Given that I reviewed chapter 1 on Serebii a while back, this should mean this review counts for the weekly theme if I'm understanding it correctly.

  • @Virgil134, @The Desert Cat, @Umbramatic, and @Negrek for bravely entering the lion's den with us and starting this week!

And with that, Week 2 is officially closed and Week 3 is officially open!

It's time to hold on to your hats and prepare for a blast to the past! Have a fic that you've fallen off the wagon for? That's perfect; we're here to encourage that kind of behavior. For the third week, it's time for Something Blue!: Review a fic that you've reviewed before!

Week 3 will close at 11:59:59 PM (GMT-0) on January 12, aka when this timer hits 0.

Rock on; here's to another great week! I'll be posting below for how prizes are going to pan out, so keep your eyes peeled!
