    Favourite book covers

    Me likey. Jumped out to me immediately when browsing. The book itself also has a lot of Innes' pen drawings of around Toronto which is very cool, it's a little artbook as well as a novel. Also shoutout to Shel Silverstein, this one always stuck out to me.

    Pokémon Starlight's 2025 Drabble Bingo

    A little midnight snack for me :] A New Friend I like this one. It's got an arc. and in very few words, too. The formatting of the book passage is a little weird. Part of it is forum issues, I think, but part of it is like... is it a poem? It's described as a book and formatted as a poem so I...

    Pokémon A Father's Regret (Oneshot)

    the L O R E This was a fun, cute read. I have mixed feelings on very humanlike legends sometimes, but I tend to prefer them somewhere on the extreme ends of human or alien and this definitely falls in the former category. I guess I just think it's important to commit strongly to one idea, idk...

    Pokémon The Imitation Game (SV Spoilers)

    Hello blitz buddy :]. Dunno if I've hit you up for reviews before, but here we are in the world of robits. You use european quotation marks, you monster. Chapters 1-3 I'm a big fan of funeral scenes. I love a lot of little details here, and this overall feeling of wrongness that tends to come...

    Blitz 2025: Self-Promo and Review Exchange Thread

    Hello, I'm here now. Main Fics What The Gods Gave Me -- 18 chapters, ~70K words When a common raven gains the form of a god, he seems to be the only one not particularly concerned about that. And he's not the only one the universe has chosen. In their change, they will be forced to find the...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Eighteen: In Dreams

    Chapter Eighteen In Dreams A flat red car rolled up beside Danial, powering through the gravel and coasting to the edge of Undella lookout. Another tourist family, chattering in a foreign language as they stepped out and let the car doors slam behind them. Two parents, a brother, a sister. He...

    Pokémon Pokémon: Restoring Balance

    Curious. Veeery curious. Read the prologue and the first two chapters for this. It reminds me of some more oldschool fanfic I remember from back in the day. Mostly for the poke-POV in the human world thing, which doesn't seem as popular now as it used to be. idk. Prologue If I have one...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    Back yet again, I'm such a hassle. I've read a bit past 19 but this review will be for 17-19. Structural Notes My perception of a lot of the story before this is that it's very stop/start in its structure. Regardless of my complaints on tone or content or execution, the core idea of how this...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    Uh oh I'm back again. I did a little skimming to patch up some old memories but I like to think I have the mind of a fortress so hopefully that shouldn't hinder anything. I read chapters 14-16 for this one. Lizard POV And so we get a generous helping of Dalton lore. I can't tell whether it's...

    Pokémon A Myriad of Mons (Story Prompts)

    Good morrow, I've received your summons for catnip. I'm reviewing Typecast, as requested. Finally, a fic where I can leverage my terrible french and say I understand that reference. I've read some old fables of the loup-garou and they're all very funny because unlike other werewolves, they're...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Seventeen, Part Two: Roll Called

    Chapter Seventeen, Part Two Roll Called “I’d like to talk to you,” King said. Unbelievable. Isaac and King had formed something of a relationship over the shockingly little time they’d known each other but it still wasn’t like the bisharp to ever ask to do anything. And in the middle of the...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Seventeen, Part One: Roll Call

    Chapter Seventeen, Part One Roll Call Hilda hadn’t caught darkrai. That’s all that really mattered. She stood across the desk from Kloe. Kloe, who looked up at her with big, watery, squinting eyes and waited until she asked. “Did you— what? Did you catch it?,” Kloe asked. She looked worse now...

    Threadmarks: Part Two, Chapter Sixteen: Interrogations

    Chapter Sixteen Interrogations Well. Hiudix did not know what to expect from Soleiro’s dungeon joint, but that was certainly something. He looked back. Back to the cave mouth he just exited. A faint sting lingered on his back and he shook his head mournfully for the handful of broken quills he...

    Pokémon Decoherence [One-Shot]

    What if I reviewed something of yours that was old? Haha, unless... Anyway, I did want to review this because it's been particularly relevant for me. I've never been a fan of N but I still like seeing how people tackle him and Hilda's whole deal. Especially when the games keep her mute so every...
