She · 12:11am Oct 12th, 2015

Am I allowed to look at her like that
Could it be wrong when she's just so nice to look at

And she smells like lemongrass and sleep
She tastes like apple juice and peach
You would find her in a polaroid picture
And she means everything to me

I'd never tell
No I'd never say a word
And oh it aches
But it feels oddly good to hurt

She smells like lemongrass and sleep
She tastes like apple juice and peach

Read It Later Reviews #18 – Treehouse, Fluttershy has Tea with Jesus, Open to Interpretation!, Burning Man Brony: Fear and Loathing in Equestria, A Princess by Any Other Name · 10:46pm May 15th, 2015

Yesterday, I read the entirety of Mort and several works of pony fanfiction, and added a thousand words to Mistletrapped.

Today, I read the better half of Pyramids and several works of pony fanfiction, and shall add another thousand words, if not more, to Mistletrapped.

Seems I’ve had a couple of pretty good days here, doubly so as I enjoyed several of today’s stories.

Today’s stories:

Treehouse by Present Perfect

Read It Later Reviews #34 – The New Crop, One Tenth-Bit, The Changeling of the Guard, Through the Eyes of a Soldier: Taking Hill 790, The Little Things · 10:41pm Oct 22nd, 2015

The Royal Guard is forever searching, forever seeking, and as one of its baleful eyes, so am I.

Though, ironically, I have about twice the pass rate of the average Royal Guard reviewer. So much for hating everything. :trixieshiftright:

Today we have three stories from the queue, along with two other pieces that I selected for my own reading enjoyment.

The New Crop by xjuggernaughtx

Fourth Featured Story Achieved! · 4:07am Dec 16th, 2017

Yet again, thanks to everyone for making Vice Principal Luna Has Pretty Eyes a hit! I never would've thought one of my embarrassing junior high stories would've gotten me so many likes on FiMFiction, but it goes to show that inspiration can come from the strangest places. I'll definitely write the other two someday, and know that Dean Cadance Has A Cute Laugh is practically begging to be an awkward Shining Armor fic. Because falling head over heels with a girl over something

Read It Later Reviews #79 – Twice As Bright, Sparkle Date Me, “Special” Delivery, The Bounce Test, Shut Up · 7:06pm Jun 27th, 2017

Back in April, I started on a set of Read It Now reviews. I ended up reading a couple stories for it, and then forgetting I had started a review set and never finishing it.

Today, as I went to read some recent stories, I realized that I had an unfinished review set, and as it wasn’t really quite timely, I merged it into this.

Podcasts · 4:13am May 21st, 2018

I love podcasts. They're like audiobooks with character and panache. They range from funny to serious, light-hearted to grim, fictitious to factual. Plus, they're really convenient entertainment for long road trips, cleaning the house, or being sat next to weird Uncle Jim at Thanksgiving. Here's a list of some of my favorite podcasts, along with a short description. If you see one you like, why not give it a go?

In this set, I started reading GaP Jaxie’s The Third Wheel, a series of five AU fics set in the same world, plus I read a smattering of other stories.

Pardon my dust, it has been a while since I last posted one of these. Been spending far too much time doing things that matter far less and feel very ephemeral in retrospect.

But no matter! Time to get cracking.

Hap Recommends Even More Scribblefest #4 · 4:11pm Mar 10th, 2016

Back again for more recommendations from the EFNW 2016 Scribblefest. I've managed to scavenge a fair bit of variety for these three, which is pretty neat, and maybe you'll find something you might enjoy giving a read.

If you've not already checked out some of the other blog posts I've done, be sure to give them a look: there are some pretty decent stories in some of my previous recommendation blogs, so do give them a look if you have the time. And now, onwards!

This was originally destined to be Read It Now Reviews #93, and was mostly written all the way back in September.

Then I kept on putting off finishing reading A Confederacy of Dunce Caps for no good reason.

Today, I found the time to finally finish it off… but by this point, now is really later.

Still, that’s no excuse not to post reviews!

Read It Now Reviews #75 – Songs Like Snow, Making an Old Lady Cry (and other hazards of espionage), Constants, True Ascension, Growing Pains · 8:37pm Mar 21st, 2016

I’ve been a bit lax of late on reading new stories as they go up on FIMFiction; the first story in this set went up on my birthday, more than two weeks ago, and I think the latest was up several days ago. Still, better late than never, right?

Though maybe not in something called read it now. Apparently this is more read it nowish.

Still, this started out as such, so a Read It Now it shall remain!

Songs Like Snow by Ghost of Heraclitus

Then, perhaps, do some reading?
