Everyone knows one. Everyone has read one. A lot of folks have written one; I've written three or four. Sometimes they die while we're reading and then it screeches to a halt, and like cartoon characters whose car just drove over the cliff, we hover in place waiting forever for something more that doesn't come, until we look back and finally realize what's happened. Or sometimes we find its corpse lying 45 pages into the category, a gem buried in the turds of more active but far less talented

My next summer review is for a fairly famous writer, but this particular story of his is one that I really think that people should read more.

I like to read.

A lot.

You should too! At least, I'm assuming you do, if you're hanging out on a fanfic-based community. And you should read. Read things other than fanfic, even!

Because sometimes, reading non-fanfic offers an opportunity to make your fanfic better. Which brings us to Jo Walton's Tooth and Claw.

Sex.

We write about, dream about it, talk about it. Sex and sex appeal is, and likely will continue to be, a multi-billion dollar industry. Many of the most famous people in society are not famous for any sort of skill. Be it in business, politics, the sciences or sports. No, they are famous for having sex appeal, and it can be a tool, a weapon, or a liability depending on the context.

Much of my work - like The Iron Horse or the recent "Spirit of Radio" - deals with the impact of technology on society. A very recent story here on the site takes this theme and creates a beautiful tale of change and hope as well as of loss and nostalgia. It's quite short and very readable, so I highly recommend this tale

Ladies. Gentlemen. I require your input.

I want to bake so bad. I'm in the mood for cookies and / or brownies. Something sweet, as you do. I really want to try make something with chocolate or peanut butter as the base ingredient. I require satisfaction for the sweet tooth!

So, as such, I'm asking if anybody has or knows about any recipes they'd like to recommend to me to try out! I'll post pictures if I do it!

Overall. Just like watching a FiM ep. Except a really strange one.

Ha!

Yes, after over a year and several false starts I finally, finally have proper art for The Bridle Path. As most of you know, that story was the very first story I wrote, not only here on FimFiction, but in general. Despite its errors and flaws, it still holds a very warm place in my heart and it always does me good to see a notification about it cross through my alerts.

As you've probably already heard, the Royal Canterlot Library has officially shuttered its doors. In my case, it was a case of the pandemic kicking me in the teeth and never quite getting my rhythm back. But before I close that chapter of my part in the fandom completely, I may as well make up for lost time.

Apologies for the lack of updates lately in the reading corner series - with my full time new job and my health I haven't had the time nor the energy. so today's work is hijacked written with love by my long suffering much adored editor.

Hidden gem.

The phrase conjures up all kinds of things, doesn't it? Does it make you think of a story in particular? Link it down below as your recommendation!

Write on,

Bolo

For many of you that word means an odd South American weapon, or a type of western tie. But to some of us who are in the know, that word brings to mind a weapon. A weapon not just of power and might, but of duty and honor, pledged to be humanity's ultimate knights among the stars.

I speak of the members of The Dinochrome Brigage, the Bolo AI super tanks.

Overall. You can't spell tolerance without four holes. And you can't spell 'love' or 'Ocellus' without two holes. Think about it.

My breathing comes in heaves. He watches me with a completely neutral expression. His father was an infiltrator. He must have had lessons.

“Fuck,” I whisper.

“Language,” she whispers back.

It's by a very good friend of mine. It's fun, it's random, it's had less than 300 views, but those people who have read it seem to have loved it. (Seriously, take a look at the upvote/downvote ratio — very few of my stories can compete with that.) And I count myself in that group — I enjoyed reading it muchly.

I'm still working on new chapters of Into the Black, Sledgehammer, and the weird SpikexChrysalis wedding fic with a too-long title.
MORE IMPORTANTLY I found a super-dope musician you should check out; the name's Jeff Burgess & the Bad Mares and they make smokin' qual stuff like this and this and this and it's buxom and beautiful.
