I haven't posted anything in a while for a multitude of reasons. Most of that is because I haven't been reading too much pony fic lately. I'm currently trying to reduce a bit my general literature queue – I should probably make a post about it. Also, I'm working on a quite large review, one that wound up demanding quite a bit of side reading – hopefully, Part I will be out this week. And I am also trying to finish writing something – by the way, drop me a line if you can do some proofreading.

I managed to finish an entry to the More Most Dangerous contest, called The Last Orchard. Well, finish might be too strong a word here, since I kinda cheated a bit. Originally, the current “ending” was going to be just the first half of the story. It would end quite a bit like My Little Dashie, only with a significant twist… except I never managed to think of an interesting angle. So, instead of forcing a lackluster ending, I

Everytime you people post things about how “it is too cold to go outside” or “it has snowed again”, I look outside my window at this hellish tropical Summer, and wonder what kind of person would prefer being slowly cooked alive over some snow. I can’t even open my window, since mosquitos would just eat me alive, so I have to stay here, with the heat sapping all my strength. Can’t wait to go back to working somewhere with proper air conditioning.

The Most Dangerous Game was a gold mine of awesome fics. I went through all the finalists before, but I also saved a bunch others that managed to catch my eye. Considering that a new edition is starting soon (hopefully I will finish a fic this time), it seems only fair to kick 2015 with reviews for the ones I missed. Have them here, in order:

All Skin and Bones
In Times of Need
HOME
A Brush With Beauty
Johnny Never Knew What Hit Him
Two Roaming Souls
Trial by Flower

On my brother’s recommendation/insistence, and thanks to the magic of Humble Bundle, I recently read the Hunger Games trilogy via audiobook. Were this a review, I’d rate them, in order, 4, 5, and 6.5. Not enough for me to recommend them, but in so far as YA goes, you could certainly do a lot worse (Or you could do a lot better and go read Brandon Sanderson’s YA stuff, or Pennyroyal Academy).

Wow, 2 weeks without posting. Not my worst, but not something I was expecting. Essentially a combination of maratoning Babylon 5 with my usual lazyness.

This might be a bad idea… But here are reviews for every one of these Button Mash fics. I am going in fully expecting them to be on the troll side of the spectrum, but really, what is the worst that could happen? Presented in the order I read them, I have:

Button Goulash
Button Ash
Button Splash
Button Thrash
Button Dash
Button Nash
Button Vash

I compiled a spreadsheet containing all my reviews fics and scores. In doing so, I discovered that last week’s “Philomeanie” was my 100th reviewed fic! While not as many as I wish I had done so far, at least it’s a milestone. Hopefully I can stop being lazy, and get to 200 before the year’s end.

So, have some reviews! Bunch of sad stories this time around, including:
