Fan Fiction Review #016: Whip and Wing

Gratuitous action and violence? In Media Res plot? Sounds like Daring Do to me! Unfortunately for you, you must first get past the pit full of spikes, the the hanging alligators, and the page break before you may retrieve the review!

The Medallion of Light and the Medallion of Shadow are some of the most powerful yet obscure artifacts of antiquity. Created by a now-vanished cult of assassins, the two devices together give their bearer the incredible power to walk the worlds with but a single step. 

Nefarious forces are closing in on both artifacts, and very little stands in their way. Heinrich Himmler's agents covet the medallions for the greater glory of the Third Reich. Ahuizotl's simply want their master to get what's coming to him: the world, and everything in it. 

With the fate of all good people and ponies in doubt, one thing's for certain: saving two worlds would be one hell of an adventure. And if adventure has a name, it must be Daring Do… or is that Indiana Jones? 

Will our heroes win the day? Find out in... Daring Do and the Medallion of Shadow! Or, Indiana Jones and the Medallion of Light!

Time for the break!... Or was that the floor cracking?

Fan Fiction Review #014: Strange Bedfellows

Hey there, kids! Tweak back once more to review some fan fiction fer ya! This is my first assigned review here at FOB Equestria. Wow, I'm being assigned to read pony fiction. My life is officially awesome.

AUTHOR:  Fernin

Princess Celestia gave very clear instructions to Twilight and her friends before sending them through the Interface to the temporary embassy on Earth: without the unanimous support of all six mares, any and all negotiations with the humans of the Confederate Gulf States will come to a screeching halt. 

Both sides have much to gain from a cordial relationship and, after a week of feverish talks, the Confederacy has brought around five of the six Equestrian ambassadors...  But there is one hold-out: Applejack.  How can the CGS' diplomatic team get Applejack to sign off on the deal? 

That's a tricky question, but by no means the hardest... The hardest is being asked by Texas Guard Corporal Robert E. L. Cargyle: why the heck do his bosses think that he is the one for the job?! 

One thing's for sure... Politics definitely makes for some strange bedfellows.

Does this story meet the standard? Find out after the jump!

At FOB Equestria, we support User Generated Content. Which is stuff that we have no say over, but we think that some things are best NOT kept to themselves in our forum. Thus, any cool user generated content we come across will probably get posted under the USG series. This section of USG is the "Egghead Corner" sponsoring specific works of literature (poems, stories, ect) that our users have submitted to us, or that we found in the dark depths of the forum.

Up first is Fernin's interesting poem on Best Pony...

"Being the night security guard for Ponyville General Hospital is a boring and thankless job-- especially for Vigilance, who has his heart set on becoming a member of the Equestrian Royal Guard.  Unfortunately both his current job and his future career are now in jeopardy thanks in part to a ridiculous incident in which Rainbow Dash broke in at night to steal a book, of all things.  A book!  

Now to save his job a reluctant Vigilance is saddled (pun unintended) with a new and frustrating duty: assisting in the treatment of his least favorite patient, an unidentified mare who thinks she's a dog.

Can Vigilance swallow his pride for long enough to get "Screw Loose" the exercise therapy she needs, or will her canine antics drive him barking mad?"

Walkies

For future reference, I'll only do a review once a story is completed. In other words, if you submit incomplete stories, you won't see a review until it's finished. But for now, I present to you Walkies!
