With my unread chapters of tracked stories sitting at a very cool zero right now, I figure it’s time to knock off a few other one-shots on my RL. I’m down to 26 fics, and a total of a mere 690k words. If things go how I like, I’ll have the list whittled down completely after a few more weeks. Heck, I could actually start reading stories then and there when recommended to me, instead of them languishing for weeks or months. Whoever thought it could be possible?

Here’s some more treats from my personal favourites list. I expect these review lists to eventually diminish with time as I end up reading the same stories over and over, but for now there are still quite a few new ones with recent updates. Keen to see what I as a reviewer and critic find myself enjoying? Look no further! There’s a few here today.

I’ve never actually read a proper Sparity before, so I’m treading new waters here. I suppose it’s because when I entered the fandom during season two, it already seemed cliche as hell. The second reason I never bought into it is because I’m not one for interspecies shipping; it always comes off as creepy or fetishy (I’m sure there’s a better word for that but whatever). Now, do not confuse this with me thinking interracial pairing is a bad thing; it quite clearly happens in the

Since I'm going to be doing reviews of quite a few writeoff contest stories in the coming week, I figured I would knock out two more stories and give them an analysis for you. I also really really have to sleep, and I rolled my foot at work, so that's all swollen up now too. I can barely walk.

You can blame Dash The Stampede for this new blog title.

So, I’ve submitted a story to the March mini-fic writeoff. I stayed up all night until 4am (who loves Australia?) when it opened, polished it, made it all pretty, and finally submitted it after a couple hours. Let’s see how it goes (I actually don’t think it’ll do as well as Crystal Legacy did, but time will tell).

Well, kinda boring title, but at least it's all-encompassing, right?
Better suggestions welcome, of course.

What's up today? Just a few short ones again. I'm going to try and keep this up at least until my read later list is depleted. Shouldn't take longer than until the end of March, Celestia-willing. So, grab some bite-sized morsels below, including a few that I really took too long to get to.

I have to come up with a better way to title these.

Man, I am churning reviews out lately! Perhaps I should change my name to something a little more slick. Hmmm… Cerulean Voice… I like the Voice part. Something, something… what goes with Voice? You know what? I think I like… Noir. Noir Voice. Not a bad ring to it, if I say so myself.

Just kidding, PP. Nobody could ever read as many hoerswords as you.

Oh boy, more reviews! Well, it’s about time I did some more reading. Here’s some more from my incomplete favourites list that have recently updated, as well as a surprise (but very welcome) one-shot entry. You’ll want to check this particular one out for sure.

“Never give up.”
“Chase your dreams.”
“Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something.”

Children and adults alike are told these quotes, intended to be inspirational and positively motivating. But sometimes, pushing for your dream can be extremely difficult. Sometimes it can affect those around you in ways you never intended. This is a story that boldly explores this theme of doing whatever it takes, regardless of the cost, and heedless of the consequences.

First of all: in my last blog, I mentioned that I was driving interstate (from Perth, Western Australia, to Brisbane, Queensland), and that I would be attending PonyconAU 2015 on Surfer's Paradise along the Gold Coast (about 80 kilometres south of Brisbane). The drive took Stiggerzz and I 5 days, in 2 cars, for a total of 5024 kilometres. That's over 50 hours worth of driving (since Australia doesn't have a speed limit greater than 110 kph on any of its roads, barring the Stuart Highway in the
