I'm just blogging this story by someone because I think it's unusually good fimfic, a standout. · 12:09am Nov 27th, 2023

EThe Piper at the Gated Lawn
Snails has a secret: a secret power only he can wield, a secret batch of knowledge only he can grasp, a whole secret world over which he rules as an absolute monarch. Secret except, y'know, it's right there on his flanks...

This story provides Snips and Snails a great backstory, interesting personalities, an entertaining and very convincing first person narrator character voice, and quite a fun and often funny plot.

The Closet #5: Butterscotch Cream · 8:19pm Jun 12th, 2022

Howdy, hi, this is DaOtterGuy, and welcome to The Closet!

This will be a weekly Sunday Blog Posting to share and recommend my favourite LGBT+ fics on the site. The basic rules are that it has to be a story I've read, be LGBT-focused, and can't be my own.


This Sunday we have an Original Character entry in Sunshine by Butterscotch Cream!

Random Story Recommendations — Issue #II · 4:28am Dec 4th, 2015

Hey look. Roman numerals. Aren't I pretentious.

Whatever. Here’s some story recommendations.

(For the record, the first review was actually written when the story was still in the "New Stories" box, but I'll be holding off publishing it until I have a few other stories I wanna recommend. So if it's gotten more popular over the ensuing weeks… then… who cares, exactly. Get off my case.)

Some fic recomendations · 8:45am Jan 20th, 2016

Not usually a big person for doing this but I feel like referring a few fics that aren't getting the love they deserve, don't expect in depth analysis I've never been one to do so as it often lessens the joy I get from reading.

Let's do this.

Blog to recommend · 7:24pm Sep 3rd, 2015

I would like you all to meet this lovely lady:
Anniethorbo.
She's been with me since my early Tumblr days and she's been one of my greatest friends. She's just getting started on FiMFiction but with any luck she'll get into MLP and we can all give her a proper welcome.

Here's her Tumblr. It's awesome.

So yeah, Annie, this is your shout-out.

Fic Recommendation: Scarlet · 5:05am Jan 16th, 2020

So, this isn't quite a review, but I've had it with this story not getting the attention it needs.

TScarlet

Why You Should Read ... Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium · 8:34pm Nov 10th, 2017

So I'm trying something new today here at Unusual Things. I've had the idea for a post series like this in the back of my head for a while now, and while it's not going to be a regular series like Being a Better Writer is, I do hope it might be an occasional counterpart.

some random albums · 8:18pm Jan 9th, 2021

If you guys have followed me for a while, you'd know that once upon a time, I would dole out a post that highlights all the progress I've done and all my plans for the corresponding month. I would also headline them with a set of album covers that I've been listening to that month, though it never went beyond that.

This is a post that will go beyond that.

Awesome, sweet new story (not by me). . . · 10:16pm Jul 21st, 2012

Church, while he may deny it modestly, is an amazing writer. He's just started a new diary style story from the point of view of Rainbow Dash's mother which I can't recommend enough. It's beautiful and sweet so far, though with Church there's no telling the direction it might go. He can be a strange one sometimes, our Church.

You should take a look at Her Mother's Diary.

Non Existent Arc Title: The Seamount Mire · 1:39am Aug 6th, 2016

For those interested, this short arc that introduces both Scootaloo and my take on Seaponies were taken from these stories. Moreso "The Shadow over Innsmouth" but "Dagon" is just my favorite short Lovecraft thing to introduce the way things are described and while I may be combining the ideas of probably Inception, the Emotional Spectrum (and therefore the Green Lantern Corps), elements of anime (particularly Bleach's more flashy bits and literally the soul weapons are literally soul reaper

BUCK it, I'm blogging someone's story just because I think it's fun and good and well-written. · 2:09am Oct 16th, 2022

Edited to add: In view of the second seven chapters that were added to the story after the first seven, this story still has many good qualities, but some of the additions are not exactly 'fun' in the most direct sense. I still recommend it as an interesting AU, though.

When a story that is imho good and more fun as a story and better written than most fimfiction.net stories just doesn't fit the demographic and gets an amazingly low number of reads...(at least so far)
