    Pokémon Fledglings

    Hi! Here to review the Auld Lang Syne chapter for catnip, and also Blitz but editing this after the fact, this took me a bit longer than I had anticipated. More broad thoughts are in the line-by-line section but a brief overview of my thoughts: - The plot of this was somewhat endearing; I had...

    Pokémon White Swan, Black Swan

    Heya! Here for Blitz; reviewing the prologue and chapters seven + eight. (My intent is to get this finished before Blitz is over; I had planned to do nine as well, but it turns out I was rustier at writing reviews than first thought and ended up spending entirely too long getting this done. I'll...

    Pokémon Will I Follow?

    Thank you all for the comments; they were very insightful! I'll try to implement some appropriate line-by-line changes based on the feedback whenever I am able, which'll hopefully be before the end of the week. As for chapter two: I can't say when that'll be at this point, but hopefully...

    0. I’ve seen it all I’ve seen it all; every so often some poor soul will tell you they know everything there is to know like they’ve scouted out every angle and consulted every source and unearthed every secret in all the world but I believe I speak with authority when I say that I have seen...

    Pokémon Hey, Space Cadet! (discontinued and old version -- see start of thread)

    About to start redrafting and revising these six chapters, which gives me a handy excuse to finally reply to the feedback y'all have given. Before I do that, some little author's notes on my progress and my intent for future chapters/revisions: It looks like I'm going to end up condensing the...

    Pokémon Different Eyes

    Hello! I'm here to tell you how much I enjoyed chapters four and five of this one, which I had wanted to get read later in Blitz and then sadly became busy -- but, happily, I still get to talk about them anyway. They're really good! I appreciate the balance you strike here: we're still in the...

    Pokémon Wandersword (redux)

    Heya! Saw you had a new chapter out, and what better time to leave thoughts on it than while Blitz is ongoing. Congrats on the update! Most of my thoughts about what I thought really worked here are expressed under the cut, but just in general, this is a great elaboration on both the dynamic...

    Pokémon Delivery Deferred

    I'd been meaning to get to this in an earlier week of Blitz, but what the heck, it still counts for this one's bonus. And I'm very happy I got round to it, because as has been commented on by everyone else, it's a delightful little read. You do a good job of evoking the sort of world this one...

    Review Blitz III: General Chat & Hype Thread

    Among other things, college has gotten in the way of my ability to get basically any reviewing done for the last two weeks, though I do want to get to 65 points total by the end of the event and plan to get back on the horse before the timer runs out. Absolutely delightful to see everyone light...

    Review Blitz III: General Chat & Hype Thread

    Did not get much reading done this week, but my rec is Butterfree! I thought this was an excellent story about growing up, accepting and trying to mend the mistakes of the past, fixing wrongs made with old friends, and ultimately working towards a healthier relationship with people you...

    Pokémon 26 years

    Hello! Here for Catnip, but also, I'd heard enough about the premise that I'm glad I was able to check it out at some point. Reporting back from the end of chapter four. You know that I am, of course, a sucker for disorienting and deeply abnormal things happening to poor, unwitting protagonists...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Path of Valor

    Heyo! Here for Catnip; going over the prologue and the first two chapters. As far as story openings go, I liked this a lot, and didn't really think I had any trouble following what was going on. In the prologue, three legendary birds have to guard the Needle as per the assignment of Queen Isola...

    Pokémon Hey, Space Cadet! (discontinued and old version -- see start of thread)

    Ah geez, Blitz has really left me spoiled, hasn't it? :V Here are some review responses. Just in general: there are changes suggested by some of you that I still want to implement that aren't addressed here, but I have noted them and will be sure to put them in when I eventually revise these...
