  • Our "Weird and Wonderful" one-shot contest is now underway! Pokémon are strange and magical creatures, and for our writing contest this year, we want to see you higlight some of their oddest abilities and features! From stories about luxray thieves using X-ray vision to scope out targets to those about trainers bewitching opponents with their stantlers' mystic antlers, any sort of fic featuring a pokémon's unusual lore is welcome! Entries are due at 11:59 PM July 13th UTC.

    Threadmarks: Chapter Six - Feather Trail

    Oops, uh, this took a while. Well, to be fair, I did need to write for The Bringer and my contest oneshot as well, and I got stuck with some doubts about this chapter for a bit, too. But @NebulaDreams , my beta in shining armor, helped me through! Big thanks to him. This chapter has content...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Ten - Doubt

    Two weeks? Yeah, that's fair enough. I do have somewhat of a backlog now, by the way - I'll probably be uploading mostly when I'm motivated. Since I don't believe there are up-to-date readers either way, it probably won't be a problem for anyone. Anyway, here's Chapter 10. Since I estimate this...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Nine - Philosophy

    And we're back. It feels like it's been a while, but apparently it hasn't been much more than a week. Probably has something to do with the fact that I've been having some doubts about the new direction I'm planning (or improvising, in some respects). However, I have freshly also kind of just...

    Thanks for the review! I wish school had taught me anything on this matter, lmao. No, it's more of a me problem. I've been trying to learn my way out of it, but it seems it still slips through sometimes. This was really more of a slip of the thought for Andre. He catches himself right away and...

    Pokémon Unrecoverable (angst week prompt fic)

    Here for catnip! Wow, this was a very potent bite-sized bit of existential horror. I'm a fan of how we get a very positive turn at the beginning (with the Tera charge liberating AI Sada) before turning it around (realizing mortality) and then gradually getting worse (degradation). I also...

    Ah, good catch. I don't run my author's notes through a spell-checker since they're so short, so I suppose a typo like that was bound to crop up sooner or later. It's a play on an existing type of bird known as a tit. They're small songbirds and quite cute. Unfortunate name, though. Well, this...

    The story behind your story's name?

    Time to return with a brand new batch of canisfic names! Kills-Other-Humans: The nickname given by the character Barely-There (a Shuppet) to the protagonist Andre (a human), who is a serial killer. Ghost names in HHverse in general tend to be descriptive phrases joined by hyphens. Batty!: I'm...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Seven - The Stag

    Hi again! This time, we've got the chapter where Red and Andre first meet. The old version of this had a pretty rough scene, which I think I've replaced with a better one here. Content warning for references to sexual assault, transphobia (mostly transmisogyny), misogyny and violence. ---...

    Hi! Time for the (first?) interlude. Rated mature for sexual references. Enjoy! --- INTERLUDE Andre --- “And model, please.” Sakura raises her gaze from her phone and resumes her pose, valiantly staring out the window. Once again, I can perceive a twinge of orange annoyance among the gray...

    Hey! Told you we'd be slowing down. Although this time it's more because I've been distracted by other projects and also decided to get a bit of a backlog before posting. This chapter marks the end of the first arc of the story. There are three in total (at least, I have planned for three)...

    Pokémon Light Drabbling (Drabble Bingo Collection)

    Hey there! Here for Catnip. I read the 2025 drabbles, and here are my thoughts: Wonder Brick: - Works well with its setup and payoff; only problem I had was the "green box within a black framing featured prominently in the upper middle", as that did not give me the image of a screen but rather...

    One-Shot Contest 2025 Theme Poll

    Voted for weird Pokémon lore, hoping it wins. It feels like it allows for many different kinds of stories, which is accessible, while still having a clear metric to judge how well the theme was fulfilled.

    Hi everyone! Been a bit. I've had to do some serious outlining for this story, and while it wasn't easy, I think I do have something to go off of now. Thanks to @NebulaDreams for betareading this chapter. Content warnings for homophobia (including slurs), sexual themes and violence. Enjoy! ---...

    [THIRD PARTY WIN] Odile's 7 Deadly Scumtells Mafia

    "What, over already?" Red said, scratching his neck. "I was having such a fun time killing people. Even if I don't usually prefer to do it by making them explode." [Come on, Red. Be a good sport.] He turned to Odile with a heavy sigh. "Fine, fine. Thank you, Odile, for this game. It wasn't...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Four - Accusations

    Hiiii. This one has the dream sequence from the old one swapped in for another, and more stuff related to Michi tweaked. Otherwise it's pretty much the same as the old one, I think. I swear I'm gonna slow down with these once I start getting into the stuff that's actually seen major changes...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Three - Friend

    I'm on a roll! Here's Chapter Three, another chapter with little changed. Still bettered, though. Content warnings include talk of mental illness, such as depression, but nothing else. Rating is teen. --- CHAPTER THREE Friend --- May 17th, 149 Since my last journal entry, I have visited...
