    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

The Danger Within is out · 7:30pm Jan 11th, 2018

It's been far too long since I last published anything (late February, in fact!), so here's a real live new story from me. Placeholder title image for now; it will probably be changed at a later date:

TThe Danger Within
A magical accident at a castle garden party leaves Fancy Pants, Rarity and Fluttershy apparently alone in the middle of... somewhere. But where, and how will they make it home?
Loganberry · 8.8k words  ·  14  1 · 552 views

This is being written primarily to break a tremendously stubborn block, so I'm deliberately going to push it out quite fast -- very fast by my molasses-like standards. That means it's probably going to contain some silly errors, so it may not be for you if you're looking for beautifully crafted prose. As you can see from the description, it's not a stunningly original setup, either. What I hope this fic will be is an enjoyable, not too demanding story that you can easily zip through a chapter of when you have a few minutes to spare.

Fancy Pants is the main protagonist because... well, because I like him. What better reason could there be? Fluttershy and Rarity are there partly because they're more appropriate for reasons I haven't yet got to, and partly because I think they're underused as a team in the show.

If you stick around for the longer haul, you'll realise that the [Adventure] tag is absolutely the right one for this story!

And the danger without

Is in

Cool! What a great set of characters for an adventure! Insta-track! :pinkiehappy:

Well, I can already tell I’m gonna love this.

Heh. I got Fancy Pants in my blindbag the other day :)

I've always liked Fancy Pants, and I think Fluttershy and Rarity work well together. (The show writers don't seem to, though, grumble complain.) Whether I can make the combination work remains to be seen. But thank you for the interest! :yay:

That's more than I can. :raritywink:

Gosh, I can't remember when I last bought one of those! A big problem is that we're still stuck with the Nightmare Nights-themed bags in many shops, about two years after they came out. :P
