    Pokémon Groundhog Dave [Morphic spin-off timeloop whump AU]
    Threadmarks: Part II

    [Will save review responses for later, but thank you! ❤️] Part II “Hey, Jean. Is Mia there? I need to talk to her. It’s really important.” Jean seemed taken aback. She was probably expecting him to ask where they were, what they were doing. No point in any of that. “Um, okay. Hang on.”...

    Pokémon For This to Finally End [Kieran battle theme lyrics]

    All right, I spent an inadvisable amount of time yesterday digging way too far into the musical structure of these themes and what you did with them, so I guess I really will review you for never reviewed before week, despite the sense of irony there. I think you did a lovely job in these of...

    The Festival of Masks

    Poliwag's attack was... well, it was a little underwhelming, after all the anxiety over jumping into the fray. She'd imagined the attacks she'd seen on TV, a huge jet of water blasting Fezandipiti away. But it didn't blast him anywhere. Instead, it brought him bearing down on them, the huge...

    The Festival of Masks

    Jean fiddled with her mane for another anxious moment but then swallowed, nodding. Everyone was fighting, doing their best. Surely she could too? And she'd be really, really careful. Stay back. She straightened her back, trying to smile at Poliwag. "Okay, use... use Water Gun!"

    Blitz 2023: Self-Promo and Review Exchange Thread

    All right, going to bring my self-promo from last year here with the new addition! In general, I appreciate all feedback, but specific preferences per-story are noted below. I'm generally especially interested in thoughts on the characters in a story, whether their actions feel like they make...

    Pokémon Groundhog Dave [Morphic spin-off timeloop whump AU]
    Threadmarks: Part I

    Welcome to the one-shot three-shot I have been working on since I happened to see someone else writing a fic with this silly pun name while hyperfixating on Groundhog Day the musical in 2017. It's been a long time coming. This story is based on my 2007-2010 Pokémorph fanfic Morphic. More...

    The Festival of Masks

    Jean stared anxiously towards where the battle was going on. So others were fighting... and they seemed okay? Was it okay? "I'm... I want to help, but I can't fight," she said, ears flattening. "I don't have any Pokémon. And I'm supposed to breathe fire but... it just hurts." She shook her...

    The Festival of Masks

    Jean looked between Kieran and the ogre, ears flattening, a growing knot in her stomach. What was she supposed to do? It was smarter to just go with the ogre, wasn't it? But then... what if something happened to Kieran and his Pokémon? "I'm sorry," she said, giving the ogre an anxious glance...

    The Festival of Masks

    Jean grinned at Kieran's inspiring speech, pumping a fist along with his Pokémon, but the ogre's reaction (was it really the ogre?) was weird and had her hesitating, lowering her hand. They didn't want to fight...? She glanced unsurely back at Kieran. "Maybe we should go. My... my dad says...

    The Festival of Masks

    "Oh! Is it yours? I found it at the festival." Jean extended her hand to give the crystal to them. "We're... We're trying to find the ogre. We want to help them." What exactly did they want to do to help them? Jean wasn't quite sure. Kieran had just said they should find them, and she'd followed...

    The Festival of Masks

    Jean smiled at Poliwag, giving him a little pat as they walked along. The grass thickened quickly, becoming harder to walk in, and she fought to keep up. It was exciting, though. They didn't go out of the city all that much; some of the others' parents had invited her along on trips a few times...

    The Festival of Masks

    Jean hesitated, but... But the crystal said to keep going. Probably it'd be okay? She waved unsurely at the Poliwag. "O-okay," she whispered back. She did feel better if they'd go around. Maybe they could just be really careful and sneaky. Maybe... She had to be brave. She couldn't leave him...

    The Festival of Masks

    Jean ran after him, startled, a little anxious as she followed him up the path. Was he really strong enough, when they were up against the Loyal Three? You couldn't just go rushing in against someone much more powerful than you... There were figures up ahead. Ogerpon...? But before she could...

    Review Blitz 2023 Kick-Off Thread

    I'd be willing to offer art prizes similar to previous years! Some samples of Blitz prizes I did last year (oop I did not mean for these to embed but they just did automatically when I put in the links): View...

    The Festival of Masks

    "Oh!" The young man who'd just joined them was claiming Fezandipiti sent him... but also that he'd asked them to help, when he hadn't. So he had to be trying to help them get past the guard, right...? Maybe he wasn't even sent by Fezandipiti? "Okay! Thank you!" She grinned under her mask...

    The Festival of Masks

    Jean looked past the actor, ears perking hopefully. "What kind of situation?" Maybe something exciting was happening. A mysterious crystal guiding the way was just like something that'd happen in a story where it'd lead them right to the ogre, or to someone in danger that they were meant to...

    The Festival of Masks

    Jean watched wide-eyed as the old man got up on stage, confirming what the boy had said - the ogre really was the good guy! But instead of being happy, the boy was angry. The man was his grandpa? Jean had never met her own grandparents, and her dad very rarely talked about them, but at least in...

    The Festival of Masks

    Jean gave the boy a quick, apologetic glance before she stepped aside to snatch up the crystal. It sparkled in the lights of the festival. Ooh! It was beautiful! She turned it over in her hand as she quickly returned to the boy's side, snapping a quick photo of it as well. "Do you think someone...

    The Festival of Masks

    Jean looked unsurely around in the commotion. "Wait!" she called after the boy as he went running off, but he was gone before she knew, disappeared into the chaotic crowd. Unsurely, she looked up at the stage. So the Loyal Three were real? She'd thought it was a legend, but legends were just...

    The Festival of Masks

    Jean perked up. Oh! A twist! The misunderstood loner, hated and despised wrongly, framed for a crime they didn't commit! Or maybe they did it, but they were just defending themselves, or they did it by accident and feel really bad about it, but everyone acts like they're the bad guy. Because of...
