Proof that we need to review more. Because if Yami, after being gone for a month, is still the most meticulous reviewer she's seen? We're doing something wrong.
(As a side note, I've always wanted her to review me too ... just because it would be lulz.)
She reviewed one of my newer one-shots ("One Day" I think). The reviewers for that story are odd, actually, because Scrap (can't remember her current name) reviewed it too and I don't think she's been posting for a long, long time.
Iota is pretty friendly with Yami, though, and, as annoying as it is to us, Yami is/was the most active reviewer. I can think of several meticulous reviewers (you included bwahaha), but Yami's name circulates more around the forums.
'Tis annoying.

Scrap's called Kiyohime, I believe, and I think I saw that story ... was that the one about the mother's reflection on her's son's impending journey?
I have to keep up on Yami's friends. >.>; I tend to assume semi-decent writers are smart enough not to be taken in ... then again, Iota annoyed me with her rewrite of the anime in the way she randomly changed things just because she felt she knew better (like Ash's mother's name. Randomly changed because she liked 'Delilah' or whatever it was better than 'Delia'. wtf. Or, IIRC, Ash's not getting up late. And to think I was initially vaguely interested because it would be a more 'realistic' take on the anime ... nope, turns out it was more of an excuse to just change what she wanted.)
Alas, yes, the reason we we need to review more often. ._. (Also shank joo and back atcha. X3)

Omg! Haha, I was going to bitch about that too but I didn't really read enough to sufficiently bitch. I never understood why she had to change the name. I honestly thought she typoed and when someone pointed that out, she was too lazy to change it.

I didn't really read enough to sufficiently bitch either, tbh, although I did feel tempted to review to do so. XD I just read her author's notes, skimmed it, skimmed her reviews. I thought she'd typoed too until someone pointed it out--but IIRC her response was 'I think my name suits her better', rather than just outright forgetting. Although that reminds me that I once read a (non-pokemon) fic where the author couldn't find the first name for one of the characters, gave him her own, and when someone told her the name still chose not to change it even though she'd only written one chapter and it's not like it would've been difficult ... seriously, wtf. /tangent

Yay caps. I remembered when you and BNB were talking about her not laughing, haha. It was that one crack parody about all the new changes the anime was going through and the lack of creativity for the new pokemon coming out, and she reviewed it.
And I quote:
To be honest, what humor is in there.. is lost in you basically making a statement of you hate the anime, and some of the pokemon- fine, hate them, don't use them, don't watch the anime. Yes people have a write to complain- but wasting space with a statement of a fic ( ... )
