Review #14 - What am I Doing?, A Traveler of the Realm of Chaos, Luna's Turn · 4:07pm Dec 12th, 2016

Ok, I guess I read a lot of Rambling Writer's stuff because I really am not planning to do so many by him at the same time...

Anyway, here are today's reviews:

What am I Doing? by Rambling Writer
(Drama, Sad)
The Summer Sun Celebration. A holiday commemorating Celestia's triumph against Nightmare Moon. A day to herald in the coming of summer. One of the most amazing, most magnificent, most wonderful events in all of Equestria. But not for Celestia. For her, the "celebration" is nothing but regret.

Review
Celestia wonders why she is having a celebration on the day that Luna got banished.

This story, though good pacing for it's genre, is an oddly long read; and yet very short at the same time. It does, however, have few errors in the text which is typical of Rambling Writer. It also feels planned out due to most of it being back-flash-y-stuff. And the tags fit well.

Score: 8.5/10 Recommendation: Not Recommended.

Personal Thoughts: Don't get me wrong, it's a good read... it just doesn't have much for a plot.

A Traveler of the Realm of Chaos by Rambling Writer
(Adventure, Comedy
The Realm of Chaos. A bewildering, distorted mess of a place, where black is white, up is down, short is long, and the laws of physics sometimes forget to exist. Someplace only the bravest, boldest of ponies would dare to go. And yet, this pony not only goes there but does so so frequently it has become routine. This is just one of their many, many journeys.

Review
The Mail-pony thinks about how routine the realm of chaos is while going through it with Discord's mail.

This story has fairly good pacing considering the topic. It has few errors in it, which is nice, and typical of Rambling Writer. And it seems rather planned out for a story such as it. However, it didn't strike me as an "Adventure" story, nor did it have much for "Comedy."

Score: 7/10 Recommendation: Read it if you have time, but don't make a special trip.

Personal Thoughts: Interesting topic, and well written... it is just kinda, for lack of a better word, pointless.

Luna's Turn by NixWorld
(Comedy, Random)
Luna wants to send Celestia to the Sun. But first, she's going to have to ask for permission. Complications occur.

Review
Luna wants to send Celestia to the sun for two hours. Celestia and Luna's Guards agree to start a war for said two hours. Celestia gets banished for 2,000 years.

This story has great pacing, though it could use a sequel. It has a few punctuation possibilities surrounding the dialogue that I noticed. It does not seem very planned out, but that is exactly why it is such a great read. And the tags fit quite well.

Score: 8/10 Recommendation: Recommended.

Personal Thought: An amazingly hilarious story, and it could really use a sequel.
