You may! You can even use stories you've already started writing if you'd like. But previously published stories, no.

Absolutely not! And if you were to pick a canon myth, it wouldn't have to be one involving a legendary pokémon, either.

One-Shot Contest: Myths and Legends The Pokémon world is full of incredible creatures, from common Pokémon capable of calling up thunderstorms to immensely powerful beings able to stop time, level continents, and perhaps even revive the dead. The humans living alongside Pokémon have been...

Welcome! It's awesome that you're trying out pokémon fic for the first time. Good luck with your attempt! Hope you're having fun with it. In the meantime, welcome again, and I hope you enjoy hanging out on the forums.

Author's Notes: Another meaty chapter here, and not because I smooshed anything together this time. It's just always been this long! I suppose I need to finally embrace that I'm destined to write 7k-10k chapters no matter how I try to keep it concise. Now, at least this one has an excuse for...

Sorry for the delay! Your story is up in the library, and your feature post will appear tomorrow.

Ehhh, fun! Short but not too short stories. It's interesting to build around more or less one joke; usually your stories have a lot going on in them, but these are a bit more focused. Which is definitely what you want for quick one-shots like this, I think! My favorite so far is the cramorant...

Oh, hey! Seen you around on the Discord and posting scene, but it was fun to learn a bit more about you here. And don't worry, I'm happy to eat all the olives that would otherwise plague you. :) Looking forward to catching up with your fic and seeing you around more. Hope you have a good time here!

Ah, looks like it does! That should help. Although, yeah, free online shorts would also work well. Ah, I don't feel like I'm being helpful in actually deciding anything... I think pretty much all of these sound interesting, one way or another.

Author's Notes: Chapter eight is here! Way, way late on the upload; I've been super busy the past few days, and this chapter is both longer and needed more attention than the previous ones. Way back when, this was two chapters and included a trainer battle in the second half. I later decided the...

The first poem on the forums! It's awesome to see one posted here. Well, I still haven't played Super, so I can only assume this is about Dark Matter and don't know to what extent the events mentioned here mirror the ones in the game, although what you've described here sounds like a classic PMD...

I think I'm most interested in Jagannath, City of Saints and Madmen, Hidden Life of Trees, and Unseen City. I was wondering if you might know any ways to, uh, conveniently obtain any of these? I forgot that the libraries I live near don't have as broad a selection as I'm used to and that that...

I'm interested for sure! Did you have any books in mind to start with?

Ohhh, another fic playing with the idea of N as pokémon-turned-human? I'm here for it. Great concept, and you've put together a really heartbreaking take on it here. I thought you did a great job with the conversation Hilda overheard; you really nail the tone of scandalized gossip, the kind of...

All set! Your feature's up on the blog, and you're story's been added to the library as well. Thanks for submitting!

Good call. There's no reason not to make it something standardized that people can check their work against. And with that, the poll is closed! It was a tight race the whole way, but in the end Myths and Legends squeaked out a win over Human/Pokémon Partnership by a single vote! That's our...

@OldschoolJohto Oh man, another MtG fan! That Bug deck sounds like a lot of fun... Red/Blue does feel obvious for a Magma/Aqua story, but I feel like the actual characteristics of the team are almost the opposite of their usual elemental associations? Like, especially after the ORAS update, I...

Author's Notes: I really need to get better about remembering to actually do these on Friday. (Or even before Friday and not last-minute, how novel!) In any case, from around this chapter it should be clear why I include strong language in the warnings for this story, heh. Chapter 7 The stars...

Well, I got to see the prologue of this earlier, but it's fantastic to see it all posted and with a first chapter, too! Marshadow is an unusual pokémon, and I'm really curious about his origins. Is he literally the ghost of some other pokémon? (Maybe a legendary?) Is he eventually going to...

Fantastic! Thanks to you both. At this point I think we should be all set for judges. Just a couple days left for votes, and our top categories are neck and neck! If you haven't put a vote in yet, please do so soon... the outcome is very much still up in the air.
