Quick post because I’ve gotta run… Special Action: Enervate @ Arcanine Consider: What’s in my bag?

Welcome to the forums! Always fun to see people pop up who’ve been writing since way back. I look forward to seeing your short stories! Feel free to pop in anytime and see what’s going on, and let me know if you’d like any recs for stories to read! Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time...

I’m neutral on this. Can see arguments for keeping or moving it. FWIW, Fic Discussion can also cover original works, so that specifically doesn’t seem like a big reason to keep the thread out of this section. Basically going to hang out and see what others’ opinions are. If it seems people want...

Well then. :copyka: I’m torn on trying to fight it out here. I definitely want to see whether clearing those blobs off someone brings them back to their senses, but there would be easier targets for doing so than the Arcanine. On the other hand, she’d probably be the most helpful to us once...

Yes, as long as the setting is recognizable as related to existing depictions of the Pokémon World.

One-Shot Contest: Magical but Mundane The Pokémon World is a place of adventure, full of legendary heroes, outlandish villains, and world-ending threats. However, it’s also full of people living peaceful lives: spending their days at work or school, keeping up with their hobbies, and taking for...

Okay, I don't want to stall things out any longer. Mirage, feel free to send contradictory actions, or post something in the discussion thread, and I can edit mine later if necessary! But for now, I think I'll go with this. > Take the recently-trodden path > Special Action - Speak (N): "I...

All right, the vote is now closed, and ultimately Daily Life in the Pokémon World is a narrow victor at 27 votes! The official contest thread will be up later today; good luck, everyone, and I hope you enjoy writing for this year's theme!

Hello, everyone! After discussing with HelloYellow, we decided that since there are several people who've expressed interest in participating but who won't be able to make the deadline for this event, we will be extending the deadline by one week! Please get your entries in by 11:59 PM UTC June...

Thanks so much for volunteering, Kandykorn and lisia! I'll reach out to you about judging shortly. And with that, we've reached the final countdown to determine our theme for this year, and the race remains red hot! Be sure to cast your vote if you haven't already; it's still anyone's guess...

Hmmmmf. It's tricky. Certainly true that we have an advantage over Druddigon here, and hopefully we could take him in a straight fight or run away with necessary, but I feel like approaching him here doesn't leave us with a great exit strategy. Like, I can't imagine after we introduce ourselves...

Thanks to everyone who's cast a vote so far! It's been a close race the entire time, and we're tied up again at the moment--be sure to get your vote in if you haven't already. If we end in a tie, it's the randomizer who gets to decide our final theme! Also, a brief reminder that I am looking...

These are really great! Props for keeping everything to 100 words, and for going for all four corners! The last two, in particular, are super intriguing. Not sure whether Felipe's eventually going to intersect with the Way Out canon somehow, but this is a fun tease either way. Whatever he's...

Oho, this is NOT the direction I expected you'd take the "blood pact" prompt. :eyes: Really fun to see the tables turned on Odile here. It's so rare for her to be able to admit to anything like caring or affection (I mean, tbf, that would just be bad for her image!), so it's a lot of fun to...

Hmm, what are we thinking here? Under ordinary circumstances I'd be inclined to help Druddigon, tbh... but given that he's immortal, and getting close to him might cause us problems with Weavile, that doesn't seem super advisable. On the other hand, it's not going to ingratiate us with Weavile...

All right, at this point I've gotten all the forum companions out--please let me know if I managed to miss yours! Most of the anniversary events are over, but as a reminder, the banner collab will be accepting submissions through the end of the week. Make sure to get those in if you haven't...

Same to you, buddy. :P N the zoroark pretending to be a human... I'm definitely also curious whether there ever was a human N in this world at all, heh. I'm also curious about reshiram/zekrom, since N would be one of the people I'd expect to be associated with them. No real way to ask that IC...

Yes, for that theme, the main character(s) can be heroic or noteworthy as long as what actually happens in the story illuminates what daily life is like in their world.

If we end up with a tie, I'll randomize the final theme from among the top choices.

I wonder how much we can trust what Weavile says. I don't think he's trying to mislead us here, but he may not have been given the truth himself. Kind of too bad that he shot down the shard idea here; that was an interesting potential answer to all the strangeness! Us being an Yveltal from...
