I have GOT to rec @Phoenixsong 's Storms Wake as a peak slice of under <1k one-shot for the weekly Rec 890 words of pure, punchy, evocative prose that focuses on a glimpse of Raikou's role in the world and their situation. Despite this story's short length, it does a great job of telling a...

Ohhh this opening bit of prose is so good. very evocative and sensory, paints a striking picture. his is so CRUNCHY. It really rolls through the tongue in a waythats fun to read. It's almost poetic, without the rhyme aspect. There's a fantastic sense of motion and momentum to the prose, like...

Okay personally, splitting the chapter was great Imo. It made it really nice to read just this one chapter since I had to tend to other stuff. Now I know exactly where to come back to, and its a solid stopping point! Ohohoh this was really fun. Its delightful to see all the little changes...

This made me go check how long I've been writing for and if we count since I started properly posting writing, then I've been at this since.... 2013. Thats not counting that I did write before then, 2013 is simply when I started doing so more prolifically and storing it on my G Drive. I feel...

Heck yeah we love to see this My number one tip is that even on my lowest days, I would aspire to "the stupidest sentence". Basically set out on purpose, intentionally, to write one bad sentence/paragraph etc. If I felt like garbage I'd write: Thats my sentence or my work for the day. I...

Me: Oh look, a nice little oneshot about Rival and Raticate, I'll just read this really quick it'll be fine- Me, 5 min later: 😭 😭 😭 😭 I should expect this by now from you though, after Drowning :P This is a beautiful opening line, I love how it sets this somber tone and this sort of sad...

I cannot BEELIEVVEEE I never reviewed this. Apparently I read it though??? 10/10 peak, no notes Hmmmm I have a strong hunch maybe, just maybe, he is not. I love these descriptions so much. Not only do they paint a picture of the world but also really effectively highlight our boys (I was...

I can't believe I don't think I ever read the Hitmonchan one-shot? This is criminal. I loved it! You have a knack for really communicating a lot in a short time. Its a very simply concept but I think the committment and detail are what elevate it. Physical details like fumbling with the boombox...

These were some really fun chapters. The use of dual POV here pulls massive weight for the story and I love it (ignoring the bit that I guess everyone in this world keeps incredibly detailed diaries/journals?? heh). Seeing first Gentleman trying to enact his plans and his own reactions to it...

Man these were some intense four chapters. I lied I definitely didn't read 37 before so whew... Going back to get Claydol, and then the entire sequence with encountering Matt and Tabitha again, and Tabitha laying the beating on Matt (shoulda killed him smh). I do sort of have a small hangup...

Man these two chapters were such a delight, really building up to the big moment very effectively. Constantly impressed at the way you manage to paint such an interesting and effective picture of the pokemon world for adults, and how pokemon factor into every day life. The way all the charaters...

Oohh Okay. See I couldn't remember how long ago he became champion bc if it was like... 3-4 years ago that would make the kid like 5. So idk what counts as like, legally smart enough to do TCG but I'd be surprised if he were old enough to do it reliably at 5. But it turns out I am terrible at...

I planned to read jsut one chapter but I ended up blowing through three because I got really interested in the situation and the prose read nice and smooth for me. This borrows from some classic PMD tropes, which I love, but again spins on it with some really unusual stuff, starting with putting...

Chapters 1 & 2 Line by line: A good start! I am a sucker for classic elements in stories, especially PMD. I know some people might lament the use of Riolu and amnesia and the 'washed up on the beach' scene. But I love it. Also the circumstances and worldbuilding and setup prove that there's...
