Hey, Goolix! I enjoyed your contest entry earlier this year, so I was excited to check out the expanded version once you began posting it. That was a great decision! I've been having a lot of fun with it so far. I love the idea of looking at startup culture in the Pokémon World. It's a world...

Hey, Axihdio! Welcome to the forums, and congratulations on posting your first fic. I read the first three chapters, which already had a ton going on in them! I wasn't sure how long we were going to remain in "high school" mode, and the answer was not long at all! Things really kick off with a...

Hey, Fanfictioner! This felt like a good opportunity to check out your work, so I figured I'd start with one of your self-contained episode rewrites. I didn't see a particular recommended order or any that you especially wanted feedback on in your self-rec post, so I picked this one, since it...

Hey, Fobbie. Here for my Blitzly catch-up on Once a Thief, through Chapter 35. And what a run of chapters it is! This feels like the most action-packed set of chapters in the fic thus far. The gang gets captured and split up, Sophia confronts Lacan about what's going on with Operation Spark...

Ah, so the mysterious not-partner is a ditto! That’s fun; it’s rare to see a ditto get more than a bit part in a story, but there’s a lot you can do with them, especially if they’re going to be the sneaky antagonists type. Right now their motivations are a bit too vague to really latch...

Review Blitz 2025: Prize Claim Thread Welcome to the prize claim thread, where you can cash in your hard-earned Blitz points for the wonderful prizes provided by our team of volunteers. Take a look at the list of offerings below, and when you've decided what you like, simply post in this...

Hey, Fobbie. Sorry for the mix-up with your earlier prize review; I’m here to round out the five chapters with comments on Chapter 40. Which is kind of unfortunate to read as a standalone, since it’s mostly battle and otherwise mostly brief scenes of characters coming or going. Definitely...

Review Blitz 2025 Welcome to Thousand Roads' seventh annual review blitz, our biggest feedback event and your opportunity to catch up with the fics you've spent the past year meaning to read. If you've participated in a review blitz before, you should find this one familiar! If this is your...

Blitz Hype and Fic Rec Thread Welcome to the 2025 Review Blitz hype and fic rec thread! This thread is for general Blitz discussion and hype--talk about your plans for the event, show off the prizes you've received, challenge someone to a review-off: it's all good! This thread is also your...

Eyyy, nice work! It's a lot of fun seeing all that classic artwork in there, and your commissioned pieces look right at home among them.

It has come to my attention that I've once again been bamboozled by time zones! The event is supposed to run a Sunday - Sunday (EST) schedule this year, which means it will actually begin midnight UTC Monday, December 22nd. Sorry for the confusion! Look out for the official rules, prizes, etc...

Hey, Arukona! Here with a long-overdue Blitz prize review, covering chapters 7-9. Like you said, this does work out nicely, since we're obviously closing out the opening arc here and getting ready to move on to grander things. I'm definitely ready to get out and see more of the world! I think...

I've been meaning to get into the swing of reading some poképod fics, and I'm happy to start off with this one! I really enjoy the "circle of life" angle you've taken with the beasts here; it's one I haven't seen attributed to them before, even though it makes thematic sense with their...

Welcome to the forums! And congrats on getting your first story posted; that's a big hurdle for everyone, so I hope you're feeling good about having gotten over it. This is a really interesting start! I like how you're playing with the expectations of the genre and indicating that something is...

As usual this year, I plan to catch up with my staples of Once a Thief, Places We Call Home, and Broken Things for sure! I also have some outstanding chapters of Legendarian Chronicles and What the Gods Gave Me (new chapter just out!!) that I need to catch up on as well. If possible I'd like to...

I'm closing up a little late, so no worries! Thanks to everyone helping out with prizes or running the event this year--I think we've got some very nice options to offer to our reviewers. Thanks especially to those of you who threw your hats in after I mentioned we were light on high-level art...

Thanks a ton for proposing this theme idea and hosting the corpse this year, Walrein! People had a ton of fun with it, both writers and readers, and it's always amazing to see new takes on the corpse concept. Also, a huge shout-out to all the writers in this corpse! There were so many...

Thanks so much for running the Royale, Nekodatta! It was great seeing so many people put up big word counts this year. I will happily take a shiny Mewtwo as my pokémon prize, but since I'm not a huge fan of the megas, I think I'll do an absolite to go with it. I may have someone to use that with...

Thanks so much to everyone who's offered prizes or logistics support thus far! We're shaping up to have an awesome prize selection this year for sure. :quag: Just as an FYI, I'll be sending out invites to the Discord prize server (optional! all communication can be done over the forums if you'd...
