Yup. This game. My goodness, I just don't even know where to start. Everyone keeps saying it's brilliant. It won a recent online competition for "best game ever", on which fans of the many, many long-standing classics that got their butts kicked cried foul and swore that a two-month old game (now closer to three I guess) couldn't possibly legitimately beat these grand masters of gaming history.

Well. I only have one thing to say.

Believe it.

Almost caught up on THE MASTER LIST. Just have to get through the the two other threads for the Goodfic Bin, the backlog of my own reviews, and... there was something else...
Oh yeah, a certain unnamed reviewer's gigantic contest blogpost. Grr. Actually, I need to go actually bookmark that so I don't forget it.

One of the reasons I occasionally do blog searches on FimFiction is I occasionally run across review posts I would have missed. hawthornbunny has done two random story review posts.

Managing to post every day on the other blog for a few days now. Hopefully will be able to keep up with it. Going to post a couple of these catch-up posts to avoid one giant list of post links. There are about a dozen posts on the other blog since the last catch-up post after all.

So first off, you may have noticed that this isn’t a Friday’s Featured Fic. Well, I’ve decided that I will no longer be doing Friday’s Featured Fics in favor of a general weekly review. This is because that finding good stories is hard. Finding good stories on a weekly basis is even more so. With that in mind, starting this weekend, I’ll be reviewing one (complete) story within the range of 30-100k words every weekend between Friday and Sunday. Final score will be at the bottom of

Welcome to the sequel no one asked for!

I’ve got three more stories for all of you, three more coin flips to make, and three more reviews to write. If the coin comes up heads, that story gets a positive review, and I highlight the things I enjoyed. Tails, and I go negative. After all, just because something is perfect doesn’t mean it can’t be improved.

And away we go!*

I’ve said it a lot before, but there are a lot of good writers on Fimfiction. Emylia Hawke is one of them. Her short story “Night Terrors” is grammatically perfect. There’s coherent dialogue, good pacing (for what it is), great establishment of settings and characters, and all the technical elements I expect from any competent author.

So after a brief mention of this idea in a Skype chat last night, I figured I might as well give this reviewing thing a shot. There’s just one little wrinkle, but it’s rather simple to understand.

After I read a story, I flip a coin. Heads, I write a positive review. Tails, I write a negative one.

Let’s see how convincing I can be…*

'Ello guys. Smaug here. So, as of late, I've been working for a group called Reviewer's Cafe. And the staff sorta made me the guy in charge of getting new reviewers introduced. Anyway, we're looking for some new blood to help us review. If anyone's got any interest in joining the group's team as a reviewer, feel free to PM me. We're always looking for more reviewers, and we'd be happy to have any of you.

RedFire wanted me to review his story. So here's my opinon on it.

In today's issue, we're going home. Forget Ponyville, forget Dimondia, forget... I dunno, Canterlot or the Crystal Empire or Cloudsdale or whatever other place the other comics go to. No, we're heading to the City that Never Sleeps...

If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere
It's up to you, Neigh York, Neigh York!
