Thanks, ya'll.
Yesterday I discussed some of my own success this past year as well as thanking a lot of the people who made 2015 a good first year here on FiMFiction. This time, I thought I'd discuss some of my favorite stories from my time here so far. You can already peruse my Favorites, true, and you can also see my list of Top 5 Recommendations, but I thought I'd go into a little more detail.
IN WHICH I AGE AGAIN
It's my birthday (later in the day) and I'm… getting drunker. Sorry I don't have a story ready to go yet. I really wanted to but I had business to take care of this week. So instead, enjoy TheFatRat. Happy Un-Birthday, y'all!!
Only in My Memories
Sometimes, you just gotta write a holiday thing that hits the feels you wanna share.

Somehow, a friend thought I might find this both amusing and relevant.
Please note, though, that not all of the negative feedback I've ever received on a story was of this type. Not by far!

In which Starlight and Pharynx square up to decide the fate of a certain chompy box monster...
Hello everyone! Happy 2024, and all that! Let's all do our best to make it through this one, eh?
Anyway, apologies for the lack of an accompanying blog post for the last chapter, I just... really had nothing to say, so I didn't. In any case, I definitely do with this chapter.
“I need breakfast for tomorrow, but I really don’t want to have packaged dumplings for the third time in a row. But I also don’t have enough time to make breakfast in the morning...”
*light bulb*
“I know! I’ll just make breakfast today and reheat in tomorrow.”
“Eggs and milk and banana and flour and sugar and salt, this can’t not go wrong in the slightest!”
...
“I don’t know how to make pancakes.”
“I don’t have the strength to flip them.”
One, no Christmas story, if that wasn't obvious. I blame myself and.... mostly myself. And Mass Effect! With it's interesting characters and kind of not so good combat and the fact the only alien I can bang if the jailbait from the race of blue lizard-squid lesbians. I want my adorkable gypsy hypochondriac tech fetishist now, not later.
What was I talking about? Oh right, I'm supposed to be a writer. It's in your fucking name!
An incomplete list of people I met:
Bad Horse (he gave me a hat. And many people hats. The Evil League of Evil got a few glances, but while the initial reaction was muted, we made quite the collective impression)
Bradel
Admiral Biscuit
Pav Fiera
Not_a_hat (properly this time)
Cerulean Voice
Corejo
MaskedFerret (she said I’m not as scary as she thought)
Trick Question
Pascoite

I never seem to keep all of this going, do I?
But here I am, Civviq Writer. I am still alive! My time - and drive - have just been dissolved by the exams. They still are being dissolved, by the way. But I'm doing fine. To be honest, I haven't been writing much, and if anything it's mostly for myself, for practice. I think I can say that I have improved a bit.
There are certain chapters of TSJ that are... special, for a particular reason. The three most prominent examples are The Dinner, Family, and The Clubhouse. There are a few others, though.
She just looks so happy!
That wave of kinda fluffy stuff I've been writing?
It ends now.
Enemy of Mine is coming.
Soon.
Really soon.
Super soon, dammit.
The revised Episode 5 of Pony la Pony is up!
Much like the previous revisions, it doesn't change the story or events much at all. It's mostly the way things are written that's changed, more in my style and more... cohesive. In character. I would recommend reading this one again, if only because it was a good chapter to begin with and I managed to make it better.
Title change time!
When do authors hate it the most?
When they've had the same one in their head for years!

Speak chapter 22 is going off to Bro and RoMS. All 3 of us are presently gestures towards her opening line of this blog, so it may be a bit, but hopefully by mid April I can get it out to you all!
So those of you who read my stuff may have noticed a certain link in the description of my latest story. This leads directly to the Right Back At It Again! 2020 Shipping Competition, a contest hosted by FamousLastWords. The goal of the contest was to write about a ship that was popular during the early seasons of the show, these spanning 1-4.
Well, I gave it a shot, and here are the results:
