    Pokémon A Confession

    Hey! I skimmed part of this a while back when you posted it and then saw it back on the first page and figured why not properly check it out and drop a review. I think you do a nice job with the monologue implying what's going on in the opening. We get a sense of Nida feeling weak, wanting this...

    Pokémon Delivery Deferred

    Already betaed this, so this'll be a more compact review with more overall thoughts rather than line-by-lines, apart from: Got some extra line breaks in there for whatever reason. I think this story does a nice job with understated worldbuilding that doesn't get in the way. It's a PMD world...

    Pokémon Starfrost (OSAS One-shot)

    Figured I'd check this out for one-shot week, since I started OSAS! Definitely don't regret it; I really enjoyed this. (Still hoping to return for at least two more chapters of OSAS, though.) I enjoy the use of slurred words to show Wes is half-asleep in pure dialogue. Cute exchange of banter...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 42: Splitting Up

    <3 Thank you for thoughts, @HelloYellow17! I enjoyed them greatly. To clarify, I was twelve when I started the first version of this fic; this version is a reboot (rewrite from scratch, largely the same broad-strokes events happen but all the prose was new and the play-by-play was for the most...

    I'm going to drop some links to my fics here for good measure since honestly you wouldn't really know they existed before: Butterfree (one-shot) Trainers aren't supposed to have favorites, but you were my favorite. And then you started losing. A story about Butterfree, a trainer, avoidance...

    Pokémon White Swan, Black Swan

    An actual review for the prologue, after I read it and did some art for Smeargle Swap! Way too long because I cannot shut up but I hope it's illuminating. I'm a little confused by the "his own". Usually the "own" in a situation like this would be added to clarify which character is being...

    Author's note: Hello, all! This story was originally written in 2012, then revised fairly significantly in 2020 and posted here. I got some good feedback on that one, and have been working on more extensive revisions on and off since. This, finally, is version three. I would still appreciate...

    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    Hey! I'm back with a proper review of chapter one. I thought I might review three chapters at once but then I went on to write an essay and it's 4AM, so I'll just post this one and return to it later. Something easily fixed that jumped out at me here - it's not obvious until the next sentence...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 41: Return to Scorpio City

    Thank you for thoughts! Mark understands Sandshrew fine, but sometimes the fic has brief untranslated Pokémon vocalizations: - In a few cases (mostly Eevee), it's essentially 'baby talk' - a young/childish Pokémon babbling something that's not intelligible words. - Usually, it's just...

    Get ready for some more Carl and our next legendary battle! Chapter 38: Volcaryu “It’s half past six. Get up.” Mark opened his eyes and immediately regretted it. He recoiled and squinted at the bright light above him, first not sure where he was, until his eyes found the middle-aged...

    Chapter 37 time! In which Pupitar gets punted into lava. You are allowed to just skim the Mark/Alan battle here; it's not bad as my battles go but it's very long and not really relevant to anything other than a couple of fun pieces of thoughts/dialogue. Chapter 37: Carl “I have to hand it...

    "But she didn't do that! She was vague and waffly and not voicing any serious suspicion of anyone until I started accusing her for real, and only then did she suddenly go into rage mode accusing anyone and everyone. Seriously, doesn't anyone else see it?" [[OOC, one of the reasons I didn't like...
