Alicornication by Sporktacles
(Sex, Comedy, Random)
The 19th Equestrian Alicorn Council is now in session! The Council is the current ruling body of Equestria, on which sits every alicorn in the country. There's just one problem. The council is currently comprised of 84% of Equestria's population. Princess Sugarcoat, the official speaker of the council, investigates just exactly how this state of affairs began. Turns out, it's all Cadance's fault.

Review
The council gets called into order, and they discuss various topics: having representatives instead of a council, stallion alicorns being princes instead of princesses, how everyone came to be an alicorn... And so on, and so on.

This is really well paced, and could not be much better considering the topic. It has very few errors within the text. And it seems like the main ideas were planned out, leaving random comedy to fill in the gaps (which is a good thing by the way). The "Sex" tag can be misleading, though, there is not much for it except comical remarks.

Score: 9.5/10 Recommendation: Highly Recommended.

Personal Thoughts: #Blame Cadance.

Reading Rainbow by Corejo
(Comedy, Slice of Life)
When a freak reading accident causes Twilight to be admitted to the Ponyville hospital, Rainbow Dash is right by her side. Compelled by a sense of duty and repayment, she takes it upon herself to cheer up her friend.

Review
Twilight hurts her eyes trying to read two books at a time, and has to stay at the hospital. Rainbow finds a book, and stays with Twilight to read to her. The book she finds is a poem.

This has pretty great pacing I guess, though it is hard to tell since 2,500/ 4,000 words are the poem. It has very few errors within. And it seems extremely planned out, mostly due to the poem though. The tags work out alright.

Score: 9/10 Recommendation: Recommended if you like poems; Not Recommended if you don't.

Personal Thoughts: So, yeah... read it if you like poems.

Pillow Talk by Jay-The-Brony
(Comedy, Slice of Life)
While hanging out at the Daring Do convention with her fellow fan, Quibble, Rainbow can't help but feel happy about her whole situation. That is, until she happens upon a particular collector's item that she has less-than-flattering things to say about.

Review
Rainbow Dash and Quibble walk through the convention together. Rainbow finds a body pillow, and freaks out. Scootaloo comes up, and confirms Rainbow's fears of kids being affected by it.

The pacing on this one is good for the topic. There are very few errors within the text, which is nice. And it seems rather planned out. The "Comedy" tag is a little odd, but I guess it could be right to some ponies.

Score: 8/10 Recommendation: Intermediate.

Personal Thoughts: Yeah, this one is kinda pointless, and is pretty much a "fans make what they want to, don't judge" fic.
