Does anyone else find themselves reading a story slower when they know they are getting near the end and don’t want the story to stop? I’m finding myself doing that right now for a incomplete ponyfic I’m reading because I know there won’t be a satisfactory ending, because the story isn’t finished.

Emergency! The number of the post reminds me of something else and I find unintended references kind of amusing.

I’m not sure I’m going to continue using the minimalist review long-term. On one hand, it’s good for stories I don’t have to say a lot about but still want to mention I’ve read. On the other, it doesn’t actually let me say much about the story. On the gripping hand that’s kind of the point as a negative review for fan fiction is sometimes like kicking a puppy. At least for me.
