    Pokémon Once a Thief

    Huzzah! Forward progress that didn't involve getting into a fight. I think this chapter might've had a longer word count than a couple of the previous ones? Or I'm just seeing things. But it felt brisker in spite of that because the team's able to get through multiple set pieces before shambling...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    Oh, hey, look, they ran into the chief and had a big ol' scuffle because of it after all. Though the, uh, misdeeds alluded to in the previous chapter sound more like cases of miscommunication killing judging from what follows. Which is... always something people will have mixed feelings on...

    Chapter 73: The Place Where I Belong Entry 1902 I found an empty planet today. Practically routine for me with all the wandering I've done in my life. And yet something strikes me as off about this place. Sure, it's empty. But as I float around its sky, I can't help but feel like it's not...

    Chapter 72: Matters of the Heart Entry 2508 What is this feeling? Whenever I'm around Chiron it's like my light has weight behind it. Not in a bad way, mind you. But maybe this is what it's like when I hear people talk about beautifly in their stomach? With Chiron, it's like the past doesn't...

    Author's note is at the end. Small warning for mentions of death. XxX You are MC-TF-001. Today is activation day fifty. You sit patiently on a cold, white, steel floor, watching your pack of white coat meatbags— no, humans intently. C://PACK/SHORT_BLACK_FUR praises you for not believing the...

    Can’t say I’m surprised. “Amby didn’t read the assignment.” Oh well. C’est la vie. Congrats and thanks to the judges. Doubt I’m going to be revising because my limited writing attention has to go to my fic, which increasingly looks like it needs to be fully drafted by a certain point or it will...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Dual Wills

    Calling it now: dey gonna escape and be problems in the future. Maybe downgraded from arc villains. Unless there's some bigger force at work that sinks their fangs into them. So, this right here speaks to two problems. The first being that this renders the initial start to the scene as clunky...

    Chapter 70: Tenebrae Undae The collider room was quiet and still. Only the gentle hum of idle machines and the sloshing of water through glass tubes greeted Yuna when she returned. There was no new Sage floating in front of her. Not even any evaporating light particles to suggest a Needle had...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    I want to say the stuff overheard between Rampardos and Archeops is setting up for a future conflict with this High Chief -- a tyrantrum, perhaps? Because of the "short-arms" stuff -- but it's hard for me to tell. To be honest, I was more interested in that part than the ensuing skirmish that...

    Pokémon Tail of Time

    This is technically six parts. But, uh, as promised, I guess... 1 -Hmm. Yeah, got some issues right out of the gate here. You've probably heard it before. First off, I personally find capitalizing pokémon types weird. It's treating them like they're proper nouns when I think it's more accurate...

    Chapter 69: A Nice Dream Entry 2172 Like clockwork, the nightmares are back again. I doubt the years of this planet sync up with Chakran, but it certainly feels like this is around the time where those wretched Overseers abandoned me. Ignored my pleas for help and left this universe to...

    Chapter 68: Meticulously Engineered Why did my spirit powers work? It doesn't make any sense. Overseers are meant to be bound by the rules of the worlds they visit.

    Pokémon Kills-Other-Humans

    Obligatory "this reviewer doesn't condone killing and vigilantism." As I mentioned, this leans into stream of consciousness, hence bullet points. One -Strong "typical day" start here. Could definitely relate to that creative mental block and having it come up when Andre's trying to draw...

    Paradox rolled his eyes. "That's the problem with the god-worshipping types. They will always handicap themselves because they believe their god will step in and save them in a pinch." He shook his head. "But no matter how much will a god has, their domain is and will always be limited." His...

    "Helixians?" It was hard not to disguise the amusement in Paradox's voice. "Your little religion is named after a mathematical shape? How quaint." Each set of his tentacles coiled up around one another. "What's better than a single helix? Two, of course. Because, gods or no gods, that's what...
