Read It Now Reviews #37 – Let a Smile be Your Umbrella, Change is Good, Gone So Long, Today, I Marry My Best Friend, Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies · 7:10am Jul 7th, 2015

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.

Let a Smile be Your Umbrella by Pascoite
Change is Good by ocalhoun

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!

Yesterday, I was thinking “Man, Bad Horse released another new story, but I’ve already got my review post done. Well, might as well read it and get started on the next set of Read It Now Reviews.” Then I realized there were a few recent stories I’d been putting off reading, that were all short, and one thing lead to another…

And now I’ve got a complete review set for today! Funny how that works.

Read It Now Reviews #75 – Songs Like Snow, Making an Old Lady Cry (and other hazards of espionage), Constants, True Ascension, Growing Pains · 8:37pm Mar 21st, 2016

I’ve been a bit lax of late on reading new stories as they go up on FIMFiction; the first story in this set went up on my birthday, more than two weeks ago, and I think the latest was up several days ago. Still, better late than never, right?

Though maybe not in something called read it now. Apparently this is more read it nowish.

Still, this started out as such, so a Read It Now it shall remain!

Today’s stories:

Songs Like Snow by Ghost of Heraclitus

Read It Now Reviews #112 – Fifty Shades of Toast, Numbers, Why Do We Have Guards?, As Long As You Both Shall Live, Iron Rider Rangelkai · 12:41am Oct 27th, 2017

Sometimes I feel like the journey of a thousand miles doesn’t start so much with a single step as with rolling a rock over the top of a hill; it is hard to get it to the top of the hill, but it starts getting easier to push it once you get over the crest and it really gets rolling down the other side.

It would certainly explain a thing or two about me.

Fifty Shades of Toast by Estee
Numbers by The 24th Pegasus

Read It Later Reviews #64 – What Do You Do With a Drunken Unicorn?; What Do You Do With a Drunken Princess?; Whatever Happened to Captain Cloudsdale?; By Process of Elimination; Business in the Front, Party in the Back · 7:12pm Jan 24th, 2017

There are some writers who have little universes of their own. A writer who writes a bunch of stories in the same continuity. This can lead to a lot of fun, as we can see hints of future stories in past ones, and vice-versa, and there’s a sort of interwoven tapestry between them. From Ghost of Heraclitus’s Civil Service stories, to Skywriter’s Cadance of Cloudsdale cycle, to Estee’s Tryptich verse, there’s a lot of fun to be had in these stories.

Episode Review: "The Summer Sun Setback" - Season 9 Episode 17 · 5:53pm Aug 24th, 2019


Well, what do you know, this episode delivers on not one, but many things I said just last episode we were in dire need of by this point. Of course, how well it executes said things can only be found out by looking at the episode itself. Best to do just that.

Read It Later Reviews #57 – Passing the Torch, Ponies Are Squishy, Magical Pony Ultrasounds, The Immortal’s Burden, Born That Way · 9:36pm Sep 21st, 2016

I was going to devote this post to stories about Dragon Lord Torch, in honor of me writing a story about him, as well as an excuse to populate my new group with stories about him.

I then learned that there are four stories on FIMFiction which appear to be about Dragon Lord Torch, or at least feature him heavily.

It is amazing how long a couple weeks can feel like.

At the time of writing, less than a week ago I was at Everfree Northwest.

It feels like it was forever ago already.

I was feeling like I haven’t recommended a story in a long time… but the last story I read that got added to my Recommended list was read on May 11th, only 11 days before I wrote this introduction (which I then took four days to post).

CADENCE: "Wait - who was saying I was just a token Princess?"

Read It Later Reviews #41 – Hypothetical, Good Ponies Don’t… Do They?, All Our Villains Are Horny, A Wind in the Petunias, A Puzzle Unsolved · 12:01am Feb 7th, 2016

I always feel a little bit guilty doing non-writeoff reviews during the writeoffs, but given how frequently the writeoffs happen these days, if I didn’t, I’d hardly do any at all.
