I watched Historical Friction and... (Spoilers for SU... duh) · 12:55am Jul 17th, 2015

Me whenever I see my OTPs/new episode of MLP or SU/Octavia. But really: Wtf?

Well that was a thing! It was... ACTING! What's more important than acting?! Oh yes... Garnet. But it's not a Garnet episode, it's a Jamie episode! A funny one! So wanna see ACTING? Then get it after the break!

[Season 7 Spoilers] About that Perfect Pear Episode... · 2:30am Jun 22nd, 2017

This isn't a review. Spoilers are ahead. I'm really just gushing a bit here.

I must confess. I don't really care too much about season seven on the whole. However, I will firmly say that episode 13, Perfect Pear, stands out among the most important episodes of the series.

Recommended Story Reviews #18 – Heretical Fictions, Tiny Wings, Shine, Taken for Granite, Groomed to Perfection · 7:33pm Jun 3rd, 2017

I’ve re-read Heretical Fictions a few times over the years, but kept on putting off posting a review of it until after I reviewed Eternal, as Heretical Fictions is a story about Twilight and Celestia reacting to Eternal being published in Equestria. Thus, that story’s review kept getting shuffled forward and forward in time, until finally I reviewed Eternal.

Actual dinner conversation · 12:28am Oct 14th, 2016

*something about how ISIS will come and rape our women, kill our gays; somehow turns into something about genital mutilation*
Only the girls get their genitals mutilated.
Well, the guys are circumcised, and I consider that genital mutilation.
Pilar, you do realize that both of your brothers are circumcised?
So is Blake.

Read It Now Reviews #112 – Fifty Shades of Toast, Numbers, Why Do We Have Guards?, As Long As You Both Shall Live, Iron Rider Rangelkai · 12:41am Oct 27th, 2017

Sometimes I feel like the journey of a thousand miles doesn’t start so much with a single step as with rolling a rock over the top of a hill; it is hard to get it to the top of the hill, but it starts getting easier to push it once you get over the crest and it really gets rolling down the other side.

It would certainly explain a thing or two about me.

Fifty Shades of Toast by Estee
Numbers by The 24th Pegasus

It is amazing how long a couple weeks can feel like.

At the time of writing, less than a week ago I was at Everfree Northwest.

It feels like it was forever ago already.

I was feeling like I haven’t recommended a story in a long time… but the last story I read that got added to my Recommended list was read on May 11th, only 11 days before I wrote this introduction (which I then took four days to post).

Read It Later Reviews #41 – Hypothetical, Good Ponies Don’t… Do They?, All Our Villains Are Horny, A Wind in the Petunias, A Puzzle Unsolved · 12:01am Feb 7th, 2016

I always feel a little bit guilty doing non-writeoff reviews during the writeoffs, but given how frequently the writeoffs happen these days, if I didn’t, I’d hardly do any at all.

Big Contest News! · 8:53pm Sep 26th, 2017

This week, none of my series will be updating, because I'm going to be entering another oneshot contest! After the success of the last one (Manaphy's Unsung Heroes), and after dragging my behind about it for a few weeks, I've finally decided to enter Amore's DiamondBloom Contest. Expect my oneshot entry, Amour Fragile, to come out in a few days.

Sorry for my relative silence this week – I entered into the last writeoff, then read some more writeoff stories, and spent a lot of time writing stories that I didn’t end up feeling quite happy with, and am going to have to heavily revise.

However, I did finally hit on a revision I did like, so I published another story this week!

Read It Now Reviews #67 – The Personal Ponderings of a Post-Time Displaced Princess, Market Day, Flapjacks, Anyone You Want Me To Be, Pinkie Pie’s Perfect Plan · 7:31pm Jan 3rd, 2016

After a week of having a badly distorted sleeping schedule that made me too tired to be productive half the time, I have finally righted the ship of sleep to the point where I am actually awake during daylight hours and asleep at night (for at least a few hours). In celebration, I thought I’d start attacking all the new stories I missed reading while I was dazed and confused for the holidays.

Two days until the start of Everfree Northwest, but I leave for the Emerald City tomorrow. If any of you are going to be there and want to meet up, send me a PM and I’ll give you some contact information; I don’t have a smart phone, so the most reliable way of contacting me while I’m wandering around the convention is likely to be an actual, honest-to-god phone call.

I know, shocking.

"It Feels Rapier than ever" -- Another Horrible Mistake To Avoid When Writing Romance · 11:18pm Feb 8th, 2016

Audio version by Imrix.

I’m not good at romance.

A guy once tried to choke me and then begged for sex, and that’s just the third most horrible confession I’ve gone through. A girl in my high school refused to go out with a guy unless he stabbed his own arm with three needles to show his love. One of my teachers had to go to the hospital on New Year’s because she got a champagne bottle stuck to her vagina.

Read It Later Reviews #43 – My Flight, The Kidnapping of Twilight Velvet, Check Yourself Before You Tirek Yourself, Twilight Tries Not to Think, A Spoiled Diamond · 12:39am Mar 23rd, 2016

Today’s set of reviews is courtesy of Scribblefest and (in one case) the Royal Guard. I haven’t written reviews for every story I’ve read for Scribblefest, but I ended up writing reviews for several of them; note that if you are a Scribblefest competitor, my word on your story is not the final word. We’re presently doing the prelim-round judging, wherein three judges read each entry and nominate them for a category, and I am but one of nine judges involved.

Anyway, onto the reviews!

All of this chaos makes perfect sense · 11:21am Nov 5th, 2014

When I was young, I moved to Eugene, Oregon. I was always a smart kid, and I already knew how to read and write (and had for possibly several years even at that point). Now, Eugene is kind of an odd town, and it had some charter schools there, namely language immersion schools - schools where you spend half the day speaking (and learning) a second language. At the time, they had a Japanese, a Spanish, and a French immersion school. I was somewhat torn between the Japanese and French schools,
