It’s Halloween! Time to review the horror and suspense fic posted this month.
…and run headlong into the fact people still can’t manage either with their videogame creepypasta flailings, but the other stuff’s better than usual.

NaRe 2020 Day 1
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13466763/1/Fresh-Start (0) Yup, story up almost a day, zero reviews, not a good start to this.
NaRe 2020 Day 2
A slightly different Ash-betrayal fic, another one of people thinking “understands pokemon” is a great thing to throw in, and a particularly awkward all-pokemon fic where there’s pokemon pulling the carts and other pokemon driving them and yet I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to mean the former is the latter’s slave.
NaRe 2020 Day 3
Today, being a charizard cannot outweigh the need for women to be helpless victims, someone wanting cookies for only mildly neglecting their pet, and yet more of everyone hating on Darkrai. (more…)
NaRe 2020 Day 4
Idiot assholes, more people who can talk to pokemon and don’t care, weird porn.
NaRe 2020 Day 5
A nice bunch of unusual OT setups for once, a fic about how Ghetsis was abused as a kid, and a remarkably stupid professor who invents a remarkably overpowered piece of tech and thinks it’s not going to be used for military purposes.
NaRe 2020 Day 6
Somebody else is going around saying similar things. Not sure why now in particular.
NaRe 2020 Day 7
Vlogging story that’s quite nice except for how the character has every reason not do so, a reminder of the failings of sex ed, yet more older trainers, and a return to my old favorite of people being completely unprepared for the journey part of pokemon journeys. (Snow: that literally does mean it’s freezing cold people, put on a damn jacket.)
NaRe 2020 Day 8
An oldschool edgy badass sue that hints at a more interesting oldschool edgy badass sue story, a pair of pokemon vs human fics that make slightly more sense than usual but still have issues, yet another fic that starts interesting only to cuts to people sitting around being boring, and cults!
NaRe 2020 Day 9
The usual, right up until it isn’t.
NaRe 2020 Day 10
A fic that does the “scary monster pokemon that must die” but without being obviously terrible, sexism sexism sexism, a particularly ludicrous retreading of the anime opening now with magic rocks, and talking pokemon continue to be nameless but super into being named by you. (more…)
NaRe 2020 Day 11
A fic engaging with pokemon treatment and ethics! Also, Ash and girls, but one of them is weird because the girl’s side of things is the actual story and yet for some reason the narrative keeps drifting over to Ash doing nothing of note. And yet another PMD fic with a quiz that accidentally brushes up again the possibility of doing something interesting with it.
NaRe 2020 Day 12
NaRe 2020 Day 13
Today, a story focused around battling that runs into the usual problem of trainers not being half so clever as they’re supposed to be, Steven Stone being unhappy about Devon, someone is into giant bunnies, and a “people and pokemon” thing.
NaRe 2020 Day 14
A surprising lack of people waking up in the morning. There’s some uncomfortable childishness tied to gore and porn, some quality grimdark, and some apparently inadvertent grimdark abuse. (more…)
