Well, here we are at episode four. And it's another hard one to critique, because it's another one that really relies on its jokes. It's actually kind of repetitive, with the bulk of the episode being Applejack screwing up, then Twilight trying to talk to her. I suppose it's a sign of this show's writing strength that I didn't notice until I sat down to analyze it.

So, episode three is nothing new. Not even to the My Little Pony franchise, there was an episode of Tales that used the same plot (still need to watch that show). But plots need not be original to be entertaining.

So, this is where it all began... okay, this is where G4 began. This was the very first episode of FiM. How is it?

...pretty meh, actually. Part 1 handles itself pretty well. You meet everyone, and get a feel for their personalities (Spike's poor assisting notwithstanding). It's the mandatory "meet everyone" episode. It's done well, don't get me wrong, but it's kind of feel like we're going through the motions when we get to Ponyville.

I've been chipping away at the next chapter of Through the Mirror. It's a challenge, since the chapter is a date between Twilight and Flash and two characters falling in love over a few days is hard. But while I was writing, something occured to me:

I need to rewatch the actual show. Beginning to end.

I have a new chapter of Raising Spike up!

New chapters of Through the Mirror and Integration coming as well.

I'm sorry for not updating last week. I'm trying to keep weekly updates going.

So, there's another reading of one of my fics. This time, it's of Campfire Chat.

Hear it here.

Not bad for a fic I wrote for a laugh.

Well, the world's still going to hell in a manner I never thought I'd see, but you know what? These hard times will come to an end. And to remind myself of that, I'm putting up my fanfiction "To-Do" list. I'm going to make my plans knowing I'll get a chance to act on them. So for starters:

Fics to Finish

Direction
Through the Mirror
The final Nuptialverse story
The last Longingverse story
Integration
Raising Spike

Well, got another new chapter up. That's good. Hopefully, I can keep this up.

I'm now working on a new chapter of Raising Spike. By the time it's finished, April will roll around, and I'll start working on Through the Mirror.

Hope you guys are staying safe, and I hope the distancing isn't getting to you.

Well... this didn't turn out to be the usual election year health scare. Yeah, never thought it would get this point.

I was excited to have a 9 to 5 again so I could have a social life, but now that I have one everything is closed. Even BABSCon got cancelled. Granted, I wouldn't have been able to go anyway, but that's still depressing.

The hardest thing about finishing up old stuff is remembering what has happened in canon at that point.

Just a reminder, as part of my new schedule, I will be giving the most attention to whatever's oldest, in an effort to finish things up. With the exception of Integration, which is going to be a long, long pet project.

So, in order of priority:

Integration
Direction/Through the Mirror (alternating updates)
Raising Spike
