This is not a My Little Pony post. Suffice it to say that I was generally very pleased with the first episode of His Dark Materials, which went out on BBC1 a few hours ago and will appear in other places on HBO tomorrow (Monday). A few niggles here and there, and the inevitable problem of not being able to translate everything in a novel like Northern Lights to the screen. Overall, though? Very good. Ruth Wilson's Mrs Coulter is up there with Nicole Kidman's, and Kidman was

You're very welcome!

Found and RiLed. Or whatever the verb is! And re the con blogs, cheers! The next one for me may well be UKPC next year; while Griffish Isles isn't entirely out of the question, it's awkwardly timed very close to a holiday.

(*You know what I mean.)

Well you're very kind, chum! That story had a name change prior to publishing, but as I've only got four stories it should be easy to find! Ha.

Feels like a good time to also mention that I've enjoyed your Con summaries! Here's to the next one, eh?

Yes, it was that one! Someday, I may see if I can change Rainbow's behavior towards the end, along with the other things.

Again, thank you.

A very belated "You're welcome!" I intend to read more, but don't hold your breath!

Nothing wrong with that. I mean, I like "Newbie Dash", and that's practically a hanging offence in some parts of the fandom.

Oh, the stories! Treasure was the sort of read that makes me want to read more by its author. I also like to support good new* authors, and you certainly fit that category. I'll certainly be adding Firestorm to my RiL list when it's out. (*You know what I mean.)

Hello! It was Terror of the Flutterbat, wasn't it? You're welcome, of course. As I said there, it was the technical aspects that slightly let the story down. I think it could have been a fairly comfortable three-star story with those fixed. The actual ideas were interesting, and that's the most important thing, as improving the technical stuff is more straightforward.

Hi there!

Remember that time when I told you to review one story of mine if you wanted? Well, that was some time ago, but I didn't know you had the reviews written in another site.

I see you rated my story with two stars, but it's fine. I mean, I guess the pacing was a bit rushed, and other things weren't good.

Anyways, thank you for taking the time to review my story.

Warm thanks for the follow! If it was because of my stories, then I'm delighted you enjoyed them. If it's for some other reason then I'm happy all the same.
