All right, with Blitz now over, I'll be going through and fulfilling prizes! Here's a quick reminder of the prize claim timeline: - Now through 23:59:59 PM UTC January 25th: spend your Blitz points on whatever prizes you like! - January 26th: I'll draw names for the winners of our annual...

All right, Review Blitz 2025 is now over, and so are our weekly fic recs! I've added the bonus points for everyone who wrote them and also got them entered into the bonus prize raffle, which will take place in a week. Keep an eye on the prize thread for more updates! I'll also throw out one...

Hey, Fennel! This seems like a really neat idea--I haven't read the source material, but at least so far, these tiny plays are a delight. I don't know if you're British yourself, but a couple of these seem to have that flair to them. In the very first, Yvonne seems like exactly that stereotype...

It's been a while, but it's nice to get caught up with LC once again. Seeing Stracion again was an unexpected, fun turn of events. I'm glad she shows up again, even if we won't be seeing her much or at all past this point; she always had such a big personality that she felt larger than a...

I seem to have been assigned two fics for Catnip where both have "Children" in the title and involve a narrator reflecting on bygone times. Strange coincidence, but I'm not mad about it. I enjoyed revisiting this fic! There's a real Calvin and Hobbes energy to this chapter, where we get to see...

All right, catnip time! I haven't read much of your work outside the PMD sphere, so this is an interesting change of pace. I definitely see parallels with the themes you explore in your other stories, though; this one, too, feels like it could be a family-friendly television show, though leaning...

Hey, Wind! I am of course back to catch up on Places We Call Home. It's too bad I only have four chapters to enjoy this time, but I know you've been having a ton of fun with your Deltarune story, which is awesome. There's a real feeling of dread that hangs over these chapters; you can tell that...

Hey, kyeugh! At this point there isn't too much that you've published that I haven't commented on, but I never finished reviewing tarnishing, so here I am for Chapter 3! It's hard to call this chapter "fun," maybe, since it continues a run of heartbreaking events for Silver. The conversation...

I totally missed that you posted a third chapter! It was fun to see the first mystery dungeon here. One of my favorite aspects of mystery dungeons is how weird they can get, the sorts of fantastical environments that can exist there that don't anywhere else. And Branchy Cage is a lot of fun in...

Hello, what's this? An N and Reshiram/Zekrom story, one of my favorite fanfic subjects? :eyes: There's a lot of fun stuff in here, both with respect to the relationship between N and Reshiram and with respect to the worldbuilding and the situation that they find themselves in. I really enjoyed...

Hello, everyone! Welcome to Week 4 of Blitz. This week's theme is reviewing stories that have been reviewed no more than twice so far this Blitz, which means you get a bonus for reviewing any story on the forums except one of the 34 below: TCG2: Doduo Adventures - Book One: TCG Island...

Hey, Fennel! Glad to see a one-shot from you here. I have to say, I went into this expecting a cute slice-of-life with Erika, only to be surprised and delighted that it's something else entirely! You do a wonderful job of building up the atmosphere here. The usual elements one would expect from...

Hey, Pano, great to see you posting again! I always enjoy your Elite stories, and this one is no exception. Definitely reminded me of white elephant swaps I've experienced myself; I'm the one over there with poor Phoebe trying to figure out which packages are least likely to contain alcohol. As...

Hey, Tetra! Popping back in to check out the couple extra chapters you added just in time for Blitz. I was aware that Drake was on the streets from a young age, but somehow I'd forgotten that his parents literally just left the region without him after he ran away from home??? That's absolutely...

Addressed on Discord, but for the benefit for anyone following the thread: no. If you get a prize you don't want in the raffle, you can give it to someone else if you'd like. If you'd like to buy a prize for someone else, you can do that by donating points to them during the donation period. I...
