    Rainbows, eh?

    This is fortunately nothing to do with Zephyr Breeze's... distinctive way of addressing Ms Dash. It's simply that in a (print, hence no link) magazine earlier I found a comment by someone, himself gay, who said he'd stopped trying to work out which letters to include in LGBTIQA+ (or the many variations thereof) and simply referred to people who feel at home under that umbrella as

    The never-ending stor(e)y

    For some reason this is one of the points readers of mine (including off-site ones) have mentioned several times, perhaps because it's one of those Transatlantic divides that isn't all that well known. So: when you're talking about the floors of a building:

    US English: one story, two stories. The same spelling and the same plural as for the other kind of story.

    Fics I reviewed in April 2024 (and one from late March)

    By popular request¹ I'm bringing back this feature. My weekly Ponyfic Roundup reviews are, and will remain, on my off-site blog. It just suits me to do it that way, even if I'd probably have got significantly more of a readership had I written the blogs on Fimfiction as most (all?) other current reviewers do. However, a

    State of the Unicorn: Poor

    That's poor in both senses, I'm afraid! Though before I say any more, I need to stress that I have a warm, safe home, enough to eat, internet access... the essentials, really. I am not in danger of losing those. However, I won't be doing much beyond those essentials for a while. Without going into boring details, I will very shortly be going in for dental work to be done. Which, as

I now feel like a real writer · 9:01pm Oct 6th, 2015

Why? Because I have now joined the (not very) exclusive "Not Recommended by Titanium Dragon Club" for We Who with Songs Beguile. TD's review is quite interesting, and can be read here. I don't agree with it, of course, as I happen to think WWwSB is rather a good story -- but that doesn't mean I don't value what TD says there. There's nothing worse than only listening to positive reviews and ignoring constructive negative ones. Go and read the review and see what you think. :twilightsmile:

You know you've made it in this town when TD acknowledges your existence.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

Silliness aside, I do have to read that story at some point. I'll make a note of it and set aside some time for reading when I can, as you're a talented writer and the premise does seem quite interesting. Anyway, sorry to hear TD wasn't fond of your story, and I wish you all the best! :twilightsmile:

I have yet to receive a coveted TD Not Recommended review, though I think he's downvoted at least one of my stories. That's gotta count for something, right? Anyway, congrats? Yes, let's go with "congrats!"

Well! Congratulations... I think. :derpyderp2: I guess it's better to have had the story noticed, and taken a slice out of the reviewer's time, than not be noticed at all. Or something. :pinkiecrazy:

Sure, flaunt your famous horseword author status over the rest of us peons. Some of us get on just fine without having Titanium Dragon scoff at our fics.

Yep. Perfectly fine.
