@Seren @Flyg0n @UnknownUser55 @FauxFox "The Loyal Three were the revered guardians of our village," the narrator continued, "In exchange for our ancestors' worship, they blessed us with wisdom, with beauty, and with compassion. One day, our famous mask-maker crafted for them a beautiful set of...

@Seren Up at the stage, the show was just beginning. A woman in an elegant kimono and eevee mask was narrating, while three people in long, black robes and Loyal Three masks shuffled onto the stage. "Long ago, our village knew prosperity, with the Loyal Three living in peace and harmony with...

Whoops, I definitely should have... @canisaries @IFBench @Seren @System Error @ShiniGojira @UnknownUser55 @Flyg0n @Dragonfree @Sinderella @Phoenixsong

The Festival of Masks The lights and sounds of the Festival of Masks beckon travelers in from afar, music filling the warm summer-night air beneath thick strings of paper lanterns. Fires burn in the toro all along the path snaking up to the grand pavilion, and closer in the smell of fried food...

All right, that's time! Looks like we've got a pretty fun group of characters here; should be a good game. It's 24 hours until the game proper starts. Look out for a DM from me (knowing me, like 10 minutes before things start, but hey) with some further instructions, and then we'll get rolling...

Love the little clam creature! Definitely seems like there's a lot of fun stuff you can do with cognions, with them taking on such diverse forms to begin with and then the opportunity for them to change further with fusions like these. It'll be fun to meet more of them along the way! It seems...

The Festival of Masks Every year Kitakami celebrates its Festival of Masks, an ancient tradition where villagers don intricate masks and gather to share in good food, games, music, and storytelling. In recent years the festival has attracted visitors from afar, and there's no distinction...

Yooo, happy birthday! Hope it's an awesome one!

November looms once again... will you be writing? If you're not familiar, National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, is a one-month writing challenge taking place in November. Traditionally the goal is to write a 50,000 novel in a month, but you can customize the challenge according to your...

Ooh, I really love the glitchy vaporwave vibes of this! And a little dose of horror, too. Very nice. I enjoy when alien locales really feel properly alien, and a bit dangerous. A rather disorienting beginning to an adventure, which seems appropriate, as this is a rather strange and disorienting...

Yeah, the forum file upload limit is set to 2MB, and the forums also proxy all images, so that restriction applies even to images hosted externally. And it does not give a coherent error message to let people know when size is the problem. =/ If you ever have trouble getting something under the...

Read your Alola Pokédex review, and just wanted to say that I feel this so hard: I may or may not have typed up a couple angry comments about the awful science in these sorts of fics before thinking better of it and deleting. :P

Erazon's got some good questions for you to start off with. Here are some other ones that I often think about when it comes to PMD-like settings: - First, well, what makes it NOT PMD? A quick run-down of where your world differs from the canon would probably help people wrap their heads around...

Seems like we've had a fair few Lat@s fics around here recently, and I'm here for it! There's a lot to explore in the wake of Latios' death, and you really turned up the heat here by having Kanon's grandfather pass away as well. (At least, I think that didn't happen in the movie?) I like the...

Hey, Espy! Glad to see you bringing out your big revision. Didn't realize I missed the first installment, but I'm glad I got in before you got too far along. Congrats on finishing your revisions and getting to the posting phase! I know it was a big project, so it's great to see the fruits of...

Eyyy, this is a super cool idea! I think you did a nice job narrating Kieran's core conflict here. My favorite bits are the reversal of the chorus at the end and the little "(We all know who she'll choose)" in the middle there. Fingers crossed we'll get another song to resolve the kind of bleak...

lmao Camellia's not having any of Eliza's bullshit. Curious if we're going to learn a little more about Breen next page. :eyes: So we've got a delphox founder of Registeel and a chesnaught guildmaster of Regigigas... wonder if we'll see a greninja, soon, and whether they end up being...

I think what normally makes a scene tense is a real sense of stakes--what sort of consequences will there be if something goes wrong here? You want the reader to come to the scene with a strong investment in the outcome, so that they're really rooting for things to go well and will be watching...

On the sign at the Crystal Pool--it says something along the lines of stories having it that people could see visions of departed people in the waters. I'm curious whether it might have something to do with the Loyal Three getting revived... Kieran had Ogrepon's mask at the time he punched the...

And there you have it! That's a wrap for our Aeons and Avatars contest. Once again, a huge shout-out to the winners, the judges, and of course all of the writers who put in time and effort to make this another wonderful one-shot contest. I also hope you, the readers, enjoy sampling some of the...
