I hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas today!
Here's a few songs for the season:
So Estee did a thing last week that I thought was a cool idea — sift through your own back catalogue and rank your own stories from best to worst. I found it interesting as a reader to see where the author's opinions differed from mine — so I figured I'd spread the idea and post my own rankings, along with bonus commentary on why I felt the way I did!
So, first, sorry that this isn't about writing. I know that many here wait for updates on my stories and some recent events make it increasingly difficult to get back into a proper writing schedule, but these updates will come as I am slowly getting things back in order. For now, I need to speak about a few things and say a few things that are important for me to say and, frankly, have always been important to say.
Hey Everyone Radiant Sword here and I'm proud to announce that Episode 3 of Radiants Adventures just got uploaded. I will be uploading and episode once a week. So make sure that if you favorite my story you watch it as well that way you will instantly know when i post a new episode. The episode will remain roughly around 3,000*** words an episode unless its a special episode Such as Episode 5 and Episode 10. So sit back relax and enjoy Episode 3.
Been a while since I did a set of recent story reviews. I really need to get back on the horse, so to speak; I spend far too much time doing things that are far less enjoyable than reading pony fiction.

Pony Tale Adventures has been put out to pasture at the C&D ranch. It was a bit disappointing. The art assets, sound, and general introductory scenario were charming (at least on the safe for work version). It's a shame that we will never see the title make it to fruition. That said the end result wasn't a complete surprise.
This episode was obvious pandering to the fans – and that was before they put a ringed panda monster in the episode. Features of the episode include cameos by every major background pony, Derpy speaking, Doctor Whooves actually getting a personality, Steven Magnet’s long-awaited return, and ponies who are totally best friends and not lovers.
Seriously.
Really.
But I think it came at the expense of the plot.
Incoherent Plot
Rules are rules, and scummy as they are, salespony at a car dealership is a job. Actually, let me digress (but later) about that.
For now, what we have here is an unintentional entry into the Not-A-Contest which isn’t related to (but isn’t not related to) my day’s project at the shop which could very well be not a blog entry but a story. With ponies.
Confused? So am I.
Rarity: "Stop the presses! It's Wednesday evening! Mike Cartoon Pony is posting another blog on unused Season 5 episodes! Forget these dresses for a client coming in an hour, this is The. Most. Important. Thing!"
Starlight: "Oh, I'm sorry, MLP writers, was that archival freezing beam meant for my backstory? Yeah, no, we're not doing that. Looks like you just tossed out all the plot setup across this season's map episodes! What a shame…"
Spike: "This thing again, huh? Going right in with the episodes locked to a formula, I see."
Applejack: "Wow Spike, that's mighty insightful of ya. How'd you deduce that so quick?"
So over the past week or so i have been in nothing but a good mood, I've met awesome friends like Lunaisbae, flashlight4everUK , Lonestar_Pony, Lord of Nothing , and so many others. My story was getting positive reviews and i wrote so much that chapters 2-4 are already to be proofread. Made some awesome music i was proud and was generally able to laugh with friends. Yet today my depression hit me like a freight train issue is i don't know how long this episode will last, fear not i will still
Happy Monday, folks! I’m actually writing this on Sunday, in an effort to actually have something done ahead of time; I’m actually hoping to spend Monday trying to work on one of my own stories, trying to get something up towards a real first draft done, so I can actually publish a story. If only I could decide which one to focus on…
Ah, well. In the meantime, enjoy some reviews of some recent tales.

Due to a recent site blog, I'm going to start this out with a big red disclaimer. Publishing AI-generated fics on FimFic is a rule violation. I'm also gonna say for people who just read this and are about to jump to the bottom and start typing 'but whatabout ____________?' I'm not a mod, I don't make the rules, and for better or worse, everything got said in the site blog and doesn't need to be said here. If you do choose to post a 'but whatabout'
Over the years, several fandom YouTubers have created audio productions of stories from the Horse Voice bibliography. These are now very numerous, and so for the convenience of listeners, I have compiled them here.
Many thanks to those who liked my stories enough to create these great renditions.
