    Fics I reviewed in April 2024 (and one from late March)

    By popular request¹ I'm bringing back this feature. My weekly Ponyfic Roundup reviews are, and will remain, on my off-site blog. It just suits me to do it that way, even if I'd probably have got significantly more of a readership had I written the blogs on Fimfiction as most (all?) other current reviewers do. However, a

    State of the Unicorn: Poor

    That's poor in both senses, I'm afraid! Though before I say any more, I need to stress that I have a warm, safe home, enough to eat, internet access... the essentials, really. I am not in danger of losing those. However, I won't be doing much beyond those essentials for a while. Without going into boring details, I will very shortly be going in for dental work to be done. Which, as

    So then, Doctor Who

    Loved it! A few little quibbles, not all the acting from the newcomers was stellar and sadly parts of the gender-related stuff felt awkward and forced, eg "something a male-presenting Time Lord wouldn't understand", but I liked much more than I didn't. Plus one of my worries about the new Disney-cash-infused Who has been dispelled: this definitely did

    Bloody Covid

    Fortunately not in the literal sense! But yeah, I'm currently stuck at home, yet not feeling well enough to concentrate on ponyfic. It's a seriously annoying combination. :pinkiesick:

S6E06: No Second Prances · 8:39pm Apr 30th, 2016

I really enjoyed that one! I wasn't particularly looking forward to it when I read the synopsis, but it turned out to be a really enjoyable episode. Nick Confalone did a good job here. :twilightsmile: ★★★★

A little spoilery stuff after the break.

Easily my favourite of the three Trixie episodes. Easily. It helped that she was so good in her role, and that Twilight was (for much of the episode) basically a colossal jerk. Given that Starlight (potentially) destroyed a hay of a lot more and was forgiven pretty much instantly and almost unconditionally, you can see Trixie's point. The two unicorns actually work really well together, and I wouldn't mind seeing them team up again at some point. DJ-Pon3 is now a cast-iron canon name, but I don't imagine people will stop calling her Vinyl in the fandom or in fanfics, and I'm okay with that. Derpy's face was amusing, as was the fact that Cranky was the only one of the dinner guests who actually spoke. (Celestia didn't say anything, either!) A good job Starlight decided to help Trixie out, though, otherwise this could have been the first ever grimdark episode. :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

Also, Fluttershy got precisely two "words" of dialogue. Come on, guys, this is getting silly now.

Haven't seen it yet, but glad to know it get's your stamp if approval. I really must set time aside for it; Trixie and Starlight are two characters I find fascinating, so their interacting should be fun.
