New Reviewer 2

Another new reviewer! Of which I know nothing about since I was in high productivity mode and didn’t even skim the reviews as I added them to the BMRL. They did seem longer form than most.

New Reviewers

Today we have something I haven’t done in a while! New reviwer that I found! Who is no longer doing reviews and hasn’t been seen on the site since the middle of 2017. Each review post is about a single story and looks rough but sincere. Also, I get to be their 100th follower! Because I follow people who do reviews on the off chance they put out another one. Which, mind you, is exceedingly unlikely in this case but I couldn’t resist the allure of being the 100th one.

Review: The Rhesus Chart (Laundry Files Book 5)

The Rhesus Chart (Laundry Files Book 5) by Charles Stross

Following my successful re-read of the Honor Harrington series I decided to go back and read some of this (sorta) urban fantasy. It’s got some cool concepts and I enjoyed the first three a while back. The fourth I remember being a bit disappointing. Wasn’t that bad this time. Fifth one was… I don’t know. The writing is still good and I like the characters. It just lacks that ‘grab my brain and shake it in excitement’ spark that my favorite stories pull off. Since this is the fifth book in the series I would not suggest starting with it. Each of the stories is mostly self-contained so you wouldn’t be terribly lost for the most part, but a lot of the background and character development would be lost on you. I might give the next one a try but my main feeling now is that the big end-of-the-world event that the series has been building up to is more interesting than any of the stories that he could be telling at this point, so I want him to just jump to that.

My changeling cosplay at the con went perfectly, nobody mentioned it. Also doubles as ninja costume at anime conventions.

New Reviewers 27: The Last Review

Haven’t had a post like this for a while! Mostly because I stopped putting up one for every new reviewer I find if they only have a handful of reviews. Yet I need content and this guy is at least optimistic about doing more in the future, with the #1 in his post title and all.

So, welcome -Blue Jay- to the horrible, depraved cesspool of pony reviewers! New to FimFiction, no stories, and one blog post is a review post! He’s probably doomed. I mean, I thought I could get by with just reviews and no stories and look at me! The spitting image of a ponyfic author with one decent (if funny) finished story and a incomplete story that I’ll finish up one of these days (really! The second and final chapter is half-written down!). So only time will tell if mister Jay can resist the lure of authorship for long.

Blue Jay Reviews #1

Dat Booty by Summer Dancer
Who’s You Daddy? by Sporktacles
One Step Away by Oroboro

Based solely on the titles he covers and nothing else (including the actual stories with those titles) it looks like we’ve got a classy reviewer joining our ranks, folks. On the plus side he seems to be taking style notes from Titanium Dragon and possibility PaulAsaran to a lesser extent, so going for the quality angle I see.
