I didn't really have a sense of direction or writing goals for 2021, but this year I think there are definitely some things I'd like to try to do! - Use regular sprints to make good progress on my fic. I had a decent groove down of doing a half hour sprint most nights, which was really helpful...

zion OT fic?! This one slipped under my radar when you first posted it, but I was excited to find it when I was going through W3-eligible fics. Very convenient that it ended up being a Roulette pick! I am really looking forward to this. The framing of this story as one being told from some...

Ahaha, that author's note at the end. It do be that sort of chapter, don't it? I think this chapter provides a nice amount of progression after the first one; here we see Ariana becoming cemented as their father's favorite and how Gemma has latched onto pokémon training as her hope for leaving...

We love to see MR. HISSER given pride of place, right where he belongs! idk if spoilers, so I'm going to be referring to Gemma as the narration does throughout my comments. I think giving this story a little more room to breathe is a good idea, and I look forward to seeing what you do with the...

Welcome to the forums! The news out of the anime has honestly been really inspiring recently--definitely a lot of opportunity for fic. I'm glad you're feeling excited about Pokémon again, and the stories you have in the works sound like a lot of fun. Look forward to reading them when you decide...

All right, Week 2 of Blitz has officially come to a close! Wonderful job, everybody--the reviews were flying thick and fast all this week, and I hope everyone got to check out a one-shot or two that they'd been meaning to read. In Week 3, the theme is hidden gems--you get a bonus for reviewing...

I definitely didn't get to read nearly as many one-shots as I wanted to this week. -_-; On the plus side, that means I can shout them all out without it getting ridiculous! "Curse" is a classic tragedy with a side of existential horror. A classic case of people making a series of...

I certainly remember this story, but I don't believe I've reviewed it before! It's a fun one--feels like a very Dragonfree one-shot to me. There's horror here, but I'm really more about the tragedy in this one, and I think it's well done! The two things that really make this fic for me are the...

Loved this one. It works really well both as a character study and for chewing on some fun ("fun"?) pokémon worldbuilding. The question of how we even recognize intelligence is obviously one of real-world concern as well as fictional, and one that humans have traditionally been bad at, so it's...

Happy birthday! Hope you have an awesome one.

This is a wonderfully creepy little fic. The double-crosser double-crossed. The emotional progression was very well done here, I thought, from panic through fearful hope through the final revelation and acceptance. And the emotional progression is really what the story is about, so I think it...

Happy late birthday, Ambyssin! I will make every attempt to show up here more than once per year, but for now this is what I've got--the next six chapters of Path of Valor (through 15). This is a nice section of the fic, and one that feels like it's really moving the plot into a new phase. We...

Eyyy, this is really cute. Kidd looks a lot happier here, heh.

Hey, Jeff! Glad I have some more spooky Sinnoh shenanigans to read about this year. You've obviously made some pretty big changes since the last version of the fic, and I think they work well! The most obvious change is showing off much more of the "trainer journey" aspect of the story here in...

Fantastic! Thanks a lot, Adam. I think we should be good for prizes now, so I think I'll close this thread for this year.

Content Warnings: None Summary: Finals are hard enough when you aren't waking in the middle of the night, thinking about aliens. Six more days until the end of the semester--Kalea doesn't know if she's going to make it. Author's Notes: This one-shot was written as a Blitz prize for kintsugi. The...

These are super cool! I love the details of how the characters handle their pokéballs in particular... I haven't encountered a character who paints their pokéballs to distinguish them before, but it makes a lot of sense! (And would be a fun project.) Thanks for sharing!

Happy new year! Here's to a wonderful 2023 for everyone. I didn't really have any resolutions for last year and wasn't sure how to approach things, but there's definitely a few I have for this year... guess I'll elaborate either in this thread when it changes to "resolutions," or in a new...
