DISCORD: "Finally! Oh, you silly little ponies have no idea how infuriating it's been to sit on the sidelines while you all deliver uninspired opening zingers! Well, except for Pinkie, that meta one back for 'Feeling Pinkie Keen' and Twilight's response was gold. Now, I can show you all how it's really done - "
TWILIGHT: "Would you look at that, Spike! Our opening screenshot shows off that most useful of animation principles - smearing! Okay, it's mostly wind, but it counts! How often do you see that in Flash?"
SPIKE: "..."
TWILIGHT: "...you don't know what smearing is, do you?"
SPIKE: "...No..."
Sorry for the dearth of reviews lately; I’ve been busy at work not revising Mistletrapped so I can get the last few chapters posted. Alas, it is very easy to let such a thing displace other things that are more easily achieved, but I’ve been trying to avoid doing easy things instead of buckling down and chewing on hard tasks.
But the release of several new stories by people I follow removed the option of putting this off any further.
Today’s stories:
So, it turns out that Sunday was a really good day for new stories. I read five new stories, and I liked them all.
How did this happen?
How is this even possible?
Who knows.
But I’m liking it.
Today’s stories:
Red Apples by Billymorph
Sometimes Maps are Dumb by HoofBitingActionOverload
Would It Matter If I Was by GaPJaxie
The Last Dreams of Pony Island by Horizon
One Heck of a Case by iisaw
A lot of people I follow came out with new stories yesterday, and in the spirit of not procrastinating, I actually read them. 
Today’s stories:
Breaking Peeved by Bad Horse
All Better Now by OCalhoun
Make It Better by Twinkletail
A Brief Glance at the Papers on Luna’s Desk by Chuckfinley
Peachy Pie and Misty Moon Keep the Realm Safe Until Dinnertime by Pascoite
Sorry about the dearth of posts recently. I told myself that I’d get one of my stories done before I did some other pony stuff, and it turns out I’m really, really good at procrastinating.
On the upside, it did finally force me to actually get my story done! I’ve been sitting on it for far too long – in fact, I started on it before the Season 6 premier, and then managed to procrastinate on it for half a year.
But now it is done, and I am pretty happy with the result.
Writers have been busy little bees, so it is time for me to be a big busybody.
Today’s stories:
Out of the Loop by OkemosBrony
As I Lay Smiling by shortskirtsandexplosions
Eternity by Taialin
Dead Nuthatch by Present Perfect
Yesterday, All My Tavis Seemed So Far Away by shortskirtsandexplosions
RAINBOW DASH: "I look like I have a mohawk blowing in the wind, don't I? Yeah, I think I just got about 20% cooler."
FLUTTERSHY [off-screen]: "What? But, um... I thought you said it was lazy and uninspired to just quote fan-loved moments for these intros..."
FLUTTERSHY: "I'd like to be a tree."
RAINBOW DASH [sighs]: "Fluttershy, I'll let you off this time because that's such a iconic, fan-loved moment, but we need to have a serious talk about how to do these captioned intros."
RAINBOW DASH: Still think I'm all ego and hype? When Rainbow Dash says she's the most athletic pony in Ponyville, she means it!
This about sums up how I’ve been feeling these last few days:
Today’s stories:
Lies and Lyres by King of Beggars
So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish by Blueshift
Orange Is The New Blue by Estee
Time to Talk by Jay-The-Brony
Observatory Hill by Skywriter
DISCORD: “We really need to fire whoever named this two-parter, don’t we?”
SPIKE: “You’re annoyed about that? What about the rest of us? You and Twilight are the only ones in this shot with any substantial non-disposable dialogue this episode!”
TWILIGHT: "Winter Wrap Up, Winter Wrap Up, our song is so iconic that even the show itself referenced it twice in Season 4!"
After finishing writing Mistletrapped, I sat down and read a bunch of recent stories I’d missed reading.
Today’s stories:
Where the Sun Don’t Shine by Obselescence
What If I Told You There Was A Changeling in the Basement of Carousel Boutique? by Hoopy McGee
Mark Misconception by scifipony
Bird Flu by mr maximus
A Moment’s Hesitation by FanOfMostEverything
Fun fact of the day: everyone knows that the Japanese infamously produce very few children, presently sitting at a rate of about 1.4 births per woman (replacement rate is 2.1 per woman). But did you know that the US would have an even lower reproductive rate if we had a similar proportion of children born out of wedlock? Presently, the birth rate within marriages in the US is 1.13, with all the rest of the births (bringing us up to 1.88 per woman) occurring out of wedlock. Only 2% of Japanese
APPLE BLOOM: "You know, I was being forced to do so much stuff with all them there cutie marks, that I couldn't even see half of them! There's a mallet, a fancy brush, two thin swords hitting each other... Man, am I glad I have just the one cutie mark now!"
Procrastination on writing creates a surprising amount of motivation to review stories.
Today’s stories:
Plainswalker by Burraku Pansa
The Brief, Torrid Love-Affair of Fernando the Straw and Madame le Flour by CoffeeMinion
“So… what IS your call sign, anyway?” by Vivid Syntax
The Swap by Monochromatic
The Twilight Zone by Bad Horse
- The Gentle People
-The Element of Audacity
-The Mechanical Donkey
I’m not a huge fan of sweet or sappy stories.
Somehow, today, I stumbled into five of them.
I really need to watch my step, or else I’ll end up looking like the crusaders after one of their misadventures.
Still, even so, I found something to like.
Today’s stories:
Let a Smile be Your Umbrella by Pascoite
Change is Good by ocalhoun
Gone So Long by Skywriter
Today, I Marry My Best Friend by Jade Ring
Reviews two days in a row? What is the world coming to?
First order of business: literally seconds before I made this post, Blue Jewel released a reading of As He Lay Dying, my story about the last moments of Jonagold Apple as he lay on his deathbed.
Thanks a lot, Blue Jewel!
Well, everypony deserves a second chance. - Rarity, "No Second Prances"
^ This. This is why I love this episode. It contains the important message of forgiveness.
