Turnpike Reading! · 1:10pm May 6th, 2019

AShadowOfCygnus has graced me with a reading of Turnpike!

Now, I’d say to rush out and listen to it right now, but I think if you have the option, it’s a story best listened to on the road.

Signal boost! · 6:35pm Apr 12th, 2019

AShadowOfCygnus has graced us with a new story! It's called The Salarymare's Infinitude and you'll like it. It's kind of like a poem, I think. A poem for the working-class mare.

AShadowOfCygnus has done it again, publishing a lovely story for all y’all to check out!

In the furthest reaches of Equestria, where the peaks of the mountains just brush the sky, a mare’s first duty is to her conscience.

As is always the case with his stories, I have no idea exactly how best to describe it. It’s a fantastic character piece wrapped around a lovely mystery, and the first chapter leaves you with far more questions than answers.

A Little Bit About My "Hall of Fame" ! · 6:54pm Mar 3rd, 2020

Some of you may have noticed that I have a “Hall of Fame” section on my profile. It’s for my Top 5 favorite stories on the site at the time, and though it’s changed a bit since its inception not too long ago, I thought it would be neat to give everyone a bit of an overview on why I love these stories and why I think you should read them, too! I’ve also gotten the authors of these stories to help out a bit, and they’re all super cool for doing that and I thank them tremendously so make

Convention Vignettes #2 · 6:37pm Aug 14th, 2018

Day one. I make it to the "Them's Writin' Words" panel five minutes late. From my spot at the back, I can't tell if any of the panelists recognize my battle-jacket. The panel is good, but I'm nervous about what happens after, because it includes two people I've never met in person. One is an Ewan McGregor-looking dude called AShadowOfCygnus, who is arguably my biggest fan. The other is Scribbler, who... is Scribbler.

Review #99 - Starlight Gets Shipped, The Mane Six Regret Playing Truth or Dare, Hang · 5:26am May 3rd, 2017

Well, would you look at that, Review #99. I do, actually, have a thing planned for #100.

You know what's really sad? I had this amazing story idea about Twilight and something, but I can't remember what the something was.

I also need to find motivation to do SA stuff... But for now, have a review or three:

Starlight Gets Shipped by Jay-The-Brony
The Mane Six Regret Playing Truth or Dare by Diamond_Emblem

Well, what should I wake to this morning but to find a message in my inbox from AShadowofCygnus letting me know that he did a reading of my story, Forever and Again and Again in that wonderfully sonorous voice of his.

Thank you, Shadow! I really appreciate it.

Hearthswarming Tales: The Cold Hand of Mercy, chapter 1 · 6:13pm Nov 26th, 2017

I forget how I came across this story. Fic recs? Possibly. It was earlier this year, when someone close to me passed away, and I dove into pony to find some sort of comfort in the midst of things. Somwhere along the line, I found this fic, and, me being the odd, macabre duck I am, it helped.

It has a sad start, to be sure, but it felt right for the season. Why probably won't be clear until after the new year ;3.

Here's chapter 1.

Convention Vignettes #3 · 12:49am Sep 10th, 2018

NOTE: In the course of meeting so many people over a weekend, some names inevitably slip one's mind, no matter how hard one tries to remember. In such cases, names are replaced by question marks. If any owners of those names are reading this, by all means send me a reminder.

For a similar reason, these are presented out of chronological order.

Read It Now Reviews #103 – My Little Nyx With Cupcakes At The Rainbow Factory, Where Do Babies Come From?, Stepping Off, Gravity’s Rainbow, Hang · 8:11pm Mar 13th, 2017

Been a while since I did a set of Read It Now reviews; been gleaning a lot of stories off of my high priority read later list. But there were some interesting-sounding recent stories, so I’d take a peek at them.

Today’s stories:

My Little Nyx With Cupcakes At The Rainbow Factory by Estee
Where Do Babies Come From? by Chillbook1
Stepping Off by SPark
Gravity’s Rainbow by Queen Crimson

Read It Now Reviews #104 – Under Pressure, Passion and Reason, Fifteen Friendships, Blink and You Miss It, Haunted Hayride · 8:39pm Mar 14th, 2017

It amazes me that I managed to end up over 30 review sets ahead on Read It Now reviews relative to Read It Later reviews. I suppose it is often easier to read a spate of recent stories than to attack the long stories that seem to heavily populate my high priority shelves, definitely not because I procrastinate on reading them…

But, well, this time I decided I’d read a couple of ~10k word recent stories, in addition to some shorter ones. We’ll see how it goes!

Audiobook Directory · 4:37pm Aug 2nd, 2020

Over the years, several fandom YouTubers have created audio productions of stories from the Horse Voice bibliography. These are now very numerous, and so for the convenience of listeners, I have compiled them here.

Many thanks to those who liked my stories enough to create these great renditions.

They say that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

In the end, though, I generally find it more like rolling a rock down a hill – once you get started, it is a lot easier to keep going.

Today’s stories:

Where Your Heart Is by Cloudy Skies
The Tail End of It by ShortSkirtsAndExplosions
”Why do all our new adversaries rhyme with each other?” by Estee
Scootalift by Estee
Starry Night by AShadowOfCygnus
