COMMENCE RANT!

Hooooooo... I'll be honest, I avoided this fic like the plague when I first heard about it. From the concept alone, it seemed like the kind of thing that would devolve straight into clop territory. But a friend of mine convinced me to read it, saying it was really good (but then, he also enjoyed Cupcakes and Cheerilee's Garden, so my taste in friends is another issue altogether), and I buckled. I honest-to-Celestia dreaded reading what I expected to be narcissistic clop. But after I got through the first chapter, I found myself wanting to read another...and another...and another...

...Before I realized it, it was 5 in the morning.

I did not hate this fic NEARLY as much as I thought I would. Rather, I ended up loving it. And while I rolled my eyes a little at Rarity/Elusive and tilted my head at the Dash/Blitz thing coming kinda out of nowhere, I really enjoyed the Fluttershy/Butterscotch and Pinkie/Berry moments, and Applejack's side-plot with Applebuck was d'awww-worthy (and I even got a chuckle out of Celestia/Solaris). If you'll excuse me, I now have a letter to write about friendship....or maybe I'll just go get a Budweiser.

RANT COMPLETE!
