To anyone who's having a bad day, or has had one, or might ever have one, I present to you this little motivational message from Scribbler:
And hallelujah, ctrl-shift-V is a miracle! :D

Did you know I follow 26 people who haven’t written anything? Crazy, right? Some of them are admins who aren’t writers. Some are musicians or VAs who aren’t writers. And then there are the people who I hang around with all the time and tend to forget are not writers. And then I judge them. I am judging them right now because they need to start writing. :|
VisualPony has done a reading of TheOnly's Sweetie Belle Finds Out Where Babies Are Made!
Scribbler's newest reading is KwirkyJ's minific Grounded, with Clever Hooves!
I've got a conundrum: where do new or struggling authors on this site go for help? Times past, I'd recommend groups like Authors Helping Authors, but it's been so long, I don't know what might be active anymore. And in a community this size, the best editors are going to be in high demand, meaning there's never enough people available to help the ever-burgeoning numbers of needy writers, those editors get swamped or burnt out, and the options and opportunities continue to shrink. Help a guy
Our new fic reader is Brian Random! Amazingly, not only is he still active, he's still doing pony stuff, though his channel is mostly song covers, VA work and comic dubs. He in fact didn't do a whole lot of fic readings even when he was doing them, so it's almost a little unfair to judge him by that. But what he's got, you'll find here.
Hey, uh, does anyone remember me reviewing When I Was Thirty by shortskirtsandexplosions? I know I read it (I fav’d it) and I feel like it wasn’t that long ago, but I don’t have a record of it in my spreadsheet. Meaning I either never reviewed it, or did and forgot to write it down. :/ I hate doing things twice, which is why I want to be sure before I go back through it for a review.
And yeah, I kind of felt like reading the other day, so this one’s packed.
Winged T. Spears has done readings of Titanium Dragon's The Collected Poems of Maud Pie, Let's Just Say by Obselescence, and Twilight Sparkle Goes to Bed by Agent Bookfort! I can see he's going to be prolific. c.c Also, Scribbler's done Mythril Moth's Rainbow
Happy Friday the 13th!

...Not a lot of variation this time around, but a great crop of stories nevertheless.

When it gets below 20 degree Fahrenheit, it stops mattering what the number is beyond "COLD". But damn, is it cold out right now.
In case you've not seen it in someone else' blog, Novel Idea and her family need help!
Because the call went out just after I'd posted another review, I wanted to get a new blog out as soon as possible. So I've done the reverse of what I did last time: We've got a story I came across and needed to read, followed by four things off the top of my RIN. Digging way back for some of these!
To my detriment, I’ve been playing a lot of Sentinels lately, so much that A) I’m not getting shit done that I should, and B) I came up with a crossover idea. I pray to God I never write it, because it’s so dumb. D:
Hey guys, check out this comic dub I did of one of weaver’s FNaF things!
Apparently, my fic made the featured box for a hot minute. :B Cool. (Also, if you abbreviate the title, “YCGYF” sounds like Ye Olde Englishe. :V)
Loganberry is turning out to be quite the mover and shaker. He writes, he reads fic, and now he reviews! Yes, he’s the head of Louder Yay, and I rather like his review style, so check him out. :D
This just in: Fimfiction revealed to be only 11% porn!
I'd have had more today, but I messed something up. :P (Also, I was gonna put something here, but I forgot what.) Still, a couple of really good things that I stumbled upon in this one!

Let Her In by TooShyShy
Reading by Scarlett Blade
Reading by Winged T. Spears
I've got about two hours left in my audiobook, so things will get back to normalish by the end of the week. Which is unfortunate, because I've also got like two editions to do. D: Oh well. No news today, just reviews of stuff I mostly pre-read for EQD! Because I'm apparently doing that again! :V Note that stories may change from the original version I read.

Scribbler's newest reading is KenSES64's AK Yearling Tries to Write a Sex Scene, with Agent0Fluffy, Neighrator Pony, Quill N Lead and Animelodie!
Hey, did you know SPark has made some zines? Go check them out!
Our next reader is SJF95fighter, who hasn't uploaded a fic reading in three years or a video at all in 6 months, so I don't hold out hope for more. :B He's only got five other readings past the one I reviewed previously, including Final Draft's A Generic Story, so I am adding in MrLeftTurn, who only
Happy September, I guess! :B Let's start the month off with five random stories. One was a prequel to something on my audiobook list, so I wanted to get this out quickly. Also, because I'm maybe halfway through the contest edition I'm still working on. D: I might do another plain review blog before I start the audiobooks, we'll see.
Not an edition this time, though there are a couple related stories here. I just had a few readings come up of sequels to things I hadn't read, and though they both stand alone quite well, you know how I get with this stuff. <.<
