Last time, Axis_of_rotation asked me to review the IDW My Little Pony comics. I didn't think I had much to say about them, but after catching up on all the issues I'd missed, I got inspired. So I'm gonna try writing a new series of posts about them, with a different format from these book reviews. 
After showing some interest in the story a few weeks ago, and even offering to edit for me to continue it, Junegold hit me over the head with these:
In the Enforcer and Her Blackmailers, I hinted at Starlight Glimmer's sketchy past, which allows her to be blackmailed. She starts the story with PTSD thanks to epic life and death battles, and hints at how she was a gangland bodyguard, the best of the best, until her patron became too stupid to live. The TV series depicts her as an unusually competent fighter, and magically stronger than Twilight Sparkle.
A bit of SF in the spirit of Theodore Sturgeon and an itsy-bit scary. Starlight Glimmer of the Enforcerverse returns a few days after blasting Discord into ghosty-ness in A Matter of Principals to find that her spell had, er, side-effects. Her and her time spells! Discord has
BABSCon: I liked it. I would recommend the con because it is about pony and, by design, more about community and fun together. Very well run.
What Starlight Glimmer did to the Ponies of Our Town, and even more so to the Mane Six what they stumbled upon her little community, was amazingly cruel, especially from the point of view of a Pony. So I'm going to go into Starlight's character as revealed in the episode and what this says about her background.
I have a new story planned for this month. This story will take place after season 9 and will have music. Things will be intense, so please come and read this exciting and terrifying new story. I decided to not implement music.
Skimpy outfits and unintended innuendo, what more can a clueless Starlight ask for? A short interlude between serious chapters. Enjoy. (Also, remember, authors really like comments, so please add your to the story.)
First off, sorry about the late installment. Health issues on the team, and hardware issues. Anyway, Moon Dancer is back after the ruckus she started in the prologue and being somewhat background afterwards. This is the same Moon Dancer who is Celestia's ward in Sisters in All but Blood, but 599 days later in that story and having had a couple years to get over... well, what's in this
An old friend stops by the hospital room, then another. Then... Where's Thorax? The reality of being powerless returns and Starlight is going to fix it right now. New Chapter Posted (51).
In Public Nightmares, the new four part chapter starting today, Starlight's new life with capital-R Responsibilities becomes a lot more complicated and discomforting. She may avow herself evil, but most who know her know she will do the right thing even if it kills her. She has a control issue, especially if she has no control, as the next installment will show.
In part 2 of 4 of Public Nightmares, what does Starlight do when she realizes she can't cope? She tries harder, but she realizes her hardest opponent may just be her own memory. Warning: This chapter and the next are very emotionally intense.
The last time Starlight fought a griffon, she'd died and had to be revived. This isn't exactly a rematch, but she wants to prove she isn't a one trick pony. (She didn't lose that first fight, but bleeding to death for all practical purposes didn't make it a convincing win, either.) Read Mare's Honor posted 1/23/24.
With mysteries deepening all around her, Starlight takes a moment to enjoy some butter pumpkin bread! Just in time to step a hoof into... yet another mystery.
Starlight is about the realize she isn't a doctor and that she's made a newbie princess mistake. It's going to be a very bad morning...
Quick! Read chapter 45, just posted, albeit late. 
What is it with Glimmer and how cliche stock plots follow her wherever she goes? One or two stock plot episodes where characters are flanderised and dumbed down and written OOC so they'll fit into the stock plot's roles, I can handle, but how many have we had so far? Please, take this number and show it to a Glimfan.
Also, score one for the "Glimmer is incurable and needs to be put down, she can not be redeemed or reformed" theory.
I do not hate all Starlight Glimmer fans. I hate glimfans, the crazy ones. However, people have told me they thought glimfan was just short for "Literally all Starlight Glimmer fans". And I can see why. So I'll put that to bed right now. Glimbots. I will now begin calling the crazy Starlight Glimmer fans Glimbots. Glimbots, Glimbots, Glimbots.
I do not hate all Starlight Glimmer fans.
The latest post (today 8/26 at 4:19 PM PDT), is the first part of a new chapter arc. You aren't expecting this. Again, and again. That's why you are getting three chapters not one! Prepare to be shocked and to feel those feels! The mystery will deepen for many of you, or it will turn into a thriller. Depends on what you're paying attention to. It is now definitely a romance novel. If you enjoy
