For those of you who may be wondering what this thing is that your story has been added to, here's a quick summary:
First off, no, it is not (directly) a pagan reference, in case you're worried. Baal is the name of a planet in Warhammer 40k, the homeworld of the Blood Angels Space Marines. It is known for sand and masterful craftsmen.
Second, this bookshelf is for my absolutely favourite stories on this site, stories so good they might as well have been crafted by the artificers of Baal.

There are roughly sixty books here, so expect a long post. I’m only inspired to write this because I have something else I really ought to be writing instead.

107 stories in my Tracking bookshelf. How many have a regularly updating schedule? One. (Shout-out to Crystal Wishes and her story, Crystal's Wishes!) I suppose I can't blame anyone, I myself am horrible at keeping track and updated and whatever. I'm still procrastinating my upcoming PMV. Ah, well, this stuff happens. Anyone know any more good stories that often update? I'm tired of going to the library so often. Gas is

I created a bookshelf which is named "How to not write a story"

Wich is exactly how it's sounds: A story list where each element gets a bad story.
Some it's only inconsistent plot but get worse and worse, to the point you don't even know how this abomination had passed moderation.

Initially, it was only just for me as a reminder of how bad a story can be if i don't have the enough careful, but I thought someone can use it too for that purpose, so I made it public.

Hiya, lovely peeps!

New year, new library.

So in mid-December I was browsing through my libraries, trying to find a story that I wanted to re-read, and that’s when I realized that the three libraries I had (Honest Favorites, Happy Upvotes, and Most Wonderful Stories) were a little too full. So I decided to break it down into several genres.

Hello Everypony,

Now that I have a number of holiday-themed stories, I've decided to make a new category for my bookshelves to feature them. Thus, you can now check out all my holiday stories in one convenient bookshelf, which as usual is also available on my profile page.

Happy Hearth's Warming!

Hiya, lovely peeps!

I love the written word. I love books and fanficiton and blogs; I just love reading in general. When I first picked up reading in 2016, I expected stories to be just that - stories. There’s a plot, characters do this and that, reach climax and end plot. I didn’t know that ‘themes’ and ‘depth’ and ‘feels’ were ever in those stories.

I’ve never been glad to more wrong.

Not normally an Equus shattering bit of news, right?

I suppose it still isn't, but I figured it was interesting enough for a blog entry.

So, why another bookshelf?
Because there are some stories in my opinion that really deserve to stand out. They may not be the best written, nor the most original over all, but there is something that makes them stand out.

Hiya, lovely peeps!

Last year, when I remade my library, I mentioned something. I created a new personal rule - none of my shelves shall go beyond 100 stories. You know, for ease of finding the stories I want to re-read.

Last year, I closed Best of Comedy (1). Last week, I closed Best of Comedy (2).

Which is something you won't see a lot of as the story really, really has to impress me to make it on there. In some way these stories stand above the crowd, and that elite collection has two more members.

Hiya, lovely peeps!

In light of my most recent blog post, where I highlighted my favorites from my comedy shelves, I have decided to do the same thing to another one of my closed shelves - slice of life!

Arranged alphabetically, with a little commentary, here are the highlights!

Surely y’all remember my last blog post. Or maybe the one before that, I can’t remember.

I just thought I would post the latest version of this. It's still under development. I'm still not sure what I think regarding the overall quality, as I've gone back and forth on that matter this entire time. Anyone have any thoughts?
