The Box Never Changes: Feature Box Special #05 · 4:58pm Nov 7th, 2014

Well, I guess you could say that this next batch of reviews has been a long time coming. And I'd agree with you, really. It's been, what, four weeks? Around that long, I'd say. And apparently, you people have missed my rants and reviews (though why you would miss them is totally beyond me), so you might be pleased to know that I'll be resuming them in full now. I never really did set a firm schedule for these reviews in the first place, but I'll try and put them out at least once a week, around

So I've been away for a while. · 1:43pm Nov 2nd, 2014

Normally I wouldn't bother posting a blog like this, but I figured I might as well explain the long delay in my rants/reviews. Since, y'know, I missed a good three weeks worth of feature box reviews, on top of other things going on. New site updates, some new enhancements; I'm not complaining, I do like that they've fixed the issues with the blog editor and made it far better to use, honestly. But anyway, moving on to the point of this blog. Now, I don't like taking up space with

Five Minutes To Midnight: Feature Box Review #04 · 3:55am Oct 2nd, 2014

Another week, another set of reviews. Alongside some of the past week's events (and for me, witnessing a little drama here and there), the authors continue to plod ahead, writing their stories without a care. There's some that are good, some that are bad, and some that are "ohgodwhy" levels of abysmal, but if one thing's for sure, all of them are horsewords. Let's have a look at (yesterday's) state of the box, shall we?

Promoting a thing that some people I know are working on... · 8:41am Sep 28th, 2014

Anyone remember Fimfiction Drama? I initially figured that he had the right idea; what, with keeping up on drama and such. Well, we all saw how quickly that prospect tanked, didn't we? I mean, if I ever turned my rants toward someone in particular on the site that's starting shit, I would probably get a letter from the mods telling me to cut it the fuck out or else I'd get banned, or something. And believe me, there are a few

T'was Not A Charm This Time: Feature Box Special #03 · 11:34pm Sep 24th, 2014

Third time's apparently the charm, but I really don't feel like it ever is when it comes to the Featured Box. That's right, I'm doing yet another round of these reviews, and no, I don't plan on giving it up anytime soon. Don't bother crying for me, I was dead the moment I stepped on shores of River Styx that is Fimfiction. Morbid similes aside, let's have a look at the damage this week, shall we? (Once again, I simply grabbed a screenshot of the box yesterday, and started reviewing each one as

Late To The Punch, Once Again: Feature Box Special #02 · 3:34pm Sep 17th, 2014

So, I decided to bite the bullet and do another round of reviews. And why not? I mean, like I said last week, it's not like I have better things to do on Tuesdays. (Or Wednesdays, shut the fuck up, I was delayed again.) So let's have a look at today's featured lineup that I grabbed earlier.

As usual, the box looks as... "enticing" as ever. Ignoring the bottom three updated fics, we've got:

- A typical no-frills shipfic.

But For Me, It Was Tuesday: Feature Box Special · 8:27pm Sep 10th, 2014

Just a little note: Yes, this review was delayed quite a bit, due to computer issues. I didn't want to wait until next Tuesday and redo it, and I didn't feel like editing this to include the other stories that got into featured at the time I started, so, fuck that shit. I'm posting it a day late anyway. Deal with it.

Mystquestria: Out Not With A Bang... · 11:19pm Sep 5th, 2014

...But with a whimper. And what a pitiful little whimper it is. This is more of a status update than anything (yes this blog is micro-sized compared to my usual output, deal with it), as this has happened merely a few hours ago... but, for those followers of mine that remember Mystquestria, you may or may not be pleased to know that Citadork has finally thrown in the towel, deleted the story, and left his account. Allegedly, for

With Regards To Trends And Fadfics · 10:37am Sep 4th, 2014

It's been a while since I've gifted(?) you folks with a good, long rant, so I figured that I might as well write you up one while I stayed up all night long, so I hope you're fucking happy. And boy, do I ever have a topic for you this time... You see them in the new or updated stories box all the time. The stories that often follow the exact same formula every time, with only some minor variations. The ones that, despite being (for the most part) shoddily-written and with barely any

EDIT: The original blog I linked here has been removed and reposted, but I won't bother to link it here. Go find it yourself, since I no longer wish to contribute to this continued farce, and honestly, it's not worth your time. We will return to our regularly-scheduled blogging soon enough; if a mod wants me to remove this, please let me know, and I will do so.
