Today's release has been a long time coming, and I'm thrilled to finally make it available to fans of Skywriter's work!
Another test, it seems. Looks like I’m going to be getting a lot of those if I’m going to continue this review thing. Today the hurdle to clear is bias. You see, Skywriter is one of my favorite pony writers, so I’m inclined to see things he’s written favorable. Add to this that he’s just an all-around pretty great guy, and it’s hard not to be in his corner.
To my great surprise and pleasure, I received an email from Illya Leonov, stating the following:
I have taken the liberty of producing an audiobook of your story "More Precious Than Silver Or Gold." It can be found here: Thank you so much for writing it! -Illya Leonov
Thanks guys. It really means a lot to me. My average is a new follower every .41 days; let's see If I can make that an average of 1-a-day in 2016. Here's to another 365!
Plus I finished up an old story yesterday and it got published today. Skywriter liked it. Go read it! Cadance in Eb Aeolian, a slice of life conversation between the pretty pink pony princess and Discord.
I'll be on vacation next week, so no (semi) regularly scheduled post from me. You'll just have to content yourself with the backlog. This is a great time to catch up! It'll only take you 88 miles per hour minutes.
Until my glorious return, checkout Twilight posting her first fic.
I actually kinda like tea. I'm sipping green tea right now as I wright this. It's soothing.
Not so for our eternal bringer of the sun. Discover the blasphemy below.
So, yeah... I'm a gonna do three more today, ok? Here they are:
The Cutie Mark Crusader Boys by YuGiOh Brony
Overlooked by Scyphi
Hoarsmiths by Skywriter
I can be stupid, but not outrageous / I can be sickness, but not contagious / I can be empty, but I'm not nameless / It's another three stories, another three stories:
Princess Celestia Hates Tea by Skywriter
A Short Story by Twilight Sparkle by Skywriter
Most of the Cast is Replaced by Inanimate Objects by Justice3442
According to my computer, I finished this review set all the way back on September 10th. I had thought I had posted it for some reason, but apparently, I never did.
Whoops.
Today’s stories:
Salting Snails by Bats
Philomeanie by Skywriter
Dictated, Not Read by Device Heretic
Veneer by Trick Question
The Prisoner of Zebra by Tumbleweed
So, I went to Galacon last weekend. It's my second-ever convention – my first being Bronycon 2014 – and hopefully the second of many to come.
Galacon was a fucking blast, to be frank. Or, rather, the Galacon attendees were a blast. The actual convention that we'd all gone there for was... well. I spent about 15 minutes in the convention centre getting my pass and a booklet, looked around at what the pony-people were peddling, and decided that it wasn't for me.
I’ve re-read Heretical Fictions a few times over the years, but kept on putting off posting a review of it until after I reviewed Eternal, as Heretical Fictions is a story about Twilight and Celestia reacting to Eternal being published in Equestria. Thus, that story’s review kept getting shuffled forward and forward in time, until finally I reviewed Eternal.
Hey guys! Hope you're all having a wonderful October so far! Got just a few things to talk about today.
First of all...
Back in December, when I first started this set of reviews, I wrote:
It is very easy to try and write reviews of a lot of short stories. It lets you get through large numbers of works in a short period of time… but it also means you’re avoiding many of the longer works, many of which I added to my Read It Later list because they were supposed to be quite good. What is the point of having such stories on your list if you are always going to put off reading them?
There are times when you realize you’re just wasting your time doing things that don’t matter, not only to anyone else, but also to yourself.
That you can be doing so much more.
I have these realizations constantly. And yet, so often, they are Ignored Epiphanies, and I go on, doing the same thing, even though not even I like it.
Playing a game I don’t enjoy to completion.
Arguing with people on Reddit.
Instead of working on A Thousand Roses yesterday, I ended up reading a number of additional stories off of my high priority Read It Sooner list, as well as re-reading a couple of older stories that I read before I started doing reviews.
I really need to get to work on finishing up my story… but I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy the experience of reading many of these works.
Today’s stories:
À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time) is a classic of French literature.
A few nights ago, I finally found it. Lost Time, that is.
I got the rest of the set done on Saturday… and then my laptop had major problems on Sunday which are as yet not fully resolved, but at least I got it working again. This wouldn’t ordinarily be a problem… except for the fact that my house is being remodeled and, at the moment, is full of nasty fumes. Good old VOCs.
Sometimes, you just want to read a good story.
This is one of those times.
Today’s stories:
The First Time You See Her by Skywriter
The Hypocrisy of Tolerance by Estee
Of Angels by Paul Asaran
This is a Clopfic by Tumbleweed
Sometimes Never by Blueshift
Today is Election Day in the United States, the crescendo of over a year and a half of people campaigning to be leader of the free world. Be sure to vote, if you haven’t already (I did in mid-October, because here in Oregon, we vote by mail – no waiting around in line, and plenty of time to research the topics while you’re voting).
