Quite Ready for Another Adventure by Tamar

This got me right in the feels. So, I found it pretty good. It’s a future fanfic that does a good job depicting the end of Twilight’s life and some of the changes that have happened since the show. Though the focus is more on the immediate personal and emotional impact of things than the timeline/worldbuilding.
Who are you and what happened to Rainbow Dash?! by Damocles23

This isn’t very good. It’s a shallow clop fic. Pinkie Pie is written poorly and, well, I should just stick with this isn’t very good. About 3/4ths clop. To be clear, I didn’t have very high expectations going into this, but thought I’d get at least a few kind of funny jokes. Which did not happen.

Eh, as much as I’ve enjoyed AJ & Soarin stories, this was not a good example of one. Neither of them were all that well written and the story in general was a bit flat.
Upon Reflection by Obselescence

Not this author’s best work. Wasn’t bad, just was missing that spark of something. It’s pretty much an internal monologue of Twilight Sparkle getting lost in a philosophical concept.

This was okay. Just seemed a bit, I don’t know, a bit flat? Went on too long or didn’t get the characters just right. So recommended, but with a vague caveat. Maybe just felt off because nothing really happens. I’ve read stories a quarter this long with twice the emotional heft to them.
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.
Whoa. Not a great grouping. At least you had Tamar's story. Surprising to see an Obs story get an "eh."

Yeah, sometimes they clump up like that. I suspect that I was also feeling a bit down back then. When my depression flares up, I tend to react more negatively to what I read.
