Dragon Quill

A lot of stuff I get to skip, someone helpfully acknowledging kink as kink, an enemy team idea that actually sounds interesting, and yet another person insisting they totally know what they’re doing with SYOC on the basis they’ve got another unfinished SYOC already.

And so we (sorta) end. We’ve got cliches upon cliches, a lot of me complaining about different openings, a fresh nuzlocke outbreak, people thinking bad is automatically clever, a few things that are actually good, and complete wtf for an ending.

(more…)

Romance fic! Most of this is just going to be copypasta, but there’s some weird stuff too, like someone being so committed to find-and-replace they give us “sweet zombie Arceus”. Also lots of pokescrewing, because fandom will always be terrible.

The work continues. There is one fic set during the invention of the modern pokeball that looks like it might be interesting. Otherwise, not much of note.

Very boring today. Most interesting things are a few authors who desperately want to be writing original fiction and skies above I am so sick of that crap.

A few interesting things: A fic about the discovery of pokemon written in a Victorian style, a story about helping abused pokemon, and a kid protagonist who appears to be operating purely on his lizard brain.

Anime fics: 11

A lot of original fic, and a surprisingly dull ficlet about Ghetsis murdering the BW PC. Also another story about discovering pokemon; interesting that I got two of those so close together.

Anime fic: 3

(more…)

Something about an oppressed pokemorph. Otherwise boring.

Anime: 9

(more…)

A grimdarkification of Red/Blue that looks like it may be decent, and an OC-Ash fic with a decent premise that’s too poorly-written to get into. Otherwise cookie-cutter journey and anime fic, plus some academy fics.

Anime count: 6

(more…)

Fantasy story about Arceus’ chosen one; and several mad science pokemorph fics, one of which was decently-written but had the most questionable science.

Anime count: 5

(more…)

A supposedly shippy fic about Nanu being nasty to Guzma, and a stupid Pokemonization of Beauty and the Beast that completely misses the point of both the original myth and the characters it pigeonholes into the roles.

Anime count: 4

(more…)

One pokescrewing fic that manages to be only regular romance levels of creepy, and one that does not. More positively, a fic about N that is decent but still too equivocal about the subjugation of pokemon.

Anime count: 5

“I run over to the Poké Ball and grab it. I could feel rumbling inside, probably the failed efforts of the Timburr trying to escape. Now I know this adventure will be a blast.” But in better news, there is also an XY novelization with actual good writing and characterization.

Anime count: 11, plus a lot more by the same author I didn’t cover. I took a week off and now suddenly there is a ton of untagged anime fic. Probably a coincidence, but still interesting.

A request from Cadenceheart117, last seen giving a revenge review and then furiously backpedalling. Not sure what prompted the change of heart, but here we go anyway.
