I'm just blogging this story by someone because I think it's unusually good fimfic, a standout. · 12:09am Nov 27th, 2023

EThe Piper at the Gated Lawn
Snails has a secret: a secret power only he can wield, a secret batch of knowledge only he can grasp, a whole secret world over which he rules as an absolute monarch. Secret except, y'know, it's right there on his flanks...
AugieDog · 6.1k words  ·  54  2 · 527 views

This story provides Snips and Snails a great backstory, interesting personalities, an entertaining and very convincing first person narrator character voice, and quite a fun and often funny plot.

Random Story Recommendations — Issue #II · 4:28am Dec 4th, 2015

Hey look. Roman numerals. Aren't I pretentious.

Whatever. Here’s some story recommendations.

(For the record, the first review was actually written when the story was still in the "New Stories" box, but I'll be holding off publishing it until I have a few other stories I wanna recommend. So if it's gotten more popular over the ensuing weeks… then… who cares, exactly. Get off my case.)

Some fic recomendations · 8:45am Jan 20th, 2016

Not usually a big person for doing this but I feel like referring a few fics that aren't getting the love they deserve, don't expect in depth analysis I've never been one to do so as it often lessens the joy I get from reading.

Let's do this.

Blog to recommend · 7:24pm Sep 3rd, 2015

I would like you all to meet this lovely lady:
Anniethorbo.
She's been with me since my early Tumblr days and she's been one of my greatest friends. She's just getting started on FiMFiction but with any luck she'll get into MLP and we can all give her a proper welcome.

Here's her Tumblr. It's awesome.

So yeah, Annie, this is your shout-out.

Fic Recommendation: Scarlet · 5:05am Jan 16th, 2020

So, this isn't quite a review, but I've had it with this story not getting the attention it needs.

TScarlet
Forced to leave her peaceful hometown and flee for her life alongside a mysterious orphan filly named Primrose, New Equestrian war-veteran Scarlet Frost will have to use every resource at her disposal just to stay alive.
Skijarama · 196k words  ·  215  2 · 3.4k views

Scarlet is a intrigue/drama/action story about a war-scarred mare, Scarlet, who has her life overturned when she finds a filly named, Primrose, in her house on a stormy night.

Why You Should Read ... Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium · 8:34pm Nov 10th, 2017

So I'm trying something new today here at Unusual Things. I've had the idea for a post series like this in the back of my head for a while now, and while it's not going to be a regular series like Being a Better Writer is, I do hope it might be an occasional counterpart.

some random albums · 8:18pm Jan 9th, 2021

If you guys have followed me for a while, you'd know that once upon a time, I would dole out a post that highlights all the progress I've done and all my plans for the corresponding month. I would also headline them with a set of album covers that I've been listening to that month, though it never went beyond that.

This is a post that will go beyond that.

The Closet #5: Butterscotch Cream · 8:19pm Jun 12th, 2022

Howdy, hi, this is DaOtterGuy, and welcome to The Closet!

This will be a weekly Sunday Blog Posting to share and recommend my favourite LGBT+ fics on the site. The basic rules are that it has to be a story I've read, be LGBT-focused, and can't be my own.


This Sunday we have an Original Character entry in Sunshine by Butterscotch Cream!

BUCK it, I'm blogging someone's story just because I think it's fun and good and well-written. · 2:09am Oct 16th, 2022

Edited to add: In view of the second seven chapters that were added to the story after the first seven, this story still has many good qualities, but some of the additions are not exactly 'fun' in the most direct sense. I still recommend it as an interesting AU, though.

When a story that is imho good and more fun as a story and better written than most fimfiction.net stories just doesn't fit the demographic and gets an amazingly low number of reads...(at least so far)

Top 5 Stories - In the wake of reading 100 fics · 6:41pm Jul 4th, 2015

Whoa. When I joined this little community, I honestly didn't expect to stay this long. But for the past few months it became almost an everyday routine for me to start reading MLP fics at 10 pm until midnight, when I usually go to sleep. And come to think of it, this prepares me to sleep much better than trying to improve my CSGO skills, which usually ends with me rage-quitting and loudly cursing the living hell out of all russian players. It certainly does not help my mind to rest for the

Members Needed! · 9:56pm Jul 5th, 2015

For some time, I have consdered starting a group that existed for readers to ask for story recommendations based on what elements and other criteria they want to see. However, I just haven't had the motivation to do it.

Today, I found a new-ish group with a very simular premise, but it is in serious need of members.

If anyone is interested, the group is The related story finders.

It's been quite a while since I last posted one of these, but here we are again. I might have been tempted to review this fic, rather than recommend, but it's early days yet. For now though, I have a recommendation, my good ladies and gentlemen.

Look! DbzOrDie finally wrote a fic! · 2:47am Sep 24th, 2012

Anyone who has ever paid any attention to me has probably heard me talk about DbzOrDie. He's one of my best friends, as well as being 90% of the reason I ever write anything, between our brainstorming sessions and him pushing me to finish things and proofreading everything I write.

Understanding Fiction · 8:35pm Feb 4th, 2015

I was writing an essay about how fan-fiction transcends literary movements, and got stuck on New Criticism. Everybody said it was important, but I didn't know how it fit into my grumpy meta-narrative that those damn 20th-century kids ruined everything.

Recommendations of Tonkus · 8:54pm May 18th, 2021

Because I have nothing else to do right now. Have a list of stories I really like, in no particular order. Some of these have commentary. :V
A lot of these stories are older fics. I stopped reading nearly as many fics here after a while due to time after high school and college began.

EAfter Eternity
Luna discovers a vast and ancient being approaching Equus. When she and Celestia go to meet it, they see into the early dawn and eternal twilight of their universe.
