Hello Thousand Roads! I've done some very light scouting as a lurker and you guys seem like a really cool nice group of folks!
My user name is based off of my GameFaqs account which was made back in 2007. I tend to go by my gamer name Armads online though, so feel free to call me that or by my user name.
What let me to create an account here seems pretty crazy to me: I accidentally wrote a 50,000+ fanfiction for the Pokemon Trading Card Game 2 for Gameboy Color having never written a fanfiction before!
It started as a mini-lets-play in written form. What began as adding some amusing dialogue here and there soon started shaping and evolving into a story with various sub-plots. The more I wrote, the more the story unfolded itself to me in ridiculous ways that just worked despite at least 85% of it being total improvisation written in 1 week. As I wrote, I didn't even feel like I was writing it. It just felt like it was writing itself and the characters were just doing what they wanted in response to the story. No idea if that kind of thing in fanfiction or writing in general is common or not. The story has an introduction as well as a Prologue and 13 Chapters.
What brings me here is that I would really like a place to post it and maybe even for someone to read it. Feedback of any kind would be the holy grail but I have very low expectations. I'm not really into the mainline Pokemon games anymore either and I stopped back in Pearl but I have played the trading card games every now and then. As such, its kind of hard for me to find a fanfiction I would enjoy reading and reviewing of someone else's. I'd be open to suggestion though!
So, here's hoping there will be someone kind enough to read even part of my fanfiction and maybe even comment on it!

Welcome to the forums! That's an awesome story--accidentally popping out 50k words is no mean feat. Sounds like you had a lovely time writing it, too; sometimes it feels like the characters do their own thing and the story writes itself, but that's definitely not a universal experience. Congrats on getting it finished, above all else! That's something else that doesn't always happen with fanfic, heh.
Unfortunately I don't think we have any other TCG fic specifically around here, but if there are genres you enjoy in non-fanfic reading, there might be something you'd enjoy that has similar elements. Regardless, I can't guarantee feedback, but I'll do my best to check your story out. You've got me intrigued!
Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads.

Thanks for the warm welcome Negrek! This kind of behavior is a big part of why I decided to join up here.
50k felt huge to me but when I look around on here I quickly realize just how small it is to some of the stuff people have been posting! I guess it makes sense though if someone is writing the same fic for over a decade or something!
I had a blast writing it. Sunk all my free time into it and even found myself daydreaming about it when I wasn't able to write!
I like the close nit feel of this place and how it specializes in Pokemon mostly. I feel like if my story is able to get feedback anywhere, its probably here.
I realize there isn't going to be any other TCG fics and I am certainly capable of enjoying a mainline Pokemon fanfic, so if anyone is open for review trading with me, just let me know. I'm not experienced in reviews but I'm willing to give my total attention and feedback capabilities to anything I commit to reading.

Heyo! i adore pmd! and ive been trying to write a fanfic for a while, but with so many ideas and characters to fill a doc but not a character sheet. im left with messy chapter ideas. And full fledged outlines of writing projects I abandoned! I love watching from hacks video, love food and ghost pokemons <3 And I also gotta love sylveon and kadabra too ^^ From my user that might change I adore gengar and cofagrigus, cofagrigus is a more recent favorite, beginning to appreciate them a lot more

Welcome to the forums! Ghost pokémon are great; my favorite is probably runerigus, but the og cofagrigus is great, too! If you need help or motivation to work on your story ideas, feel free to start a thread about it here on the forums. Best of luck getting your story out there! Always love to see a new PMD fic.
Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads!

Hey, welcome to the forums! Glad you've been getting back into writing again; it's always nice to get back into an old hobby. I took a peek at your fic--I don't know how you feel about fakemon or if you're interested in other people's worldbuilding, but if an Egypt-inspired Pokémon region with fakemon sounds fun to you, you really ought to check out Nesubi!
In any case, congratulations on getting back into PMD fic, and I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads!

After a huge while, I'm back! I never really got into the site the first time, but I'm diving into it again. No idea if I already did an intro (checked using "who replied" but I'm still not completely sure), but...uh...I like Pokerogue??? My main go to for that game are toxapex and wishiwashi so I have a huge weakness to grass and the like. (>0< Curse you, ferrothorn!) I'm still kind of learning the ropes here-I'm waaaayyyy too used to either classics or manga so I'm rather struggling to try and emulate the styles and the things are turning cheesy. I do like the other stories on here though. :)

It's nice to see a fellow Pokerouge fan, I recently beat the game for the first time! I like to use Skeledirge or Zacian in that game since they're pretty overpowered

Zacian? I'm still trying to get a legendary (I have 5 shinies, 3 mythicals, and 3 HA pokemon but no legendary XD), but I'll try getting it. Thanks for the tip!
Nothing wrong with a reintro, whether you've posted here before or not. Welcome back! Glad you've been enjoying the stories here. I'm unfortunately not familiar with Pokérogue, so not much I can say about that--glad there are other fans here for you to talk to, though!
Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads!

Hi! I was on the hunt to find a space for Pokémon fic writers and was so excited to find this! My name is Redenne (can go by Ree, Nene, or Red) I'm relatively new to writing fics, as I started at the end of 2023, but I've been into roleplaying Pokémon for muchhhh longer! I am a big fan of the game-verse trainers, like the protags and rivals and Gym Leaders etc. so that's what I usually like to write. My dream fanfic to write is one of my mega rare pair that has no fics yet ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯ but for now I'm working on my Reguri fic series.
Other things... I like drawing and crafting! And some of my fave Pokémon are Oshawott, Shinx, Dedenne, and Spheal!!
I look forward to having fun with the community here <3

Hi! I've been somewhat interested in rp stuff for a while (about a year ish since I first uhh started) im not super good and stuff but hi
Welcome to the forums! I know you've already met a lot of other people who enjoy writing gameverse characters; hope you've enjoyed getting to know them a bit! I'm really curious what your mega-rare pairings are; are there any in particular you dream of writing fic for?
Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads!
Welcome to the forums! As I think you've seen, we don't always have much in the way of RP stuff going on, although I'd expect to see something later this year. In the meantime, glad you've been doing some writing. Welcome again!

Thanks so much!! Yes, I've definitely enjoyed my time here so far, everyone's been really nice.
The rare pair I meant in my intro post is a pairing between the rivals Hugh and Silver! I've been calling it Vengefulrivalshipping because an RP partner of mine found that name listed in a forum somewhere - but it has no fics on AO3 or FF.net, and next to no artwork besides mine. (I also came up with a shorter ship name which is HyuShiru, taking from their Japanese names/spellings similar to ReGuri.)
I realized their narrative parallels and potential chemistry through RP roughly over 6 years ago and then it was all over for me looool they really inspired me artistically. I want the fic I write of them to be special ;v; but it's still in brainstorming stages.

Sounds pretty interesting! While I don't have much knowledge about Hugh due to not having played Gen 5, it does sound like a cool ship!Thanks so much!! Yes, I've definitely enjoyed my time here so far, everyone's been really nice.

That makes me so happy to hear you have no idea
💙 !! I feel like I could go on a big ramble about them but this may not be the right place to do so lol, but I hope that by writing fics for them I can show why I like them so much and that the joy in it will be contagious, and ofc I'll share them here (btw gen 5 is soooo good, would totally recommend)
