    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Mercenaries of Dawn

    This is a review for the Goddess of Silverware no wait... for Review Blitz 2024! Was looking for an excuse to catch up a bit more to this.

    Pokémon Eternal Gold (PMDgypt Bingo Prompts)

    Ooooh boy IT IS TIME. I was actually expecting to get a chance to review some fiction by you. So, I kept an eye on bingo entries! (mood tbh) Anyway, let's get into this "PMDgypt" thing, or, how I like to call it, Mystery Dungeon Like An Egyptian. Hey, don't you think I did not catch the...

    Gotta Write ‘Em All! A Written Role Call

    Oooooh man! This sounds interesting but it's gonna take a while to cough up some coding skills and get a good metric on what mons are SEEN or CAUGHT from either my local writing docs or the (semi)official listing, because I have to account also for which mons are named / relevant in published...

    Blitz 2024: Self-Promo and Review Exchange Thread

    Venia's little shop of fiction variety. It's not often that I write fiction, but when I do, it tends to show up in TR sooner or later. So, if you would like to read something that's based on the PMD games, in particular Explorers or Gates, then why not take a look around: Beyond Today...

    Pokémon Owed Return [Poké-Centric] [OS]

    Hello dear readers. Last year I published this thingy for a contest, which was the first story built under the banner of what came to be the Worlds of Nrafhal. However, as things went on, somehow I didn't crosspost it to THIS one community - which is weird, because it was here where I dedicated...

    Naming Pokémon and Uniqueness

    There are only two hard problems in fiction: getting exposure feedback naming things (characters, places) writers having no sense of math Negrek has the gist of it in pretty much the opening of the second para, I feel. And that points to a thing that also relates to the thread title that I...

    Thanks for the interest. I'm probs going to post one more post on the details of the Shackle in particular, but it's probably not going to be until #5 - Culture when it becomes more directly relevant. Oooooor I can find an excuse to write one more "free slot" post later during some downtime...
