A Link With the Name of the Thread: Dancing with the Wind and Fairies
What did you enjoy most about this thread?: I have to admit, I am, at my core, a deep fan of Melrath so I cannot express how excited I was when I received this thread as my first to review during my reviewer application/trial. Seeing how Jasper's writer took a character deeply inspired by Melrath lore and having them continue to bring those beliefs and ways to someplace completely different like Scalvoris was an absolute treat to read. Jasper's concept and his writer's clear perspective on the character is apparent throughout the thread and it's always a joy seeing a character's true convictions play out. Seeing Jasper go through the motions of connecting to this new place on a spiritual level was lovely and well written and a topic I particularly enjoy reading, especially when done as well and with the sort of respect to not only the character but also both Melrath and Scalvoris lore. The addition of the fairies and their natural mischief only made the thread that much more fun. I definitely recommend to those interested in either of these cities' lore or those who just want a fun read. Thank you, Fate, for sharing it with us!

What did you enjoy most about this thread?: I think what I like about this thread was how it brought both characters a little out of their comfort zone. I'm not quite sure if Faith has a comfort zone to be honest, but I feel like she was very challenged by Elisabeth, from getting gifted some baked goods (something that never happens to Faith) to answering difficult questions about mage pregnancies.
Elisabeth had the intriguing question for the ages, about mage pregnancy. It was a very out of left-field question that anyone let alone a great doctor would have their hands fulll trying to answer.
Great thread overall, and it didn't hurt that there was some interesting lore revelations here.

What did you enjoy most about this thread?: I said it in the review and I think it is worth saying again, but I really enjoyed the way that Pyrre portrayed the relationship between his characters. This thread felt very connected to the story-world around it and while not much happened, it highlighted how people from different backgrounds can become good friends. I also admit, I enjoy most things in Almund so the references to other locations in the city did give it a bit of an edge. It was a simple, but very fun to read thread.

A Link With the Name of the Thread: Winston Miller and the Saucerer's Scone
What did you enjoy most about this thread?: Punny title aside, I think this thread really revitalized my character Kisaik's passion for alchemy, which had fallen by the wayside for a few arcs since he'd gotten it in his head to become a knightly fellow.
Winston Miller is a great lab partner, highly recommend anyone into crafting collaborating with this Ferret cadouri. I'm pleased that he humored my weird approach to alchemy!

A Link With the Name of the Thread: Craft of Dreams: Vega (1/2)
What did you enjoy most about this thread?: I just enjoy Vega
But seriously, although it's short to start, and part of a global which involves at least a dozen threads by different players and characters, Vega has taken what could've been a simple one and done entry and really brought it to life for me, allowing me to indulge in some wacky ensorcelled invention that Teq devised in order for her to contact (a sci-fi-like holographic projector, using a mirage stone).
It is great fun so far, not concluded yet but stay tuned!
