The start of this story is pretty good. Well, the first paragraph should be edited or just cut out. The next three paragraphs are quite good and I enjoyed them. The rest of the story is pretty funny. Not quite as funny as Last Stand of King Sombra, but I’d put it in the same general vicinity. Once again, it’s so short that I’d recommend it even if you aren’t sure you’ll like it. I found it amusing.

Eh, this one wasn’t as fun. I mean the writing was decent and it was somewhat humorous. It just wasn’t what I was expecting. Even as short as it was it kind of dragged on. This was about 1,400 words, and it needed to be closer to 1,000 words long. Which is kind of petty. I just wasn’t expecting the time machine is all.

Going through the really short stories on my to-read list has been interesting. This is another one I liked. Writing is a little rough, mostly due to not having enough time to develop things. Yet the story gives a sense of who the characters are, what has happened, and a fairly satisfying conclusion. I’d recommend this one, in spite of the heavy fandom reference near the end. That was laid on a bit heavy for my tastes, but still executed fairly well.

Fun little comedy. Nothing deep, but the bit at the end of Twilight and Rainbow talking about the movie was pretty funny.

This was nice. Writing was a bit rough, but as a brief character study of Princess Celestia it works well. Plus I did like the bit at the end when we find out who gave her the present. Was a good version of a character that wasn’t so nice in the show, and still isn’t nice here, but there was a layer of goodness mixed in. I’d recommend this one as a somewhat clever short piece.
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.
