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?

Ninety is a nice, round number, and the nineties were a rather nice decade.

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.

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!

Read It Later Reviews #58 – Stupid Tree, A Confederacy of Dunce Caps, Minuette Sleeps Her Way to the Top, Page Two · 9:41pm Oct 31st, 2016

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!

Howdy folks!

With BronyCon in the rearview mirror, I’ve been feeling productive of late. While waiting on Thursday night for my roommates to arrive at the hotel, I started editing an old writeoff story of mine, and managed to finish it off and post it yesterday afternoon:

Howdy folks! It’s been a few weeks since I last did one of these. My last set of Read It Later reviews was published on May 8th, so it’s been almost two weeks since then!

Yes, 13 days. Only 13 days. It’s crazy though, because it feels like it’s been more than a year!

Read It Now Reviews #56 – Wait After Knocking, Adaptation, Hurricane’s Champron, Cruel Beauty, This Is Not An Adventure Clyde Story: A Story About Twilight Sparkle · 5:57am Sep 30th, 2015

Sorry for the dearth of reviews lately; I’ve been busy at work not revising Mistletrapped so I can get the last few chapters posted. Alas, it is very easy to let such a thing displace other things that are more easily achieved, but I’ve been trying to avoid doing easy things instead of buckling down and chewing on hard tasks.

But the release of several new stories by people I follow removed the option of putting this off any further.
