ILP's Good Fallout Equestria Fanfic Library: Better Days · 6:25pm April 5th

Hello there and welcome to the first of hopefully many Fallout Equestria fanfic reviews. If you’re interested in why I’m doing this, the introduction is available here. With that out of the way, let’s get right into it.

Recommended Story Reviews #5 – Best Young Flyer; The Saga of Dark Demon King Ravenblood Nightblade, Interior Design Alicorn; Diamond in the Rough; The Lotus Eaters; Big Mac Reads Something Purple · 11:26pm Aug 21st, 2015

I was going to post another set of “Read It Now” reviews today, but the stories I was reading weren’t agreeing with me. So I figured I’d finish up this set of recommended story reviews, as I haven’t done one of these in a while.

Recommended Story Reviews #15 – Wet Feathers, Martial Bliss, For When It Rains, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, Where You Can’t Follow · 1:06pm Jan 26th, 2017

While I haven’t posted a Recommended Story Review set every month, I have been trying to do so, and this set brings me up to #15. This is starting to have an interesting consequence, though. Because these sets are composed entirely of stories that I enjoyed enough to recommend before I started doing reviews, the number of stories I can include in these sets shrinks every blog post.

Recommended Story Reviews #14 – Dinky Debates Dexterity, Destiny and Dinner; Tunnel of Love; “Princest is Wincest,” It Said; All the Mortal Remains; Home Grown · 11:05pm Dec 24th, 2016

It is almost Christmas, and that means that it is time for me to get off my butt and get people stuff to read for the holidays. I have been remiss in getting review sets posted; hopefully the rapidly approaching end of the year will encourage me to get more done.

This is a rather eclectic set of stories in some ways, but in another way, all but one of them manages to capture a lovely little sentiment. I wonder if you can guess which one that is from the titles?

Recommended Story Reviews #7 – The Treaty, Intern, Rarity Loses Her Virginity in a Poker Game, Ponies and Throwing Knives, The Gift that Keeps on Giving · 9:21pm Jan 20th, 2016

It has been a while since I wrote one of these. I had been planning to put this out before Christmas, but I ended up procrastinating too much on it, and didn’t get the last two stories reviewed until last night, when I was, ironically, procrastinating on doing something else.

Clearly, the real secret to productivity is to make it so that you loop your procrastination around to the point where you are always getting stuff done.

Recommended Story Reviews #9 – The Lavender Letter, Hoofprints, Fluttershy Comes Out of the Closet, Never So Far Away, Strange Bedfillies (Or: Nopony Loves Twilight Sparkle) · 10:37pm Mar 18th, 2016

In an attempt to re-energize my writing, I re-read a bunch of excellent stories in the last few days. But of course, it would be terrible for me to keep these to myself; while many of these are fandom classics, and others should be, if you somehow haven’t read them, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Hoofprints is perhaps one of my favorite pieces of writing on the site, and it is a pity it is hidden away in a short story collection; much like

Recommended Story Reviews #8 – Spring is Dumb, Twilight Sparkle Makes a Cup of Tea, Bonafide, Table for One, Two Peas in a Pod · 11:09pm Feb 7th, 2016

At one point, I was hoping to get at least one set of recommended story reviews done per month, meaning it would only take me, oh, a couple years to finish reviewing all the stories I would recommend or highly recommend but read before I started writing reviews.

It has been a bit slower than that. Still, I do hope you folks enjoy these.

Recommended Story Reviews #2 – Estrus, Dream of Me, Cadance in A Minor, Friendship (with benefits) is Magic, The Average Day of Lyra and Bon Bon… Or Other Misleading Titles · 8:59pm Feb 1st, 2015

Some stories on the site are rated mature to keep them out of the hands of children. Because, really, what child would lie about being 18 on the Internet?

Some of these stories are quite good.

Whoops.

Story Review #13 · 1:06pm Jan 6th, 2022

Story review #13: Kiss Me —by applejackofalltrades

Character’s:

Applejack: She is a lesbian but still has her in show personality and quirks.
On top of that she is crushing on Twilight so hard the whole story they her panic made me panic.
But overall despite the semi-oblivious lesbian change (that was necessary for the story) she was really in character so all good their.

First Impression Reviews: Episode Three · 7:18pm Apr 13th, 2016

Below are two fanfic reviews based purely on the initial impressions provided by the first chapter (or first 3k words.) For an outline of what my reviewing guidelines are, go here. Please do not request reviews!

Before I get into the reviews proper, I just want to note: The way I’m doing these is not random--I’m clicking on the last page of my to-read list, and reviewing the stories on the bottom of each page...

Read It Later Reviews #59 – The Color of Promises, Somepony’s Daughter, If You Came To Conquer, Inexcusable, You Too Will Deteriorate · 5:44pm Nov 3rd, 2016

I’ve been on a roll lately. I feel increasingly reinvigorated as I do more actually productive things that result in actually meaningful results. Going through pony stories again on a regular basis is nice, and I’m looking forward to watching the rest of the season 6 episodes I’ve been missing.

But first, more reviews!

Today’s stories:

The Color of Promises by Deathscar
Somepony’s Daughter by bookplayer
If You Came to Conquer by cleverpun

Read It Now Reviews #96 – FlutterDash Contest Reviews #4 – Unexpected Reunion, Learning How to Date, Changed Mares · 7:53pm Oct 29th, 2016

The final set of reviews for the FlutterDash contest. Sorry I missed posting this yesterday – I ended up feeling kind of terrible and slept for like 12 hours, and thus totally forgot to post this. Feeling a lot better today, though.

Today’s stories:

Unexpected Reunion by NintendoGal55
Learning How to Date by Fircoal
Changed Mares by Typoglyphic

Howdy folks! It has been far too long since I did one of these. Sort of been avoiding a lot of blog posts because spoilers, like an idiot. I just need to catch up on stuff.

And generally being useless.

Sometimes, when I’m feeling like I’m being a useless lump, I just decide to do something.

Read It Now Reviews #53 – Wanting Sweet Things, Rarity Sleeps In, Far Kobresia, No Sale, To Hell With Destiny · 4:07am Sep 12th, 2015

A busy day today for people I follow – four new stories in my feed, from three different authors, including the long-absent Darf, who is oft spoken of in hushed tones, for fear that he might return if you said his name in front of a mirror three times.

Seems someone finally did. And so, I thought, what better way to welcome him back from two years of absence than to review two of his new stories?

I’m so sorry.

Read It Later Reviews #49 – Harissa, Shining Armor’s Amour’s Armour, Rainbow Reflections, A Total Eclipse of the Fun, The Gathering · 11:15pm May 24th, 2016

This was actually supposed to be Read It Later Reviews #50, but I just posted a Read It Now set yesterday and then Bad Horse came out with a story a day later. As this set had an empty space it in, Read It Later #49 got bumped down the line. So this set actually contains four older stories, plus Bad Horse’s new one.

I’m cheating a bit. Deal with it. :rainbowdetermined2:

Story Review: "Void Trials"/"Void Trials 2" by Obsi! · 6:35pm Nov 3rd, 2019

Well, it’s time I finally got down to reviewing this series. It’s got spaceships, battles, and - most importantly - robots! Let’s take a look at this tale set a few centuries into Equestria’s future: “Void Trials” and “Void Trials 2: Horizon” by Obsi!
