Finally made an account after a few months of lurking!
Some of you might know me, but most probably don't. I used to be in the Pokemon fanfiction scene years ago, but took a long break about seven years ago. (Also took a break from Pokemon completely then.) I came back to the fandom, but still didn't read fanfiction because I had other things going on.
Recently, though, I've been trying to cut back my time scrolling on pointless social media. I still would like to have things to read on my phone, so I figured why not return to fanfiction? Imagine my surprise as to how the culture of it has changed. And imagine how grateful I am to have found this forum by checking out old haunts. So so glad to found a place where reviewing, especially constructively, is welcomed!
I'm a little different compared to most here in that I don't really have fanfiction to post here. I do dabble in writing it, even having a project for another fandom that I've been working on for years. But my main contribution to the fanfiction community has always been reviewing. I'll read just about everything for the Pokemon fandom, though I love trainer fics. I can follow early anime fics (I've seen up to the middle of Hoenn, but I'm watching through the entire series now from the start), and game fics (played mainline up to US/UM, but have plans to play the games that came out after). I'll read PMD fics as well. Feel free to send any requests!
As for other information: My favorite Pokemon is Meowth, but my "signature" Pokemon online is Pikachu. My favorite game is FireRed. For simplicity's sake, you can all call me "Hunter" or "Asty" if my username is difficult to remember!
