More comedy! I hit a patch of those in my reading, so have a bunch. Below you will find:

A Day in the Life of Truth Seeker: Ponyville’s Resident Conspiracy Theorist
Bitter Harvest
A Rock and a Hard Place
Cousin Braeburn Writes a Crop-fic
Twilight Gets Divorced
The Wonderful Life of Berry Punch
Today is a Good Day to Die

As a reminder, scores are in a 0~10 scale, with 3 representing a truly mediocre fic.

Spike loved Rarity,
whom loved Applejack,
whom loved Rainbow Dash,
whom loved Pinkie Pie,
whom loved Fluttershy,
whom loved Twilight,
whom loved nopony.

Spike slept for a century,
Rarity moved to Manehattan,
Applejack died in a fire,
Rainbow Dash married her job,
Pinkie Pie just kept on partying,
Fluttershy got lost in the woods,
and Twilight Sparkle married Captain Flash Sentry that wasn't in the story.

Best possible misuse of a dead poet's work.

Topicality? In this blog? Nothing short of madness, I say! Still, all the cool kids are doing it, so why not? Below are reviews for the 5 contest finalists of The Most Dangerous Game, ranked at the bottom.

By the way, I should note that I wrote these in a manner very distinct from my usual style of read-it-and-post-1-month-later, so expect some additional rambling. Below you will find:

I can hardly believe it has been a month since I last posted anything. Suffice to say, it involves a combination of work, WildStar, and the World Cup.

Character Studies! Below are those I group in this vague category, containing fics focused around one character, and that above all manage to delve a little into its character’s mind. Most are fairly short, but I doubt that Rarely they are long, falling closer to the short-story side of the length spectrum, and when done right, can reach some pretty great heights.

Below are reviewed:

Happy Ending
The Riddle
Born on a Rock Farm
Drift
Pinnacle
Thy Words…
Elegy of Emptiness

I tend to find changelings very interesting not only from a worldbuilding point of view, but also when you consider the kind of stories that can be told with them. They represent a culture parallel but intersecting with equestrian own, they allow for the raising of questions of identity and existence considering how they interact with other ponies, and are alien enough to be alternatively dangerous and lovable. Below are reviewed:

Flitter
A Novel Tale
Integration
Body and Mind
