@unrepentantAuthor; I've been meaning to read Different Eyes for a while now, so why not make it an official exchange? I should have a review up in two weeks tops, but you're welcome to more time since I'm sure you've got a lot on your plate (not to mention my fic's five times longer than yours).

I'd be more than happy to, AetherX! I'm flattered, honestly~ Which of your two fics would you like me to peruse? I should be able to respond within a reasonable timeframe, now that I'm a little freer. (Bear in mind, I operate on a chapter-for-chapter basis~)

The registered one, Unpredictable. Locked in Battle is... out of date. In that case, I'll do likewise. Also, it would probably be most helpful to me and easier for you to skip reviewing the first half, at the very least. I started writing Unpredictable in December of 2010, so it's been a while. My writing style and quality has changed dramatically, but in the end it's up to you.

I just finished reading Chapter One, and should have a review up before long.

I have added myself to the list.

If anyone would like to engage in a review swap with me, please let me know.

Ooh, we both have just one chapter, @Gastly's Mama;, so how about we exchange reviews? If you're not interested in reading a Cilan story, though, that's okay. I know he isn't liked by everyone. xP

Hey @ArceusAlpha493, I'd like to exchange reviews with you. My fanfic is called The Mask's Secret and it's a journey fic too, focused on Bruno and Lorelei. How about it?

Edit: Following Kelleo's suggestion (thank you), here's the information of my story:

Link: The Mask's Secret

Description: Journey fic based on Bruno's and Lorelei's adventures through Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova to stop a new villain nicknamed The Mask.

Chapters: Only Chapter 1 posted as of May 30th, 2012 . I'm quite irregular with updates, but I'll try to do once every week and a half.

What do you want?: Basically I'm urging for description details, which means I'm not sure if I'm setting the background as I should or if you really get what I'm trying to pass on. I know it's a bit too much (and probably quite impossible to get in a review), but basically is your opinion about how the story is going.

Willing to read: A bit of everything, although a journey fic preferred. Also, if it's going to be something else different from Pokemon I might not understand the context (except for DBZ and Digimon)

You have to add your story to the list to be able to exchange reviews. The details are in the first post.

@Kelleo, please don't take it on yourself to tell other users what they should do. I know you want to help, but that's our job.

Also, list updated. (I think that's everyone?) Please note that if you want to offer a review exchange, you need to tag the user concerned in your post with the mentions feature, BBCode [MENTION][/MENTION].

Arrangements, including the time limit within which you are going to review each other's fics should be made in this thread.

Oh, sorry. The rules didn't state that we had to use the mention tags. My bad. xP

And yeah, I was only trying to help. My mistake again.

@Kelleo; I'd be happy to do a review exchange with you on your story. I'm going to be a bit busy today, but I should be able to read it by Saturday, I think. Would both of us leaving reviews by, say, Monday work for you?

@Gastly's Mama; Yeah, sure, that should work out fine. :)

Thanks!

Misheard Whisper, the link of my story in the first post isn't working, nor that of Gotpika. Could you please fix it? :)

Blast, I just copied and pasted. Apologies, I'll fix that now.

Should we change our entry when we add a new chapter?

@Gotpika; How about an exchange? I can most likely get it done tomorrow.

@diamondpearl876; @Feliciano; @Tsutarja; @Legacy; @AetherX; I know I owe all you guys reviews, and I'm trying to get my tail on it ASAP. I'd appreciate a reminder of how many reviews I owe each of you, I've become very disorganised recently. If I've missed anyone out, feel free to berate me.

I've only given you one review so far, but I plan on changing that today. Take your time, you're nowhere near my current record for being promised a review and not getting it (I last talked to him in February, when he was a YEAR late and I still haven't gotten it, so don't feel pressured).

Consider yourself berated ;P

EDIT: Yeah, make that two reviews. Again, it's up to you whether you do the chapters one by one or only write reviews for the more recent ones (I really do encourage the latter, starting with the most recent arc or the one before that if you feel so inclined).
