Read It Now Reviews #51 – The First Rain of Spring, Any Other Business, The Problem with Pegasi, Hey Jealousy, babytails · 10:33pm Sep 8th, 2015

I hope you all had a good Labor Day weekend! Sorry for the relative dearth of reviews lately; I’ve been trying to get some stuff written, as well as review stories for the Writeoff. But I’ve been cheating on my writeoff reviews with reading some other stories as well, either recommended to me or written by folks that I follow.

Today’s stories:

The First Rain of Spring by CalmNQuiet
Any Other Business? by Ghost of Heraclitus

Read It Now Reviews #101 – You Can Always Come Home, Best Friends, The Sounds of Lunacy, Important News from the Future, Funny… · 3:06am Jan 21st, 2017

Been a while since I did a set of recent story reviews. I really need to get back on the horse, so to speak; I spend far too much time doing things that are far less enjoyable than reading pony fiction.

Today’s stories:

You Can Always Come Home by Entity Relationship

Read It Now Reviews #99 – Once More, With Feeling; Coco Beware; I Wouldn’t Call It Chores; The Pony Pull; The Drop of Ambrosia · 9:33pm Nov 7th, 2016

Happy Monday, folks! And what a Monday it is. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the eldritch monstrosities from beyond the stars have been beaten back to the far side of the Moon, with everyone’s memories of their attack erased.

Good times.

Read It Now Reviews #63 – Colors of the Soul, Unfair, Did Not, The Ever Ash Project, Denial · 2:32am Dec 4th, 2015

With season 5 over, it is time for people to release their reaction fics. I expect that this season finale will be fertile ground for fanfics for many months to come. I myself have some ideas, but I am going to try and push out a lot of stories I’ve got in my pipeline first.

Of course, there’s another writeoff coming up in just a few weeks, so maybe it won’t be such a long delay after all…

Recommended Story Reviews #16 – The Numbers Don’t Lie, Disgraced, Learning Curves, An Afternoon for Dotted Line, Friends With Discounts · 12:26pm Jan 30th, 2017

Recently, I’ve been trying to be more productive. There are all too many times where I’m aware that I’m wasting my time, and I’m trying to make more of an effort to divert said “dumb time” into time where I actually accomplish something of value.

We’ll see how well it goes, but I’ve managed to put out a review set every other day since I started. So, progress, right?

Recommended Story Reviews #10 – The Wrong Fork, Who We Are, The 18th Brewmare of Bluey Napoleon, Scoots’ Company, Little Deceptions · 12:19am May 28th, 2016

It has been a long time since my last recommended stories post, but I figured that before a nice long three day weekend (at least, here in the states, where Memorial Day is on Monday), some folks might want some good stuff to read.

All of these are taken off my favorites stories list from before I started writing reviews, so all of them are very good stories. Some of you may have read some of these, but if you haven’t, you shouldn’t keep missing out.

Read It Now Reviews #49 – Great Big Sky, The Rainbow’s Realisation, The Interview, Everypony Lives, Mamunia · 12:00am Aug 30th, 2015

Today’s Read it Now Reviews are brought to you by procrastination. Procrastination – where you get everything done except the thing with an actual due date.

Though at least it finally made me catch up on SS&E’s recent works, read a few RariLight stories (a ship that I have long-neglected to read many stories about), and make more progresss on Mistletrapped.

It's that time again! That magical time when TD publishes a story and then goes on a reading spree to see what he missed while he was editing his work.

The review set is only a day late. Shhh.

But yes, I did publish a story earlier this week, and I'm rather proud of it:

The Fated Hour

Comedy, Romance

Read It Now Reviews #91 – Cherish, At the Riverside, You Can’t Always Get What You Want, Letters from an Irradiated Princess, The Majestic Tale of a Noble Hunter · 9:34pm Aug 24th, 2016

Sorry about the dearth of posts recently. I told myself that I’d get one of my stories done before I did some other pony stuff, and it turns out I’m really, really good at procrastinating.

On the upside, it did finally force me to actually get my story done! I’ve been sitting on it for far too long – in fact, I started on it before the Season 6 premier, and then managed to procrastinate on it for half a year.

But now it is done, and I am pretty happy with the result.

At one point, I was hoping to get at least one set of recommended story reviews done per month, meaning it would only take me, oh, a couple years to finish reviewing all the stories I would recommend or highly recommend but read before I started writing reviews.

It has been a bit slower than that. Still, I do hope you folks enjoy these.

The Fourth of July, the day wherein Americans celebrate their country by blowing up a small part of it.

Reading pony fanfiction, clearly!

Holiday Story Reviews #1 –There Is Love Beyond What Lingers, Hearth Swarming Eve, Three Nights, A Canterlot Carol, Hearth’s Warming Cookies, The Season of Grace · 1:10pm Dec 26th, 2015

I made the fatal mistake this holiday season of overcommitting myself. I tried to get so many things done, I failed to get almost any of them done in time for my online friends.

But it is the holidays. And just as my mother orders things from Amazon and sometimes gets them on December 30th instead of the 24th, it is still part of the 12 days of Christmas, right?

That’s totally how it works, isn’t it? :trixieshiftright:

They say that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

In the end, though, I generally find it more like rolling a rock down a hill – once you get started, it is a lot easier to keep going.

Three days of reviews in a row! It has been a while since I pulled that off, but I really thought I should get caught up on my reading. Alas, the actual writing front hasn’t been going quite as well, though I have gotten some work done on a number of stories – but not gotten any of them finished.

Ah, well. Hopefully these reviews will tide you over.
