19 more days before the milk is gone...
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.

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.
It's been almost a full year since I've actually written new content for Pony-Me. That chapter published back in August was the very last chapter I had in my little stash of chapters that I originally intended to have serve as a buffer zone between moments when I'd be unable to write for whatever reason.
Haha, who could've known that they'd be the only chapters I'd write for a long, long time.
Not the action, mind you, but forcing myself to actually do it. It's doubly hard when the stuff you're working on is just fine, but you came up with a much better idea for how the story should go.
Blegh.
Stay classy.

Ok so as you know over past few months I've been cranking out blogs and stories. Well sadly its time for me to take a hiatus. For how long i don't I'v reached a point in my life where I'm done with everything. I only drink liquids, i don't eat, and i'm never in a good mood. Again I don't know how long this hiatus will be and i expect to loose followers. I just can't go on like this...i need to take some time to...reflect on my lfe and my past transgressions. I love you all and i'll see you
I know I probably don't have to write these every time delays happen, but I like to keep you guys informed ^^ and I guess I can some day look back and see how many times I delayed in my schedule?
Anyway, no chapter Sunday, or at least I don't think so. I haven't gotten far with it because of assignments in school, and we haven't even properly started the group stuff :/ I'm gonna get busy... XD
Sorry for the wait, but I have to do this stuff ^^
Ever have trouble finding pseudoephedrine because of pesky government restrictions on buying America's favorite nasal decongestant due to stupid meth-heads trying to synthesize meth from it?
So were the authors of this paper, who came up with an entirely reasonable and rational approach to solving the problem:
I actually got advanced warning about this reading through Twitter, but yeah here it is!
It’s by Spinothesaiyanhog on youtube, but he goes by Steven1992 on fimfiction with an assist from Scribbler with some voices!
LISTEN AND ENJOY
No time like the present to review more stories, eh?
I actually read so many stories I had to shuffle a couple stories out of this review set into the next one.

WE DID IT ...For now
It has been a while since I did a set of Read It Now reviews. I actually started this one all the way back in March, and then forgot about finishing it out until this weekend, when I decided to get another review set done and actually read some recent stuff.
Today’s set contains a pair of episode reaction stories, a story with an interesting premise about Celestia and her ability to see the future, a story about Chrysalis sending Cadance a letter, and a story about… well, wingboners.
I actually had this set done yesterday, but I forgot to post it. As such, you can all expect to get another set of reviews this weekend.
Today’s stories:
Daring Do and the Goggles of Shipping by CoffeeMinion
Last Words by BlazzingInferno
Keskiyönnon by Bradel
To Whom It May Concern by Pascoite
Lost and Never Found by Oroboro
Summer is upon us, and you know what that means. Free from the shackles of the educational institution, bored and attention-starved teenagers crawl onto the net in droves to socialize 24/7 and (often) get stirred up in all kinds of shit. Fimfic, sadly, doesn't have the good fortune to be exempt from it. I don't think we can complain too much, though. It does make for a lot of good material. Which is, of course, always nice.
24,331 words.
That is the present length of Mistletrapped, whose first draft I have, at long last, completely finished, all the way through the epilogue.
I’m going to be editing it over the next few days, but you should expect the entire rest of that story to be posted somewhere within the space of the next week or so.
This came from a pretty eclectic variety of sources; two writeoff stories, a story from a writeoff writer which is unrelated to the writeoff, a featured story, and a random story that got recommended to me by Sharp Spark. Quite the variety pack of stories - but how will they hold up?
Spoiler alert: reasonably well.

Just As Planned by billymorph
Family Resemblance by HapHazred
The Knight and the Knave by Trick Question
I’ve been remiss in doing reviews (and reading ponyfics, for that matter), and I figured I’d change that today. I actually have two sets of these ready – both this, and a Read It Later set that I’ll be posting tomorrow. Hopefully, all of this reading will encourage me to get some more writing done of my own.
Today’s stories:
Why Can’t I Be Your Rara? by Oroboro
In the Dark of the Night by Dragonjek
The Trial of Fluttershy Flutters by Masterweaver
Okay, I seriously need a break from everything. Internet, YouTube, stories, technology, everything.
I once told my good friend Professor Plum that I could make any Rarity ship work, damn it, and he asked if he could put that to the test by commissioning me. Even though I don't take commissions, I agreed because I wanted to see if I could do it.
I figured I'd preview it for y'all.
EDIT: Thanks to FOME for suggesting changing Prada to Rara in the title
