November 7th - A Mysterious Stranger "Ahaha, impressive!" Hala booms when his crabrawler finally gives up the fight. "Very impressive! That's the kind of battling I like to see!" And so your first Grand Trial ends, with cheering from the crowd and Hala's booming laughter. "You're eager to be on...

Nice, glad to see you jumping in, Namohysip, and congrats to the rest of you for keeping up! I actually did the crawl yesterday but was too lazy to post, so here we are: 165 words while talking to Ilima With my word count at exactly 7400 I had to write 380 words to get past the totem 149 words...

Ohh, nice! Some real sweet word counts there. Hope you're ready for part two! November 4th - New Friends Those Team Skull grunts are no match for you! Your pokémon take theirs down in only a few minutes, and with their yungoos fainted the grunts suddenly seem a lot less tough. "Yo, no fair!"...

Nice! So much for Team Skull, eh? It's about time I get around to my own crawl! I'll pick litten to start, and I wrote 434 words in my back-to-back word sprint, so I'll catch a grubbin to go with. 1550 words all told. Total this post: 1550 Overall total: 1550 Team thus far: I'll post the...

The first post of our November word crawl is up! And now I need to finish the advertising post for it, do my actual words for today, and then wrap up Treat or Treat. The end of October/beginning of November are literally The Worst. It's awkward because I'm going to be writing partially longhand...

Ah, sorry, I didn't see this earlier! I've already started sending people their filled goody bags, so it's probably too late to add more treats now. Sorry about that. I'll give more time for this event in the future... I think in general it ended up being too cramped, and having some additional...

Hello and welcome to the Thousand Roads' second word crawl! We played a smaller crawl during Camp NaNo in July, but for the November event we're going on a full pokémon journey! Also unlike the previous crawl, this one has writing challenges only. If you aren't familiar, a word crawl is a game...

Yes! I've added you to the first post. I don't think we really want to sign up more people after this, though, since there's not a lot of time for anyone to treat them. If there are more people who'd like to sign up, or if people think they're going to have trouble getting their treats in on...

Added you both. I love these custom bags! For anyone interested in sending treats, you have about eight more hours to get them to me. I'm going to be doing the final collection and distribution tonight!

Added you three, with special props to qva for appropriate abuse of the custom bag option!

Ah ha, the new web site... I'm not a huge fan, and while the old one could have used a fresh coat of paint, I think they might have gone too far the other way with the redesign. But I'm guessing the code on the old site was probably a horrifying behind-the-scenes mess, so I can understand why...

Umbramatic, DawningWinds, and NebulaDreams are all signed up! You can send as many treats as you want, and I'll distribute them to anybody who does sign up out of the people you treated! If you then wanted to get your messages to anyone who didn't end up signing up through a different channel...

Nice, another chapter! I'm going to have to catch up before I get truly, hideously behind. Chapter 3 Oh man is someone ever in for an unwelcome adventure! It's neat how excited Haru is about getting into the family business, though; it's pretty rare to see a PMD protagonist with ambitions...

Hmm, an AXSIS VR device. I bet that doesn't do weird things to your brain with repeated usage or anything. Oh man, there's so much I want to check out here. For one, I wonder if there's anything interesting in that saved mail folder. > Open archived mail And also... I would feel guilty about...

NaNoWriMo's right around the corner! Who's planning to participate, and what are you going to work on? This year I'm going to be working on the same thing I have for the past several years, my main chapterfic, Salvage. I had hoped to finish it for NaNo last year, but then instead of doing that...

Treat or Treat 2019 No tricks here! As October winds down, with the prospect of shorter days, NaNoWriMo, and the holidays looming, let's take some time to relax and have a bit of Halloween fun! Treat or Treat is a casual story feedback event that's quick and low-stress, with the primary goal of...

I recently spilled way too many words about why pokéball shelves are bad, which got me thinking... Have you ever accidentally screwed up your own worldbuilding? Are there elements of the pokémon canon you find it really hard to write around? Or are there problems you've seen in other stories...

Hey, welcome to the forums! I actually haven't read an alternate Ash story before, so it will be fun to follow along with this one. I'm curious to see how different it'll feel from a standard OC trainerfic. You mentioned a couple of times that this chapter is a lot of setup/worldbuilding kind...
