...but I'm sick, so I'm going to read it again tomorrow, because I know I'm missing something.
Have a scary picture of Marble with a sweet story attached. 
Story at Sauce
After that mare order is Maud, Pinkie, and then ensemble again.
Since I very rarely actually take any time to read things outside of TGB stuff, I always like doing brief reviews and/or recommendations of other stories that appear in contests, particularly the EFNW contests, since they often have nice convenient word limits I can easily digest. So, that's what I'll be doing now: taking a look at some of the contest entries and giving a few thoughts on them, as well try and recommend them to anyone who might be interested. So, let's dive right in! See below
Also, an update of sorts. More after the break...
I've been "productive" today. Today I fixed up about a dozen chapters of Twilight's Secret Journal.
Wheee!
Nineteen chapters still need fixin'. 
Caution: sad comic below. Do not read if you don't want to get emotional.
My good friend Flammenwerfer is writing a story and I've done the cover art for him. The story is called "Surveying Maud" which is, more or less, a sequel to "Sculpting Marble" but much shorter and we all get to see the beloved Maud Pie in all her glory!
Check out my DA page here with all my other work.
I know basic geology, and a bit more on gemology, but not enough to readily do something like this.
Everyone knows about the Pie family at this point I hope. What I specifically need is someone who is pretty knowledgeable about both the different members of the Pie family, and different rocks that would match them. One I came up with on my own is obsidian for Maud, because it has a ridiculous melting point, much like Maud's near saint-like patience.
We have another wonderful audio reading for you guys! This is the second time fimfiction user Sparrow9642 has created a recording from one of my stories entitled "It Moves Below" starring Marble Pie. He even added all these SWEET sound effects and emotional music! I love it! <3 Thank you so much, Sparrow!

The Marble Chapter of Horny Horses is badly written. It's fixable, but it's going to take a couple more drafts to get it right. Expect it early next week.
Marble is worth taking my time with.
Introduction
I generally liked this episode, which had something important to say about sub-cultural variance in Equestria and how customs can vary even among kin. There are some interesting questions raised by the story, however.
I. What Is the Nature of the Choosing/Pairing Stone?
Spoiler bells, spoiler bells, spoilers go away!
It's another winter holiday episode before a fall episode. What is up with time in Equestria? Or perhaps airing times. The mid-season hiatus knocked a few things on, and other things off: perfect timing for the 5th anniversary, but the seasonal stuff got whacked pretty hard. Not as hard as the stinger in Friendship Games, though.
So after my last post, I think the cute, little mare we should devote our attention to this time is gorgeous, little Marble Pie!
I mean just look at her, she's so unbelievably cute. Being one of the so-called cute pony trifecta along with Flutters and Coco Pommel, I really think she deserves some love! Plus, she'd got such a cute butt! Get some gorgeous, pretty pie images below the break!
Ah, procrastination, my old foe, returned to bite me with a vengeance today. Annoyed with myself for not getting anything done, I decided to focus on one thing I could do – read stories, and review them, and maybe get my own creative juices flowing.
It only sort of worked. But I did find some stuff I liked, so the day wasn’t a total loss.

Firstly, firstly, firstly… a shout out for Arian Blaze, a friend of mine who's got a tiring week ahead of her 
but is on 99 followers, so please somebody push her into triple digits! 
Secondly, I've been doing a bit of editing and proofreading lately. Mostly little one-shot stories, because I don't have the patience for anything long. I keep a bookshelf of stuff I've edited and proofread here:
Finding this reminded me just how much I loved all of the Pie family. But besides the two obvious ones being Pinkie and Maud, I really do adore the other two Pie sister an awful lot.
I can understand that a whole lot of love goes towards cute, little Marble. She's like the earth pony Fluttershy, and she's impossibly adorable being all shy and timid like she is.
... but when I do, it's not-a-contest. Stay tuned because after over a year of writing colourful humans and Wallflower Blush, I guess it's time to reject humanity and return to horse. 
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!

For my readers: My self-imposed break is nearing its end. It will still go a little longer, but I will return to my writing soon after taking care of a few more things.
