[Ambyssin]

For personal reasons, I will most likely forego my usual "one giant surprise review" that I've done the past Blitzes. Instead, I'm aiming to keep things modest and just use the Blitz to catch up with some PMD fics.

@Arukona's PMD: Dual Wills (though I think it might be on hold while he focuses on other projects?)
@SnapDragon's PMD: Flowerbeds
@SparklingEspeon's Psychic Cats
@windskull's Places We Call Home
And maybe @Spiteful Murkrow's Once a Thief

I think these would only fit one of the Blitz's likely themes, but I'm fine with that.

 

[Negrek]

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 get a bit deeper into White Swan, Black Swan this year, and then there's the question of what new stories I'd like to pick up! I'd like to read some TCG2 Adventures and more of Arukona's fics (that N story he put out earlier! ), but there's a lot to choose from. Will be making an effort to fill out a solid slate of new-to-me authors this year.

 

[Tango]

As for me, I'm planning to continue doing reviews for my current exchange partners but beyond that, I am open to possibilities. I will offer a hint that I am looking to have my fic branch out to more readers and I have a plan for that. I'll reveal it with the self-promo thread once that gets posted.

 

[Spiteful Murkrow]

As is has become a bit of a tradition of mine, my goal is to shoot a review for everyone who has written me a review somewhere on the internet in the past calendar year / during the ongoing Review Blitz that is here on TR and has something that I haven't reviewed to completion yet and didn't co-write.

From what I could find crawling the sites, that list of lucky winners assuming I can find something of theirs which fits the bill onsite is:

Plus whoever decides to surprise me between now and the end of Review Blitz by either dropping a review on me, or crossposting a story for me to review here as listed below:

That's it. That's my Review Blitz goal for this year. We'll see what else I get in along the way.
