Going on a short hiatus until I can get my stuff together and find someone to help run this little review blog with me. I'm sorry, but I have to practice for my band, get ready for this up-and-coming fall semester, tackle some yardwork, and other IRL things.
'Til then, pony on.

Into the Everfree
[Link to story here]
So there's a little backstory behind this fanfic as well, but it doesn't have to do with an author that can't handle criticism well. It has to do with a small experiment that FiMFiction pulled on their site, though. See, there was a group formed of twenty-five or so authors, under the name League of Extraordinary Gentlecolts (and one gentlefilly), who swapped stories with each other and basically did an experiment on Brand Loyalty.
See, this was under the guise of butterscotchsundae, an author more notorious for shipfics and more emotional pieces, so it makes sense in a way. She actually wrote the fanfic Fluttershy's-Infernal-Adventures, which was originally going to be called 'Fluttershy Goes to Hell', but that name was taken already. The actual author was Obselescence, who does more Comedy/Slice of Life stories with one or two Sad stories to boot. Don't you love all these hyperlinks that I'm throwing at you?
So how did Obselescence do? Find out after the break.

Celestia
[Link to story here]
This was a difficult story to review.
It fit all the guidelines for me to review it, so on paper it should've be entirely possible, given a few reads and some introspection afterwards, that I should've easily been able to sit myself down and type up a bunch of words, seeing as that's my job on this blog. So, what's kept me from giving a concise and more conventional review for this story? Did I even like this story? Find out after the break.

A Follow-Up To Birds Of A Feather
(AKA A post containing a reasonable explanation on why I can't review the sequel to my last review's fanfic.)
So I promised at the end of my review of Birds Of A Feather that I'd go over the sequel Flock Together. I'm not the kind of person that likes to let people down, but I'm afraid that Flock Together is unreviewable. This isn't because its extremely horrible or anything, but there is a legitimate reason, and some discussion about how it fairs with the original story, after the break.
