Blog Number 79: "How a Fan Should Behave" Edition

Now, I like to think (but don't necessarily think) I'm a lot of things: open-minded, civil, reasonable without being a perfectionist, amiable, encouraging, a provider of constructive feedback and moderately intelligent insight.

These are principles I want to uphold, because I'd rather make a little slice of Heaven on Earth, so to speak, and that tends to require us being generously disposed to each other.

Before anyone asks, no, I’m unaffected by Hurricane Laura. I’d call it “dry as a bone”, but the humidity in the area would make me eat those words.

These days I’ve spent more time brainstorming than actual writing. BPH has been the exception, but it takes up only 3 out of 7 days of my writing efforts. At this point I’ve foolishly given myself four projects at once, which I knew was too much. Seriously, folks, what’s wrong with me?

We don't get that many new authors in the fandom anymore, and not as many readers are around to help boost readership for new authors, but the good news is there still are people discovering ponyfic, and there are some you probably haven't heard of that could use your attention on their stories. And they deserve it! I don't read too much outside of whatever I'm reviewing, so I don't get a lot of exposure to newcomers, but there are a couple who've lately caught my attention, because they've

Yet again I find myself with nothing important or particularly interesting going on. Which I suppose is a good thing: nothing means no bad things, yes? So for this week I figure I’ll talk about my ongoing writing progress.

Good author Cynewulf is open for writing, editing and workshopping commissions to help offset some medical expenses!

Caught the crud this past week. I think I’m at the tail end of it, but the combination of symptoms has not been pleasant. Terrible timing too, as the last thing I want to do is get my Japan-born niece sick over Easter. Still debating on whether I’ll take that risk.

Hah! Guess what I almost forgot to do today! :V

Ceffyl Dwr is calling it quits. :C At least he left us with some good reads and a blog with a funny title.

Here we are, my final review blog of 2016, and I have nothing to report. :B Well, other than that last expansion of Sentinels showed up at my house not half an hour ago, when I hadn't expected it until Tuesday. :D

I hit one more milestone in this journal! You can head below for reviews of Sounds of Lunacy by The Engineer Pony, Sharkrags' Moonstruck, Lapidify: To See and Die by Impossible Numbers, a bunch more stories, and the promised stats. :) Happy new year!

As we rapidly approach the most wonderful time of the year, I find myself on a search. What, Christmas? No, no, no, you silly person.

I mean Halloween.

Looks like ScarlettBlade is calling it quits. :( He's been around forever, though, I guess can't complain if he feels it's time to move on.

But hey, Scribbler's still around, and her latest reading is Skywriter's Roaming, with Clever Hooves, StarryFlame and NeighratorPony!

My newest reading, for the Month of Macabre, is KitsuneRisu's babytails! It was just about the most intense fic reading I have ever done, at that.

Neighrator Pony's newest reading, also for the Month of Macabre, is JMac's Skittish!

Hello again, all you horsefans. It seems I’ve been losing a lot of time this month, with reasons ranging from burnout to vacations to a sudden onset of Starbound Obsession, but as of this week I’m finally starting to turn the ol’ grindstone again. My top priority remains BPH, but I’m also working on a few other projects. After much indecision and uncertainty, I’ve set my sights on finishing that ocean-bound story I started last year, Fortune, although I’m rebuilding the concept from the

Hey folks! Welcome to the index for Recommendsday. After nearly three years, I've realized I can't accurately keep track of things. Sure, there's a bookshelf that includes all of the stories, but it doesn't help line up story and author with post. So: this index. A hopefully easier way to search and sort. Obviously this will be updated as time goes on and more are added. Anyway, have a good one and enjoy the reading!

Yet another blog I've been meaning to get around to for months, and finally here I am with some time to type it out. This round, I've got a trio of authors who have a fairly substantial following already, but they're borderline cases. They deserve more followers, yes, but they also don't have that critical mass where they regularly get a lot of views on new things they publish. They're also not new authors, so most people who'd read this probably already know about them, but maybe this will get

Some weeks, I have this planned out well in advance and specific choices I want to show off. Other weeks are like this one where I sit down, look at my prepared backlog, and throw it all out because I feel like featuring Scootaloo because damn it I can do that if I feel like it.

And I feel like it.
