REVIEW: Starlight Glimmer and The Secret Suite · 11:01pm Oct 30th, 2016

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. :raritywink:

REVIEW: Rarity and The Curious Case of Charity · 9:43pm Aug 25th, 2016

Which is heavier? 129 pages of a Cadance book, or 146 pages of Rarity book? The first one, because I'm only 1/3 through that new book, so instead I decided to re-read the entire Rarity book to review it instead. It helps that I already knew what I wanted to say about it.

Also the Princess Cadance book is in hardcover, because alicorn perks. Obviously that makes it heavier.

Discord book is still next week, don't worry.

REVIEW: Princess Cadance and The Spring Hearts Garden · 6:34am Oct 6th, 2016

I've been delaying this one for a while, but here it is. the most complex and rambling review I've written yet. this one's gonna be really weird, and perhaps controversial. can you trust me on this one?

Book: Discord and the Ponyville Players Dramarama · 10:48pm Jul 23rd, 2015

Buy this book. Seriously, do it right now. I've just bought it myself and I think it's wonderful. Very funny, some excellent Discord'n'Pinkie moments, a really nice reference right at the end and a generally interesting central story. And yes, Discord is very well in character. Also, we get "Princess Twilight's castle" in one paragraph and then, in the very next paragraph, "that hideous monstrosity on the edge of town". Okay, referring to somewhere else -- but was that really

REVIEW: Trixie and the Razzle-Dazzle Ruse · 11:35pm Mar 12th, 2017

One secret of fiction is the creation of unique characters who are precisely defined. The secret of comedy is the same, with the difference being that the characters must be obsessed with unwholesome but understandable human desires.

REVIEW: Princess Twilight Sparkle and the Forgotten Books of Autumn · 7:59am Dec 15th, 2016

Larson: We're supposed to read everything. Every show I've worked on, I made a conscious effort to read as much as I can, because it makes the process so much easier, and to avoid the aforementioned situations. Then you also have people like Gillian [G.M. Berrow] who knows everything. I've been in story meetings with her, where someone will propose an idea, and she will interrupt them, saying that that idea has been covered already. Despite the fact that she's only written one

REVIEW: Fluttershy and The Fine Furry Friends Fair · 1:43am Sep 6th, 2016

I want the new G. M. Berrow book about Starlight Glimmer. I hear it's pretty good. I'd rather be reading about Glimglam, so out of spite I'm delaying the Discord book another week.

Let's get one of the weaker ones out of the way instead.

Everfree Northwest Con Report · 5:24am May 22nd, 2018

Howdy folks! Well, I had a fun weekend. I ended up driving Thursday afternoon (managing to get to Portland at 3pm, just in time for the traffic to go to hell) and drove back Sunday evening (managing to hit a section of I-5 where they closed all but one lane at 10 PM, creating a huge traffic jam in the middle of nowhere), and had a total blast the whole time in-between.

The authors of Bronycon · 9:33am Jul 13th, 2016

So there's about six posts at once I need to write — including a con wrap-up, and reviews for all the 80 Days crossover fics that have come in — but this is the most important to post quickly as I get everything unpacked and struggle to catch back up.

So here is a cool thing: On Sunday, outside of Quills & Sofas, we took a group photo of as many authors as we could round up.

Here is a cooler thing:

BronyCon 2016 – VIP Writer Panel Notes · 5:32am Jul 11th, 2016

As almost all the community panels I attended were from people on FIMFiction, I trust they will post some of their notes or thoughts on those panels. If not, then I’ll have to steal all their ideas and seem super smart.

And I have some thoughts myself that I’m going to write up as proper articles about some stuff regardless.

Hearth's Warming Eve, Princess Luna, and the Festival of the Winter Moon (contains spoilers up to S5Ep20 and the new book) · 2:07am Nov 4th, 2015

Well, I have a nasty cold. It was 100 degrees and dry when I left California a week ago, and now it is close to 50 degrees and rainy. I called in sick and tried to rest. Today I also got all my mail delivered, and this book was released.

REVIEW: Rainbow Dash and The Daring Do Double Dare · 9:11am Sep 26th, 2016

I still don't have GlimGlam book. :fluttershysad: Finished reading Princess Cadance book, but I don't feel like reviewing it just yet. As further irrational punishment, Discord book has been pushed forward to the previous week!

This Rainbow Dash book is a weird book, so I'm going to review it in a weird way. The next part below the break is going to seem completely unrelated. And it is. But trust me on this. I'd never leave Ponyville hanging. :rainbowwild:

Been havin' bad luck all of my days: Nightmare Nights Dallas, Day One · 3:48am Oct 28th, 2017

The convention’s events did not start in earnest until midday, so I spent time going through the schedule and making calendar entries for panels I wished to attend. Then I got a text message.

From one of our credit card companies.
