    [NEW FIC] Back to writing ponies! (...sorta)

    tl;dr - I put ponies in another fic, but only for a few chapters

    So, real quick, minor confession...this fic is actually one of my oldest, and it's not on this site.

    Hey, easy, easy, let me explain.

    [UPDATE] It's like being nibbled to death by cats

    This chapter is a straight up continuation of the previous chapter, and there's literally zero time skip, unlike most of my chapters in this fic. So much so, in fact, that what had originally been two separate chapters (Gilda fights Sunset, sleepover happens) had to be combined into one because the "Gilda fights Sunset" chapter was going to be too long. It was during the

    [UPDATE] Yes, you saw that right, new chapter

    Not much to say about this one that the notes at the bottom of the chapter itself don't already say. Obviously, my health is much better and my sleep is improving to the point where I'm not having to take medication for it nearly as often. Work is going pretty good (I'll post about that at some point, it deserves its own post) and I've gotten HYPER into The Lost Tomb, which if you haven't read it

    [UPDATE] When you get medical confirmation...

    So I've said in my rather sporadic updates that I've been going through a lot, and I believe I've mentioned that the things that have been happening have been rather more draining on the ol' spoons than I otherwise expected.

    [UPDATE] Egad, some activity?!

    Yes! I am still plugging away at [REDACTED], it's just somewhat slow going due to life reasons. I'm starting to accept that I'm just never going to be as outlandishly productive as WandererD or n7punk, and I'm working on being okay with that.

[THE LIST] One Mare-velous Story · 10:53pm Jul 10th, 2019

This list is not about my favorite stories of all time. That's my favorites list and one of these days I may get around to writing reviews of those fics.

The List is about stand-out, in-progress works that deserve more love, for whatever reason. In addition to general reviews of the fics, these blog posts will tell why I picked a particular story and highlight any features the reader should look out for. Spoilers will be appropriately marked, so you'll be able to read my reviews with confidence that you'll be able to read the story itself and experience the same surprise and delight I did when I first found it.

Also, authors and fans of works will be able to submit stories. Your particular selection may not make it onto the list, and the more information you give me for why you think it should be featured, the more likely I'll be to read and post it. To submit a fiction, simply PM me through FiMFiction's link on my profile.

The list can be found here: Princess Columbia's List

Girl Talk
by

Premise
When girls talk...sometimes the conversation gets weird.

Princess Columbia's Synopsis
There's honestly not much to spoil. This is one of those fics that embodies "slice of life" so much it might as well be cited in the encyclopedia definition for the term.

Why am I highlighting this fic?
There's two (okay...technically three) stories that fall under this specific heading of "EQG random conversation" stories. One is by (the late and lamented) MythrilMoth, the other is this one. Honestly, as much as I enjoy MythrilMoth's work, there's something his lacks that this story has. What that is precisely is something that would largely be unsupported conjecture on my part, but I have an idea what it is. Point is, while Mythril's work is more popular, I honestly think this one is better.

What makes this fic particularly good?
The conversations feel authentic, even as they're flat out off-the-wall. Anyone who's made it all the way through college will have had at least one conversation that goes off the rails like these conversations.

Who would like this fic?
People who like slice-of-life, character-driven stories will like this. (If you thought Nando v. Movies' video "The Ultron Afterparty" was spot on, then you'll like this fic.)

Also, if you liked my previous recommendation of Adagio from State Farm, you'll enjoy this one as well.

Does the author monetize?2
No, be sure to drop them a line to encourage them to become a filthy, filthy capitalist. :raritywink:


  1. Endorsement on Princess Columbia's List is an endorsement of the selected work of fiction only and is not intended to endorse the creator of the work in any other way.
  2. Why highlight whether the author monetizes their work? By providing renumeration to the author, you often get the opportunity to request certain works be given higher priority. Additionally, when a person is able to get paid for their passion on their terms, it can often allow them to cut out things that otherwise distract from said passion, like a day job.
