    Pokémon Wandersword (redux)

    Fuck, is that ever an opening for a chapter. Delightfully bloody and perfectly poignant. Ferry seems to be a “brutal brawler” and I’m so down for it. I really like what you’re doing with Prim/Ferry. Their characters gel really well and you’ve done a great job using Ferry’s aura sense to...

    Pokémon Wandersword (redux)

    I’m here as part of our exchange! I’ll give you praise and crit where it’s due! On to your review! You set the world really really well with the opening on Ferry in the big city. We get everything we need to know (New trainer/Wandersword [fantastic name btw], medieval world) in just a couple...

    Threadmarks: Death of Innocence: Bones and Ashes

    Death of Innocence Bones and Ashes So the little lord wept. Survival at all costs. Red slipped off his dodrio, his heart sinking as he fell to his knees among the rubble of the western gatehouse. The slums that had pressed up against the walls of the city were simply gone. Only a few...

    The story behind your story's name?

    Journey - it’s a journeyfic lol. Also, it’s a personal journey of discovery. The title is generic AF, but I think it fits too well to change. I originally considered “Death in Duty”, but considered that too edgy. Working title was “Warpath” Salvation - The “Salvation” of humanity is a massive...

    Worldbuilding Fails

    Historically, many many cultures were incredibly racist and downright genocidal at times. It’s not you sounding like a fascist, it’s human history reflecting all the nasty, dirty parts of the human psyche (and all the really shitty ways people act). It’s also an interesting point. Yes, it can...

    Pokémon A Pain in the Ash (2022 April Fool's One-Shot)

    Alright! I don’t know who Jung is and I don’t read Ashfics. Lol, that seems like a great start. Aaaaand I’m chuckling right away like a child. The tone of this is pure gold. Ash being quite literally from a cartoon is not what I expected lol. I‘m loving the internal monologue for Jung. I have...

    GUZMANIACS VS FETCHDFANS BATTLE TO THE DEATH

    And my last Fetchd review of the night (Hopefully enough to stave off the nasty Guzma-lovers)! https://forums.thousandroads.net/index.php?threads/in-ghostly-fashion-one-shot.976/post-56056

    Pokémon In Ghostly Fashion [One-Shot]

    This is both incredibly adorable and endlessly relatable. Its also an incredibly simple central concept that you wrote absolutely beautifully. Even though not much happened, every moment of the fic had some moment of tender character or true to life relationship that just felt so real. That...

    Pokémon Three Heads Are Better Than One

    Oh my god I’m in love. This fic is astounding. I think I see why everyone loves well done Pokemon POV stories. A dodrio is such a fantastic choice for this idea because it is three distinct characters. I love that you ran with this idea, as well as making it astoundingly clear that each of them...

    Pokémon Of Nidorino and Gengars

    Oh my goodness. You were not kidding with the “very descriptive“ tags. That is honestly impressive. That prose is possibly some of the most purrrrrrple I’ve ever seen. I get that it’s intentional, but holy hell Is it ever a design choice lol. I get the sense that this may be an April fools fic...

    Pokémon The Objective Truth of the Universe (Legends fic)

    Basically that Volo went off and got himself disappeared into the Distortion world eventually. Which doesn’t contradict your story, but yours had so much more thought and care put into it that it completely blows my ”he Cyrus’d himself“ headcanon out of the water. I did figure that he was a...

    Another review for the Fetchd, time on Niente (which I have no experience with the main story of). Still good though! https://forums.thousandroads.net/index.php?threads/niente-one-shot.1005/post-56043

    Pokémon Niente [one-shot]

    This was a stunning read for someone with utterly no experience with you or your writing. I love the structure. The vignette structure of a story can be difficul, can really hold back emotion. But when it’s done well, it just adds to the story. I love the opening, harkening back to ancient...
