"GOLD!" by tomatorade One morning, when he was very young, Ringo’s father became obsessed. He had his box of trinkets out and spilled on the floor of the sitting room. As an old flareon, he was a tumbleweed of white fur and red fur so dull it appeared white, and he seemed an ugly tumour...

"Gathering Moss" by NebulaDreams First Place Pikachu Flight Latte art is one of many human novelties I have yet to find the purpose of. Milk is poured at exactly the right angle to draw a heart or Pokémon in coffee foam, which is appreciated for ten seconds, then destroyed with one sip. I have...

"The First Red Dawn" by EonDuoLatias The chill of the autumn night seeped into my bones, as the pitter-patter of the heavy rain and crashing thunder echoed throughout my tent. I lay there, my tail curled up around my legs and body, my eyes closed but my heart racing, as I waited for the return...

"Engineering Harmony" by JFought First Place Eevee Flight The wind whistled through the plains, rustling through tightly-packed grasses and the leaves of stray trees. The flapping of wings overhead signified the return of birds from the south, calling noisily to each other as they spoke of new...

"Day by Day" by Windskull Second Place Pikachu Flight Hot Season, Moon 2, Day 10 Dear Diary, That's what I'm supposed to say when I start one of these, right? That's what it says when it comes up in one of my books. But if I'm being honest, it just looks tacky to me. I don't know why I'm...

"A Day at Lawrence Pokémon Sanctuary" by canisaries The name of Isle Silent was most likely given ironically. Only two miles across, the rushing of the sea’s waves was audible in any part of the island, complemented by the wind in the leaves of its sugar maples and yellow birches. At least the...

"The Cost of Paint" by The Walrein Tess Smeargle looked intently at the calendar glued to her wall. All around it, intricate designs were carved into the glass-smooth stone, the work of sculptors with hundreds or thousands of years’ experience. Something she’d never be able to match even if...

"A Change of Perspective" by Sinderella Shoulders back. Straight gait. Hair gelled, deeeeeeeeeefintely uses Dior cologne because he’s trying to smell more pristine than he is. Can see a tattoo poking out from under his cuff, does he have a sleeve? That’s a dress code violation. Naughty...

"The Blur" by WindsweptCity Ricky groaned as his alarm rang. He groped out blindly at the Chingling shaped device, eventually managing to grab hold of it and switch the annoying thing off. Even after a few years, he struggled to stick to a set work schedule. Stretching and cracking as many...

Magical but Mundane Contest Entries "The Blur" by WindsweptCity I'd describe this as the story behind a story. Even as Kyogre is threatening to drown the world, life goes on for the main characters, who are trying to solve a puzzling mystery. It's going to take a lot of hard work, long...

Magical but Mundane One-Shot Contest Results It's time at last to share the results of Thousand Roads' fifth one-shot contest! We ended up with sixteen lovely stories of daily life, and despite the "mundane" in the contest title, I think you'll find them anything but boring! There are a lot of...

Happy birthday! Hope you have a great one.

Welp, that's scary. :) I quite enjoy the description of Yveltal in this post. Sounds like we're going to die no matter what, but depending on how we respond it may influence our abilities going forward? We'll see how this goes... > I still remember the world I was fighting for, and all the...

All right, I'm here with what will be the final progress update before the posting of results! At this point all judges but one have sent in their reviews and rankings, so I'm expecting that results will be posted by the end of next week at the latest. I've sent out a set of optional interview...

Welcome to the forums! As an eternal fan of weird one-shots, I'm always happy to see someone bringing more to the table! I love me a steelix, so I'll have to take a look at that story of yours when I can. Let me know if you're looking for other weird one-shots to peruse; I have a great time...

[[ We love a good open-ended prompt! >:) Very curious to see how our choices here might end up affecting things. And it's interesting to meet the real Yveltal here, after all the build-up. I wonder whether he's going to end up helping or hindering us in the end. Love your little Minccino...

Fantastic! Thanks to everyone who signed up for our first zine; I think it’s going to turn out amazing. I also have to apologize for the radio silence some of you have received regarding this project; rl concerns have been keeping me much scarcer than I would like recently, and I’m currently out...

I think Dark Matter would be very offended to hear you say that! He never said we weren't part of Yveltal, after all... only that we weren't the bird himself. I think that guy does a lot of not-technically-lying. Eyes emoji indeed! I am really curious to find out exactly what's going on with...

I am pretty neutral on number of named characters. I do think that stories with large ensemble casts are relatively more difficult to do well, because it's often hard for authors to make a very large number of characters interesting, distinct, and memorable. Since a lot of PMD fics follow the...

Our second to last power-up opportunity, hmm. Once again I think I'm on the side of taking HP/def rather than Energy/atk here, simply because it seems like we want SOME durability? The boost has been getting larger each time we have the opportunity to boost stats, so I'm thinking we could take...
