    The never-ending stor(e)y

    For some reason this is one of the points readers of mine (including off-site ones) have mentioned several times, perhaps because it's one of those Transatlantic divides that isn't all that well known. So: when you're talking about the floors of a building:

    US English: one story, two stories. The same spelling and the same plural as for the other kind of story.

    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

Things what I is doing · 1:01am Jul 15th, 2016

There's a good deal of non-fandom stuff right now that's taking priority, which partly explains why I haven't published a full-length ponyfic since Like a Flower to the World appeared in March. I don't want that to be my newest story on here for too long, since it's far from being my best. The shorter than expected S6 hiatus has thrown a spanner in the works, but I definitely do intend to publish more as and when I can find the time/inspiration/quality to do so. In the meantime, there may be the odd new flashfic or the like in Little Bits

I'm also struggling a bit with keeping up my reading (and reviewing, for those of you who follow Louder Yay). Again, I hope to bring that back up to speed as and when I can. I'll still be reading mostly one-shots as I like them, but there'll be the occasional longer fic in the mix as well. iisaw's The Twilight Enigma is a must-read, and in spite of what may appear to be the case I still haven't actually abandoned AestheticB's The Immortal Game! One day there really and truly will be a review of that. One day...

Other pony-related stuff: UK PonyCon is now only just over three months away. As expected, it's been extremely popular, and both weekend and Saturday tickets have already sold out. There are still Sunday tickets available, if anyone feels like spending £20 on a one-day con. As I've said before, it's not a brony event as such, being an all-gens affair, but there's a very large contingent from this part of the wider MLP fandom. My fandom social life is otherwise just the usual round of local meets every few weeks.

Not much else to report, really! Well, except that Fluttershy is great. As if I needed to tell you.
