    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

Another great fanfic idea from the official magazine · 6:01pm Apr 22nd, 2016

This is the title of the main story in the current issue of the (European) official MLP mag. In it, Twilight gets a letter from her brother admitting that he's worried about being a father. Twi sets off for Canterlot. Her plan? To help Shiny be a good father by reminding him what a good brother he was. Because, you know, these things are pretty much the same, right?

Is the European comic any good? IDW has been kinda in a slump lately, and I could always use a good pony comic.

Sounds like a great comedy/slice of life fic though.

3888745 It's heavily aimed at kids, and the stories reflect that. Not in the same market at all as the IDW comics. The brony crowd (including me) mostly buy it for the figurines they include some months. These are larger than a blind bag, and significantly better quality -- not quite up to Funko Mystery Minis, but not far off. This month we have Shining Armor himself (in his wedding outfit); last month we had Trixie.* EQD's feature on the Trixie issue (of course) gives you a pretty good idea of what the figure is like.

* The UK version (not sure about the others) also had a two-sided poster: the S5 cast on one side and the latest map of Equestria on the other.

Damn. Guess I'm back to hoping that IDW picks up again then. Those comics were how I got into ponydom, so like I said: really wanted to find good stuff.

He then teaches Flurry Heart how to fly a kite.

They never have a single fight.

Then he leaves to join the Royal Guard and...

Wait. c.c

Sounds like an incest story title.

It's not creepy.

I quote enjoyed the latest one (main-series #41, "Rainbow Dash and the Very Bad Day"), but far more for Andy Price's art than Katie Cook's writing.
