are talking to Twilight about the situation. Great comedy, but I liked both the Done! series and Long Story Short a bit better.
Yeah, I got a bit wonky with this one. Covers most of the review, but there is more rambling related thoughts in the original if you want to go look.
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.
