As a request from Perfectly Insane, I was tasked with creating a reading of one of his stories, Fake Smiles, and I hope the reading will fulfil all of your sad and dark needs! Go and check him out if you're a fan of that kind of stuff!

Here's the link to the reading on my channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHbWGxNh_JE&t=11s

Wow, even TV Tropes is contradicting their own tropes and seriously overlooking things.

Friendship is Failure #20: A Hearths Warming I'll never forget.

I created that fanfic for two specific reasons...

1: Most of all, I could finally wail on Twilight Sparkle the way Quagmire wailed on Brian; voicing why I loathe her so much so I can make her upset... and crush her Hearths Warming Spirit.

Hmmm...

but also has them ignoring the numerous times she's saved Equestria from certain destruction and has gone out of her way to help many individuals time and time again.

Which can still mean... practically NOTHING to anyone.

In my personal view, being a Hero/Savior and being a Good/Decent Person are completely different things.

Let's start with Raven...

Something a bit unusual this week. I’ve had more and more review stories pile up on my backlog lately from an Ponyfic audiobook reader that isn’t Scribbler, and I figured, why not do an edition of exclusively fics read by them? It gives me the chance to also talk about the quality and quirks of their readings. That reader being StraightToThePointStudio.

As hinted previously, I’ve run out of energy with doing Commentary Corner for Tell Your Tale shorts every week. And while most shorts do have something unique to say, it’s still largely just frustration of the “what are you doing, writers?!?” variety. So, as of this week, I’ve decided to scale them back; rather than a play-by-play commentary, Friendship Is Card Games style, it’s more of a standard recap and impression.

Another thing I get so incredibly irritated with that this person I'm dealing with... she keeps going off at me that, "At least I try to simulate free will. You on the other hand give no free will at all to your characters, and instead you make them do things like a control-freak."

Mixed February for this spirit so far; been perpetually under-the-weather for two weeks now, just enough to take regular painkillers. I’ve had it worse, but it’s always gone quicker than this. On the other hand, good experiences with friends lately, what it’s all about, and while I haven’t made much of any progress on the writing front lately, the torch is still burning on the development cycle. So, not much, but not nothing.

My favorite FIF character, STONE HEART, committed a few crimes himself, but I constantly receive complaints (Namely from my detractors) that all he got was a slap on the wrist (He wasn't punished severely enough.)

...Yeah... that's right. He did get a slap on the wrist, and I'm also about to label his crimes and the circumstances surrounding it.

Lightning Dawn: "We are a race of humanoid ponies known as The Space Alicorns

Equestrian: "Space Alicorns?"

Starla Shine: "Yes. If you wish to know more, please hear me out. First off: Our powers and abilities are much stronger than that of the Equestrians. In fact: Even just one of our weakest warriors would easily be able to topple the entire Equestrian Empire without much effort."

I just achieved another crazy milestone! If you haven't seen it, the link's right here.
A New-Found Blaze

Two weeks ago it dawned on me that, with July 10^th having landed on a Monday this year, I’d missed a prime opportunity for a themed throwback feature on that day. As July 10^th is the day Fimfiction was launched in Beta, I could have had a week themed around the site’s 12^th anniversary. The bad news is I missed my chance. The good news is, with today being July 31^st, it’s prime for an even better celebration of the site’s twelve years.

Anything to say this week? Bits and bobs; still a bit off finishing judging and announcing results for the Ancestral Tribute contest, while my blog miniseries on Make Your Mark Chapter 2, and the two-parter of my experience at UK PonyCon 2022, each have one post to go, coming later this week and again next week (but in reverse order). Between that and other obligations, kind of in a headspace of having several tasks ongoing, and all making progress (well, except my own fic writing,

Yep, after careful examination, and cross-referencing over the past few days, I can confirm without a doubt, my haters are hopelessly idiotic and uncaring of facts (or even their own so-called Logic)

Hey, remember when I once tried themed character weeks? Yeah, me neither: it had four attempts early on*, but they were more just fics matching the chosen theme then forming a statement. About time for a better revival, I say. How’s about a quintet of Cadance fics, all adding up to something to properly say about her?

In the early hours of this morning, the total number of public stories on Fimfiction passed 150,000. There have been plenty more than that, of course, excess from delisted and removed stories – though not nearly the 540K you’d guess from the URL IDs, many of which are generated by a user but never have a chapter actually uploaded or published – but it’s an impressive total no matter what way you spin it.

It completely slipped my mind that last week I crossed the coveted mark of having reviewed 100 fics. I can’t say for certain how long I thought I’d be doing this when I started, though I was pretty certain I’d keep it going for the rest of 2022 anyway. The surprise is that I gained decent traction and a not-half-bad following, given I didn’t even have 40 followers before I started this, and now I have double that. Truly, this is a great community, and I love that you folks enjoy my review

Hello, everybody! It has certainly been a minute since my last blog post. Like I have said in the past, I am not on here as often as I used to be but I certainly try my best to check on my account whenever I can. In all honesty, I was planning on waiting to write out a blog like this until the tenth anniversary of my FIMFiction account. While I still plan on doing that, I was inspired to write something since it was ten years ago this month that I first delved into the realm of fanfiction over
