I'm just promoting an old Ponky song because it's stuck in my head. I miss his Ponkology videos. Maybe he'll come back one day...

Here's the story link for those interested.
I went with Niagara Falls, obviously.
For me Niagara Falls is an odd experience. I've probably spent as many hours near the Horseshoe Falls as Skirts has near Disney Castle. I've been there in rain, snow, hot weather and cold... And much like Skirts loves Disney I love the Horseshoe Falls.
Haven't seen the leaks yet, but hoo boy, Spoiled's maiden name. I had to pause the video for like five minutes, I was laughing so hard. And then Spoiled did a "how quaint" just like Mosely's only recorded line on the show...which made me laugh in my own weird ways that few people would catch onto.
I don't abuse my blogging privileges very often, but sometimes there's an author who I admire and who I think has managed something extraordinary. Today that author is JawJoe, who wrote one of my favorite dark fics on this site (Twilight Sparkle: Night Shift), and who today has published something to follow in its steps:
Over at Chris's blog, I've got a review up looking at some of the differences between SS&E's "Couchtavia" and Estee's "100% Move = 50% Fire," and why I felt very differently about two stories that have a lot superficially in common.
Reproduced below:
Fever Dreams of a Trampoline:
My name is Princess, and I like short skirts and explosions. Today's story includes a little of the first, and a lot of the second. Bad ponies are doing bad things bad things with poison joke, and as long as Cadance's checks aren't bouncing, it's my job to stop them.
It has been said that:
As we all know, getting SS&E to write an overlong, overly purple, overly loquacious joke fic based on a joke in the cover of another joke fic is the very definition of 'making it.'
At least, I'm pretty sure that's been said. Its probably in the site FAQ somewhere. Or at least in a PM someone sent me.
Well, I, my friends, have finally made it.
I have an end! Okay, I have had the end for years, but now I am looking at it from the perspective of chapter numbers. I'm looking at 165 Chapters total! Book 5 will finish the Saga roughly at Chapter 165. Yeah, that is it for the update.
P.S. EQG: SAO will be released soon. I am trying to finish the entire story first.
Right, let's get into the meat of it. Goals/Resolutions for this year:
1) Get 175+ Followers.
2) Get to a total of 500,000+ words written.
3) Finish Tales Of Star-Crossed Love Arc 3.
4) Submit the promised Days Of The Scions Of Harmony.
5) Write as many chapters of A Different Maestro Spectrum as possible. Goal of at least 12.
6) Go on at least one date.
7) Write as many chapters of CYCLED as possible. Goal of at least 24.
How am I supposed to compete with that??
Frikken...

Been a while since I did a set of recent story reviews. I really need to get back on the horse, so to speak; I spend far too much time doing things that are far less enjoyable than reading pony fiction.

I hope you all had a good Labor Day weekend! Sorry for the relative dearth of reviews lately; I’ve been trying to get some stuff written, as well as review stories for the Writeoff. But I’ve been cheating on my writeoff reviews with reading some other stories as well, either recommended to me or written by folks that I follow.

Happy Monday, folks! And what a Monday it is. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the eldritch monstrosities from beyond the stars have been beaten back to the far side of the Moon, with everyone’s memories of their attack erased.
Good times.
