Read It Later Reviews #50 – Pinkie Pie Has Infiltrated the Changelings’ Secret Base, The Rainbow Pony, Under the Mistletoe, Good Thing She’s So Disorganized, Small-Town Charm · 10:54pm May 25th, 2016

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).

Mini Re-Reviews: "The Crystal Empire - Part 2" - Season 3 Episode 2 · 11:14pm Apr 17th, 2020


SPIKE: "Oh yeah, I remember this! The time when I went from just another sidekick to a hero in my own right. And it showed all those naysayers you weren't a token princess either, Cadence!"
CADENCE: "Wait - who was saying I was just a token Princess?"
SPIKE: "Uh... the Shadowbolts?"

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.

Read It Later Reviews #44 – Hope; Give A Like – Feed A Changeling; Sweat, Tears, and a Video; Marble’s Horizon; The Sex Shop · 3:39am Mar 24th, 2016

As with yesterday’s Read It Later reviews, four of the five stories in this set came from Scribblefest. As was the case yesterday, please note that my opinion on these stories is not the final word for that contest; we are merely in the preliminary round of judging, and three judges read each of these stories. I am but one of nine judges involved in this, so… yeah.

Anyway! Onto the reviews!

Three days of reviews in a row! It has been a while since I pulled that off, but I really thought I should get caught up on my reading. Alas, the actual writing front hasn’t been going quite as well, though I have gotten some work done on a number of stories – but not gotten any of them finished.

Ah, well. Hopefully these reviews will tide you over.

Reviews, reviews, who’s got the reviews?

TD, apparently.

In an attempt to simultaneously get something done, clear out the Royal Guard queue a bit, and to procrastinate, I’ve got five more stories read and reviewed for you folks.

Scribblefest judging is winding down, and I’m working on getting the last few stories judged. Expect some more review posts early next week on the rest of the stories, but I’ll be getting all the rest of them read and judged this evening.

Reminder to those who are participating - I'm but one judge of nine, so my opinions are not the final word on these stories.

Read It Later Reviews #66 – On Forensic Accounting & Choral Singing, Friendship is Physics, Sunny Skies All Day Long, Hyperportentia, Not In Bluff Nor Bravado Nor Loneliness · 1:27pm Jan 31st, 2017

The funny thing about procrastination is that sometimes it ends up wrapping back around into productivity.

It’d be nice if I could be productive in the directions that I aimed, but at least I’m getting something done.

Today includes a few stories from the RCL, as well as a couple stories that I previously read that didn’t quite merit a recommendation, along with a final story – one that I’ve put off reading since the Outside Insight contest all the way back in 2014.

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

Read It Now Reviews #67 – The Personal Ponderings of a Post-Time Displaced Princess, Market Day, Flapjacks, Anyone You Want Me To Be, Pinkie Pie’s Perfect Plan · 7:31pm Jan 3rd, 2016

After a week of having a badly distorted sleeping schedule that made me too tired to be productive half the time, I have finally righted the ship of sleep to the point where I am actually awake during daylight hours and asleep at night (for at least a few hours). In celebration, I thought I’d start attacking all the new stories I missed reading while I was dazed and confused for the holidays.

Read It Now Reviews #50 –Attention to Detail, The Applemancer’s Apprentice, I Don’t Like the Drugs (but the Drugs Like Me), Dear Princess Celestia, Constellations, Second Birthday · 9:38pm Aug 30th, 2015

Ordinarily, I do only five stories at a time in review sets unless I’m reviewing short story collections, but I decided to do six instead of five in this set so as to avoid compelling myself to try and read four more recent stories in lieu of some older ones I’ve been putting off reading.

Two days until the start of Everfree Northwest, but I leave for the Emerald City tomorrow. If any of you are going to be there and want to meet up, send me a PM and I’ll give you some contact information; I don’t have a smart phone, so the most reliable way of contacting me while I’m wandering around the convention is likely to be an actual, honest-to-god phone call.

I know, shocking.

TWILIGHT: "That's, um, great. But could you, you know... not come back for any future episodes? Thanks."

Today’s set of reviews is courtesy of Scribblefest and (in one case) the Royal Guard. I haven’t written reviews for every story I’ve read for Scribblefest, but I ended up writing reviews for several of them; note that if you are a Scribblefest competitor, my word on your story is not the final word. We’re presently doing the prelim-round judging, wherein three judges read each entry and nominate them for a category, and I am but one of nine judges involved.

Anyway, onto the reviews!
