And one of those things is probably to be complete: I don't like the thought of spending years following a fic only to find that the author leaves the story unfinished in 2018 or something! This is also one reason I'm losing interest in the <i>Austraeoh</i> saga, and that <i>This Platinum Crown</i> isn't on my RiL list.<br /><br />What I do plan to do at some point is read something of more manageable length by Wanderer D. As I've said, I make a conscious effort <i>not</i> to concentrate on already-famous authors' works, but it is nice to read such things from time to time. Mr(?) D has 30 stories published, so I'd imagine I could find something more to my taste in that lot.Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-89509144019285522772015-01-06T23:37:04.063+00:002015-01-06T23:37:04.063+00:00Hmm, if FHFH is less good than S&H, I may give...Hmm, if <i>FHFH</i> is less good than <i>S&H</i>, I may give it a miss!

I'm sure you know the premise - Sweetie Belle jumping through various fanfic universes and facing challenges in each. Some of the stories you list feature in it, plus some others that I know you've read. Not to mention that TSC could count itself among those epic, groundbreaking stories from the early years of the fandom.<br /><br />I actually read TSC without reading a lot of the stories that feature in it, and I don't feel like that dampened my enjoyment any - if anything, it made it more exciting to be genuinely surprised by what was coming.<br /><br />The only downside is that TSC isn't finished yet and doesn't look it will be any time soon, but if you want to see a fantastic author revisit worlds that you've been to, it's the perfect fic. Also my all time favourite fic. ^^hawthornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169924099578602924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-2300576970649886172015-01-06T14:55:35.643+00:002015-01-06T14:55:35.643+00:00The Hard Reset Trilogy, Life and Times of a Winnin...The Hard Reset Trilogy, Life and Times of a Winning Pony, Integration, Shipping and Handling, and Flying High Falling Hard are the five 100k+ fics I've read, in rough order of brilliance. handyj443https://www.blogger.com/profile/14554490913937636998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-4637462846899898882015-01-06T13:38:41.570+00:002015-01-06T13:38:41.570+00:00I'm hoping that my favouritism towards Flutter...I'm hoping that my favouritism towards Fluttershy will help me with <i>Flash Fog</i>.

Past Sins is worth the read just because of how popular it is. I was underwhelmed with it, so not sure I'd recommend it on the merits of its story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
