    [SIGNUPS OPEN] Odile's 7 Deadly Scumtells Anniversary Mafia

    Name: Gabriel Edwards Personality: A nerdy introvert used to being stared at. He sees the world with a wary cynicism, but loves fiction and games and the company of good friends. He has a fair amount of bottled-up wrath going on that's most liable to burst out when he's fed his Slugma-like skin...

    Sixth Anniversary Fic Readings

    I would enjoy participating but almost certainly won't make the Sunday reading and likely couldn't until next Sunday; not sure if it'd be feasible to accommodate that, though, which is fine!

    Funny things you've looked up for writing purposes

    I once looked up stuff on the effects of strangulation and got a bunch of domestic violence resources, which was a depressing dose of reality for my Pokémon fanfic research. I have also looked up ventilation systems, the experience of death from blood loss, and most recently laws around...

    Sixth Anniversary Drabble Bingo

    All right, let's try a bingo card on the theme of hurt and comfort - which is to say, each prompt can suggest one or the other or both! I would probably be filling these with something related to my fics, so feel free to relate the prompts directly to a specific character or thing (if you have...

    Pokémon Will Somebody Stop These Kids?

    A good start, for me, lover of characters who are Fine Also an excellent introduction. Glorious. This is such a great opening; already with your first scene you've got a character established with a great sense of color being put into a Situation. Excellent. I am hooked. These are such kids...

    Pokemon Memories

    One of my fondest memories is the glitched Jolteon that I had on Yellow. Ever since he was an Eevee, his status screen was weird: every time I viewed this particular Pokémon's stats, the screen would initially go blank, and then if I pressed A again, it would appear as normal but with the OT...

    Why does nobody review fics anymore?

    Honestly it sounds pretty unlikely that the anti-woke crowd would go after a random person writing Pokémon fanfic. Most of them are after attention and engagement; going after popular media gets them clicks and views and comments. If they wanted to go after 'woke' Pokémon fanfic, there are...

    Pokémon Nothing Fickle About Loyalty

    EV training! He's thinking of Yanma/Yanmega, I imagine. :copyka2: Awww, of course Kieran used to look up to Drayton. Makes it all the more heartbreaking how things wind up. I have some bad news for you about what evolving is going to look like, Loyalty :copyka2: Better and better at shutting...

    Pokémon The Legendarian Chronicles

    Chapter 47 This is so delightfully understated. His own house, or else one that was pretty important to him. T r a u m a I didn't quite remember how this played out. The bit about his memories being locked, and having this gaping hole in his heart, is particularly interesting - I think...

    Pokémon The Legendarian Chronicles

    Chapter 46 Enjoyed this paragraph - think it did a nice job of conveying the weight of everything that's been happening. Enjoy this moment - Ajia and Mew being alike in this, Jade picking up on it and reflecting on her relationship with Lugia. Love Starr. Love her sort of fantasizing about...

    Pokémon The Legendarian Chronicles

    Chapter 45 Love Stalker just going "I need his strength!" like that's all the counterargument needed. Almost reminiscent of TQftL Taylorlogic - if he needs a thing, then that's sufficient reason for him to take it, and he just sees no cause to justify it in any other way than that. A nice...

    Blitz 2024: Hype and Rec Thread

    Posting a Weekly Fic Rec for @elyvorg's Nothing Fickle About Loyalty. When she mentioned she was planning to write a fic about Kieran's Hydrapple, I figured it would be a fun exploration of Kieran's arc from the point of view of one of his Pokémon - but once I actually got to read the first...

    Pokémon The Legendarian Chronicles

    Chapter 44 That moment when Rayquaza is completely out of the loop. :copyka2: Love Starr's protectiveness while also knowing Jade has to do this. They're so good. Mark standing up to Chaletwo energy :quag: Love this moment - Lugia being actually afraid, Jade sensing that vulnerability for...
