Hey, all!
With the new groups being a thing me and my girl GriffinGirlfriend have decided to create Griffin Reviews. Let me warn you it's nothing like all the other reviews (though let's face it, PrinceEric aside no one actually bothers). For ounce thing, out priority will be reviewing stories (we are still working on the Everwhere and the Chosen). Also, as you'll see the reviews are a bit different from what you might expect ;)
And since Tech hasn't thought of this rule yet, I'd like to plug our group to the max! Here's some comments from rulers, celebrities, and famous Nightlings telling you how great the group is!
(Note! These are actually real! No joke! You can ask the Nightlings in question if you don't believe us.)
That's definitely one way to look at it. -RRBB
The approach is foalish, silly, and not at all relevant to proper views. I'd recommend a few books before starting this undertaking. It did make me chuckle in a few places, though. - Prince Twilight Sparkle
Goo goo goo! - Princess Flurry Heart, as reported by Sunburst, Royal Crystaller
This is absurd, but I'll allow it. - The TechNightling
I actually find it relaxing. - Jade
Absolutely hilarious! - Celestia
Mooooom! - LightSparkle (simulation)
If this doesn't get us banned from the site, I don't know what will. - GriffinGirlfriend
My sides! My sides!!! - LyraHands, site creator
So there you have it! Oh and also check the Editor's group. It's pretty neat. ;)
Feather
@Feather: Just so you know, telling others about your group is very much allowed. And on a technical level the activity of the group is perfectly fine. I would have preferred being asked before being quoted, though seeing the way you used my words, I can only say bravo.
@all: Just be sure not to start spamming about your groups everywhere. Respect the original topic of the thread and everything will be fine. And please don't start making threads about your groups outside your groups. I'm discussing creating a section for insite advertising, so that may or may not appear soon.
Thank you for your time,
The TechNightling
@Feather: Okay, you got me :) I laughed out of my nose right on my boyfriend. (Good thing he's as curious as a cat). Can't wait you to start :)
LightSparkle
Well now that Feather has grabbed your attention, let me just say what we'll be doing in our group, as well as give a few brief samples :)
As you can imagine we'll be reviewing, but the reviews have a slightly comedic angle to them. For that reason we're only "reviewing" stories that have made a solace and with the kind permission of the author.
Here's an example:
My Human and I by Brush
Love horse, but am human. What do?
Omc! Horse now human!
Omc! Horse loves me!
Oh, horse lied to me when human. We breakup.
Forever alone.
Love horse. What do?The real thing is a bit longer, as we go through every chapter, and a bit more in length. :) So, if you like it, please join our group :)
GriffinGirlfriend
That's great! :)
@GriffinGirlfriend: Do DDD! Do DDD! That would be so hilarious :)
YouKnowWho
Or maybe Space Molly? :)
@Quarters:I love your story but think it needs to get more exposure. If you're okay, can you let them review it? O:)
SweetStuff
I bet DarkSparkle is foaming in the mouth right now. Expect furious comment in 3...2...
RRBB
Very funny :/ You all waited until I post, didn't you? Well, I'll have you know that I don't approve of such reviews. While they might be amusing, they are creating the wrong impression and possibly endangering their chances for academia.
What you have is a satirical summary created for comedic effect. And yes, I have been asked if my taur stories can be "reviewed" (don't worry, I said yes), but once more I'll say this isn't a review! Please post a notice or disclaimed saying that so any confusion could be avoided.
DarkSparkle
@DarkSparkle: I think it's amusing :)
Celestia
Great. Now I can expect Dark to faint again :/ At least try to wait till I get back, okay?
TrueSparkle
@TrueSparkle: Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things if she faints.
On my end, I approve on the Griffin initiative. I'm even considering writing a story just to have it reviewed : @Feather, @GriffinGirlfriend: Do another!

Space Molly by Quarters
Space, much space. Will ask hot roommate of my brother about going to space to snow I have smarts. *Yay* He said cool. Now must go to space!
Much stars, much wow. Stars sing. I sing back. My singing sucks.
Falling star falls on ship. Star is pony. Pony is sweet and lost, I want to do cool moves on brother's roommate, though.
*yay*! Brother's roommate said let's help star. Now must find star's home...Feather
@Feather: If you dare to ruin my masterpiece I'll give you one in the beak! :/
AwesomePony
@AwesomePony : Wow, much wow! AwesomePony write scribbles. But can't. What do? Go find editor. Much yay! Much joy! AwesomePony hopes to get yayed soon!
RRBB
Wow, just wow! You're terrible, RRBB! :)
SweetStuff
Anypony going to the Crystal Empire? There's something I need to do there and I need a ride...and a hammer.
Grumpy
@Grumpy: hey, chill a bit buddy. At this point I'm not sure if you're a troll or a Brush fanboy :/ Seriously, if you want to help help, but stop posting vague threats, will you? Just because no one has called you out doesn't mean we've not seen it. It just means people are trying to be polite!
LightSparkle
You're scary when you get mad.
@Grumpy, we understand what you're saying, but there's a difference between anger and reason. Trust me I know what it's like to be angry all the time, but you must find ways to control it.
Besides, I doubt Brush would be happy if you hurt somepony she adored.
TrueSparkle
Fiiine. But only for you. I'm still mad. :/
