Story Update, Audio Reading, and Possible Hiatus! · 10:27pm Apr 3rd, 2019

A simple bullet list of stuff this time:
Howdy folks!
With BronyCon in the rearview mirror, I’ve been feeling productive of late. While waiting on Thursday night for my roommates to arrive at the hotel, I started editing an old writeoff story of mine, and managed to finish it off and post it yesterday afternoon:
Sorry for my relative silence this week – I entered into the last writeoff, then read some more writeoff stories, and spent a lot of time writing stories that I didn’t end up feeling quite happy with, and am going to have to heavily revise.
However, I did finally hit on a revision I did like, so I published another story this week!
One other interesting aspect of the Royal Guard queue is that it encourages me to read stories I’d been putting off reading; if a story I’ve been putting off reading ends up on the list, I’ll frequently end up checking it out to see what I’ve been missing. A number of today’s stories came up in this very way.
Today’s stories:
Hello, My Name Is by LoyalLiar
The Great and Showerful Trixie by Pascoite
Living Forever by Whateverdudezb
Apparently “D&D got cancelled” is a codeword for “TD writes reviews”.
And experiences some strange feeling, deep down in his chest.
Is this that thing they call joy?

A Lascivious Rainbow Dash and a Shared Bath in Tomato Broth by HoofBitingActionOverload

I reviewed more than 15 stories yesterday. Today is the second set; you can expect still another tomorrow.

Ladies and Gentlemen, darf is back from his very short hiatus and has done three things on the site that speak for themselves.
Sorry for the dearth of reviews lately; I’ve been busy at work not revising Mistletrapped so I can get the last few chapters posted. Alas, it is very easy to let such a thing displace other things that are more easily achieved, but I’ve been trying to avoid doing easy things instead of buckling down and chewing on hard tasks.
But the release of several new stories by people I follow removed the option of putting this off any further.
Today’s stories:
Dewdrops on the Grass will be proud to present not one, but two long form stories!
First...
Even as I stood I kept my gaze steady on her, sharp pain biting into my heart like a set of fanged jaws. “Amelia, I’m sorry it was my magic–”
“Thank you, Ensign, that will be all,” she cut me off sharply.
You've watched.
“Good. We’ll want to do the same on the Enterprise, then,” he said. “Last thing we need is a warp core breach.”

This is almost a review. It's me telling you to read things and why; that's certainly close enough. Why did I chose the subject of coffee? Well, other than the fact that it is relevant to the things I shall be hurling at you, it is something that people like, apparently.
(Tagging Administrative Angel since its sequel is ONLY in the book until September!)
So, it turns out that Sunday was a really good day for new stories. I read five new stories, and I liked them all.
How did this happen?
How is this even possible?
Who knows.
But I’m liking it.
Today’s stories:
Red Apples by Billymorph
Sometimes Maps are Dumb by HoofBitingActionOverload
Would It Matter If I Was by GaPJaxie
The Last Dreams of Pony Island by Horizon
One Heck of a Case by iisaw
Doctor Disco
presents...
Long desc. Twilight Sparkle: A genius of unmatched proportions, a great friend to many, and proud Captain of the HSS Amity...
But that was another life.
I've been a member of this site since 2012. Like... I just don't even know. That's over four years. Wow.
A lot of people I follow came out with new stories yesterday, and in the spirit of not procrastinating, I actually read them.
Today’s stories:
Breaking Peeved by Bad Horse
All Better Now by OCalhoun
Make It Better by Twinkletail
A Brief Glance at the Papers on Luna’s Desk by Chuckfinley
Peachy Pie and Misty Moon Keep the Realm Safe Until Dinnertime by Pascoite
Sorry about the dearth of posts recently. I told myself that I’d get one of my stories done before I did some other pony stuff, and it turns out I’m really, really good at procrastinating.
On the upside, it did finally force me to actually get my story done! I’ve been sitting on it for far too long – in fact, I started on it before the Season 6 premier, and then managed to procrastinate on it for half a year.
But now it is done, and I am pretty happy with the result.
Still sane, Exile?
Hey, guys!
So yeah, I've been playing a lot of Path of Exile lately. Game's fun. It's free to play on Steam (and Xbox), and the new expansion is coming out on the 7th. So much hype!
Writers have been busy little bees, so it is time for me to be a big busybody.
Today’s stories:
Out of the Loop by OkemosBrony
As I Lay Smiling by shortskirtsandexplosions
Eternity by Taialin
Dead Nuthatch by Present Perfect
Yesterday, All My Tavis Seemed So Far Away by shortskirtsandexplosions
Heyo, folks! Enjoy some past midnight typing from yours truly. This is a threat, of course. Posh did this and so did Jake the Army Guy, so I knew I had to do the thing too. You should check out their versions too.
Expect all relevant story stuff to be spoilered for your sake.
