My reading/reviewing preferences · 6:25am 9 hours ago

I will only read/review long fics if I trust the author, normally after reading shorter fics by them, or by reading a chapter of a longer story which can stand on its own four hooves.

I will skim-read short fics initially and give a smol review on that. I might then return for a much more in-depth read and review later.

Genres:
Adventure
Alternate Universe
Anthology
Anthro

We Are the Everfree - Everfree's Trees are not like other trees, by Loganberry (Random Recommendations in <50 words #3) · 10:08pm Yesterday

Overall.
We speak,
Tree-speak,
Are meek,
Life bleak,
Bird beaks,
Sap weeps,
Boughs creak,
Bugs eat,
Roots deep.

Emoji conventions as part of language · 7:29pm Yesterday

Not so much an issue for writing fics, but comes up on forums. My rule of thumb is never two emojis in the same paragraph. Not using them is fine... but a lot of quick informal language can seem either cold or cumbersome without those little pictures dotted about.

Overall. Ancient, introverted angst struggles in vain to defeat a modern enemy.

Best lines:

The basis of all my current writing: the story palette · 2:36pm Yesterday

I arrange my writing into both an overall palette as well as a palette for each scene. I call it a palette because I draw on each part of it when writing up my plan for each scene, a bit like a paint palette (and I use it to inform my plans for the writing)

Should I take as I desire? (Song lyrics + Sunset Shimer) · 2:06pm Yesterday

Smiling through the window
To the one who never serves you
I've not been feeling myself tonight
Should I take as I feel like it?
Well shall I? Oh shall I?
Or should I wait and hope
To be dragged inside

Just the English language being itself: 'sion' and 'tion' endings · 1:41pm Yesterday

C'mon English - 's' = 't' all of a sudden?

"Ah, maybe it is something to do with the vowels preceding it, like 'i'?"

Nice try, disembodied voice, but no!

Secession
Accretion

Incision

Suffossion (ok, I admit I had to look that one up :P )
Potion

Only preceded by 'u' do we get a reliable difference

Fusion (makes a 'j' noise)
