These stories hold a place in my heart for their quality writing, rich worldbuilding, and sense of humor.

Note: These are stories mainly within the Friendship Is Magic sphere. I will post my top ten "Equestria Girls" stories later.

Anyways, let's get started.

A New and Improved Anon-A-Miss Story · 9:25pm Dec 3rd, 2021

Hello my fellow bronies,

After downloading Grammarly, I have been working on improving and editing my past stories. I decided that my Anon-A-Miss was not just badly edited, but the story itself was poor and unoriginal.

So instead of editing it, I decided to start a new and, shall we say, original story from scratch.

This is story is going to be the fourth of my Sunset's Steps series, my take on Sunset's redemption and growth into the lovable heroine we know and love.

My Favorite Words in the Dictionary · 5:33pm Oct 31st, 2021

Righteous. Because there is something....righteous about saying righteous. Saying it invokes awe and greatness.

Vituperative (harsh or critical). Because it is fun to say.

Glorious: Because saying it also invokes awesome greatness.

Fantastic

Spectacular

Ethereal

Celestial

Dystopia: The word "dystopia" is just edgy to say.

How does the Mane 5 compare to the Mane 6? · 2:54pm Sep 14th, 2021

After seeing more of the promotional material for MLP: A New Generation, my expectations for the series have gone up quite a bit. I'm still holding my breath, but I see the writers are putting in the effort.

Since we're roughly a week away from the movie's release, as of this writing, I'm going to make a few predictions about how the character dynamics of each of the Mane 5 will play out in comparison to the six previous protagonists.

Hello, my fellow bronies,

Yes, some of you saw a blog post about this subject before, but I felt it was poorly done because I finished it on the fly. Also, I've seen the recent G5 trailer, and so my view of G5 has shifted quite a bit.
