Familiarity Signal Boost / JWI excerpt · 6:18am Jan 10th, 2018

Just thought I'd provide a signal boost to Fervidor's new story, Familiarity.

TFamiliarity
Scootaloo's life changes forever when she meets Fang, a strange magician who is not what she seems. As the two grow closer, secrets are revealed. What does it mean to be a familiar?

Read It Later Reviews #17 - Naked Singularity, Walking through Fire, Lady Prismia and the Princess-Goddess, Paper Promises, Off the Edge of the Map · 7:08am Apr 7th, 2015

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?

Putting off reading stories and then doing lots of stuff less interesting than reading stories is stupid.

I still managed to procrastinate by wasting time on Reddit.

But I did get some stories read!

Today’s stories:

Horsefeathers by Fervidor
Whisk by Present Perfect
Mechanical Aptitude by Estee
