Nate's expression darkened as Clink described what had happened the last time they'd seen Keldeo. The only reason no one had died last time they paid the guy a visit was that he had explicitly not skewered anybody when he got the chance. Mightyena padded back over to him, and he rubbed the side...

Nate looked up from the weird crystal, surprised to find a rough-looking lucario staring at him. The guy had straight-up asked him, huh, instead of trying Mightyena? Nate felt like it'd be ages before he remembered he could just up and talk to pokémon while he was here. "Well, tried to escape...

Mightyena wagged mightily while Clink bounced through the air around her, snapping playfully at their keys. "Oh, yeah," Nate said, rubbing ruefully at the back of his neck. "Probably a good idea to take it easy on the parties for a while." That was good, anyway. Considering that what Xavian had...

Speak @ Dark Matter: "Why did we come here, if we're from another world? Were you the one who turned me into a rock?" Consider: We'll leave soon! I just have to know...

Oh, wow! That is a good catch--I never played that part of X/Y, so I never would have gotten the parallel. Verrry interesting... omg. I love this The speculation about us previously having been possessed by DM/its relationship to us being a rock is really interesting. I haven't played Super...

Nate thought that he'd gotten pretty used to completely batshit stuff happening to him--unfortunately. Weird portal thing popping up out of nowhere was new, though. He examined the glowing rings of energy with skepticism. Something about them seemed to be telling him that it was perfectly safe...

Yup, that's a Dark Matter, there. :P Since Weavile wants to run, I imagine we aren't going to be able to stick around for more than another post or two? We can probably suppress his consideration for a little while, but unless DM restrains us itself (which would be bad in its own way, lol), I...

All right, the initial dungeon encounters with Druddigon and Marshtomp went well enough. Let's find out if our good fortune holds up. :copyka: > Blunt honesty: Tell them how little you know, but what you kind of feel. > Telepathy @ Weavile: "I know you want to leave, but I need to know more...

Same hat, really! Two or four seems best to me, and I'm personally thinking I like #2 best. If this entity is related to Dark Matter in some way, I don't think it's going to be fooled by any lie we could come up with, whether that's that we totally know what's going on here or that we're...

Hey, great to see you again! Glad you succumbed to the pokéfic bug again... It's surprisingly hard to quit! And I hope you've been having fun with it. Welcome to Thousand Roads, and I hope you have a great time here!

All right, fingers crossed this isn't a huge mistake! Decision: Regroup with N immediately to flee in case more trouble arrives. Consider: I want to make sure Druddigon gets to safety. Speak @ N: "I'm going to investigate the strange darkness I've been seeing. Do you want to come, or do you...

{GM control? Yes} Trainer Name: Nate Morgan Age: 23 Appearance: Short, broad, angy. Looks like he hasn't had a decent night's sleep in weeks. Personality: Just doing his best, which frequently isn't great. Nate greatly prefers the company of Pokémon to other humans, and his own company most of...

Hokay... here comes the tough one. :unquag: We are, honestly, not looking too bad on resources? Half our energy and HP left, essentially. But we've burned most of our item resources and lost our backup. (Maybe N will agree to accompany us deeper into the dungeon at this point... I don't know.)...

All right, we are looking at a grand total of sixteen entries this year! Thanks to everyone who put in a one-shot--it's a real diverse bunch this year, and I'm sure the judges will have a lot of fun with their reviewing! If you sent in an entry but have NOT heard back from me at this point...

And that is time! Submissions are now closed for this year's one-shot contest. Please give me a couple hours to go through my messages and respond to your entries; I'll be back in a bit with a final entry count and more information about what happens next!

Okay, and here we are at the twenty-four hour mark for contest entries! We've gotten many wonderful entries already, but I'd love to see more! Good luck to all of you still working out there.

hi Dark Matter :copyka: Oof. I had high hopes that we'd be able to KO Druddigon with that triple axle, but thankfully the crackback wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. Hopefully we can take him down this turn without any further surprises. I think we can probably get away without using...

Hello to everyone working on contest entries! We've got a little more than 24 hours to go in the submission period, so I hope your writing is coming along well. I'll be back with an explicit twenty-four-hour warning to try and ensure no one's caught off guard by the end of the writing period...

In-Depth Guidelines What are the content guidelines for this zine? The zine will adhere to TR's standard fiction posting guidelines. For visual art, the guidelines are similar: your artwork should not contain more than minor levels of blood, injury, or violence, and no nudity or sexually...

Magical but Mundane: A Pokémon Fanzine Since our yearly contests already bring together a lot of fanworks on a common theme, I thought it would be fun to expand that idea into a full-on zine! This year's contest entries will provide the zine's backbone, but if you weren't into writing a...
