It’s time I actually did some catching up of old favourites. My RL list can sit for a bit until I at least get a couple of votes on what to read next, *hint hint*.

The last of my short one-shots below as well as more progress on ongoing faves. Check it if you wish.

Something special is about to occur.

The next story I wanted to review is actually story number five in a well-beloved series by one heck of an author. Alas, I’ve had it on my read later list for… holy shit, close to two years now! Almost as long as I’ve been on this site.

I continue to push through my wall of words in this chilly month of June. Yes, chilly, now shut up, America.

Three reviews today. Shorter ones this time before I tackle my next epic. Suggest one for me then. No don’t run away, it only has 17 fics in it!

A couple of shorter stories today! One’s an old classic and the other has been collecting cobwebs on my shelf for too long. Both are sublime, and worthy of your time (oh look, I’m a poet, and I didn’t even know it).

Let’s get into it!

I first noticed today’s story when it made the feature box back in December 2013. The concept seemed fascinating, and one I hadn’t seen before. A pegasus getting a cutie mark in magic? Colour me intrigued. Of course I was preoccupied with my own things back then, just starting out as a writer myself… but now, a year and a half after its publication, I’ve finally gotten around to it. Geez, took me long enough!

Seven days have elapsed. Seven stories have been released. Some did fairly well, others not so much. But it finally happened, after over a year of procrastinating planning and refinement.

Seven one-shots about Derpy. Mostly Comedy, mostly Slice of Life, lots of laughs... and then a full-on 180° pivot to close the series off. Check it out.

Well, I was going to review Ocalhoun’s One In A Million this time around, but fate intervened when I received a reminder that I’d promised to read someone else’s one-shot first. Guess you know what to expect below, huh? A number of contest entries here.

Get three more one-shots from my RL below! Some real gems in here today (figuratively and literally). After this, I have three more one-shots, and then it’s all about the longer ones.

Putting my last, er, rather scathing review behind me (and the consequences of such an analysis… whoops…), I’m here to check out some one-shots again. I’m knocking over my final two outstanding faved-story chapter updates as well.

Going with the single suggestion made at the end of my last Voice On The Matter review blog, today I’m tackling a story by not one, but two writers. These two teamed up in January 2013 to bring forth great works of fiction together under a single account name. Whether one writes, or the other, or even if they collab together, I’ve been intrigued by such a partnership and the success they seem to have had with a shared account.

The eighth story to come under Golden Oaks Book Club’s analysis happens to be a contest winner. Taking first place in Equestria Daily’s More Most Dangerous Game Contest, it outed over eighty other competitors. That is quite an impressive feat… but does it read as well as one would expect from a high-tier group of judges?
