I recently picked out this little gem while perusing a Barnes & Noble in Yonkers. I had some spare cash and I haven't had anything to read for a few months (except of course what I could find here on this site), and I needed a dose of some classic fiction to pull my thoughts away from weird fiction. That doesn't mean, however, that I didn't buy a four-inch thick collection of lesser-known writings by H.P. Lovecraft that I happened across. Now, on to a short review of the fantasy novel "Silent

Guys!

Guys!

Guys guys guys!

PoweredByTea[1] has just posted a new story. The Price For Luna! And, oh, guys, has this one been a long, long time coming.

How long? Okay. So I wrote fanfic about this fanfic[2].

In 2013.

Yes.

Okay, so recently I just rewatched the Prince of Egypt by DreamWorks Animation, and at the time I was at a loss to find another cool video to show you guys and gals for this week, until I rewatched the movie (Highly recommend it, if you want a good movie about the story of Exodus starring some very famous and well known voice actors like Ralph Fiennes and Sir Patrick Stewart and some very good songs.) and remembered finding this video out there on the net.

Not much to say, so I"ll just cut and paste the post in:

Not dead yet, but…

not sure what the future of this blog is. We’re stepping out of character for this post.

You’ve never been reliablle, but this is rediculous.

Do any of you know about this? I saw a bunch of videos mention it on YouTube, and as most of them sung praise for it and it looked weird enough, and after reading the general premise, I thought I'd give it a watch. And holy Bob was it crisp! Like, all ten episodes had exceptional animation quality that made the characters and all the weirdness really pop. And boy is it weird, especially with the characters. But it's an endearing weird, for all their quirks and insanity. Wamawink is an absolute

Happy Holidays everyone!

It's that time of year when seemingly everyone on this site publishes a festive story for others, so I figured I'd give it another go. This year, my request was from Whinifree, who wanted a Lightning Dust story written from her POV with Discord involved.

Overall. Ancient, introverted angst struggles in vain to defeat a modern enemy.

Best lines:

She slowed down when passing by the box of foul magic, and kept her eyes on it the whole time, she wouldn’t show weakness to it. The machine responded in kind[...]

Yeah, I actually posted another one of these shortly after the previous one. Don't worry, I have a purpose with this one being so pointed.

Overall. Dost thou propose also to conquer Limestone's frigid abyss?

Best lines:

“Pa!” Limestone bellows. “The dick’s here!”

Something warm and taut brushes up against my side. I look over to see Marble gently pressing up against me, her belly pushing into my coat, looking completely deaf to the outside world.

Sorry folks, it’s been a while since I posted a review set. So I figured I’d start us back off with some of my favorite stories that I haven’t reviewed yet, before I start waving my cane at the kids to get off my lawn.

Today’s stories:

Weeks ago, I started on this set with the intention of including a review of Eternal. Alas, I ended up reviewing five stories before I got around to reading it, and consequently it (along with Skywriter’s Heretical Fictions) got pushed off to another review post.

Why?

Because sometimes, when I’m stuck on a story, I go back and read through stories by others in the hopes of capturing some of their magic.

As promised last weekend, I posted a story this week:

I Can Explain!
by Titanium Dragon

Teen, Sex, Comedy

Rarity explains to Sweetie Belle what the Cutie Mark Crusaders saw when they walked in on her and Applejack.

It was totally innocent. Really!

On Thursday night, at about 6pm, my internet died. Around 10pm, it came back to life.

Fortunately, I downloaded a number of pony stories from FIMFiction, so not all was lost. Still, being without the Internet is a terrible fate, and leaves me feeling diminished, as if I have been cut off from a part of myself.

It has been a while since I’ve done a set of recommended story reviews.

Unlike my usual review sets, in these, I am drawing from stories that I put on my recommended and highly recommended lists before I started reviewing stories.

Today is Election Day in the United States, the crescendo of over a year and a half of people campaigning to be leader of the free world. Be sure to vote, if you haven’t already (I did in mid-October, because here in Oregon, we vote by mail – no waiting around in line, and plenty of time to research the topics while you’re voting).

Recently, I’ve been trying to be more productive. There are all too many times where I’m aware that I’m wasting my time, and I’m trying to make more of an effort to divert said “dumb time” into time where I actually accomplish something of value.

We’ll see how well it goes, but I’ve managed to put out a review set every other day since I started. So, progress, right?

Today’s stories:

I’ve re-read Heretical Fictions a few times over the years, but kept on putting off posting a review of it until after I reviewed Eternal, as Heretical Fictions is a story about Twilight and Celestia reacting to Eternal being published in Equestria. Thus, that story’s review kept getting shuffled forward and forward in time, until finally I reviewed Eternal.

It has been a long time since my last recommended stories post, but I figured that before a nice long three day weekend (at least, here in the states, where Memorial Day is on Monday), some folks might want some good stuff to read.

All of these are taken off my favorites stories list from before I started writing reviews, so all of them are very good stories. Some of you may have read some of these, but if you haven’t, you shouldn’t keep missing out.

My good friend Miss Spectrum has been a Fimfiction member for one year today and she's blogged about it.

Here are some of my favourites of her stories:

Ahh finally... the payoff. I've waited so long for this moment. Also if you want more context, start at the beginning. The story is great for those who love AU Adventure stories about rebelling against an evil goddess-turned-tyrant. And also world flooding. Yeah that's great.
