And so it begins! From here on in, I'm going to publish my reviews on Thursdays. I'm coming to really like Thursdays, as they are by far the easiest of my work days. Usually I'm done in 3-4 hours, and the only reason I'm not out of the office faster than that is because of a meeting we have to attend at 9:30 that takes up around an hour of our time. At any rate, Thursday is essentially my 'catch up' day, so let me get started, no?
Stories for This Week:
”Did you know that—every year—exactly 3099 ponies report suffering from natural Glowtrot exposure?”
Night Light made his bewilderment known. “How do you know that, Tight?”
The lieutenant merely shrugged his withers. “Sis said so.”
Now that I'm back to reasonable hours, my fears of not keeping up with reviews have been mostly alleviated. It's so nice to know I can stop worrying about my regular schedules, no?

Stalk Me While I Write Sunday live NOW. Find out why King Sombra lost the Crystal Empire because of Discord, Shining Armor hates his new inlaws and the crystal ponies are laughing hysterically at their new Prince Regent.
The Fangs, Pharynx, and Tempest sat in a house alongside a few Royal Guards and reformed changeling soldiers. They’d been tasked with taking the house, but their enemy greatly outnumbered them.
“Hey Zenny Boy!” Hive called out.
“Yes?” he trotted over.
“We need you to bring some reinforcements. Something quiet or something.”
“Okay.” Zen picked you his crossbows and left through the back door.
Taken the day after I uploaded it. Again, thank you all for pushing this into the box. You all are amazing.
So I know I said this would be out last week, but in an efforts to make it a far better story the release was delayed until now.
Happy Labor Day, Y’all!
Here in Americaland, we set aside the first Monday in September to celebrate the working mare man. Also in Canada, incidentally; much of the rest of the world celebrates on May 1.
It’s no coincidence that all four of the stories I published over the weekend feature working mares and stallions.

TS: Yeah, I think it's a little too "LATE" for protection now, don't you?!
Hey friends! Guess who's currently in the middle of a nine-hour train ride? This loser! I'm heading back to NYC a bit early for Thanksgiving. So, while I try to decide whether it's worth it to go buy an overpriced sandwich from the snack cart, I figured I might as well give you guys some updates. Let's go!
Stalk Me While I Write Sunday is again live right NOW. Find out why King Sombra lost the Crystal Empire because of Discord, Shining Armor hates his new in-laws and the crystal ponies are laughing hysterically at their new Prince Regent.

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.

As of this review post, we are into the big stories. I have a lot of review sessions coming up with stories going beyond 100,000 or even 200,000 words, and it's getting harder and harder to keep up as a result. I'm still several weeks ahead of schedule, but if I keep getting these big stories I may lose my lead. In summation, there may come a time within a month or two where I'm forced to only release reviews as the sets are completed, rather than weekly. Here's hoping that doesn't happen,
Yesterday I discussed some of my own success this past year as well as thanking a lot of the people who made 2015 a good first year here on FiMFiction. This time, I thought I'd discuss some of my favorite stories from my time here so far. You can already peruse my Favorites, true, and you can also see my list of Top 5 Recommendations, but I thought I'd go into a little more detail.
