Namohysip's Nominations

What better way to commemorate the finishing of one of the longest works than by nominating it, eh? I didn't go through this entire thing for nothing.

This is a very subdued story with a lot of powerful emotions hidden beneath. There's a lot to admire from how Nebula can bring high fantasy down to earth.

Another relatively simple story with a bright-eyed protagonist who just wants to help out. A bit rushed, but the intent is there.

I dunno man. It was a really simple story with a nice world to go with it. I liked it. And I'm surprised it was published in 2019–just right at the very beginning.

Don't overlook this one. There are a lot of little things going on in this plot being built up and I can't wait to see what Bugle is gonna do with it.

It's literally a Kirby crossover and nobody acknowledges it.

The unorthodox chronology makes for an interesting unraveling of a story and the ever-widening flashlight to the true backdrop Nebula is trying to depict…

If there's one thing you can say Fledglings dedicates way too many words to, it's the setting. No seriously, I… I think it's almost a full third of the fic.

The plot is heavily tied to how the main characters grow and react (differently!) to what happens, and what they do to make things happen next. How people change, and how they don't change at all…

He wants to be a dragon, but there's so much you can do with that.

Tales of grief and recovery mingle together in this very modern Pokemon story.

I didn't see it coming, and yet I'm probably more invested in it than anything else in the story.

Chibi seems to have a strong affinity for reversals in the middle of battle. And there are a LOT of those here.

All things considered, it's a very relatable story for a lot of people – The bonds you lose as time passes and you go separate ways, only to wonder what could have been, but can no longer be…

If only because it's easy to relate to… I mean, who doesn't want to be a dragon?!

The brave coward is a trope you see a lot, but not often one done quite like this, I don't think… And it's subtle, too.

This guy has a lot of internal conflict going on, and is probably the one Pokemon who seems to understand life in both sides of the world's main division–Pallids and civils.

I kinda wish I saw more of this guy. He's probably one of the most level-headed characters in the early story and that seems to continue, and it's a nice contrast to all the action going on.

I can't get into the reasoning without getting really in-depth about it, but despite starting off as your typical cartoonish villain, the depth that comes forward and the path that led up to how he became what he was leads to a very complete character.

I kept it vague, but anybody who read it would know who I'm talking about; for such little screen time, the implications and the hints toward the source's story makes for an oddly wholesome, if not unsettling, message.

He wanna be a dragon.

This is the scene that made me favorite it on FFN. Very powerful stuff.

I mean, by the numbers…

I'm a bit biased because I'm his beta, but the guy soaks up new information like a sponge. I think if anybody read through his (old) first chapters and compared them to the new versions, you'd see what I mean. Another way to tell? Just look at chapter, I think it's 4 compared to 5, and you might see where he stopped touching up the old chapters to refocus on new content.
