So after a long break of not reading fanfic stories, I have picked it up again now (because, let's just say:
I have nothing else to do).
The story I read was this one
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/68128/three-hundred-and-fifty
(It plays before Twilicorn, canon-wise)
Just saying, I'm kind of passionate about reading fanfics again.
Does anyone else read any, and which ones? As for the ones I read before my break, I have a list somewhere...
I'll also put ratings, because I did keep track of such.
Most of those are probably just Scootaloo stories but I'm just putting it out there for curiousity sake. Also, I'm only listing the ones here that I feel special about.
Final Dream Of A Filly, by AmberWings (Donna-Drakain) 10/10
Things That Go South In The Night, by The_EE 5/10
Loss, by Caffum 9/10

A Broken Bond, by Rated-R PonyStar 7/10
Transcendence, by Corejo 9/10
Our True Colors, by Donny's Boy 8/10
Not All Who Wander Are Lost, by RazedRainbow 10/10 (Unfinished)

Cutie Mark Clarity, by ladydestinae 8/10
Of Challenges and Kisses, by RavensDagger 9/10
The End of Ponies, by short skirts and explosions 10/10
Because someone in IRC did ask what was the
pony-related thing I wanted to do, here is some information:
Final Dream Of A Filly was a short fanfic story that has touched me greatly - it was the first one I have read just after I got into MLP and while you might think of it as
another lousy Scootaloo is an orphan story I just can't help but have a special feeling for it. I have set it to my mind that I would make it into a comic. But since I lack the motivation and willpower to actually go draw it, it never took off. I had finished the first page and lineart for some more pages but I was not content with it so I stopped it.
Now that Scootaloo has
gotten her cutiemark it seemed to me like the story has become void. I particularly remember one part of the story that would not have worked out anymore:
Applebloom telling Scootaloo that even if she does not find her special talent, she will go on looking for hers.
I might or might not work on anything now. I don't really know. I haven't been feeling like even drawing simple pictures anymore, but lately I feel like my interest is returning. Maybe I will work on something and even if it's less than what I had in mind with Final Dream Of A Filly.
Transcendence was another rather interesting one to me, although the author has decided to "tone it down a bit" and erased some moments that seemed to much over the top - which I find unfortunate but understandable.
Not All Who Wander Are Lost is yet another big one to me. The author seems to have fallen victim to writer's block and has never finished it up, sadly...
The End of Ponies... simply was too long for me to endure reading it. I read maybe the first third of it before I gave up on reading it - this being another unfinished story because the author said he is "not done with it" but he has not worked on it for over 3 years now - and does not respond to status questions... Unfortunate because this is an enormous heck of a fanfiction to say the least which sucks to see go unfinished like that.
I could probably go and write something about all the other ones I listed but not right now. If someone wants me to I will though.
It seems that I have a preference for stories that deal with death/separation/goodbyes/bittersweetness.
We'll never have too many unicorns.
