Less than 24 hours after the last review post, here's another!
Less than 24 hours after the last review post, here's another!
AugieDog's Half the Day Is Night is an old story. He was actually still writing it when I first started watching the show! Despite that, it may not necessarily be a well-remembered classic of any sort. So why the vs. post?
Back when I reviewed Hoopy McGee's Project Sunflower, I name-dropped Through the Well of Pirene by Ether Echoes as another well-known, highly regarded HiE. Today, after a solid year of reading a not-audio book, I bring you my 100th review of the year, and 4000th review of ever, in which we will explore that very
I've looked into a lot of fanfic and art 'verses over the years, but a very well-known 'verse has long evaded me. I speak, of course, of RainbowDoubleDash's vaunted Lunaverse. Which means, yes indeedy, it's time to crack that nut by checking out the very first story, Boast Busted! Let's see what this AU has to offer, shall we?
haha I almost forgot to post this
It may not be the first ponyfic I ever read, but AbsoluteAnonymous butterscotchsundae's The Party Hasn't Ended is pretty damn close. Like, first twelve at most.
Okay, back to reviewing fics, the real nitty-gritty stuff. And I mean fics, not that schlock I reviewed last time. If you could even call it a review. And I'm happy to report, this will score much, much higher. Not that's very hard compared to last time. Now, this week, a fic devoted to someone who truly was Number One.

Goosed! by Estee
Huh. Know what I got out of it? Apparently the future of Three Hundred and Fifty by Void Chicken is canon.
And now for some catch-up:
Pony Story 490
The Dusk Guard: Beyond the Borderlands by Viking ZX
So, with group notifications still down, reviewing fics in a group forum doesn't get nearly as much attention as it once did, and it can start to feel like shouting into a void. So, to give the group a little bit more focus, I'll be linking my reviews here in my blog as I do them.
This Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! in the Octagon, two ponies will enter
Yeah, I've done that joke before. :B I can't help it if these blog titles lend themselves to running gags!
I can't think of a story I've had more requests and suggestions to read than AbsoluteAnonymous's The Games We Play. The bitch of it is that I actually started reading an audiobook of this story waaaay back when I first started using audiobooks… and it wasn't finished. I don't think it was even close to finished. And now, I can only find a single chapter on Youtube, so it's back to Fimfiction Reads for me.
Trying yet another new style today...
Hey guys, here’s the first of what I hope to be a long series of review and opinion pieces. This format and title and so on will be work in progress as I gain some experience. So for now, IMO is the title of the series and the format is a bit of an unorganized ramble. Still, it might be best to start off with how I started off: by taking a look at Fallout: Equestria (Fo:E). Please note it's been two years since I last read the story which may influence my thoughts, but perhaps that a sign of a
YUP WE'RE DOIN' THIS
And it's GaPJaxie's fault in more ways than one. You can find my reviews of previous stories here:

Haven't made a post for a couple days and lost track of what days each story was reviewed on. But I got bored of reviewing all the short fics, and started doing reviews of the clopfics instead, because no one else was doing those.
Magpiepony's Princess Trixie Sparkle is maybe not a blockbuster title like you're used to seeing me cover in these blogs, but it was enough for Magpie to build a Youtube empire on. Seriously, she has twice as many followers as Scribbler. >.> Twice as many!
