Between Knife in the Dark, the fan animation of Octavia fighting changelings, and this story, I’m liking the badass ninja Octavia. This was a very fun story. Octavia and Vinyl Scratch as secret agents taking down a bakery cartel. It felt like pony through and through and had the pair as friends and nothing more. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of this series.

Sequel to previous. The bit referencing the Colbert Report seemed a bit out of place. I didn’t think it fits with MLP all that well. Just too modern and pop culture referential. I didn’t like this one as much as the first story in the series. It had too much modern spy movie and not enough pony. This was more of a very modern Bond story with some little bits of pony, whereas the previous story was a much more even mix in my opinion. Few things I did like: The pinkieton detective agency was amusing. As was Vinyl Scratch’s love of her bass cannon (which she named Wubsy).

This is an author I enjoy quite a bit, and this collection is a pretty good example why. 19 shorts and not a single one I disliked. In fact I loved many of them. The very first one was a riot. This has me wishing he was done with his next longer form story so I could read it. Several of them would work as longer stand-alone stories in fact.

This continues from the cutie mark switch of the season 3 finale. It isn’t quite as good as Memories We Never Had by HiddenBrony, but it’s still a nice little piece. A short little slice of life peek at both Applejack and a tiny little peek at Rarity.

The writing quality is a bit rough in this one. Which is something considering I usually don’t notice that sort of thing. Overuse of passive voice, at least one instance of wrong word (new instead of knew, though that might just be a typo). Despite all of that I kind of liked this one. It’s got Vinyl Scratch as a somewhat nuanced character. Also, it was simple and short.
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.
Hi! I know I'm a tiny little bit extremely late but, do you by any chance know what has been of JohnPerry? I was searching a story of him and found that his FimFiction account has disappeared and now his work is only available in FimFetch😕.
