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. 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.

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[...]

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

I Can Explain!
by Titanium Dragon

Teen, Sex, Comedy
1,033 words

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Hello gents and gentesses. We did this last year and we're doing this again, although admittedly I won't be able to go through nearly as many stories as last time due to this being my final year in university and me being busy as all get-out. What am I doing, anyone who wasn't with us last year may be asking? Well, I participated in this years Everfree Northwest Scribblefest 2017, and in a grand and magnanimous show of solidarity I like to review my own opinions of some entries as well as try

Back for round five. Lets see what this latest batch has to offer! We've got a bit more slice of life again (which is absolutely no problem for me: just leaves the Dash award even more open for Weatherpony, if you ask me!) but the theme that dominates this round is actually mystery, which I wasn't expecting.

If you've not already checked out some of the other blogs I've done like this, you can check them out here:

More exciting news — this time, adjacent to Horizon words rather than about them!

Overall. Came for the pretty pony picture. Stayed for the verbal visuals.

Best lines:

“Indeed, polyester! Of course it’s polyester.” Flaire whinnied a shrill laugh.

A sob punched Flaire in the gut.

Overall. I'm speechless. Which is a disadvantage when giving reviews.

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:
