No time like the present to review more stories, eh?
I actually read so many stories I had to shuffle a couple stories out of this review set into the next one.
Today’s stories:
The Mystery of the Disappearing Siblings by Jay-The-Brony
Palimpsest by NorrisThePony
Best Friends, Too by shortskirtsandexplosions
Hatred by SapphireLibra3
Post Negative Comments Only by Estee
It has been a while since I did a set of Read It Now reviews. I actually started this one all the way back in March, and then forgot about finishing it out until this weekend, when I decided to get another review set done and actually read some recent stuff.
Today’s set contains a pair of episode reaction stories, a story with an interesting premise about Celestia and her ability to see the future, a story about Chrysalis sending Cadance a letter, and a story about… well, wingboners.
So hey all of you. I don't know if you all know but I started a new story because I felt I had moved past where I was on my previous work here. In many ways I have but most importantly was my mentality. I feel in someways a different person than what I was a year ago. I hope my writing has improved, which I know it has but how much is so difficult to say, but more importantly is things are looking up for me in my life outside of writing. Which is kinda funny coming from a person who just spent
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!
Today’s stories:
Stupid Tree by Baal Bunny
A Confederacy of Dunce Caps by Estee
I actually had this set done yesterday, but I forgot to post it. As such, you can all expect to get another set of reviews this weekend.
Today’s stories:
Daring Do and the Goggles of Shipping by CoffeeMinion
Last Words by BlazzingInferno
Keskiyönnon by Bradel
To Whom It May Concern by Pascoite
Lost and Never Found by Oroboro
24,331 words.
That is the present length of Mistletrapped, whose first draft I have, at long last, completely finished, all the way through the epilogue.
I’m going to be editing it over the next few days, but you should expect the entire rest of that story to be posted somewhere within the space of the next week or so.
But please don't actually die anywhere else, just give the song a Like and go support Aurora Rose on YouTube, because I've spoke to the guy and he's a really cool person. Very polite. Probably uses deodorant daily. Shampoos his hair and all that. Give him some love and make him feel awesome for being a decent singer. If you feel like subbing to his channel, follow the link below.
he's about to get eaten alive by Celestia I'm calling it n-
wait i'm writing this shit ofc he's gonna get eaten alive hahaaaa
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?
Spoiler alert: reasonably well.
Today’s stories:
Just As Planned by billymorph
Family Resemblance by HapHazred
The Knight and the Knave by Trick Question
I’ve been remiss in doing reviews (and reading ponyfics, for that matter), and I figured I’d change that today. I actually have two sets of these ready – both this, and a Read It Later set that I’ll be posting tomorrow. Hopefully, all of this reading will encourage me to get some more writing done of my own.
Today’s stories:
Why Can’t I Be Your Rara? by Oroboro
In the Dark of the Night by Dragonjek
The Trial of Fluttershy Flutters by Masterweaver
The final chapter is up for Part 5! I suggest anyone that's still interested go take a look!
EDIT: Btw, the story will be taking an undetermined short hiatus for the time being. Alot of things need to be set up, and alot of other life things need to be done.
Happy Memorial Day! I was planning on having a story ready for today, but ended up getting distracted with reading pony fanfics instead. But hey, six of one, half a dozen of the other, right?
Today’s stories:
Snowed In by OkemosBrony
Deathbed Confession by Dreadnought
This is Not a Drill by Tumbleweed
A Slice of (Cake) Life by Epic Yarn
Been a while since I did one of these! Five recent(ish) stories, five reviews. Let’s get cracking before this becomes a Read It Later review set, eh?
Today’s stories:
Six Ponies & One Corpse by Estee
Those Who Wield Power by PresentPerfect
Friendship 101 by BlazzingInferno
Friendship Hate Mail by PonyThunder
Captains Crash by Estee
Today’s Read it Now Reviews are brought to you by procrastination. Procrastination – where you get everything done except the thing with an actual due date.
Though at least it finally made me catch up on SS&E’s recent works, read a few RariLight stories (a ship that I have long-neglected to read many stories about), and make more progresss on Mistletrapped.
Today’s stories:
Great Big Sky by shortskirtsandexplosions
The Rainbow’s Realisation by korisfa
Well, hopefully you all enjoyed these, because you’re going to see more.
The five stories I read today:
Her Blood Ran in Hollows of the Floor by HoofBitingActionOverload
Cards Against Equiniti by Door Matt
Bitter Harvest by Else Ynopemos
Words Failed Her by Nonsanity
Little Apple by Oroboro
Me preparing for my midterm tomorrow: I'm gonna stay focused and on-point.
No distractions, only study
Also Me: I don't wanna study!!
This is gonna be a long night.. .
Sweetie Belle gains a soul —By Bad Dragon
Chapter 12:
“You are a medical pony, are you not?” Twilight faced her. “You should know that horns don't grow back if they break.”
*Sinster villain laugh intensifies*
“Na-a!” Rainbow Dash’s wings erected up from within the crowd. “One awesome prank doesn’t make her a master yet.” She folded both wings so they fitted through the door.
This set almost became an Estee story only set. Then I ended up reading one other story, then a second… and then it became a normal review set.
Also, every one of Estee’s stories that I haven’t read yet is 20k+ words long. And I’ve been saying I’d read bookplayer’s Lost Time, Cold in Gardez’s Salvation…
I’m so good at putting off getting stuff read that I’m sure I’ll find fascinating.
Still, there was some good stuff in here.

The Writeoff Association is a great way to produce a large volume of work. Unfortunately, at times it can also be a great way to produce a large volume of stories that you wrote in a short period of time and then need to spend some time cleaning up, resulting in a large backlog of stories which need some serious editorial love.
