Instead of working on a story, I instead spent all evening reviewing stories. I’m not sure if that counts as procrastination or sideways efficiency. But hey, I managed both a set of Read It Now Reviews and a set of Read It Later reviews this week!

This was originally destined to be Read It Now Reviews #93, and was mostly written all the way back in September.

Then I kept on putting off finishing reading A Confederacy of Dunce Caps for no good reason.

Today, I found the time to finally finish it off… but by this point, now is really later.

Still, that’s no excuse not to post reviews!

This came from a pretty eclectic variety of sources; two writeoff stories, a story from a writeoff writer which is unrelated to the writeoff, a featured story, and a random story that got recommended to me by Sharp Spark. Quite the variety pack of stories - but how will they hold up?

Timing’s a funny thing. Once again, two months of waiting for enough G5 content to accrue has led to two weeks looking at goings-on in Maretime Bay, with the final short and comic both coming out this week. Let’s begin.

For those of you who missed my post earlier today, Mistletrapped’s sixth chapter went up earlier today.

But Mistletrapped is not all there is to the world of ponies today. There was an episode, which I actually liked! And, of course, new stories to be read.

None of which relate to today’s episode, so maybe that was a bit misleading. Still! I’m sure at least some of them will be good, right?

Horizon and Bookplayer released new stories today, and Baal Bunny and Estee each released one earlier this week. You know what that means – it is time to get reading!

Today’s stories are four stories from established authors whose works I enjoy, plus a fifth from a new writer whose very first story ever got featured.

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.

A number of things to talk about. First, Estee’s got something to say. It’s a bit long, but I felt it was an important enough topic to share, having been there myself once or twice.
