So, unless my benefactor loses his job by then, looks like I’m going to be at Bronycon. Will be interesting to see what it’s like compared to other cons. Even at the price of skewing the demographics one more person towards the fat nerd guy side of the spectrum.

How Does She Do It? by The 24th Pegasus
Twilight is jealous that Starlight Glimmer apparently is seeing and/or sleeping with like four different ponies. Apparently doesn’t think about being proactive in her own romantic life, like say finding somepony and asking them out. This one actually helps out my headcannon that Starlight Glimmer is older than Twilight by a decade or so.

Eh, not terrible but this would have been better as a single chapter in a short story collection. Spike makes a simple mistake, of which we don’t get any details about the results.
Discord Day Care by Viking ZX
I enjoyed this one. Which, really, is no surprise given the author involved. It’s the second story I’ve read that dealt with Discord finding a purpose taking care of kids in some fashion. Now that I think about it, kind of strange that it seems such a rare angle to take with his character. Pretty good character study of Discord and a interesting look at the author’s version of pony with one or two pieces of worldbuilding hidden in the background. Viking VK is one of the authors that I recommend reading whatever story they put out, so you should go read this.
