Managed to do another review. 374 words, 1 chapter, fulfilled the theme. The fic is pretty interesting -- called The Envy of Eden, maybe you want to check it out ;)

Here I am. Back again.

It's been a few days becaus life had to take a turn, as it is always does. But today I got a chance to read more and now I come in with a few more reviews.

First, a review for Different Eyes. This one made me feel old.

This review was for the prologue and chapter 1, essentially two chapter. It was 583 words long which narrowed down comes up to 2 points...so it was pretty balanced.

Second, a review for Out of Hand. This one gave me feels.

The review was meant to cover all three chapters (and the special) of the story, it amounted to 924 words which comes down to 3 points once you random it down.

And lastly, the one that had me sitting for an hour to review but was a real surprise to read through, The Suicune's Choice

This review was for all five chapters currently out of the story and I completely threw consistency out of the window because the review amounted to a whopping 2152 words which comes down to 8 points. However, because we go by the lower score, I only get 5 points from what's out of the story.

Also since I hadn't reviewed any of thoe stories before and it's still a few hours before the theme passes, I get an extra point for each one so that comes up to 3 points, 4 points and 6 points bringing it to a total of 13 points.

Adding that to my previous 14 I should now be at 27 points total.

Wrote my biggest review yet! Reviewed Bench's "Eternal Shadows". According to my math, it was 2391 words, so by math, it should be 9.5 points. However, I reviewed 8 chapters, and so, choosing the lowest, I should be getting 8 points, right? And another extra point for the theme, as I never reviewed this fic before. Therefore, I should be getting 9 points from this, and adding that to my previous score, 18 points? As usual, feel free to correct me!

That's awesome!! Looks like a really hefty review in there; I'm sure it took a lot of work!

Your math is pretty good--points round down to the nearest whole point, so that 9.5 word count would be 9, but otherwise this looks excellent! Great work!

Alll riiiight, coming in hot right before going ot bed and right before the theme changes.

Here's my last review for the night. Butterfree, the story about one of my favorite pokemon that somehow made me cry.

The review was 282 words long which randoms down to 1 word, but since it's a oneshot it's not like it really does any difference.

Also, you know, completely new story I hadn't read, so it's 2 points

That's 29 points now and I'm done for the day xD.

Crawling into Review Blitz with last minute entries...

As I noted with Neb a while back, I was looking to participate in Review Blitz, and hopefully this will help me actually get writing reviews, rather than not! For now, looks like a goal of one review a week isn't too far from the truth, but I'll take any review I write that I can get.

Finally got Catnip! Was again last X (, but not the extreme solo outlier for once... to revisit this properly next week!
Probably barely over 250w.
First review on this fic.
First chapter response on PMD: Rebirth, by Shadow of Antioch.

And another response, also for chapter 1, for LukeSkyRunner's Roads of Life.
Definitely over 250w, but no time to remove quotes to count.
First review on this fic.
