  • 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! See full details here.

    Threadmarks: Ice 8.4

    There’s a scene that’s a little more graphic than I’m used to writing. Starts with the introduction of Micah the golem. None of it lasts past the next scene break. Ice 8.4: Beyond The Light’s Reach Madeline The first thing you know is the light. The second is agony. Your tentacles recoil in...

    Lanturn (Chinchou) Magnalux wilsonii Overview The deep sea is still poorly understood. The vast majority of it remains unmapped. Our glimpses come mostly from a smattering of submersible trips, the occasional washed-up carcass, and migrants who visit us from the depths. Most deep sea residents...

    Ice 8.3: The Other Me Cuicatl(?) August 8, 2020 Ula’Ula Meadow is supposed to be very nice to hike through. There’s a boardwalk so the path is flat and there’s a nice breeze. The local pokémon are pretty tame—a lot tamer than on the rest of the island. No psychic-resistant bears. And there are...

    Threadmarks: Pyukumuku

    Pyukumuku Mendicus quinonardet Overview Pyukumuku are an iconic feature of Central Pacific beaches, even if they are not always a welcome one. These echinoderms live in the tidal zone. At high tide they engage in a mix of filter feeding and scavenging in the surf. When the tides roll out, the...

    Ice 8.2: The Witness Kekoa August 1, 2020 You’re no stranger to funerals. First there were your grandparents. You can really only remember one of those. It was a very formal thing. You had to get fitted for an itchy black dress that you hated while you listened to lots of people talk and pray...

    [If abstains win or are tied, will there not be a socially condoned murder?]

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

    [As long as we’re killing somebody. It would be a waste to have a sanctioned opportunity to commit murder and then not do it. I could be persuaded to make the ghost die for a second time.]

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

    [The optimal strategy is to identify hostiles and eliminate them. By killing the hybrid we will learn if they were hostile and, if they were, we will have successfully eliminated them.]

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

    You are not opposed to seeing the grovyle die. You are not opposed to any of these targets dying. The minior would be most delicious, but the slugma-hybrid’s sheer impossibility makes the possibility of dissection intriguing. There is already building support for it. [The hybrid is deeply...

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

    Role information downloaded. Optimal strategy devised. [I look forward to exclusively killing people through democratic means, as I have been told to pretend I lack the ability to unilaterally do so.] Nailed it. [Now, who should we kill first?]

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

    [Query: What is the kilocalorie or wattage equivalent or the satiation experienced by induced terror?] Host Entity has appearance of a human female slightly larger than your pet. How curious. Is it more plausible that a human would have the power to host this game or that a pokémon with that...

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

    [Very well.] You abruptly release your hold on the human. How far will she fall into the blood? Will it act like the surface of a body of water or will she hit hard ground underneath? There is science to be done. [Query: “Current” body. Did your previous body consume organic matter and/or...
