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.
Today’s stories:

The Magician and the Detective by Bad Horse
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…
Today’s stories:
Colors of the Soul by Monochromatic
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.
Today’s stories:
The Birds and the Bees by Scantrel
All of It, For Her by Pav Feira
Ave Sonata by Majin Syeekoh
We Who With Songs Beguile by Loganberry
The Regular by Ruirik
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 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.
Apparently my birthday is a good day to read pony stories.
The stories I read today:

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?

All Good Things by Coronet the Lesser

Ponies All The Way Down by ObabScribbler
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.

The Holiday at the End of the World by KitsuneRisu
I wrote a piece of original fiction over the weekend – the first such piece I’ve written since late 2013. I had some fun writing it, and I think I shall be doing more of it and see how it goes.
But don’t think that means I’m giving up on ponies. Original fiction is business. Ponies? Are fun.
Speaking of fun, I reviewed five more stories, including one that really impressed me.

Well lads, it's time for me to take a break from being in Sad and Tired Land to go to Excited but Nervous Land. Why, you ask?
Because me and Wanderer D are hosting a panel this Saturday at Ponyfest Online!
When: 6:30 EST.
Where: Ponyfest Discord Server
There are times, my friends, when you feel the zeitgeist – the spirit of the times – and you must write.
For George Orwell, it produced Nineteen Eighty Four, as he viewed the creeping totalitarianism of the world around him.
For me, it produced The Collected Poems of Maud Pie, written in a single night while channeling Maud.
And for Admiral Biscuit… for Admiral Biscuit, it produced… this.
I originally started this review set on April 15th. I got three stories done, and then forgot I had started a set. By the time I got back to it, it was the end of June, so I figured I probably should move them over to a Read It Later review set.
And then sat on it for another month.
Horizon publishing a story this morning, along with a request from someone who had gotten a featured story, spurred me to finish this set.
Today’s stories:
Auk-ward… by Estee
Back in December, when I first started this set of reviews, I wrote:
It is very easy to try and write reviews of a lot of short stories. It lets you get through large numbers of works in a short period of time… but it also means you’re avoiding many of the longer works, many of which I added to my Read It Later list because they were supposed to be quite good. What is the point of having such stories on your list if you are always going to put off reading them?
