Hello, you several people who followed me over the last week! I assume you're mostly here because Seattle's Angels featured Wyrmlysan. Well, if you didn't already know, I don't just write ponyfic: I also review it on my blog, One Man's Pony Ramblings. So, if you want to get the complete Chris experience, go read all my posts over there! It's only about...

Hey, look! Over here! It's me, the guy from One Man's Pony Ramblings! And if you don't visit my blog on a regular basis, then have I got a treat for you: two weeks worth of reviews, commentary, and... well, ramblings.

Unless you don't like those things, in which case I guess I have nothing for you. My bad! The rest of you, however, can enjoy checking out what I've been up to for the last fortnight:

Have you been doing something with your life other than obsessively refreshing my blog, desperate to know whether or not I'd put up a new post, nevermind the fact that it updates punctually at 12:00AM Central on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays? Shame on you! However, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you had something truly important that was distracting you from your vital task of keeping up to date on the latest Chris ramblings. Maybe you were saving orphans

It's been two weeks, and that means it's time to find out what you've been missing if you don't get over to my blog on your own every now and then!

...What, you want more than one sentence of introduction? Then you should go to one of the actual posts; this is just here to show you what's going on over at One Man's Pony Ramblings. Speaking of, here's the last two weeks worth of posts:

Today's Review Roundup covers three weeks, instead of two. Why? Because I had it in my mind that this week was two weeks out from the last post, rather than last week. Granted, all I would have needed to do to see the error of my ways was look at the dates involved, but obviously I didn't do that. Well, here's an extra-large look back at what's been going on at One Man's Pony Ramblings recently:

I'm back from vacation, and here's what happened at my review blog while I was out of town! Some reviewing, some writing advice, some thoughts on the nature of reviewmanship, all courtesy of some very talented folks from around the fandom. Also, this (bi)week we're taking a reader suggestion and adding some bolding to help improve the "eyeflow" of things; I'm not 100% sure what "eyeflow" means, but if it means what I think it means, it's not something I'm very good at, so... hopefully

Time for your twice-a-month roundup! As an early heads-up, the next roundup will be a few days late, coinciding with my return from the vacation I leave on bright and early tomorrow. Plenty of good stuff in the interim, though, as you'll either find out on Monday (if you go check the blog then) or in two weeks (if you wait for the next roundup post over here). Without further adieu, here's what I've reviewed since I last posted a FiMFic blog:

If you weren't paying attention to the last couple of blogposts from me, this is the first of a new twice-a-month update post I'm doing. If you follow my blog, One Man's Pony Ramblings, then this is all stuff you've seen before. But if not, or if you're someone who just needs to be reminded that things outside of FiMFic exist, here's what I've put up on my review/writing/ponystuff blog since last Monday:

I watched the latest episode a few hours ago, and was struck by Carrot Top. We see her standing around throughout the dream sequence, but never once does she do anything. No fancy dream-magic, no carrot-based missile attacks... she doesn't even get a visual gag like Lyrabon out of the deal. She's just Carrot Top: eternally ordinary pony.

First, writing news: after completely forgetting about it for several months working tirelessly on it since March, I've made some small edits and published Scootaloo, M.D. in my Bantam Tales collection. Go check it out!

Now, the question.
