And I'm back for round 2! I've gotten through another three stories that have all been submitted to the 2016 Scribblefest and I'm going to give my own thoughts regarding whether I liked them or not and who I'd recommend them to, depending on your tastes. Hopefully a few of you will find something cool to read from these blogs, and if you already found something you enjoyed, please post it in the comments below, so I can make reading it a priority.

I've done my best to find some different tags this time around for round 3. This time, I have a rather wider variety of stories that I read. I've got a dark tag, a comedy tag, a romance tag, a random tag, a horror tag, even, and of course, another slice of life tag. With a bit of luck, this batch should be a lot more varied, and might interest a few more of you. Let's begin!

So, about a month ago, I blogged about some of my favourite stories written by some of my favourite people on fimfiction, and I put up a little gallery of those stories on my user page.

I promised I'd rotate the stories in there occasionally. So I'm doing that now. Here are my new recommendations:

It is extremely important to have critical thinking skills, especially in this time in history where so much false information is circulated through social media sites and the internet as a whole. It's easy to get caught up in believing rumors, questionable facts circulated through Wikipedia or other community edited encyclopedias, fake news reports from both official news stations and internet news reporters, and really just any of the data you take in on a daily basis.

There have been lots of people who, out of the kindness of their heart (or sheer boredom), have chosen to read Fullmetal Pony and drop a line. Seeing those comments, questions, and demands to know when the next update would be have warmed my heart and pushed me to work a little more each day on chapter three's segments. I've made steady progress on parts one, two, and four, plus titles for all four segments.

So...would it be presumptuous of me to cheer when I see this on the homepage?

I've decided to add a list of some of my favourite stories by some of my favourite people to my user page.

Here it is: Favourites

I'll be rotating the stories in this list occasionally, not on any particular schedule, and probably avoiding M-rated stories.

So a couple of months ago, I started blogging recommendations of some of my favourite stories by some of my favourite people on fimfiction. Here's my September recommendations and October recommendations, so it seems to be about time for November!

How To Get Dah Ladies - 100% Success Rate!

I bet you fine gentleman are wondering how to get all of the ladies. Well look no further than this tutorial. I've got your back.

So what you will need is:

1. A large supply of chocolate. Get white chocolate too, just in case the lady is allergic to regular chocolate. You can also get that fake chocolate stuff too but, eh, it is not as effective.

Apparently getting sick means that after I recover, I become more powerful productive.

I knew it was worth picking up the Anime Protagonist perk at level 1.

So I found a thread talking about FIMfiction, and they happen to have a list of stories they recommend as a place to start,

I can personally say The Best Night Ever, Hard Reset, Mendacity, and Arrow 18 are all great fics, so the list is promising to me. Consider checking a story you haven't read, especially if it's in a genre you favor.

With season 5 over, it is time for people to release their reaction fics. I expect that this season finale will be fertile ground for fanfics for many months to come. I myself have some ideas, but I am going to try and push out a lot of stories I’ve got in my pipeline first.

Of course, there’s another writeoff coming up in just a few weeks, so maybe it won’t be such a long delay after all…

I actually wrote this the same day as I finished up Read It Later Reviews #88. It’s been a long time since I actually got ahead on review sets. It’s crazy! What’s next, me actually publishing another story?

Thought this blog series was long dead? So did I!

Overall, my passion for this fandom has definitely cooled over the past few years, and even my enthusiasm for the endless possibilities of fanfiction has ebbed. Over this past year or so, I even started picking up real, non-pony books again (and finishing them!) in situations where I'd traditionally be reading a fanfic on my phone instead.

Estee has written a lot of stories, and I’ve ended up reviewing a lot of things they’ve written. As I was writing this, I believed that I was down to the last five (finished) stories in the Triptych verse, and so I decided to devote a review set to finishing out Estee’s stories.

Turns out I miscounted, and there’s still one more left.

Thought I’d get some work done for the Royal Guard and read a few pieces I’d been putting off reading for a long time.

Hello again. This time around I've been trying to look for stories that got less exposure than some of the others I looked for in the hopes of finding some really good ones that might have simply fallen by the wayside. Unfortunately, that plan seems to have backfired since a few of them didn't really do much for me. However, this is why I haven't read other, heavily viewed stories with very large ratings. In fact, some of these stories had so few votes that they simply didn't show up.

To be really honest with you, I had a hard time not putting this one on the top shelf. But a while ago I decided to be more strict on what goes where, and even though it comes close, Not The Hero isn't quite on par with, say, Background Pony or The Immortal Game. Sorry, alarajrogers. It's probably mostly because it's not finished yet, to be honest. Once it's

I spent pretty much all of Sunday reading Scribblefest entries, and this is going to be the last Scribblefest-centric review post. On the whole, the finalists had a number of very decent stories, and while I didn’t end up writing a review of every story, I did manage to write reviews for a good number of them.

As always, note that I am but one of nine Scribblefest judges, so my word is not the last one on these.
