Another confusing one. Better writing that the previous. Mostly because the confusion is intentional this time. The story aims for a surreal can’t tell what’s real feeling. Doesn’t quite pull it off, but gets real close. Worth reading if you want something a bit wonky.

Needed just a bit more in my opinion. Decent short story, okay writing, but just a little too short. Just not enough to support any kind of immersion or emotional connection.

Fun story. I read this out loud to my mom, and we both enjoyed it. Each pony’s dream was fun and matched well what you think each character might be dreaming about.

Way silly. A bit of seriousness, but mostly just wacky shenanigans. A over the top crazy Applejack in power armor doing everything with massive amounts of collateral damage everywhere. Totally unrealistic on several levels, but lots of fun. Plus it’s always fun to read a story where Rainbow Dash is the voice of reason and rationality.

A gimmick story, but I found it amusing. Plus I can totally see Twilight Sparkle acting like she does in this, especially the end. It reminded me that I’m still waiting for the story where Princess Celestia keeps assigning more and more unreasonable tasks to Twilight as a lesson in admitting when you can’t do something, or asking for help, or simply to get Twilight to admit Princess Celestia was wrong about something. Princess Celestia trying to snap Twilight Sparkle out of her hero worship, basically. The comedic twist, of course, would be that Twilight Sparkle keeps accomplishing the impossible things.

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.
