Pokeauthors Special Spotlight: Another Verse
“… You understand that you aren’t very loved on this site, and if I’ll try to think on and accept your criticism you will have to do the same and try to improve your ways, before starting with the story that ‘people are insensitive’.”
Someone drinks Blaze’s Kool-Aid and decides people wanting to burn me at the stake is proof I deserve to be burned at the stake. They proceed to tell me to repent and mend my ways without actually telling me how, as per usual.
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 109
Mixed bag today. Several people are reasonable, but one completely loses it because I obviously knew one of the authors I reviewed plagiarized their story.
QuickRecs: Gender and Sexuality Manga Edition
So last year, aka the Abyss Stares Back 2017 Fuckstravaganza, I had originally intended to do a post about yuri manga aimed at women, since popular yuri is a complete minefield of lesbian porn for dudebros and then maybe once in a while an actual story about lesbians aimed at the people it’s about. The post got lost when my life went to shit, but I mentioned it in passing to Keleri the other day and thought, hmm, I should go back to that, and then I read The Bride Was a Boy which was so delightful I had to post about it, so it was re-born as this!
A semi-important note: a bunch of these I read over a year ago, so while you’re 100% welcome to make “How could you rec this when on page 5 situation X is super problematic etc etc” comments, the honest answer is that I probably just forgot about that and remembered the parts I liked. Please make those comments if you feel the need because they’re useful, but I likely won’t be able to meaningfully respond. D:
Anyway. Inside: Love My Life, Blue, The Bride Was a Boy, My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness, My Brother’s Husband

Umineko – Turn of the Golden Witch – 10/4, 10:45 AM to 12:00 AM
Last time, I decide on an approach to this route.
Also, FWIW, this is the point at which I picked back up after the hiatus, so if I’ve forgotten some details I seem to have remembered last time I beg your forgiveness.
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 108
Calm responses today, including one that seems genuinely interested in my opinions.
[12] The Other Pokereviews, Part 108
A pokemon-only society that’s not PMD, and a trainerfic that appears to be walking the walk on pokemon treatment and hints at an unusual plot to come.

Last time, we finish the prologue.
A Wild Author Appears!
Someone unrelated to Blaze’s posse but who was still taking random potshots at me abruptly decided to contact me out of the blue. I didn’t learn much, other than that people continue to love ceding the moral high ground.
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 107
Very reasonable responses today, including some nice discussion about geopolitics and worldbuilding.
[19] The Other Pokereviews, Part 107
A Pokemon Colosseum novelization that actually looks pretty good, and several other novelizations that do not.
Anime count: 5
