    Review Blitz 2021

    I reviewed the prologue and chapter 1 of Do Psychic-Type Pokemon Dream of Electric Sleep? Technically it fulfills the theme of the week, although I don't remember if that only counts once or not. word count: 1257

    Pokémon Do Psychic Cats Dream of Electric Sheep? -- OLD VERSION

    I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed your story before. Hmmst’ve. Let’s fix that. Is the voice talking to Espurr at the beginning Mew? Or maybe the VoL? I’m sure we’ll find out eventually, but that’s curious and curiouser. There’s something almost wistful about the way they speak to her. Since...

    Pokémon Fighting Nature

    I appreciate the double meaning behind the title. Fighting nature as in fighting your own innate tendencies and fighting nature as in literally engaging in honorable combat with the elements. It tickles my punnier sensibilities. Although Fight Club is an obvious point of comparison, I was...

    Pokémon Death Is Lonely

    I’m trying a slightly new style for Catnip. IDK if I’ll stick to it but you get to be my guinea pig. >:] Strong opening line. Good hook. I might’ve swapped out ‘touch’ for ‘brush’ since it’s alliterative with ‘branch’ and starts with a softer consonant than a hard ‘T’; sounds cleaner when...

    Fic-Writing Resources!

    The Writing University Podcast and the Odyssey fantasy/science fiction workshop podcasts are both super useful as well, with interviews from a number of talented writers. The Odyssey Podcast however is fairly short sessions for the most part that they usually cut off around the 15 minute mark...

    Pokémon dream eater

    I totally forgot I wrote this. Welp. Better late than never. Written for the PMD Writers Union May writing prompt. General: Write a story from the perspective of the villain. Specific: The Hero and Partner, or the Team, are forced to camp out when a mission keeps them out later than expected...

    Pokémon A Mew Me: Kuki's Tale [DISCONTINUED]

    Hey, Adam! I'll be reviewing the first chapter for catnip circle. The opening is very cute, and the ending rather foreboding. I already have some idea of what'll happen since I looked over later chapters, but still, I can't believe you'd even think about being so mean to two sweet little...

    Pokémon Dragon's Dance

    I can't remember the last time I read a chapter this close to flawless. The way you set up conflicts, establish character dynamics, introduce exposition, and seamlessly blend these concepts together and build them toward an inevitable conclusion is incredibly satisfying. Lance--Wataru in this...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Path of Valor

    That synopsis is the most anime thing I've read in quite some time. Lmao It’s been a while since I’ve picked up a story basically from the beginning. While I’m aware more chapters have been uploaded to ffnet, I’ll just follow the version updated here. Makes me feel all special and stuff. So...

    Pokémon the envy of eden

    I rate this prologue 0/10 for the pun alone. Or maybe 10/10. I haven’t decided yet. Jokes aside, I’m genuinely excited about this story. I’ve always been a touch reticent when it comes to using pokemon as parallels for real-world events, but real-world events have reached such a point that...

    Book Club?

    I'm late as usual. I have no excuse. Please forgive me. :Wigglytired: "Some Letters for Ove Linström" -loved this one a lot. the way she described her father's addiction and how it ruined his life was on point and gut-wrenching. everything is just dripping with melancholy and regret, and a...

    Favorite Video Games?

    There are a lot of games I love (pokemon being an obvious one), but Celeste probably resonated with me the most in recent years, especially since it's a platformer and I quite enjoy the genre.

    Book Club?

    I haven't had time to do much recently, unfortunately, but I did read "Beatrice". Some thoughts: -Enjoyed the whimsical tone and the sharp contrast it provided with the serious thematic content regarding obsessive love. It read almost like a romantic fairy tale up until the third act. The...

    An extension would be helpful on my end, since we’re asking.

    Book Club?

    I’d probably find bi-weekly easier since I’m pretty busy, but I can always just check in every other week if needed.

    @OldschoolJohto Let me check with my library on my day off (Tuesday) and I’ll get back to you. I don’t have a problem with Jagannath personally, however.

    One-Shot Contest: Myths and Legends

    If the myth is one you made up, does it necessarily have to be about a legendary pokemon?

    Some books I've heard good things about but haven't read myself. The novels aren't super long either, most of them in the 150-300 page range. Radio Silence by Alice Osman. YA contemporary Indelicacy by Amina Cain. Feminist historical fiction (Victorian). Every Heart a Doorway by Sean...
