The Other Pokeauthors, Part 117
“So you finally came. St Elmo’s fire, I shouldn’t have to write to fit your needs alone. In that case you might as well hold someone’s hand as they write.
Imagine it like this, your favorite author is writing in a new style that you don’t like and you complain to him. Should he have to adapt to the views of the few or the views of the many? I used a perfectly normal use of bold for notes. Its much simpler and easier to notice. The underline is then used to start the chapter.
Now enjoy. Maybe. Your just picky.”
The review consisted of the anime and horizontal line paragraphs and nothing else.
[23] The Other Pokereviews, Part 118
A neat take on the Giratina battle in Platinum, an OT fic that actually looks decent, and a story about pokemon rescuing abused trainer pokemon where the pokemon all act like humans.

“I don’t consider Pokémon giving each other names, apart from nicknames like ‘Lu’ for Lucario or ‘Goth’ for Gothitelle.
Let’s just face it. We disagree on many things in the Pokemon universe. If you don’t like the way I write, then don’t read it. Simple as that.”

Someone actually apologizes after flipping out at me today.
[32] The Other Pokereviews, Part 120
A great surreal SuMo novelization today, and a HGSS adaptation that was good up until it started talking about how funny it was the trainer’s pokemon didn’t want to get beaten into the pavement for his personal glory because pokemon don’t get to have opinions. I also read through one of the more coherent pokescrewing fics just to complain about the biology.

“Pokemon species names are canonically capitalized no matter the context. They are proper nouns, not common nouns.
My author’s notes are clearly distinguished from the rest of the story and nitpicking the formatting is not constructive criticism.
Enjoy your block.”

“Since most people writing Pokemon fanfictions on http://www.fanfiction.net are writing anime fics anyways maybe you should consider moving over to archiveofourown where you can find almost exclusively game-centric fics. But we all know you won’t do that because you enjoy complaining about shitposts from http://www.fanfiction.net too much.”
[20] The Other Pokereviews, Part 122
Today there’s a a fic that plays out the scene from Unoriginality 30 almost verbatim with absolutely no trace of irony.

Someone actually apologizes today after realizing Blaze’s account of me was wildly inaccurate.

“Fun fact: Outside of fan fiction, I actually wrote an original story and got it published under my real name as a paperback, and that was BEFORE I began writing that fanfic of mine based on Diamond and Pearl, so don’t you EVER try to tell me that I can’t write, mate. I can clearly write well enough to convince people to pay me MONEY for it. Let’s see your counter-argument for THAT one.”
People really have no idea what we do here, do they?
