    Blitz 2025: Hype and Rec Thread

    Weekly fic red 3: Storms' Wake An incredibly short but sweet, atmospheric and descriptive story of watching the embodiment of a force of nature do their work. There's no dialogue, but the narration and prose does the work of getting familiar with, and even relating to, an interaction and the...

    Pokémon Storms' Wake (one-shot)

    Small correction on the way "the circle" is described, but I think for a circle to be truly helpful to the forest, the wind has to NOT blow away the ash yes? That's where a lot of the necessary nutrients for regrowth is going. Anyway, hi! reading this for oneshots week, and I liked this one a...

    Pokémon Find Your Way [oneshot]

    This was a really cute read, and I liked the little twist at the very end on who we were over the shoulder of. Steven Stone wandering around in search of rocks and finding a quiet place among some friendly Pokemon... A stroke of luck, but he seemed to do well enough to avoid being looked after...

    Blitz 2025: Hype and Rec Thread

    Weekly Fic Rec Week 2 My chosen catchup longfic this week is for Salvage by the admin of this very forum, since I promised to eventually catch up I was meaning to get back to it this blitz. In any case, if you're someone who enjoys carefully constructed prose, while still having a more gritty...

    Pokémon Salvage

    Hello Negrek. Today, my goal is to read a ton of Salvage for this blitz! I'm usually good about blitzing through swaths and giving some commentary broadly, but I tried to read a bunch first, and then in the final days give more specific thoughts per chapter, and then an overall at the end. Hope...

    Blitz 2025: Hype and Rec Thread

    Weekly fic rec: Flames & Roses by @Arbee This one is definitely on the grittier side of things, with Pokemon easily getting injured with some very graphic injuries, and also succumbing to them even within the first few chapters. However, the writing is very descriptive, especially in the...

    Pokémon The Vaporeon Cycle: Frost Spirals

    Hey there Val! I'm here to review up to the interlude after looking through the chapter lengths. These tiny chapters will make it quite easy to review on a per chapter basis, so that's what I'm gonna go for here. They're also really dense with stuff happening thanks to the hybrid script format...

    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Hands of Creation

    I REFUSE to fall behind on review replies again, so I'll be replying to these straightaway so I don't let them pile up. Hopefully. I like to think that I'm having every character's behavior be measured and relatable in some way, so that when the MC is slighted, it makes perfect sense and...

    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Hands of Creation

    Hey Wind! Glad to see a catchup for the blitz year! Always a pleasure to have a returning reader despite how long the whole story is. Don't be afraid to prioritize reading and just casually enjoying and giving a review on overall stuff later, whatever suits your fancy, but this has been nice...

    Pokémon Pokémon: Flames & Roses

    Welcome to TR, and here's some reviews for everything you've written so far. Onto the prologue... Starting right in the action! Very nice, and I liked a lot of the language going on. Some of the idioms and similes were a little awkward, though. One odd example that stood out to me as awkward...

    Blitz 2025: Self-Promo and Review Exchange Thread

    And as for me... with it reaching its completion, I'd like to promote my finished longfic: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Hands of Creation Hands of Creation, or HoC, is my first longfic, very recently completed. I'm quite proud of it! And I hope that now that it's finished, others will be able to...

    Blitz 2025: Hype and Rec Thread

    I'm gonna give a special promotion for Path of Valor by @Ambyssin this Blitz. It's near the final arcs now, and will likely be finished by the time next Blitz rolls around! Not only that, but it will likely be Amby's last foray into the longfic scene as life propels him into the depths of med...

    Threadmarks: Epilogue

    Epilogue Beyond It was another beautiful spring afternoon. The last of the rain clung to blades of grass, which shimmered under the bright sun. A Charizard with a rainbow flame talked seemingly to nobody as he tended to rows upon rows of berry trees. “I see,” whispered an invisible presence...

    Finale ~ Part 5 – Countless “Okay, you two. I think we’ve had enough tears.” “But… you’re the one crying.” “Yeah, well… I know how you feel, too. But, please… reach out to the Worldcore.” “Huh? What for?” “I’m going to seal your memories of this conversation. Just for a little while.”...
