Bronydom Fanfic Reviews - The Ground Rules

So I decided to go for it.  From this point forward, as the muse strikes me, I shall post reviews of whatever My Little Pony fanfic has caught my eye at the moment.

This post shall set the ground rules.  Bear in mind that the only rule set in stone is "Rules are subject to change".

General

1. I pick the stories to be reviewed at my own discretion, though I am always open to suggestions. 

2. I don't get paid for these reviews.  Don't rush me.

3. I'll make every attempt to be fair.  Sometimes this is harder than others, as the other rules might make obvious.

4. If at all possible, I'll avoid giving spoilers in my reviews.  This may be revoked if I'm tearing a fic a new one, in which case I will give warning.

5. Generally speaking, I consider numerical ratings to be a bad idea.  Therefore, I will not give stars, points, apples, or any other numerical score to a work.  The text of the review will be its own assessment.

6. I will not delete your comments.  I do, however, reserve the right not to read them.

Fandom

1. I accept the existence of MLP pornography, but I am not a reader of clopfic.  I do not plan to review any.

2. Princess Celestia is one of my favorite characters, so I will probably be harsh on stories that portray her in a negative light.

3. I do not support or protest any ship.

Stories I Will Not Review

- Fallout Equestria and spinoffs: I've never played Fallout 3.  Until recently, I hadn't played the original Fallout.  Between that and the sheer size of this fandom canon, I have no reference point whatsoever.  I cannot give this series a fair review.

- Cupcakes: If you have heard of this story, you already have an opinion on it, and so anything I write will be superfluous.  There is nothing I can say that can influence what anyone thinks of this story.  I may review some of its fan-written sequels, but I doubt it.

- Past Sins: It would take a considerable, considerable amount of bribery to get me to read this story, let alone review it.
