    2. People are just stalking the site whenever the hour turns eh?

      I'm a bit surprised I've never though about Spike's connections before. It seems like a rather interesting topic, I think I'm actually gonna give this story a shot.

    7. Great characterization. Provides a vignette into the life of an under-appreciated assistant. Have my stars!

    8. That was nice, a really good story about Spike is hard to find, but this was very well done.

    10. Well, this was pleasantly surprising! I typically don't like Spike, but this actually gave me more respect for him. I could definitely see this as being canon, and all of the characterization was well done. Bravo!

    13. This was a nice little story.

      I find the idea of Spike always working behind the scenes, driving the events we see with the ponies, to be quite brilliant, and quite plausible.

    15. absolutely loved the characterizations in this story. Spike behaving way over his age? hilarious! Even Octavia and Hoity Toity were pretty unique.

    16. I just read both stories, and thought they were great. The way you fill in background with the first story is clever, and there's a lot of good humor in the second. Both are short and light, and I found them perfect for an idle morning read.
