Well now that publication on Bingofic is done, today was burning out, lazing (waste of a good quiet day), and thinking about what could be if this new event wasn't Mafia. Once I got my act together, 165 words between edits of the rewrite of Nori's first fic and the Next Fic in Line. Mostly some dialog that sprang to mind on the latter.

Since the anniversary celebrations are over, I wanted to report that in total we wrote an amazing 74177 words!

And here are the mistery eggs that everyone requested (if I missed someone, please let me know)!

An additional 804 words on Blackout Bingo v3. A solid 1197 words on it in total today. Who knows how many words it'll end up at in the end? Maybe enough to make it a three-shot if I really want to. I've enough time with my current pace. Editing's going to be the big catch here. I'll have to put words into other fics in the series in the meantime afterwards.

I guess I'll formally announce it as Claris Willins: The Question of a Friend. I had two options (that I thought of at the time, could've done a third) for "Childhood Friend" and I went with the more long-term relevant character. And short-term for that matter. It's the first direct sequel I've written in the series, though as usual, it explains enough on its own that reading the first one isn't needed.


Hm. Generation 7, Steel. Because why the heck not?!

I was hoping this one would be shiny because it's soooo cool.
Maybe a bug type from gen 5

Never quite realized how many bug types there are in Gen 5...
553 words. Finished second drabble, really enjoyed writing this one.

Gen 9, Normal. Methinks it'd be goofy funny if I could get the turtle
squawkabilly-blue.png

I was also hoping for the turtle : ( But hey you can choose the Squawkabilly color you want, I guess!
I'd like a Gen 1 Fairy-type egg, please! (Assuming the rules are using the current typings for mons whose types were revised upon the introduction of the Fairy type. If not, then Normal-type, lol.)

Going by primary type, it was literally just Clefairy lol
I would like a Gen 7, Psychic egg please!

Gen 2, Dark type!

Thanks so much for putting all this on, Neko!!! Its been so much fun
murkrow-f.png

I know you were probably aiming for shiny Houndour, fun fact, if the dices had been reversed, you would have gotten it lol
(I rolled a 3 sided dice to choose between Murkrow-Sneasel-Houndour so 1 got you Murkrow and number 3 got you not shiny.)
In my opinion you got best boy

WHY ARE WE GETTING ONLY THE COOLEST SHINY LEGENDS
Could I get a fighting type from generation 4?

This was also the only choice in primary fighting types in Gen 4, it surprised me. Sadly no shiny.
Congrats, everyone, on hitting the top prize tier! For my part I would like a Gen III Dark egg, please!

Also reporting a little more work on Salvage in the past few days...

The gem gremlin came rushing out over Poochyena and Absol, I'm afraid

Finally for myself, which I forgot to write (I think), but was a Fighting type, Gen 9...
tauros-paldean-combat.png

I was obviously going for Koraidon, but I will take cooler Tauros lol

I was really hoping there would be a bit more shiny surprises but it's still RNG at the end, but I still hope everyone had fun with the event! I'll definitely plan other events similar to this one, and raise the treshold quite a bit, I think we've proven that we can aim much higher!

Also, everyone that took part in the event can add the following Achievement to their Trainer card:
- Timekeeper's friend: took part in the 2025 TR Anniversary Writing Event!

Back to writing Timeslip!and hopefully other stuff.
I'm using colors to log if I've logged progress for each fic that day so I can keep them all in one template but still see immediately if I have made progress each day.
