Paul's Thursday Reviews CXIII · 8:57pm Apr 26th, 2018
Hey. You. Yeah, you. Wanna take a sneak peek at some Paulfic? Of course you do.
Hey. You. Yeah, you. Wanna take a sneak peek at some Paulfic? Of course you do.
How are you?
I hope you are well. My, the falcon truly cannot hear the falconer these days can it? I hope you are safe.
Switching rather violently in terms of tone and substance. If you read my posts you might hear some allusions here and there to a massive " project".
The Project, which I have been a part of on and off again for about six years, is an Alternate Universe in the truest sense of the world. AS I put it in a comment I just left : ''
Today is Election Day in the United States, the crescendo of over a year and a half of people campaigning to be leader of the free world. Be sure to vote, if you haven’t already (I did in mid-October, because here in Oregon, we vote by mail – no waiting around in line, and plenty of time to research the topics while you’re voting).
Well, folks... the past 30 days have been one of my post prolific periods of writing on a single story ever, excepting perhaps that massive push I had last Spring on writing Feathered Hearts - Eros. I did indeed release one Eros chapter for Christmas, but also, count ‘em, six Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles chapters, and the cherry on top of all of it was a new Harmonic Resonance chapter that seems to have been well-received.
Well, here I am at the office, though all I’m really doing right now is holding down the fort. There’s nobody else here but a custodian right now, which is fine with me. A nice quiet building with no work to do gives me the chance to write with no distractions. Thus, I can now report that the next chapter of Feathered Hearts - Eros is draft complete except for its initial editing pass.
Seems like a good day for some reviews!
Today’s stories:
Sharing the Night by Cast-Iron Caryatid
Counting Crows by VashTheStampede
Proof of Concept by Estee
Applejack’s Hearts and Hooves Day Hullabaloo by Tumbleweed
Of Orchards and Obituaries by Tumbleweed
All the duplicate fights have been completed for Chapter 3 of "The Secret of Harmony". Now all that's left is one more confrontation, some parts afterwards, the usual proofreading, and the chapter will be ready for publishing!
I'M DEEPLY SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO WRITE THIS CHAPTER. Hopefully, when I do the others, they won't be as bad.
So with that out of the way, any predictions as to what might happen in these fights?
And now for day 4 of my Hearth's Warming Specials:
Hearth Swarming Eve by horizon
One Hearth's Warming Eve by Caisius
The Changelings Try To Celebrate Hearts Warming by Dr Atlas
A Lonely Hearth's Warming by Snowfeather
Hearth Swarming Eve by horizon
(Thriller)
Sorry this took so long. My laptop has been acting up all day, plus I had a lot of work to do in cold with metal, so my hands are kind of bloody. Anyway...........To celebrate Heart n Hooves Day, I have gathered up all my ships into one giantic blog. Beware, this will be very big.
I have had Pinkie Pie's Smile Song stuck in my head all day, and the worst part was that I couldn't sing along because I was at work, where there are other people...
I hope you all choke on it.

And it's a lengthy one! I hope you all enjoy it, and do remember to tell me what you both don't like and like, so I can adjust accordingly, within reason, of course.
This could also be called “four shipfics and a random story”. In my Rarity shipping kick, I read the rather strange Every Mare Needs Her Stallion as well as three RariLight pieces. Then, just to round things off, I read one of the highest rated stories on FIMFiction, Discord Applies for Citizenship Papers, which happens to also be extremely short.
How did they all stack up?
Read on.

Every Mare Needs Her Stallion by InquisitorM
First thing's first: No Heroes: Beyond the Everfree releases today! I am very aware that this story is not going to make a splash, as the only people who will be seriously interested in it are those fans of the No Heroes series. And y'know what? I couldn't care less. I'm just excited to finally see a sequel – not a prequel, not a side story – finally come to light, and it's a sequel I've wanted to do ever since I finished Book IV almost exactly two years ago. This may be the
I’m pleased to say the latest Firefly chapter was very well-received, so I’m going to officially say that I did Denim_Blue’s changeling lore and characters proud. Queen Lepidoptes has basically turned into the anti-Chrysalis as far as Changeling Queens go, so I’m now making plans to bring her descendant-led hive into Feathered Hearts.
As you maybe remember, I have applied as a quest writer for "Legends of Equestria" in May.
Or maybe you don't remember, in this case, here are the two blog entries I wrote about my application:
I don't write reviews, really this is more of an opinion.
We're doing the good first.
There were no music numbers/this wasn't a musical episode.
The man who helped bring you The Passion of the Christ is back and this time he's starting season six of My Little Pony: Friendship is Obligatory. Watch as the main characters head to the Crystal Empire again. Watch as they discuss topics like friendship and the plot! Be amazed at how the princesses can who can move the sun, moon and defeat entire armies can't fight snow! Finally watch as the Hell spawn, a thing which should not exist yet does, a thing that sprang forth from
happy, that's how you made me feel
many times

why? you refuse to tell me
though you used to
please answer my question
what did i do?

Before we begin, let me just take this opportunity to thank the six people currently supporting me on Patreon, and the one individual who chose to donate via PayPal instead. You guys are all awesome. If you intend to claim a reward (Patreon's not giving me any info on that, or I just don't know how to access it), shoot me a PM and we'll get that set up.
There was, unfortunately, a concerted downvote attack on Harmonic Resonance yesterday not long after it was published, where I picked up three in the space of an hour. Shady as hell, but no point in reporting it given the mods almost never do anything about it. Annoying, but pointless since I’m not going to stop writing it and the commissioner seems happy. Readers of Midnight Rising are invited anew to check it out since it takes heavily after that story, both in terms of the
