    Pokémon Postcards

    What do you get when you cross an attempt to get up early with only half an energy drink? You get me right now, that's what. This got bumped by another review and looks to be just the kind of low key thing I need to ready today. So let's read. And to mix things up, I'm going to go in your...

    Pokémon Nori Carino: Training a Demon [COMPLETE!]

    Oh hey, hi! Thanks for the review! As is made explicit later, Nori doesn't know what he wants to do with his life, only that it's meaningful and not menial. As only made explicit in other fics though: he thinks journeys are a waste of time, because you're not going to win at the end, so it's...

    Pokémon To The Letter [Oneshot]

    Unown before the sequel! Or something like that. Worldbuilding prompts are fun writes, but how about reads? Let's see what you got here. - Is it really that big of an accomplishment to teach yourself the Unown alphabet? I mean, I was teaching myself math way above my grade level when I was 5...

    Pokémon Too Damn Early

    Okay, so first of all? I have to complain! This fic claims there to be sleeplessness at 3am. However, it is very clearly written as 3:30 in the morning right there in the first line! And even reiterated again in another line, time somehow not passing! That is clearly worth a warning! On the...

    Pokémon Rocket

    Had this one recommended to me. I definitely don't mind silly little fics with a goofy tone like this, so let's give it a go. First three parts of this. The prologue starts off parodying the intros of Pokemon games. Get some worldbuilding straight off the back: Oak being a former champion and...

    Pokémon Perigee [Oneshot]

    Stuff is in the oven, let's read some more quick fluff. Mystery dungeon, huh? I don't normally read these, but actually talking about the mystery dungeons themselves is a good start for me. I like the neat little body language detail of moving fingers like using Metronome. Some writers I find...

    Pokémon The Road to Cinnabar [Oneshot]

    Okay, let's take a look at this. Here, we are introduced to Alex: a guy who clearly doesn't take after the canon name puns before they started doing whatever in regards to his type specialty, and who also doesn't have access to some of the many Water types who are also Ground type in order to...

    Pokémon [M] The Fire In Her Heart

    Okay, let me kick off actually trying to participate in one of these Blitzes for once with the latest triumphant return to the Storm Islands! This I wasn't expecting to see here, but I generally enjoyed your work from the past. Here's to hoping this is the one for you! Right away in the first...

    Blitz 2024: Self-Promo and Review Exchange Thread

    Sure. Drop a review on me and I'll try to return the favor, even if you're not what I usually read! Nori Carino: Training a Demon The first story in my metaseries, although you don't have to read it first. Nori Carino is a 12-year-old boy living with his mom in the Veilstone City trailer park...

    Pokémon Nori Carino: Abyssal Despair (COMPLETE!)
    Threadmarks: Chapter 31: Boiling Point

    There was no sense in hesitating. Nori left the school five minutes later, then he skated straight to the Kannagi Shrine. He knew that he was taking something of a risk by coming here despite what Mr. Kannagi had decreed. There was a chance this would backfire horribly and make things even...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 30: Flush Answers

    ===== ###### ===== After classes ended on Thursday, Nori went to the front of the school. It was where he could usually find Yumi waiting for her ride home. Sure enough, his friend was standing around. She was staring off into the distance with her hands folded. He hustled over as quickly as he...

    Review Blitz Prep ver.2024

    Maybe I should try this year, even if I hate the idea of a massive reading rush. Would be an excuse to read/catch up monochrome swans and the desert more, but not sure what else. I could use recommendations. No PMD.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 29: Sealed Fates

    Pachi was running at Nori’s side as he skateboarded to school. The Pokemon Rehabilitator wasn’t sure what to do after the disaster yesterday. He had told Qwilfish what was going to happen, he had apologized profusely to her, but she barely reacted to any of what he had to say. That didn’t feel...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 28: Beneath Surface

    Prema dragged herself along the trail behind the Kannagi Shrine. The heir to the shrine supposed it really was her spot in a manner of speaking. No one except herself made use of it. She often came by to clear her mind while getting some fresh air and quiet. The dilemma before her had been...

    Ah, feeding time. It is always an occasion to look forward to. My favorite is, of course, plants for their taste and the nutrition. But there is something about meat that I love. I wonder what the souls of these animals and Pokemon think of humanity mashing their bodies into fine material...

    Gotta Spook 'Em All! (Spooky Drabble Prompt List)

    Sure. Just watch out for anything you'd expect to see in a place like this. Blood, horror, grimness, and all that. [/spoiler]
