Cleaning up my "stuff I should had posted" folder, I came across this, a response I wrote to the Bookplayer blogpost from a short while back[1].

The Princesses:

1. How old are Celestia and Luna?

Celestia and Luna are both approximately 3000 years old. They themselves don’t know the exact number, since calendars suffered severe changes during Discord’s reign.

First of all, check out Jade Singer's great rant about the psychological aspects in Daemon of Decay's "Asylum" – a still incomplete fic that is well worth your time.

Just a few this time. Expect a lot more this week, I wanna clean up all my pending reviews so I can focus on reading new things. This time around we have:

When Music is Silenced
The Good, the Bad, and the Ponies
Harpflank and Sweets: Simple is Best

As a reminder, scores are on a 0~10, with 3 representing a trully average fic, and 8 being where I can say I like/recommend a story.

My review for this story is up on the group, and can be found here. From my review summary:

The document that contained most of these reviews started with “Hey, it is Halloween!” Never let it be said that I am punctual, that would be a dirty lie.

The More Most Dangerous finalists, to be perfectly honest, didn't contain many fics I was willing to drop everything to go read. Not that they sounded bad, but many seemed like the kind of thing I don't tend to read.

Luckily, InquisitorM had the great idea of reviewing alternate finalists. So, check him out for the odd fics (3 of which are already up), while I tackle the even ones below, namely:

I sincerely have no idea why I keep trying to read stories labeled “Romance”. Maybe a part of me is actually hopeful that I will find a good one, but really, not only I dislike the majority of well regarded fics in that genre, but I tend to dislike them for the same reason. But for whatever reason I still try, and even manage to like one from time to time. Below you will find:

Lulamoon’s Castle
Twilight’s Monster
The Order
Little Gem
I Read That in a Book Once

Early Access games are the most frustrating experience possible. You know what you are getting into, but it still feels like going to a theme park and finding a whole section closed. Even the good ones, like Darkest Dungeon, leave you with a sensation of incompleteness after you are done with them. I am a strong advocate for games with real conclusions, so when you find out that the last level isn’t done, it makes the whole prior experience feel hollow.

Project Horizons is certainly the most famous of the Fallout Equestria side stories. It is also one of the longest fics of the fandom, standing at about 1.7M words, or almost 3 FoEs (as of Chapter 73). And it isn’t massive only in length, but also in scope, as it deals with almost a hundred unique characters with unique allegiances and personalities, connected in a complex political mesh, and by a lore that spans multiple time periods.
