    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Dual Wills

    Hoo boy, yeah. Still in the fic tutorial, for better or for worse. I do think you do a very good job of moving the tour along. There aren't these pauses to the chapter for exposition like before, save for that bit in the beginning. That one gets a pass since it's kinda framed as being stated to...

    Chapter 77: City of Unfortunate Events It wasn't quite the level of chaos Seifer had seen in the shaky videos of Venish, but that wasn't for lack of trying. Various muscular pokémon ran down the main street, tossing small seeds at nearby shops and restaurants. A few lobbed the seeds up toward...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    I know I got assigned this for V-Wheel, yet I don't find myself with all that much to say about the chapter over all. It's not a bad chapter by any means. I just think some of the stuff at the healer's den failed to hold my attention because the fic has, at this point, established a pattern of...

    Review Blitz 2023 Kick-Off Thread

    Maybe one year the Blitz timeframe I want will win and I can feel confident offering some sort of prize. But that will sadly not be this year. RIP. :sadbees:

    Blitz review prep 2023

    Well, there were fewer date options this year, but for the third Blitz in a row, it looks like the option that aligns poorest with my own schedule is going to win out. I'll be away for a solid chunk of the Blitz. I... would say I'm genuinely amazed this keeps happening, but by now it's pretty...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    Huzzah! Forward progress that didn't involve getting into a fight. I think this chapter might've had a longer word count than a couple of the previous ones? Or I'm just seeing things. But it felt brisker in spite of that because the team's able to get through multiple set pieces before shambling...

    Pokémon Once a Thief

    Oh, hey, look, they ran into the chief and had a big ol' scuffle because of it after all. Though the, uh, misdeeds alluded to in the previous chapter sound more like cases of miscommunication killing judging from what follows. Which is... always something people will have mixed feelings on...

    Can’t say I’m surprised. “Amby didn’t read the assignment.” Oh well. C’est la vie. Congrats and thanks to the judges. Doubt I’m going to be revising because my limited writing attention has to go to my fic, which increasingly looks like it needs to be fully drafted by a certain point or it will...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Dual Wills

    Calling it now: dey gonna escape and be problems in the future. Maybe downgraded from arc villains. Unless there's some bigger force at work that sinks their fangs into them. So, this right here speaks to two problems. The first being that this renders the initial start to the scene as clunky...
