    Game Week of the Multiverse: Signups

    I've chosen my second: Lillie Mohn Species: Former Human, now Mimikyu Appearance: A Mimikyu's true appearance is unknown, for those who gaze upon it supposedly die of horror. Preferably, I'd like her to show up without any sort of pikachu costume, hidden underneath her hat, but that's open to...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    "My favourite story..." Celeste paused to think for a moment. "It's hard to pick just one favourite. Perhaps the story of the first one to meet Ho-Oh in the flesh, and the one who build the shrine in which I live. Unlike all the Vulpixes and Ninetales I've seen here, they were a fire type with a...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Oh great. The Wii was shipping her with Gen. Gosh, couldn't she just hug a guy without it having to be some kind of straight thing? She wanted to stop just to spite the thing, but making sure Gen felt okay was more important.

    Celeste laughed. "I wonder. Salac needs someone to get her out of her shell a little. Though in all honesty, she'd have said the same of me... As far as myself back home was concerned, she's right. I suppose I've just been brought out of my shell by my friends here." The shimmering of Icetales'...

    Celeste pressed his paw to his forehead. “Don’t get me started on Pop. What an ordeal it is to listen to them speak. No wonder this world keeps having crisis after crisis.” Celeste nodded. "I suppose so. I haven't needed it for anything more than communicating, either. Still, the amount of...

    The White Elephant in the Room Playground

    Once Gen couldn't see her face anymore, Abigail started smirking. He had needed a hug after all. If only he felt comfortable asking for one when he needed it, but he wasn't the first person she'd met like that, and she knew how to work around the whole 'I'm fine' song and dance.

    "Oh. I was hoping you, like, needed a hug or something. Just because I could use one after all this."

    Abigail wasn't sure what Gen was doing, but it looked like something. She figured she'd talk to him. "Gen? How are you holding up?"

    "Ah. I won't bother you on the subject any longer, then. I wouldn't know anything of 'Noblesse Oblige' anyways." Celeste was worried he'd killed the mood, and made everything tense again. As if they need any more tension in their lives... He readily accepted the subject change. "They compare...

    Celeste almost choked on his tea. "You had nine older siblings! Gosh, I think one was enough for me. Your mother must've been busy." He took a moment to regain his composure before continuing. "I mean. I am sorry to hear about the state of your family. You deserve better. In any case, I'm glad...

    Celeste nodded and accepted the tea, taking a sip. It felt warm in his stomach. "Home was quiet for me. My egg was taken in by a delphox. My mother. She had a daughter already, so I have and older sister. Her name is Salac." He stared at the surface of the tea. "Our village was built for its...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Celeste had never really seen much of Icetales' eyes as a vulpix. As Icetales looked into his eyes, he couldn't help but notice how brilliant they were. It was like the entirety of the whites were sapphire instead. He suddenly felt self-conscious about his eyes. He hoped the contact lenses were...

    Abigail grimaced. "I'm going to go get some fresh air. Enjoy... whatever this is."

    Celeste's eyes lit up. "Icetales! It's been too long. Last we spent time together was... What, the party? You were still a vulpix back then..." He laughed half-heartedly. "Life here has been quite the tempest since then, has it not? We've just been going and going, with barely the time to catch...

    Review Blitz 2021: Post-Event Feedback

    Those are only the words that would otherwise count for nothing. Everything else would be at 200 words per chapter, which is more generous than the original 250. Edit: Nope, I did make a typo. It was supposed to be 300 words per point.

    Review Blitz 2021: Post-Event Feedback

    On second thought, this is over complicated and I've thought a better way to do more is less the same thing. Or, two slightly different better ways. It not only is simpler, it also makes life easier for Kint. Making things easy for Kint is nice. The change is making it so that you get one point...

    Threadmarks: R8: Icetales and Celeste Gaze at Stars

    The winds on the beach were slower than their usual speed, having dropped to a mournful whistling, as if even the air itself was feeling the bitterness of the team's situation. With less wind to stir them up, the waves that usually crashed against the grey sands had relaxed to lapping gently...

    First of all, more variety in challenges means that more fics will qualify, not fewer. Nothing about the weekly element encouraged each to review different fics from each other, it was "entirely possible" for us to all choose the same fics, but that just... doesn't happen. Likewise, people...

    Review Blitz 2021: Post-Event Feedback

    What if the points system was something more like "each review of a chapter (to a minimum of 200 words each) or each 300 words, whichever is greater. I don't know if that's phrased clearly, but what I'm getting at is this: If you review multiple chapters, your words convert to points more...
