Chapter 1: First Impressions review - Reiland Institute’s building strikes me as the sort of place where they built it in this ancient city thinking “yeah we’re gonna modernize this city with this sleek contemporary building” and it just ends up looking dated and tired while all the old stuff...

I just had a wild thought. Third person present tense prose fiction. I know I'm not nearly as well read as I aught to be, but it's something I have no specific memory of encountering before. First person past and third person past are like standard pretty much. First person present I've seen...

Prologue: The Wilted Flower review - Oh shucks, an elaborately created original-region with original characters developed over a long period and a story that’s seemingly been rebooted or retooled over multiple pre-existing iterations? Boy this is speaking to my heart as a creator. The...

Yeah, it's why even people who literally break the law to explore/document abandoned sites or buildings still frown upon people who take "souvenirs".

CHAPTER 10 12 review - Wowie, a 10k word heavy hitter! Orion's history gradually unfolding both to the readers and to Orion himself has been interesting as we've gotten pretty much constant answers and new information while still maintaining a sense of mystery. The purse snatchers attempt to...

Check out the Wikipedia article for the Space Shuttle OV-104 Atlantis, you can get a peek of how it's deployed in some actual "formal" writing.

CHAPTER 10 review - After all that relentless peril, it’s nice to see Orion getting some medical attention. I was so worried about Yukie accidentally being exposed that I forgot how precarious Orion’s position is within this city too! I like the balancing of the more obvious magical elements...

As someone who's play through most of, or have actually beaten Metroid II, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid Prime, and Metroid Prime 2.... Metroid Dread is so difficult with its combat, controls, and extreme difficulty curve, that I find myself unable to play, or...

Thanks @more than a torchic, you recognized me for doing the specific thing I came back here for after all these years. I never even imagined I'd be specifically recognized for it, I was just... doing stuff I guess? Hey I love this place, and these days, any support for traditional forums is...

Great, cause that's literally all I came here for. And nice seeing the old and new faces again, even if most of those faces are just a sports team logo or a Simpsons character or something. :P

I'm currently writing about some Pokémon sneaking away from their Trainers late at night, loitering in the park, and eating poffins with "Pokénip" in them. I can't stop myself from writing it, but I can stop myself from sharing it, so there's still hope for me, right? :P

CHAPTER 8 review - Well the theme of temptation with Lexi and Hesh last chapter certainly was carried through to this one, with much higher stakes! I was anticipating some more discoveries about the origin and motivation of the Shadow Pokemon, but I wasn’t expecting it so soon, or to be as...

Yeah, one of the challenges I've seen discussed with a greater-scope villain is making sure the escalation of stakes upon their revelation or introduction near the end of a story makes sense for the reader. Some video games, such as some of the earlier Final Fantasy games do something similar...

CHAPTER 6 review - Hey thanks for the reply! Don’t worry, there’s seldom any way for a story to disappoint me compared to my own educated guesses or predictions, I think borrowing the vague sense of an idea you heard a little about before you got a full sense of how it was deployed in the...

Since I've been gone for a few years, what's the guidelines these days on "bumping" threads? I used to sometimes read and review stuff from the second page and never thought twice about it, but it seems like things move slower than they used to, and even stuff on the bottom of the first page...
