Thanks Chris!

I spent a lot longer on this next part, but I'm pretty certain I just wrapped up Act I of this thing.

Typoes: "punctate"; "So stunned, than she had to sit down" should presumably be "that"; "before slowly put her face into her hands" should be "putting". (And yeah, I realise that typoes will happen when you're having to write at a high pace.)

Yes, this is still good. A lot of good writing, a funny ending, and your avatar is very sympathetic. Rarity's very much in character; never doubt your ability to write her.
Spoiler
And I quite like "it's all in your hooves now, Rarity".

Very sweet.

A heads-up: Graham and I are moving house this weekend, so I can't promise I'll be in this Sunday (I'll try, but I can't promise anything). You folks just keep up the awesome work.

By popular (?) demand, the second instalment of my Futurama fic "Earth Guys Are Sleazy".

First instalment here

Previously on "Earth Guys Are Sleazy": unbeknownst to Leela and Bender, Fry has jumped ship onto planet Frazetta-1, populated by hot monogendered aliens. To the surprise of no-one, he finds that they are all male-looking, and promptly passes out.

No objectionable content. (There's a bit that might seem like a nasty rape reference, but later parts of the story will show that it's not actually what it looks like.)

EDIT: Con-crit welcome if you have any. I feel like this part was slower and less funny than the first, but on the upside I got some worldbuilding in.

Here is the next part of my story! All written in an hour an- no, no I wrote it in a week. I've cheated you. I've cheated you all and you didn't even notice.

Some typoes I caught: "with find the right apples" should be "finding"; "back to ground" needs a "the"; "a momentarily loss".

This is still good. Having a bit from Rarity's perspective is a fun change, and I like how intelligent you've written her. Her plan is clever. Meteorite is cute, and you end in a good place. No problems with this bit.

Thanks Chris!

Here's the next part, where I get to dress up in pretty dresses, and not have confusing fantasies.

A heads-up: Graham and I are going to his family over the Easter weekend, so probably won't be able to attend this Sunday.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do bad things. - Jingo, Terry Pratchett

Shall we pause all the things then for a week? Resume in April?

I'll do my best to make it, but I have no objection to pausing things or them going ahead without me

I'll be busy tomorrow as well, so this pause is very timely.
