14th of May 2026 update: Hey all! I've decided to turn this fic from a "concept fic" to just a regular fic to be less confusing. It does mean I won't be able to treat this as freeform as before, but it's not honestly like I utilized that to begin with.
If you're new here and wondering what this...
Hey all! I'm here with a new oneshot. This oneshot is an exercise I wanted to do to finally get something to write after a longer drought (and sorta not wanting to write The Bringer too much right now since it's being a downer). It's a story that covers an existing scene from Hunter, Haunted...
Hey all! This is that "malamarfic" that I've been talking about in the Discord. I know I said that I'd post it tomorrow, but I realized that I actually wanted to make my Blitz self-promotion post as soon as possible, and for that, it would be better if I had the link to this thread.
With that...
Hey all! As the results for the 2025 oneshot contest have been posted, I'm free to upload my own entry. It also happened to win second place in one of the two tracks, which is the highest I've ever placed, only having placed once before in third place in 2022. Thank you so much, and...

Oookay, so, what's the deal? A new thread for The Bringer? What am I, rebooting it?
Well, yeah.
Let me explain my reasons inside this spoiler so that the people who are just newly coming into this don't have to read (as big of) a wall of text:
So, here we are. I'm going to be posting a...
Hey there! This is a short horror story that I started writing a bit ago and have now edited to a finalized (for now) state. Thanks to @NebulaDreams for betareading!
As a horror story and something written by me, there are naturally going to be content warnings. They are the following:
Blood...
Hey all! I'm here today to ramble about the monster design in Pokémon - more specifically, the patterns I have noticed in Pokémon monster designs, general character design principles and what I myself have put into use in the design of characters for my own Pokémon-like game, Beasts of Auralia...
So, here we are. Over seven years from the upload of the original Hunter, Haunted on Bulbagarden Forums and over four since it was first uploaded here on Thousand Roads. There have been lots of laughs and lots of tears, a little anger as well, some hunger, some thirst, some itches at the back of...

Hey there! This is a story that's an AU of my characters from Hunter, Haunted and its sequel The Bringer. However, this is entirely original fiction with no Pokémon to be seen. No knowledge of HH or its sequel is necessary as I have written this to work as a standalone (though it may be made...
Hey there! The results of the 2024 Oneshot Contest, its theme "Magical but Mundane", are up, so posting the entries to the forum is fair game. This was my entry. I don't think it's among the better stuff I've written, but it seems that the judges liked it. I do also like it myself, just maybe...
edit: this thread will now include bingos from the sixth anniversary as well (2025), and presumably future ones after that.

hi! these are my drabbles for the fifth anniversary bingo! i specifically made myself take the challenge to practice casual, less-than-perfect writing, so they may be...
EDIT (Dec 14 2024): This story was cancelled and its ending left unwritten. However, a summary of the intended ending is supplied at the end of the second part. You can still read this story, and I would appreciate that, especially if you comment, but the ending will likely never actually be...
Hey there! It's me, Canis, back with another thread, this time for drabbles and low-effort oneshots. Now, historically, I have not been a drabble person, but I've been thinking, and it seems like some shortform writing exercises with less worry about quality is what I need. It's entirely...
Hey there! This is a story I've been working on since October. I'm having some doubts about whether it's worth finishing, so I would really appreciate some feedback, specifically on whether or not you feel for the protagonist and want him to succeed, and if not, what could help change that...
Alright, so, hi. I was not actually intending on posting this story in parts but as one long oneshot, but today I started wondering if I actually should finish it to begin with. What started as a comedy turned into a children's cartoon level drama and I am not happy with it, but I have sunk 6500...
Hey all! This is kind of a worldbuilding doc for HHverse that I made for myself to flesh out the world and the faiths within it. The plan is that each post will either be about one region or about several regions that are closely tied together. The first one is pretty long, but the rest of them...
Hello everyone! The results of the 2023 Oneshots Contest are finally out, so I can post my little entry, too. I wrote it in just two days (iirc) because I couldn't come up with anything for the Legendary POV prompt before that, and even now it's questionable since I wrote about Spiritomb and...
hello! this is that "pmd cop fic" i have been talking about on the discord. i'd been thinking about zoroark and watching a lot of rookie and this was kind of born from those. big thanks to @Ambyssin for betareading this one! your input was very valuable.
this story is kind of teetering on the...
Hey all! This is that mystery dungeon -centric PMD oneshot I've been talking about. It's my first time writing an actual mystery dungeon, and I hope I did the concept justice. Special thanks to @GumPlum for betareading this! His insights were really valuable.

Hey everyone! Here we finally are. This story's been in the works for a good five years, but I just haven't been able to plan it out... until now.
For those unaware, this is the...
