    Pokémon Once a Thief

    ...Always a Protag. Or so I've heard the saying goes. This review is part of a review cycle so that I can keep enough silverware sane that I can still eat cake. As such, Lyle has been CHOSEN!!!! To be pulled out of his little post-Outlaw comfort life and back into the demands of screentime...

    Feedback wanted: Pilot Episodes

    Hello everyone. I've been wondering, as a writer in the last time I've been strongly focused on oneshots, in the best case something like miniseries-style two-parters. Not that that's bad, I mean it seems to work. *But*. At some point, you just need to tell a bigger story, right? The thing is...

    Pokémon A Case of Winging it [preliminary]

    Greetings everyone! This is an older story I posted for a contest and by popular request I've decided to bring it to this site as well. It's about a bird doing what he can without the aid from Social Services. A fair warning, since this was originally written under contest constraints, some...

    FYC: More typographical effects in BBcode; render fixes

    Hello everyone, here with a few requests. Currently the page on BBcode codes (https://forums.thousandroads.net/index.php?help/bb-codes/) lists the codes that are supported. However, a few codes are not working correctly (in particular for the print preview or Save As... renders) and a few other...

    Pokémon Dangerous Upgrade [GtI]
    Threadmarks: Act Ⅰ-Ⅱ

    Hello everyone, I'm here with a new story about a game that deserves more love. That's right: some more new content for the average Gates to Infinity enjoyer! This is yet another "Special Episode" of sorts that I have been working on for a good while and has had quite an... accidented...

    Pokémon Foregone Conclusion

    I didn't expect this story to be here and, well, I know it's long done and finished but I wanted to say a few things about it. The story is good... goodly sad. It's solidly crafted, with practical foundations for why things are going the way they are for both "sides" of the species involved...

    present competition, 6/31/2022 to 7/1/2022

    I'm admittedly still trying to solve if I might be able to enter or not, since I have only one (1) (una) idea and it's kind of a dangerous and complex one, in terms of presentation. Admittedly the contest is not my priority, at least not with the selected theme. I already have issues with two...

    Mischief and Malice One-Shot Contest

    Wanted to ask for a more precise rundown of if a story I'm planning would be allowed, but I can't find a PM option in the forum, only public conversations. Just to advance a bit on the subject, I wanted to ask what is the staff's position on stories that strongly lean on IRL events, in...

    Pokémon Forever Catch [two-shot]
    Threadmarks: 2/2

    Hello everyone. Over a week delayed for the intended cross-post, but here it is, part numero 2 and final of the story about Deer Getting Things Wrong™. Before anything else tho, a few words from our sponsor reviewer, Adamhuarts: To be fair, Manectric have one of the best rawrs :p Just imagine...

    Xenofiction, Thoughts, Approaches, Styles, Worldbuilding, Etc

    Given the title of the thread, you could have fooled me! :unquag: Anyway, I thought I'd participate since most of what I write is Pokémon-centric with a side dish of hooman in it. Reading through the thread gave me a few impressions and stuff, but there's a lot of stuff going on and not much of...

    How much of the real world do you use in your fics?

    DID ANYONE SAY WORLDBUILDING? I could speak at length on how I do it but 1.- it's mostly meta since I dont have that much published material 2.- it's usually covered in the wiki and 3.- better to make some talk around here. So I hope y'all don't mind if I tackle this piecewise, although I'll...

    Animals in PMD stories

    I don't see any good reason to not just have normal animals in a PMD world. Not only do they have normal plants already (unless you want to be the xenofiction hard-ass one who does their world's trees non-IRL "non-trees"), but since in most interpretations of the setting PMD is already a...

    lol Discord went down again what's up

    Fortunately other services exist (I help maintain Jabber infrastructures in two communities, plus the company one). Also, I take it fortunately the forum minichat (with the status thingies) did not bork?

    Pokémon Weaversong

    ATTENTION NETIZEN YOU HAVE BEEN RANDOMLY SELECTED FOR A CUSTOMS REVIEW Continuing from the review of last time, because sure there's more to say about it! Boy don't we love to talk about it when the cosmic powers get it RRRRRRRONG. And as a result our hiro has to spend the first few scenes in...

    Pokémon Shining Pearl Snippets

    I've mentioned before in some other places as well how Ea-Nasir is one of the best things in this story, so I'm going to mention it again: Ea-Nasir is one of the best things in this story. You friggin' took one of the essentially longest-living memes ever, even if it went for a long time...

    Pokémon Beyond Today [PMD] [OS]

    Per popular request, I'm crossposting one of my award-winning one-shots to this community since it's admittedly been stuck at PC and AO3 for a while. As such, for your consideration: "Beyond Today", also my first foray into the world of PMD writing. This was originally posted in 2018 for...
