Stream followup, we watched
1. Klaus
I watched this last year, and I enjoyed it more this time. First viewing, I was annoyed by a lot of the lead character's early actions and how loud it was a lot of the time, but I was able to appreciate it a lot more. It's an amazingly-animated movie with really strong design work, and it's heartwarming.

Notes in Service of a Love Story

Hmm, this was interesting, but I couldn't help but think that watching this as an actual play would be really strange. I also struggle to understand what the audience added, except perhaps to evoke the feeling of experimental theater where the big resolution to the story happens only after all the audience has left.
Flurries
On Hearth's Warming Eve, Fluttershy has a warm cottage and a friend to keep her company. So why can't she stop staring out the window?

This was a great heartwarming story, covering the "one of Stirling's parents die" premise you've done before, but looking at what follows after. This has great portrayals of both Fluttershy and Big Mac, and the bit of Discord we see.
Tales of the Sapphire Carousel: The Chef's Guardian
A fanfic of the fanfic Crimson Lips. Shimmer Glass learns to trust again when she befriends the bodyguard of the Sapphire Carousel, Rainbow Dash.

I read the previous chapters as docs before, so I skipped ahead to this new one. You did a great job pulling at this one dangling thread in the Crimson Lips story and forming a great and fluffy romance, while staying respectful of the professions involved. I don't usually care for romances involving OCs, but this is a definite exception.
This was a very well-done story, showing how Rarity would methodically work her way through this problem, and also what would finally push her over the edge and damn some other pony. You did a great job demonstrating the strange horror of the situation, and I applaud you not bringing in a monster or something. However, I do think the curse as depicted doesn't make much sense; it's only a threat because Rarity let it go on as long as she did, assuming everyone has that letter at the entrance.
