Hyrule Warriors seem to have stolen my soul, forcing me to spend all my free time with that game. While I try to break free, have some comedies. Below you will find:

Pipsqueak’s Day Off
Long Story Short, Things went Down
Of Birds and Bees and Awkward Things
Foxtrot Unicorn Charlie Kilo
Philomeanie
Small-town Charm
Opposites Absolutely do NOT Attract!

I have read a lot of Pascoite’s stories lately, or at least my distorted concept of lately that seems to include “last year”. In order not to have a review of his stuff in every post for the foreseeable future, have a compilation. Reviewed at no discernible order, you will find below:

Pilgrimage
There Will Never be a Last Laugh
The Colors of a Rainbow
Making Friends
A Hiccup in Time
A Taxing Situation

Here are reviews for a special category of fics, the ones I have a hard time fitting into neat labels. This is an interesting bunch, universally unique, so it seemed like a good idea to review them together. Here you will find:

Monochrome
Returning Away
The Library of Discord
Three Nights
Lyra Beyond the Walls of Sleep

As a reminder, scores are in a 0~10 scale, with 3 representing a mediocre fic, and 8 being where I can say I like a story.

This time around, I have another long fic, one that manages to be interesting and remarkable while juggling numerous flaws.

Back from the dead! Or, more precisely, vacation, as I took the month off to explore the vast, uncharted territories of New York City and Washington DC. Must say, you Americans certainly got nice cities. Was planning on posting something before, but travel arrangements always take more time than you could ever plan for.

InquisitorM posting this blog this week was an interesting coincidence. After reading it, I knew I had to make a post about something I have been meaning to talk about for a while.

I'm currently in the process of reviewing all the short fics from this write-off, so have a single review – a criminally under-appreciated story at that.

In an Alternate Equestria, Applejack helps an investigator catch a serial killer.

And now, for something completely different: music! More specifically, pony themed concept albums. There have been a handful of these on the fandom so far and, beyond ponies, this kind of thing has always fascinated me – in fact, most of my favourite albums are concept albums. So, why not? Below are the 4 that were released in 2014 so far that I am aware of, namely:

The Pink Side of the Moon
Destiny: A Tale of Unicorn Wings
The Ministry Mares
Moonrise

In a future Equestria, Princess Luna battles for robotic equality.

Shipping! My old nemesis indeed. It is not that I hate a shipping story on principle, it is just that nothing about it gives me the instant gratification some readers seem to get, and most of what is left seems pretty shallow. Below are a handful I have encountered recently(ish), namely:

The Shadow of a Doubt
A Faded Touch of Blue
Wet Feathers
Thou Goddess
Temporary Hiatus
The Terrifying Prospect of Swans in Love
Royals
The Traveling Tutor and the Diplomats Daughter
