Happy Memorial Day! I was planning on having a story ready for today, but ended up getting distracted with reading pony fanfics instead. But hey, six of one, half a dozen of the other, right?

Been a while since I did one of these! Five recent(ish) stories, five reviews. Let’s get cracking before this becomes a Read It Later review set, eh?

Today’s Read it Now Reviews are brought to you by procrastination. Procrastination – where you get everything done except the thing with an actual due date.

Though at least it finally made me catch up on SS&E’s recent works, read a few RariLight stories (a ship that I have long-neglected to read many stories about), and make more progresss on Mistletrapped.

The Writeoff Association is a great way to produce a large volume of work. Unfortunately, at times it can also be a great way to produce a large volume of stories that you wrote in a short period of time and then need to spend some time cleaning up, resulting in a large backlog of stories which need some serious editorial love.

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…

The folks I follow have been busy of late. Seems like it is time for yet another set of recent story reviews!

It amazes me that I managed to end up over 30 review sets ahead on Read It Now reviews relative to Read It Later reviews. I suppose it is often easier to read a spate of recent stories than to attack the long stories that seem to heavily populate my high priority shelves, definitely not because I procrastinate on reading them…

But, well, this time I decided I’d read a couple of ~10k word recent stories, in addition to some shorter ones. We’ll see how it goes!

You know, normally after a period of inactivity, folks would say that they climbed back on the horse, but in Equestria, that sounds a little bit dirty.

These are some of the stories I read while I was also reading stories for the FlutterDash contest.

Getting back into the swing of things! Five new stories, five new reviews, all in the span of just a couple hours of work. Glad to see a number of folks are writing new stuff, as I’m always happy to see things from folks I follow.

It has been a while since I put out one of these, but I’ve been reading up a storm in the last few days and decided to stop being lazy and start writing reviews again. I’ve got about half of another review set done at this point as well, so hopefully I’ll have more soon. Possibly even some stories, as I have a couple which are presently in editing stages.

But enough of the future, it is time for the recent past!

In a sudden fit of productivity, I decided that it was time for me to actually finish a story yesterday and post it. It won sixth place in the last write-off, out of more than fifty entrants, and was within just a few fractions of a point of second place. I thought it was a bit unlike what I usually write - a metafic comedy, referencing the recent stories about fatal teleportation, Saturdays, and various other silly things - but Bradel thought it was in line with The Stars Ascendant in

My computer may be gone, but my reviews shall ever remain. A new computer is en route in many, many pieces, but I am done wallowing in self-pity over the loss of my extended brain.

Time to get some reviews done. You folks have been busy.

Been a while since I did a set of Read It Now reviews; been gleaning a lot of stories off of my high priority read later list. But there were some interesting-sounding recent stories, so I’d take a peek at them.

This is a pretty eclectic set of stories. Two from the featured story box, two from Present Perfect’s recommendation, and one, a crossover written by an author I follow. And no less than two stories with the Random tag.

Let’s take a look, shall we?

Happy Monday, folks! And what a Monday it is. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the eldritch monstrosities from beyond the stars have been beaten back to the far side of the Moon, with everyone’s memories of their attack erased.

Good times.

Shub-Cadurath and Catastrophe. One is a story about a horrible monstrosity from beyond the veil of reality that reduces ponies to gibbering masses. The other story is about Princess Cadance giving birth to Princess Flurry Heart.

This was a rather eclectic set of stories; from a story with tiny cover art to a story about edible ears to a story about nursing, folks come up with some of the strangest things these days.

As mentioned in my blog, the FlutterDash group ran a contest, challenging folks to write a FlutterDash story for a $60 prize.

We got 19 entries. 19!

Apparently people think they’re adorable together. Or at least make a good pair of friends, as a good number of the stories ultimately ended up being more about their friendship than them nuzzling.

Pardon my dust.

Yes, that’s right, I’m back, though I never really left so much as vaguely sauntered just offscreen. I haven’t really been reading a whole lot of stuff, or writing a whole lot of stuff, or really even doing a whole lot of stuff for the last month. I just kind of… vanished. Played a bit of Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard’s new MOBA game… but frankly, that’s not where I’ve been.

I’ve just been gone.
