Whoa. When I joined this little community, I honestly didn't expect to stay this long. But for the past few months it became almost an everyday routine for me to start reading MLP fics at 10 pm until midnight, when I usually go to sleep. And come to think of it, this prepares me to sleep much better than trying to improve my CSGO skills, which usually ends with me rage-quitting and loudly cursing the living hell out of all russian players. It certainly does not help my mind to rest for the

For some time, I have consdered starting a group that existed for readers to ask for story recommendations based on what elements and other criteria they want to see. However, I just haven't had the motivation to do it.

Today, I found a new-ish group with a very simular premise, but it is in serious need of members.

If anyone is interested, the group is The related story finders.

It's been quite a while since I last posted one of these, but here we are again. I might have been tempted to review this fic, rather than recommend, but it's early days yet. For now though, I have a recommendation, my good ladies and gentlemen.

Anyone who has ever paid any attention to me has probably heard me talk about DbzOrDie. He's one of my best friends, as well as being 90% of the reason I ever write anything, between our brainstorming sessions and him pushing me to finish things and proofreading everything I write.

I was writing an essay about how fan-fiction transcends literary movements, and got stuck on New Criticism. Everybody said it was important, but I didn't know how it fit into my grumpy meta-narrative that those damn 20th-century kids ruined everything.

Because I have nothing else to do right now. Have a list of stories I really like, in no particular order. Some of these have commentary. :V
A lot of these stories are older fics. I stopped reading nearly as many fics here after a while due to time after high school and college began.

EAfter Eternity

• MLP: FiM
• Sci-Fi

Luna discovers a vast and ancient being approaching Equus. When she and Celestia go to meet it, they see into the early dawn and eternal twilight of their universe.

Hey guys,

Not much to say here, but I think anyone who sees this should read a certain fic: My Neighbor.

So on Saturday night I got the brilliant idea to reread a fan fic I love here on the site. I would say one of the best. Which just so happens to have 450k words published so far and seems far from ending. Which is awesome in my book. So I didn't spend the next 36 hours doing nothing but eating sleeping and reading. But on the upside I read a what is like three long novels in that amount of time. Then after that I was like I want to get caught up on this web comic I read but the problem

Hey there readers, sorry the update's been taking so long. I've been busy, and it's just not coming to me like it was at the beginning. Hopefully I'll get a good long stretch of time to myself soon to plow through it: Chapter 6 is almost fully written out, so it's maybe 90% of the way to being actually released.

Okay, so I have, from time to time, recommended stories here — stories I felt were really good and deserved a few more views.

But now I'm going to recommend a blog post:

Some lessons I’ve learned preparing this set:
1. Write better notes so you don’t have to reread the story.
2. Sometimes it’s really hard to find Suggested Reading.
3. Appreciate all the folks who take the time to write reviews, it’s bloody hard.

Lost on a desert island.

The idea brings up images of coconuts, palm fronds, and for some of us older folks; Gilligan's Island. In story and myth being stranded on a tropical desert island is usually written of as idyllic isolation, but the harsh reality is that it is anything but.

So, I've been doing some book reviews and recommendations of late, but now I think it's time to take a momentary break from that and plug an artist who has been doing some fanart of Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen and its sequel Equestria's Changeling Queen and the Abyssal Empress.

TheJediMasterEd just submitted his first fimfiction story (apart from the ones he's scattered throughout blog posts and comments), "Beneath your feet, what treasures". It should come out in an hour or so, barring Meeester or Shadowflash. (EDIT: It's out!)

I like this story very much. I recommend it, but I think most people won't like it.

This is the funniest story ever posted to this site. Bad Horse is a genius.

(Help, I need more words to add to my alliterative title!)

In my ongoing quest to say more with less (which is admittedly going poorly), I'll be writing some quick reviews of some stories I read recently that I think more people should read. Aside from some basic metadata stuff, like important tags and simple summaries/descriptions, I'm aiming for a maximum of five sentences. In any case, here are some wonderful stories that I read over the summer!
