I liked <i>bits</i> of this one a great deal. Maybe I'm easily pleased, but I can live with things like clichéd Lyra in a story like this if she's not portrayed truly horribly. And yes, I was greatly entertained by some of it.<br /><br />On the down site, I found the thing terribly sprawling (and that's not including the extras) and in enough need of proofreading that it really did get distracting. Also, American football references are a surefire way to turn me off.Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-50128681465856715482016-08-10T15:28:01.495-05:002016-08-10T15:28:01.495-05:00Yeah, I think most nerd musicians nowadays just go...Yeah, I think most nerd musicians nowadays just go by that term - "Nerd/Geek Musician" (like Jonathan Coulton or the Doubleclicks or Paul & Storm or Hank Green), or by fandom-specific terms like "Wrock" (Wizard Rock - Harry Potter) or just "Brony Musician" in this fandom.Sandtalonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-36027377267506910842016-08-10T00:38:42.875-05:002016-08-10T00:38:42.875-05:00Pretty sure the abacus thing was considered old ba...Pretty sure the abacus thing was considered old back then<br /><br />I was actually just telling my brother about filk and how the term seems to have fallen out of use (I only know of it because of Lee Gold).

Even back when I was writing bad HiE myself, that title still set off warning bells for me.DannyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273313206696087395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-69779891878798647572016-08-08T13:53:00.997-05:002016-08-08T13:53:00.997-05:00Oh, this is the progenitor of the TD series.

If it's the same one that I think it is, he ends up becoming an alicorn or something jacked up like that, marries a pony, has a pony kid, the whole self-insert shebang. So completely straight played there. <br /><br />It rubs me odd: the title, the "I'm NOT a brony!!" element seems to be there just so that closet fans can justify the wish fulfillment. I mean, more power to them, and I could be wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-6349849865710935582016-08-08T06:48:26.242-05:002016-08-08T06:48:26.242-05:00I, too, always assumed this would be a parody of H...I, too, always assumed this would be a parody of HiEs with a protagonist who, y'know, wants to get the hell out of Equestria because he hates being there. Like the title says. Y'know.<br /><br />But reading this review, I can't help thinking that, if I want that, I should just read a Dan Vs. crossover instead. <.<Present Perfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195959811544391904noreply@blogger.com
