I’m just about done reading the stories for the last Writeoff competition, but in the meanwhile, I thought I’d throw another batch of new stories at you folks, especially in the light of commenting to someone else about how this helps improve feature box quality. You know how much power we reviewers wield!

Not very much.

Still, some of these were indeed worth reading.

The stories I read today:

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.

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.

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!

Some folks have been writing some interesting stories lately.

Clearly, that means it is time for some reviews before I dig into grading tests.

Trying to get back on the horse that is writing reviews (and reading pony stories), this particular set contained a surprising number of memetic stories.

Yesterday, I said I’d maybe take a break from recent story reviews to work on my own stuff.

Then my feed exploded with stories.

You monsters. It’s almost like you want me to keep reading!

But for all your work, I am grateful – today was a very good day for pony fiction.

The Fourth of July, the day wherein Americans celebrate their country by blowing up a small part of it.

What could be more American than that?

Reading pony fanfiction, clearly!

Been a bit remiss in doing reviews since the last writeoff, so I figured I’d climb back on the wagon today and catch up on some of the stories I’d missed.

The season 5 finale train never ends, with three more stories tied closely to The Cutie Re-mark, along with a story that was recently featured and an excellent story which won second place in the November write-off that all of you should read.

Which is which? You’ll have to read the reviews to know.

I was originally planning on posting my TwiDash story today, but then I realized that today was the final day of Fan of Most Everything’s Imposing Sovereigns contest, which contributed several stories to today’s review set and will likely contribute several to the next one as well. As such, I felt like I’m sure a lot of folks’ feeds are full today, so my own story (which is basically done, though I’m still poking at a few edits) will likely go up tomorrow or Tuesday, largely depending on

I’ve been remiss in clearing out my “Read It Now” queue, and thought I’d go through and review a bunch of recent stories for your reading pleasure – or displeasure, as the case may be.

For those of you who missed my post earlier today, Mistletrapped’s sixth chapter went up earlier today.

But Mistletrapped is not all there is to the world of ponies today. There was an episode, which I actually liked! And, of course, new stories to be read.

None of which relate to today’s episode, so maybe that was a bit misleading. Still! I’m sure at least some of them will be good, right?

I’ve been re-reading Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics, and I have at least one blog post planned based on that book. If you’ve never read it, it is an interesting read, and at some point, I’ll likely write a review of the book, but I can tell you that if you’re interested in comics as a medium, it is well worth your time.

Horizon and Bookplayer released new stories today, and Baal Bunny and Estee each released one earlier this week. You know what that means – it is time to get reading!

Today’s stories are four stories from established authors whose works I enjoy, plus a fifth from a new writer whose very first story ever got featured.

Howdy folks!

With BronyCon in the rearview mirror, I’ve been feeling productive of late. While waiting on Thursday night for my roommates to arrive at the hotel, I started editing an old writeoff story of mine, and managed to finish it off and post it yesterday afternoon:

May Those Who Step Through This Door Know What it Means to Rule

Sorry for my relative silence this week – I entered into the last writeoff, then read some more writeoff stories, and spent a lot of time writing stories that I didn’t end up feeling quite happy with, and am going to have to heavily revise.

However, I did finally hit on a revision I did like, so I published another story this week!

The Perfect Cure for the Common Cold

Apparently “D&D got cancelled” is a codeword for “TD writes reviews”.

And experiences some strange feeling, deep down in his chest.

Is this that thing they call joy?
