  • 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.

    Intro Thread

    That's really cool! You're right, I don't think I've seen any stories about Hugh/Silver before, but they definitely have a lot of interesting similarities. I can see how it would be fun to bounce two stubborn and hot-headed characters off each other like that. I see you've posted a story about...

    Weird and Wonderful One-Shot Contest

    I'm not sure what you mean by "prize"... I'm guessing you're asking whether megas/mega lore can be the primary subjects of your story? If so, yes, and likewise legendary/godly pokémon. You are welcome to seek help from beta readers, here or off-site, as long as they aren't also judges. Your...

    Weird and Wonderful One-Shot Contest

    Please don't do this until after the judging is complete and the authors of various fics are known. We want to keep the stories anonymous until the reveal, and making who wrote for what species public gets rid of a lot of that anonymity.

    Hide thread from new threads list?

    Ah. No, there's no way to stop a post from showing up there.

    Hide thread from new threads list?

    When you say "new posts list," do you mean the "Latest posts" widget on the front page of the forums?

    One-Shot Contest 2025 Theme Poll

    You actually send it to me directly! We ask that people not publish their entries until after the judging period concludes, to preserve the anonymity of the contest. Once the judging is over, though, you can feel free to post a thread in the Fanfiction forum! And if you would like more details...

    One-Shot Contest: Weird and Wonderful Gothitelle knows when its trainer's going to die? Iron Valiant is a mortally-wounded athlete made a cyborg to survive? Grimer arose due to X-rays from the moon? Pokémon are strange and mysterious creatures, but some of them are much stranger than others...

    One-Shot Contest 2025 Theme Poll

    Unfortunately you can't change your vote after it's been cast, sorry. In the past it's gotten chaotic with people moving votes around to try and break ties, so for this year I turned that option off.

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

    Thanks for running this one, Sind! It's a pity the game ended right when it felt like things were really starting to cook, but this feels like a fitting end for a bastard game. I had a lot of fun watching the game unfold!

    There'll be some visual changes. Nothing too dramatic, though, I think.

    How to Fix Backspace Bug in Editor

    Ah, thanks for posting about this! I'm glad you were able to find a workaround. It looks as though this issue is supposed to be fixed in the next version of the forum software, which I should hopefully have up and running in the next couple months. Sorry this has been causing you so many problems!
