The pony processing organ in my head still has some foreign non-pony contaminants.

    Sincere Shilling!

    If you like D&D stuff, or just tabletop rpg stuff in general, one of the people I follow online is trying to get funding to create something to sell for Dungeon Masters to increase immersion.

    Happy Holidays

    This is your yearly reminder that I wrote a decently funny Christmas story in the long-ago times. If you haven't read it, you should! If you have read it, maybe you should just stick with blurred memories of how good it was.

    Books!

    So, due to my high level connections here and there, I now have an advance copy of several highly sought after ponyfic books. Now that I've had a chance to check several of them out in person, I have to say that Ponyfeather Publishing does excellent work. Anyone able to pick one up, at Bronycon or ordering them afterward, should totally do so.

    Last Week on City Of Doors 7/7/2019

    So, I've actually been posting on my primary blog lately. Which has been nice, given that I've pulled myself out of depression enough to actually do stuff like that. So, here's been my daily content over there:

Happily Ever After... by spideremblembrony
[story link] [my original review]

This would make a really good episode. A lot of it would have been better with a visual presentation. Still, interesting concept and decent writing. I like how not everything gets explained. Leaving it up to the reader to fill in the blanks. This one is worth a read.

Outlier by FanOfMostEverything
[story link] [my original review]

Eh, this isn’t badly written. There just isn’t much here. Better writing than The Mare In Black but not nearly as interesting.

Trial by Flower by AugieDog
[story link] [my original review]

Decent story. Would make a typical episode of the show, in a ‘day in the life of a citizen’ sort of way. If the show was allowed any real romance, that is. Does have a monster with a wonderful (horrible) pun name.

In Times of Need by Pascoite
[story link] [my original review]

This is probably a typical story the contest was looking for. It’s a really cliche plot, but it has very good execution of said cliche. So, not that amazing, but I liked it. Plus it had an actual plot. I find that I enjoy a HiE story with an actual plot instead of the entire focus being on just the fact that there is a human in Equestria.

To Love the Sun by Magello
[story link] [my original review]

An interesting story. Not sure I would call it a good one. Though I would use it as an example that second person perspective can work for a story. Above average for the contest, but only average in general. Still, even though I think we disagree on how good the story is, I have to agree with PresentPerfect on the use of second-person perspective. This is how you do it right.


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.
