Putting off reading stories and then doing lots of stuff less interesting than reading stories is stupid.

I still managed to procrastinate by wasting time on Reddit.

But I did get some stories read!

Apparently the answer to that first question is me, given that the first two reviews in this set were from a Read It Now set that I let sit for so long it ended up Read It Later. But I felt like reading some stories yesterday evening to round out a set.

Let’s get cracking.

Yesterday, I read the entirety of Mort and several works of pony fanfiction, and added a thousand words to Mistletrapped.

Today, I read the better half of Pyramids and several works of pony fanfiction, and shall add another thousand words, if not more, to Mistletrapped.

Seems I’ve had a couple of pretty good days here, doubly so as I enjoyed several of today’s stories.

Given that I’ve been doing this for a few weeks now, I think it would probably be wise for me to sort of explain the rating system I’ve been using here.

Wow, it has been a while since I posted a review set.

I’ve actually been sitting on most of this review set for almost a month for no good reason. I’ve read a few stories here and there, but I’ve been trying to convince myself that I was going to get my next story done Soon, and thus should be working on that. I’ve also been somewhat avoiding the site because I managed to fall behind on season 7, having not yet watched a single episode from it.

While clearing out my “Read It Now” bookshelf of stories which were more than a month old, I ended up noticing a number of stories that I had put off reading that had what seemed to be intriguing premises and got sucked into reading them instead of cleaning out my bookshelf.

Oh, well.

Happy weekend, everyone! I hope you’re all enjoying yourselves.

I’m working on getting back into the swing of things and getting stuff done.

The Royal Guard is forever searching, forever seeking, and as one of its baleful eyes, so am I.

Though, ironically, I have about twice the pass rate of the average Royal Guard reviewer. So much for hating everything.

Today we have three stories from the queue, along with two other pieces that I selected for my own reading enjoyment.

Pardon my dust; it has been a while since I last released a review set.

Hopefully, at least one of these stories will have been worth the wait.

Sometimes, you just want to read a good story.

This is one of those times.

Back in April, I started on a set of Read It Now reviews. I ended up reading a couple stories for it, and then forgetting I had started a review set and never finishing it.

Today, as I went to read some recent stories, I realized that I had an unfinished review set, and as it wasn’t really quite timely, I merged it into this.

I managed to get sick this last weekend. It was a really rapid onset; within three hours I went from feeling totally fine to shivering uncontrollably, my head, shoulders, and arms aching, and a 102.8F fever which persisted for two days, along with some wonderful intestinal symptoms.

And then, today, I felt way better. Go figure.

Oh well, onto the pony fanfiction!

It has been a long time since I managed to get multiple review sets done in advance, and yet, here I find myself with two Read It Later review sets that I got done before I had posted either of them.

The last set’s epilogue ended with me noting I should read stories off my high priority bookshelf… so naturally, I immediately disregarded that advice and just read some stories on a whim.

Let’s see how it goes, shall we?

Pardon my dust, it has been a while since I last posted one of these. Been spending far too much time doing things that matter far less and feel very ephemeral in retrospect.

But no matter! Time to get cracking.

I actually got this review set done before I reviewed Eternal, but I hung onto it so my 1000th posted review would be something special (I’ve actually got most of a Read It Now set done, too).

But with that now read and posted, time to post this!

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.

There are times when you realize you’re just wasting your time doing things that don’t matter, not only to anyone else, but also to yourself.

That you can be doing so much more.

I have these realizations constantly. And yet, so often, they are Ignored Epiphanies, and I go on, doing the same thing, even though not even I like it.

Playing a game I don’t enjoy to completion.

Arguing with people on Reddit.

Instead of working on A Thousand Roses yesterday, I ended up reading a number of additional stories off of my high priority Read It Sooner list, as well as re-reading a couple of older stories that I read before I started doing reviews.

I really need to get to work on finishing up my story… but I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy the experience of reading many of these works.

Howdy folks!
