Fics I reviewed in May 2023 · 5:54pm Jun 30th, 2023

For reasons relating to with my last blog post and various things connected with that, I have been almost permanently tired over the last few weeks. One of the upshots of that is that I've been concentrating on things I need to do, to the detriment of some things I don't. One of those is this monthly update, but I am managing to get this out (just!) before the end of the month, so I'm quite pleased about that. Here we go... as always, click on the underlined intros to see the reviews

A great holiday... until the crash · 6:22pm Jun 20th, 2023

First up, everyone is physically okay. I'm not going to go into great detail here, but suffice it to say that while in Scotland with various family members, the car I was in (driven by my dad) was hit by the back corner of a lorry. That car is a write-off. While insurance will make a payment, it obviously won't be what the undamaged car was worth. As such, it's going to be a struggle for my parents. I will help where I can, but I also have little to spare* and so I think for the

Eurovision · 11:40pm May 13th, 2023

Sadly I can't find any ponified versions of Eurovision on here. There's a series by Ospero (starting here) that's inspired by a Eurovision song, but that's a different thing. Partly a consequence of the great dominance of American writers on this site, I suppose. As for tonight? Sweden's winning song was overrated. Finland deserved to win and came quite close. Switzerland did more poorly than it deserved. I voted

Fics I reviewed in April 2023 · 5:23pm May 10th, 2023

Because of my Easter break, there were only three Ponyfic Roundups in April, and as one of them was a Spotlight edition the actual total of stories covered was much lower than sometimes. Nevertheless, here's a summary of the fics I reviewed and how they scored. To comply with Fimfiction rules, Mature-rated fics are not directly linked; for those I've linked the author's username instead. Such fics are listed with [M] after their titles. (There are none this time, however.) To read the

His Dark Materials reread blog is a go · 12:12am Apr 12th, 2023

Before I forget yet again, I'll make a fairly rare non-Pony post. The His Dark Materials reread blog I said in February I was considering? It's happening, and indeed I'm now seven chapters into Northern Lights. Should anyone be interested, the relevant posts are on my Dreamwidth (the linked tag will give

Fics I reviewed in March 2023 · 8:46pm Apr 9th, 2023

There were five Wednesdays in March, and so there were five Ponyfic Roundups over on Louder Yay and 25 fics were featured in total. Here's the summary of titles and scores. To comply with Fimfiction rules, Mature-rated fics are not directly linked; for those I've linked the author's username instead. Such fics are listed with [M] after their titles.

Once again, here's a run-down of the stories I reviewed last month in Ponyfic Roundup on Louder Yay.

Considering a reread blog for His Dark Materials · 11:41pm Feb 26th, 2023

Not on here, I should say. While I'm fine with making the occasional non-MLP post, I certainly don't want to do a hundred or so of them! Why that many, I hear you ask? Because I am seriously tempted to do a chapter-by-chapter reread, blogging about it as I go. I have read the books before, more than once, but the idea still appeals. I expect it would be posted over on my Dreamwidth. If anyone's interested, keep an eye out as I'll

Fics I reviewed in January 2023 · 4:49pm Feb 12th, 2023

I did this for a while a long time ago, but I thought I'd experiment with bringing it back. Ponyfic Roundup on Louder Yay is and will remain an off-site feature, partly because it always has been and that's what makes it distinctive. However, I'm going to try posting a monthly summary here of the fics I review, which will go up a week or two after each month ends.

Cracking it open · 11:44pm Jan 28th, 2023

The term "cracking it open", for a book or an eye or whatever, is not, traditionally, standard British English usage. It's crept in in very recent years for the usual "American English gets everywhere" reasons, but it still feels a bit foreign. Maybe this is why I find it quite intrusive when a fic uses the term every bloody time Twilight opens a book. Just sayin'. :rainbowwild:
