Magolor's Coffeehouse

Editorial 04: Two GOOD Pokémon Authors

"Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Magolor's Coffeehouse!" Magolor said cheerily. "And welcome back to Pokémon Month!"

"Well, we've passed the halfway point in Pokémon Month, and I think we need a little change of pace. The last two stories I reviewed weren't the best by any means, and it's pretty obvious that there are tons of other horrible Pokémon fanfics out there. I mean, there's almost 100,000 Pokémon stories on this website alone! Who knows who many of these are awful."

"Luckily, Sturgeon's Law states that 10% of these fanfics are worth sifting through the less-than-decent 90%. And I did just that, so you don't have to. Here are two good Pokémon fanfiction authors!"

"First up, we have a little author by the name of Saf Dawnheart. Their work is exquisite, to say the least. In fact, I heard talk that their stories are what got spucubed into fanfiction in the first place."

"Yes, Saf has written works for other fandoms like Kingdom Hearts and Guardians of Ga'Hoole, but we're not here for those, so let's talk Pokémon! These stories feature Legendary Pokémon and their interactions with each other. And yes, make no mistake about it, these are romance fics. I'm usually not a fan of romance, but the writing is well done and the subject matter doesn't make the story a borderline lemon fic, so it gets a pass from me. Here are two fics that I personally recommend from this author:"

Opposites Attract

To be truly and perfectly honest, Cresselia was getting a bit tired of the "opposites attract" stereotype normally associated with her and her fellow Legends. — Darkrai/Cresselia.

Icy Starlight

He had chosen this path to follow, but she had never wanted to share that feeling. — Rayquaza/Kyurem.

"The second author I'm recommending to you is Matthais Unidostres. I've mentioned him several times in my previous review, but I'm certain you all still don't know who he is, so let me tell you a little about him:"

"He's the author of Keldeo the Critic, which stars Keldeo, the Legendary Pokémon who reviews it so you don't have to. He's been doing this for six seasons now, which is way more than any other fanfiction critic I've ever seen. Along with this series, Matthais has worked on several other Pokémon stories, both from the games and the anime. And, boy, does the man have talent! He is easily the biggest inspiration for me. I can't even tell you how much I—"

"Oh, my God, just stop already!" Marx shouted, walking over to Magolor. "Could you just stop talking about this Matthais guy? He doesn't even know you're alive!"

Magolor just raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's the problem? I like the guy, so what?"

"Yeah, but for the past week you've been all, 'Oh, Matthais is the best person ever! I love Matthais! Oh, I want him to father my children!' Frankly, I don't get why you like him so much."

"You wanna know?"

"Yes," Marx blankly replied.

"You really wanna know?"

Marx, hesitating for a moment, answered with a slightly irritated "...Yeah…"

"Marx"

"Yes!"

"Then I'll show you…"
