Hello again, folks. Today we have a couple of stories that looked promising; one that reminded me of a story I myself wrote back in 2016 (one of the most popular ones, too!), and a short story that I actually spent a good long time having to think about, as the things I ended up finding interesting about the story took a few rereads to sink in.

Let's see how they did!

Hello. As of yesterday, the judges from the contest 'right back at it again' have posted a list of finalists. Like I briefly touched on before, I don't really like the vibe of reviewing stories after the judges start making public decisions, which means that I don't want to review any of the others that are currently in the judging process, nor really review ones that haven't since that draws comparisons with ones that have made it in, and so on and so forth. That leaves one story

Hello again. As I frequently try to do for stuff contest related (especially stuff I participate in), I like to read stories by other entrants, and since I read them, I may as well review them to shine a bit of a spotlight on the contest and hopefully convince some folks to give them a try if they sound like their cup of tea.

I like contests, and competitions in general, even when I don't win, so this is usually pretty good fun.

Hello hello folks.

I'm a bit delayed, but I do have two more entries from Krazy's Warm and Fuzzy Feelings event here for you all. I went out of my way to look for some of the ones with less exposure. One of them didn't even get 100 views, so do be sure to check them out and support the writers if you decide they sound interesting.

I will also, on a more personal note, attempt to publish the Cozy Glow entry this evening. Hopefully I will see youse all there. Onto the stories.

Hello gents. Since I have a few days before my next test, I've decided to spend most of this week-end relaxing and reading a fanfic or two, something I've not done in a while (my uni has been slaughtering me). Since I'd quite like to spotlight some of the ones I found fun, I've decided to do quick reviews/shout-outs in case any of you guys who haven't read them might be interested in checking them out. Since I've not finished the one I'm currently reading, I wanted to chat about a story I read

Howdy hoo. Today I'm going to wrap up the entries for the 'Peace' category with Fit for a King, and then move onto a story which struck me as a promising competitor story, The Seneschal. Both I thought were pretty good, and both for different reasons!

Howdy. Quick preface; for years I've tended to not do reviews of incomplete stories because, given the choice, I tend to prefer reviewing the complete thing. I believe it's perfectly possible to recommend stories that are incomplete or unfinished, but as I decided to pick and choose what I wanted way more, I decided to afford myself this small luxury.

Hello. We're still waiting on results for the shipping contest, so I thought it'd be interesting to go back one and return to some from the Imposing Sovereigns II contest that I had previously missed, as well as one from another contest I participated in last-minute with this story. It tied for third place, by the way (pretty good going for three hours work). Both of today's stories are pretty good, so I'd recommend you

Howdy. Quick update first; results are in for the Right Back At It Again contest, so I can get back to reviewing those now. Additionally, Krazy has been doing an AppleDash event; not a contest, but still worth looking at so I'll be taking a gander at a few of those as well. As for my own entry into RBAIA, looks like the judges put it in second place, which isn't too shabby considering I threw it together very last minute.

Onto the stories.

Howdy howdy. Still me, still here, still kinda miserable.

Howdy howdy. I've been wanting to review/recommend some stories from the right back at it again shipping contest, because as usual I only ever exit my tiny corner of TWG to go, sneak out and enter in competitions before slinking back into my lair, and as a few of you probably know, I like reviewing and recommending (if I can) stories that turn up there, because contests are fun and I think that
