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.

Fellow bronies: Brace yourself for incoming fandom drama.

And here's the weird part — this time, it's not actually our fault.

Many moons and suns ago, there lived a ruler of ponies. She had been through many hardships, done many things to defend her kingdom, and things were prosperous. Now and then, she saw flickers of evil and corruption among her subjects, but that was normal. So she thought.

One day, her sister attacked her. Her sister had been tainted by emotions and urges, twisted herself into a monster. She sealed her sister away, hoping to find a cure.

Previously, on The Hat Man's blog posts...

Hats: You guys want an Applejack chapter or a shipping chapter?

Readers: Applejack!

Hats: Okay.

A few Readers: And later on, more shipping! Twilight x Gadget is yummy!

Hats: Twilight x what now?

A few Readers: Doooo eeeeeet!

Hats: No! Look, you want it so bad, if one of you write a Twilight x Gadget fic, then I'll put it on my blog post, okay?

Evening folks, how are ya all?

I realize I've been pretty quiet on this site lately. Most of my blogs have been update blogs, and they've really been minor ones at that. I've published a few chapters of Cyclosa, but that's one of my lesser viewed stories so I imagine the least likely to perturb anyone. And yet its the one i'm prioritizing cause I'm apparently dumb.

I swear I'm unable to write consistently, I used to write maybe twelve different stories at one time and never finished one, I only added more to the list. Thank god my tablet broke and I lost my data, it would have otherwise driven me further insane. I was however, disappointed in losing the beginning chapter to a Tolkien and George R. R. Martin inspired story, but it was the price I had to pay. Anyway, the reason I am writing this is to alert you to my inefficientcy at deadlines, I had

It has been a while since I put out one of these, but I’ve been reading up a storm in the last few days and decided to stop being lazy and start writing reviews again. I’ve got about half of another review set done at this point as well, so hopefully I’ll have more soon. Possibly even some stories, as I have a couple which are presently in editing stages.

But enough of the future, it is time for the recent past!

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.

Ĉu vi memoras ĉi tiu blogposton? Kompreneble ne, ĉar neniu legis ĝin, sed se oni ja legus ĝin, si verŝajne forgesus antaŭ ol nun. Mi diras tion, ĉar fakte mi forgesis rapide. Priparoli ion kaj fari ĝin estas tre malsimilaj.

In a sudden fit of productivity, I decided that it was time for me to actually finish a story yesterday and post it. It won sixth place in the last write-off, out of more than fifty entrants, and was within just a few fractions of a point of second place. I thought it was a bit unlike what I usually write - a metafic comedy, referencing the recent stories about fatal teleportation, Saturdays, and various other silly things - but Bradel thought it was in line with The Stars Ascendant in

My computer may be gone, but my reviews shall ever remain. A new computer is en route in many, many pieces, but I am done wallowing in self-pity over the loss of my extended brain.

Time to get some reviews done. You folks have been busy.
