Love the little clam creature! Definitely seems like there's a lot of fun stuff you can do with cognions, with them taking on such diverse forms to begin with and then the opportunity for them to change further with fusions like these. It'll be fun to meet more of them along the way! It seems...

The Festival of Masks Every year Kitakami celebrates its Festival of Masks, an ancient tradition where villagers don intricate masks and gather to share in good food, games, music, and storytelling. In recent years the festival has attracted visitors from afar, and there's no distinction...

Yooo, happy birthday! Hope it's an awesome one!

November looms once again... will you be writing? If you're not familiar, National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, is a one-month writing challenge taking place in November. Traditionally the goal is to write a 50,000 novel in a month, but you can customize the challenge according to your...

Ooh, I really love the glitchy vaporwave vibes of this! And a little dose of horror, too. Very nice. I enjoy when alien locales really feel properly alien, and a bit dangerous. A rather disorienting beginning to an adventure, which seems appropriate, as this is a rather strange and disorienting...

Yeah, the forum file upload limit is set to 2MB, and the forums also proxy all images, so that restriction applies even to images hosted externally. And it does not give a coherent error message to let people know when size is the problem. =/ If you ever have trouble getting something under the...

Read your Alola Pokédex review, and just wanted to say that I feel this so hard: I may or may not have typed up a couple angry comments about the awful science in these sorts of fics before thinking better of it and deleting. :P

Erazon's got some good questions for you to start off with. Here are some other ones that I often think about when it comes to PMD-like settings: - First, well, what makes it NOT PMD? A quick run-down of where your world differs from the canon would probably help people wrap their heads around...

Seems like we've had a fair few Lat@s fics around here recently, and I'm here for it! There's a lot to explore in the wake of Latios' death, and you really turned up the heat here by having Kanon's grandfather pass away as well. (At least, I think that didn't happen in the movie?) I like the...

Hey, Espy! Glad to see you bringing out your big revision. Didn't realize I missed the first installment, but I'm glad I got in before you got too far along. Congrats on finishing your revisions and getting to the posting phase! I know it was a big project, so it's great to see the fruits of...

Eyyy, this is a super cool idea! I think you did a nice job narrating Kieran's core conflict here. My favorite bits are the reversal of the chorus at the end and the little "(We all know who she'll choose)" in the middle there. Fingers crossed we'll get another song to resolve the kind of bleak...

lmao Camellia's not having any of Eliza's bullshit. Curious if we're going to learn a little more about Breen next page. :eyes: So we've got a delphox founder of Registeel and a chesnaught guildmaster of Regigigas... wonder if we'll see a greninja, soon, and whether they end up being...

I think what normally makes a scene tense is a real sense of stakes--what sort of consequences will there be if something goes wrong here? You want the reader to come to the scene with a strong investment in the outcome, so that they're really rooting for things to go well and will be watching...

On the sign at the Crystal Pool--it says something along the lines of stories having it that people could see visions of departed people in the waters. I'm curious whether it might have something to do with the Loyal Three getting revived... Kieran had Ogrepon's mask at the time he punched the...

And there you have it! That's a wrap for our Aeons and Avatars contest. Once again, a huge shout-out to the winners, the judges, and of course all of the writers who put in time and effort to make this another wonderful one-shot contest. I also hope you, the readers, enjoy sampling some of the...

"Who Really Needs Who" by RJR Basimilus The sky was a sickly ochre, droplets of rain slowly and paradoxically falling upwards from the ocean into the blazing sun. A heavy silence blanketed the stony tower standing tall in its lonely vigil over the waves, a single lonely cloud hovering over the...

"A Wonderful Leaf Boat" by tomatorade Second/Third Place Miraidon Flight If Latios were to close his eyes and rely entirely on his maimed threads of memory, he would have nothing but smears of colour. Those greens for the grass beneath his once-paws, grey, maybe blue, for the sky and one...

"What Life Has to Offer" by MintyMimix How truly infinite the universe was! An endless expanse of cobalt and crimson forged the lands before Ena as her mind’s eye opened. A curious chirp escaped her maw, and her spiny, skeletal form reticulated as she looked up for the first time. Floating...

"The Way to a Legend" by Xeth Night. Many would describe it as darkness, something negative. Yet, in my current situation – even with the freezing temperatures and endless snow in this ice desert – I couldn’t help but marvel at the glittering night sky above me. The night is never truly dark...

"Wabi-Sabi" by Cresselia92 Fennel Valley, north of Kanto. Nighttime. In a dimly lit room of the mansion by the Fennel Lake, Dr. Karl Yung was running the last few calculations for his latest and most ambitious invention. With his glasses illuminated by the giant monitor of his computer, the...
