Even though I failed to make it to a million words read in January, I decided to keep going until I got there. I only had about 47k to go, so I figured I'd catch up with some old favourites (one of which I’m extremely excited about!). Grab some more small-ish reviews of fics in my faves list below.

Ponky’s back! Ponky’s back! Ponky’s back! Ponky’s back! Ponky’s back!

After slogging it out for about eleven days to finish The Elements of Harmony and the Savior of Worlds, I managed to reread all of The Sisters Doo in the space of fourteen hours. That has everything to do with immersion, which I’ll talk about in my next review post. For now, it’s time to dust off that long-hidden section of my library and read the oldest (by that I mean earliest added) one-shots on it.

Starting with an old-skool VampireShy story. Grab it below!

Having decided to keep my word in regards to giving a friend a solid review, I bumped this story up ahead of a few others to give it some critical feedback. That’s not to say I wasn’t already intrigued by the idea of it. A story about crossing the boundaries of time and space is always going to go down well with me...if it’s done properly. So I had a glance at the cover of this one, and I thought, “I’ve never heard of something quite like this before.”

Today is the day I review a few one-shots that have been lurking on my list like bad smells. I’ll also knock a few more chapters off of my favourites list like last time. Of course, I won’t be re-reviewing the stories I’ve already reviewed, but others will get a short paragraph.

Let’s get into it: Eight stories below, a paragraph about each.

I’m going to come out and say it: I don’t think I’ve ever been so apprehensive about posting a review before. This story has been sitting in the recesses of my mind for quite some time now. It’s a well-beloved story about deception, the bonds of family, and coming to love your enemy. It addresses themes like desperation, necessity, duty, honour, and most of all, love. It also happens to have been written by a pretty cool guy who I’m glad to call a friend here.

I read 93 stories today.
Yep.
93.
That's gotta be some kind of personal record.
Why, and how?

I did it. I actually did it. Finally, I forced myself to sit down and actually read a story I promised I would about seven months ago. I knew this Million Words idea was a goer!
Now let’s get our faces melted off in the light of an eternal day. A story begun back in 2011, and still ongoing.
Fillies and gentlecolts, I give you my long-overdue review of Sunshine and Fire.

Hey! It’s been a while since I did one of these. And, to be fair, I’ve kinda missed them. I would have done a write up for Ghost of a Rose before this one, but quite a few others already wrote fairly good reviews, and at that time I was really flat out with things. So consider this a resurrection as part of my MWiJ challenge. Let’sa go!

Onward to Lulamoon's Castle, as read by the Golden Oaks Book Club!

Welp, here’s my first reviews of the new year. This will be the beginning of my undertaking to read and review One Million Words in January, essentially clearing out my read-later list of the 31 fics on there. I might even sneak a few others in there yet. We’ll see what happens.
