We're back with another flashback interview! This time we're taking another look at Shiny Phantump's "Dark-Clothed Small Human," the second-place winner of last year's contest! "Dark-Clothed Small Human" by Shiny Phantump Available on: TR Judges' Comments Interview With the Author How was...

So these were the keys to other mythical pokémon's worlds, huh? Disappointing that they weren't a way home, but that was interesting anyhow. Though they couldn't possibly all be special mythical keys, right? No way there were this many legendary pokémon around. Nate had a strong suspicion that...

hell yes let's commit some crimes

Whatever Mightyena and the klefki might be talking about over there, at least it didn't look like it was going to turn into a fight or nothing. Clink didn't sound any better, really, when it spoke up next, but it didn't sound worse. What it actually said, though... Darkrai? The one he'd seen...

After the noise and chaos they'd left behind in the restaurant, the relative calm on the far side of the portal was almost eerie. A few people looked to be horizontal, out cold after that fucking wild battle, but most people didn't look hurt. The birds and Wallace even looked like they were...

To say that everything happened at once would be a fucking understatement. From Celebi popping up out of nowhere, to Odette going full Rambo mode (where the fuck had she gotten a fucking gun), to slamming straight from the dorms into screeching smoke alarms, everything drenched, and Evil Orzo...

Odette was quick with an explanation, and to patch the hoopa up a bit, too. It certainly looked a lot rougher than the hoopa that had gone to dinner with Xavian's gang. You could almost imagine it had been poisoned. Nate didn't find the explanation itself all that reassuring, though. "Never...

Nate had to smirk when Odile revealed she'd snagged the prison bottle, whether she'd been supposed to or not. He couldn't say whether that was quick thinking or just a natural inclination to be a little shit, but he wasn't going to argue with it. They might not have a clue how to use the damn...

Odette and Wes' investigation had clearly gone much better than Nate's own, given how they'd blown out of the room they'd been searching like they were expecting Xavian to show up any minute. Or, hell, maybe they hadn't found anything except a sign that Xavian's party was going to head home and...

deeply disappointed that Gilliver nixed the fake blood tbh

Long time, no see! Glad you decided to give this place another look. Glad you're still writing, too, even if it takes you a while to publish anything. I look forward to your one-shot, too, whenever you're able to post it! You don't need to worry about going off on random tangents, but if you'd...

Sup, Perse. What do you know? I actually caught up with this, and in July (EST), too. It’s hard to know what all to say here, because I think these last two arcs represent more than half the total word count in the fic so far. It’s got to be at least a third. It’s been quite a ride, and there’s...

Nothing of note here, either. Nate frowned, took a couple pictures of the bookshelf, and returned to the hall. There really wasn't a hell of a lot here, was there? Which was a blessing, Nate supposed; not like they had unlimited time to case the place. The thing Clink's key unlocked had to be...

Glad to see this back! Mmm, if left to my own devices I think my play would be... 1) attempt to negotiate with Chef Meganium for her to take a temporary pay cut, likely pinned to the reinstatement of the 20% guild take. Something like 2/3 her current salary until that bump happens. If she...

There didn't seem to be a whole lot of interest on the desk. Nate paged carefully through the rich guy's papers, trying to get at least a sense of what they were. Mostly lists, names, purchase orders, that sort of thing. Figuring out if there were any clues here would take some real...

Nate smirked in response to Odette's question. "Maybe once or twice," he said. Wes didn't respond, though. Honestly, he wasn't looking too good just in general. Nerves? Nate had kind of assumed he did this sort of thing all the time. Well, maybe this was an unusual case, seeing as it maybe meant...

And with that, initial sign-ups for this year's Exquisite Corpses is closed! I'll be getting together with the other corpse-runners to decide who's going to oversee what and get all of the logistics worked out. Anyone tapped to be first writer should expect to receive their go-ahead within the...

As the community continues to grow, our staff team will need to get larger in order to keep up with increased levels of activity. With that in mind, please join me in congratulating Seren and SparklingEspeon on joining the moderation team! They'll be helping to keep the conversation running...

It's been three weeks since the contest submission closed, so here's our first check-in with the judges! All three judges report that they're doing well and have reviewed around half (9-10) of the entries. They've been enjoying your stories, and I'm sure that putting together those final...

Judging is currently underway for this year's contest, and while we wait for those results, it's a great time to give last year's stories one last hurrah! Whether you missed them last year or would just enjoy a reread of some old favorites, now's your chance to revisit some of the excellent...
